I like the news because it can inspire and motivate people to continue working even in a pandemic situation.

Good morning, everyone! So, now I want to ask you about the news entitled “Bringing back Broadway”. What is your opinion or comment about the news? Also, if the news has affected your life. What is the effect in your life? 

1. Tiffany (a student) 

↪ I think the news is good even though I can’t watch Broadway but I can listen to the album. The news has not affected my life but I hope Broadway opens soon. 

2. William (a theater performer) 

↪ I think the news is important for people to know but for me, it is sad because it has affected my life. I’m a theater performer and I lose my job because of the pandemic. So, I hope Broadway opens soon. 

3. Krystal (a teacher) 

↪ In my opinion, the news can inspire people who lose their job to continue working and be passionate during the pandemic. The news has not affected my job but I like to watch Broadway. I hope Broadway opens soon so I can watch it again. 

Alright, thank you for your time and also for your opinions/comments. Stay safe, everyone!

    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...
