Expections


My parents put high expectations on me, especially in the subject of Chinese and Maths. Sometimes, although I have put in a lot effort studying for the test, yet the results are poor,they will tell me to strive harder for the next test to get better grades.


In my opinion, I will not put a very high expection on children, otherwise they will be very stressful. As long as the child puts in effort studying for the test, I will not punish them. I will tell them to work hard for the next test and achieve a better result.


I think that the expectations will differ due to the generation gap as different generation will have different expectations on their children.

Title : The Stonewalker

Author: Vivien Alcock

Everyone is tired of Poppy Brown's stories and hence Poppy started talking to garden statues. Later her favorite statue, Belladonna, is struck by lightning and comes to life, Poppy have to find a human who will listen. Poppy's classmate Emma is skeptical, but was curious to help Poppy investigate the living statues, which are disappearing from gardens all over town and assembling somewhere on the moors. What seemed fascinating at first soon becomes terrifying as the two girls are captured by the creatures they had observed,the creatures who are at once beautiful, spiteful, and as unfeeling as the stone they're made of.
