Description about the text: 

The text tells about a girl named Sheila who was living with her mom’s ridiculous rules. One of the ridiculous rules was using the bed only at night when going to sleep. Then, if Sheila did not obey the rules, she would get punished.  

Comment about the text: 

In my opinion, Sheila’s mother in the story is too much because her rules are absurd. 

Something new: 

From the story, I learned new vocabulary such as ludicrous and guilty. In addition, I just know the house rules like in the story.

Report 3

-Date of listening: February 28, 2021

Description about the text: 

The text tells about a man named James who went to Valeria’s parents’ house. There he had dinner with a lot of Spanish food because Valeria is Spanish. Then, they spend time laughing, eating, and talking. When it was night, James thanked Valeria and her parents, then went home. 

Comment about the text: 

I like the story because the language is easy to understand and the plot is easy to follow. So, I can enjoy the story. 

Something new: 

From the story, I learned new vocabulary, it is fiancee. I also learned that Spanish omelette is made with potato, eggs, and onions. 

Rewrite in different genre:

On this occasion, I want to change this genre of the story to horror. The part that I want to change: when James, Valeria, and her parents spend time laughing, eating, and talking. Also, when it was night, James thanked Valeria and her parents, then went home. 

This is the result of a part of the story that I have changed:

When James, Valeria, and her parents were laughing, eating, and talking. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door three times. But every time James checked the door, there was no one. Then, it made everyone in the house curious and scared. So, James immediately thanked everyone and returned home terrified.

That’s all from me. I hope you can enjoy it. Thank you.😊

  Hello, everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will prepare a special gift for two characters in two different stories. The two characters are the Turtle from “How the Turtle Won the Race” and Max from “Marvellous Max.” Previously, I have read the story in Extensive Reading Central entitled “How the Turtle Won the Race” by Diane. This story tells about a running match between the Turtle and the Rabbit. How the Turtle won the race against the Rabbit who was known to be fast at running. I had to think of a special gift for the Turtle. Turtle was looked so cool when he won the race, wasn't he?😎 He proved that he could be better when he wanted to. So, that's why I like the character of the Turtle. I would like to give him this item.  After he won the race. I want the Turtle to get an award for it. Thus, he can make it as a beautiful memory. The award can also be a beautiful display. I hope the award can make the Turtle happy. The next story, I have read today in Extensive R...
