Why did I do it? Philip Malloy

I regretted after transferring to a new school. I couldn't forgive myself making so much trouble and being a disturbance in the class. And the worst of all, Miss Narwin was planning to resign after all the troubles I had done. Miss Narwin was a good teacher. She put in a lot of effort to make us like literature.

I really should not be so mischievous when the national anthem was being played. I should just stand there and keep quiet. I really should not think that she was always against me. I should concentrate during her lessons and able to achieve well grades in the examinations and importantly able to join the track team. Because of me, Miss Narwin's reputation was bad and had a bad impression for others. I am really sorry. I truly hope I will have the opportunity to apologize to her. I regretted the entire thing I had done. Why did I do it?

My Reading Habit

I had started reading when I am in primary3. As English was the worst subject in primary school, my teacher encouraged us to start reading storybooks in order to gain vocabulary and do well in the English paper. My primary school had a small library which enable us to read chinese storybooks, newspaper and so on.

Our school also had a small book fair held every year. During those period, I will sprint to the recess and bought the books which entertained me the most.And during weekends, my parents will take me to the national library. There, I will mostly spent five hours reading novels or inference books etc.

Over the years,I had benefited a lot from reading books. My grade for English increased from grade C to A. It all thanked to books, especially the book called "New concept English 1". I had just read a book called"Nothing But The Truth". I think it is a very good book. In conclusion, I felt that reading is very important. It helpes us in writing, vocabulary and even grammar. Start reading now!

The Shanxi Mine Explosion

I had just read finish today's Straits Time. I had found one article which made me very sad. The article is about mine explosion happening in Shanxi, China.

A gas explosion ripped through a coal mine in Shanxi, killing at least 74 miners. It is the worst mine accident happening in more than one year. About 436 miners were working underground when the blast occured.There are many miners trapped underground, they were only rescued after many hours the accident had happened. A total of 114 miners were under observation at the hospital. There are also a few people who suffered serious injuries.

It was really a very sad accident. I really hope the miners who had suffered injuries are able to get well soon.

School Rules

Last Friday, our class had been discussing about school rules. It started from 7.40am to 8.40am which lasted for one hour. The conversation was about some school rules. One of the school does not allow their students to go to the library or shopping center and more after the students are dismissed.There are also teachers patrolling at the neighbourhood. But in my opinion, I think it is right for the teachers to do that. I think they are doing all this to ensure their students reached home safely and not wandering around the school.

1P429 and I are doing a wonderful job during the one hour. Mdm Lim even praised us, perhaps we can get a very high grade. Well,I am going to have my dinner now. Goodbye.

TENNIS(1P431)

I am here to post my 4th blog. Next week is going to be the first test I am having in my new secondary school. Must study hard.

I am one of Roger Federer's fan. Federer is a great tennis player from Switzerland. On last Sunday, he faced Rafael Nadal from Spain in the Australian Open Final. It lasted for five sets and was more than four hours. The final score is 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3) ,3-6, 6-2. Federeer lost. He needed a victory to match American Pete Sampras, carrer record of 14 men's Grand Slam tourments singles titles. I was very sad after watching the match.

Federer choked up after receiving the runner-up plate. He was not able to say a few more sentences into his speech before he started to cry.

Federer, jia you. You are my great Tennis player. Go for it and win.
