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. ^^

Reflection of my Literature test

Well, I did exceptionally well this time compared to the class for Literature test. I score a 21/25 for Literature test and is considered an improvement from my last Literature test which was 19/25. For Literature test for these 2 terms, is just a standard format that we have to follow and answer accordingly, I was very happy when I see Literature tests were not very difficult after all, but when my teacher, Mr Lundberg says, that this type of Literature test will not come out in my final exams, I was totally shocked! He said that we would be learning poetry and it will be tested in final-year exam. I have always dislike poems and now still asking me to make sense of the poem, is as thought as making me go crazy....... Poetry is a very difficult topic and I am doubting my ability of doing well for my next Literature test as I do not know a single now about poem although my teacher had already taught quite a lot on this topic? Will I remain my standard, or will I fall, is a big question to ponder on. But whatever it is, I will still work hard for that and try to score as high as possible so as to continue my trend of A1s for my Literature tests.......

Reflection of Comprehension assignment

Well, I did quite badly for this term's comprehension assignment, I scored 25/45 for my comprehension assignment. See how bad is this? I have look through all the mistakes I am wrong at, only the summary is terribly bad. I think I have awkward phrasing in my sentences and I just cannot find the relevant points in the passage that meets the question's requirement. I think partly is because I am new to this sort of question and the lack of practice of it, but most importantly, I think I was too complacent already, thinking that scoring a 74 for LA last term was very good, therefore, did not work hard for my assignments. I had always had this problem since I was primary 3, but I had changed a lot since primary 4. I think I should do more practices of summary in the reading rites book I have, which I did before my makeup test for comprehension. For this test, I do not have the confident that I will scored quite well but I had already tried my best, if I really could not score well, I will just practise again and again till I can perfect it........ Wish myself all the best for my this term Comprehension test, and to all my upcoming tests...... A phrase for myself: "Don't be too complacent!!!! Or else, IT WILL 'KILL' ME!!!!"

Puppy dog

There was once a puppy dog,
Own by a cat lover,
Be it tiny or tall,
Or adores by all,
Still, it's the kittens that it despises.

Poetry on sound of bees

I heard the bees buzz and bzz wherever they go,
When they are collecting nectar, they still go bzz and buzz,
Whoosh, the wind blows, the bees still continue collecting nectar,
Still buzzing and bzzing happily,
Buzzing and bzzing, buzz and bzz,
There they are off, back to their beehive,
Buzz.........

Poetry on extended life metaphor

Life is a Christmas Tree, its thin branches
covered with frost and snow,
its brightly lighted lights warm up the atmosphere.
When winter wind blew across,
yet all it returns is a smile.
When winter ends, kept away with dismay,
Anticipating the next winter.
