How is a pencil made?

Almost all the students have pencils in their pencil box, but do you know how it is made? First, cut the wood into rectangular shapes, and then cut into smaller rectangular shape. Next, the wood needs to be put on something like wax to protect our hand to not been hurt. After this, the wood will cut a long half hole to put the leads. When the leads is on the wood, the other half of the wood can start combine it together to make it become a no color and eraser's pencil. The pencil is already half way done. The pencil is still a rectangular shape, so the machine will cut it into hexagonal prism. It is impossible that the machine only do one pencil in once, so bunch of the pencils are still stick together. The next process is need to cut it individual. Actually this is done. The company might put on some color or their logo. On the other side of the pencil will put a ferrule enable to put the eraser. That is the whole process to make a pencil.

Explain briefly how to do your favorite activity

I think my favorite activities are playing computer games and watching television. How do I play computer games? First, I will sit infront of the computer and turn on the computer, then I sign in to Facebook, next I click on the games. Last, I start to play my computer games. Sometimes I will have to ask my friend to help me. The first I will do if I want to watch television program is sit infront of the television, next I will turn it on. Then I start to watch it. If I don't like what the program is showing now, I will change to other channel to check wheather there is any interest channels are showing now. Doing these can make me get not that boring, it also can kill some time. I feel everytime doing these thing is very interesting.

A gift

I think cheated can be a kind of gift I had received before. Cheat on a test is a terrible action, but because of cheating, my mom and teacher had started to cares about me. Before the first time I cheated. My mother always just checked I have finish my homework or not, and she let me do what everything that I want. After she caught I cheat, although she still have punished me, but she started to care about my test grade and also brought some book for me to practice for each subject. Same as the teacher, before I cheated the teacher just treat me as a student as others. After I have cheatd, I felt that he started to want to chat with me, and because we had chat many time, I felt the teacher have treat me better. I might need to thank myself that I had cheat to made others more care about me.

"The Pearl" Ch4 Reader's Response

This time I think is not these dealer's mistake, it was Kino's wrong. Even the dealers think the pearl was not worthless, but the dealers have give a thousand pesos. Actually this have already made the neighbors think its a large amount of money, but  Kino still rejected the price and said the pearl should sell more than thousand pesos. He was starting to be greedy, wants more and more money to live. If the dealers give him ten thousand pesos, he might also rejected it because the price is too low. When he planing to go to the capital, the neighbor had also warned him that the capital is very dangerous, because of his greedy, he didn't listen to the neighbor's suggest. I think Kino will really dead because of this pearl. We actually can see that at the end of chapter 4, at night Kino had been hurt by someone again, and this time even more terrible. I might died at the next day night which killed by the strangers.

Put your self in Kino's shoes How would you react when the doctor came to your door after you found the pearl?

If I was Kino, I would felt this person is materialistic. At first the doctor didn't want to help the baby when Kino didn't have money, but now after Kino had found the pearl, doctor just came to our house and act like very care about Coyotito's wound. I would let the doctor get in to save the baby. But I would tell him how did he treat us before when we found pearl, and I would ask him to apologize to us maybe on TV or other public places. I might also tell the doctor lower the price of the medicine to prove that if he really felt sorry.

"The Pearl" Ch3 Reader's Response

I felt those people are very realistic. When Kino found the pearl's new just spread out, almost all the people starts to treated them well. It was obvious that they are doing it to get money from Juan and Kino after the pearl has been sold. Mostly is that doctor, after he knew he has a pearl, he just went to care Coyotito. Gave him medicine, and came look him after anothe hour. At first, he didn't let Kino find him and ignored Coyotito's wound. After this, he just changed to another person. Although the pearl can bring Kino hope and future, but it also will bring more dangerous in their life, there might have many people want to steal your money. Like the on the last part of the chapter 3, when Kino felt someone is inside his house, and he found that there is a persom wants to steal the pearl. And because of the pearl, he had been hurt between the fight. If I was Kino, I will not want to get that big's pearl. I rather gets a middle one that can make our life become better,and not been hurt by other strangers.

I Wish That I Could...

I wish that I could get a high score in this year, and get out of the ESL. Now when I see my calssmates in mainstream are chatting, I always can't join with them, because we have only just a few class is same. If I can put more effort in this year, I might can get out if the ESL, continue stay with some old students, and chatting with them. Actually now some of the students that is in mainstream sometimes will laugh at us. So I wish that I could get a high score in this year, and get out of the ESL.
