Sound Poem

I heard the owls hooting in the dark
I heard the sheep bleating beyond the hill
I heard the wolves howling in the dark
I heard the dogs barking in its kennel
I heard the horses neighing in the stable
I heard the bulls bellowing on the field
I heard the bees buzzing around their beehives
I heard the frogs croaking on the lily
I heard the mice squeaking in a mouse-hole
I heard the roosters crowing during dawn
I heard the turkeys clucking while gobbling seeds
I heard the pigeons squawking when pecking bread
I heard the ducks quacking when swimming
I heard the pigs oinking in the mud
I heard the cats meowing in the basket

Reflection of things I have learnt throughout the year

Well, for these 3 exciting terms with this new subject, LA, I feel that this subject is much relaxing than my primary school's English as I do not really focus on a lot of components in LA compared to English. For the 3 terms, we focus mainly on Comprehension, Literature and Situational Writing.

For comprehension, Mr Lundberg, my LA teacher, mainly focus on our comparative questions and summary as we are the weakest on these 2 components due to we are new to these 2 components in comprehension. He taught me various tips to score well for summary such as giving more points than the requirements, how to rephrase my sentences properly etc. After mastering these tips, I tried out in my comprehension test this term, and I have not get the results back yet but I think I will do better in the test than the previous assignment.

As for Literature, I do not have much worries for the past 2 Literature test and I did surprising well with both of the test scoring an A1! As long as anyone knows the sequence on how to write and read through the book or article before, and knows the characters inside plus their feelings, actions, attitude, anyone could score high for that. But for this term, it is a poetry, an unseen one still, I do not have the confidence that I could score as high as before but what I could say is that I will do my very best to get a good result!

For Situational writing, Mr Lundberg taught us various types of situational writing and how to write for which kind of situational writing, as I have done before situational writing in primary school frequently before, plus tips given by my LA teacher, I did well for my situational writing test in term 2. ^^
