Spring Break Plans


         For Spring Break in 2013, my plans are to go to my cousin's house, hang out with my friends, go to the orthodontist on Tuesday in the morning, go to the mall, go on the computer to watch Chinese drama and go on my phone. I have decided to go to my cousin's house because me and my younger brother will be the only one at home and we tend to be bored so I would go to my cousin's house to talk, play and watch movies. On Tuesday morning I will go to the orthodontist in the morning because I have to go for a check up for my teeth. During the spring break I will also hang out with my friends too, since we don't have school and we usually see at school. When I hang out with my friends we like to talk about random things like what we have fore homework, what we learned in class and more random things. I am also going to the mall because I like going to the mall.  And by going you could find good deals and you might be able to get or to see new things. On spring break I am also going to go on the computer and watch Chinese drama. The reasons why I watch them is because I like watching them, I tend to look at the subtitles to know how to write it and for me to know how to speak Chinese. While I am on the computer I tend to also go on Facebook to see what's new and posts that people post, YouTube to see videos that people upload because maybe you could learn new things that you didn't know before. Sometime while I am on the computer in between I would go on my phone play games like Adventure Time, Subway Surfers and Ice cream Jump I would also go on social apps like instagram to see pictures that people post. What I am most looking forward during the spring break is we get to relax and I am also hoping for the snow to melt.

        I have chosen this picture because I think this picture represent "spring" because when I think of spring I think of wonderful weather and I really like how the picture has bright green grass because spring is full of green grass, trees with full green leaves and the cool fresh air. In the spring usually the weather is very nice. During the spring I like to go to outside hang out with my friends, play with my cousin's outside, go bike riding and go for a run as well. One of my favorite seasons is spring because of the weather. I chose this picture because it also has a path, this path is very easy to see which is good because when it is the winter season you can't see the path, sometimes you could see the path but more likely you won't see it. That is one thing good about spring. Another good thing about spring is that there wouldn't be many accidents because the roads are clear. The next good thing is that there is not much work to do; you don't have to pick up leaves like the fall season. With the fences we could see beautiful farm animals eating grass and enjoy the path that we are going down. During the spring me and my friends can also hang out and sit on the bright green grass. This picture is also very beautiful which makes us think that spring is a beautiful season and by the end of the day when the sun goes down you know where you know where you are going because there is a path right there that you could see clearly. I am also hoping that the snow will melt soon because when the snow is here during the spring season it makes the spring season shorter and we won't be able to enjoy spring as much. That is why I chose this picture, and why I think that spring is a great season.

What I like about the book so far

            In today's blog post I am going to write about what I like about the book Matched by Ally Condie so far is how the officials pick their match because then everyone has someone they could talk to, and nobody is alone. What I also like about the book is how the author writes about how and what the main character is thinking about. This gives an idea for the reader a visual of what is happening and a how the character thinks of things (point of view) and makes it easy for the readers to read the book. I really like how the Ally Condie makes us feel like we are actually in the book, Ally Condie writes the book in a very detailed way to help us understand easily like what Cassia sees and what she's thinking about. Another thing I like is how the author also writes about the past and relating it back in the present of the event because it really helps us understand of why the event might be happening. I really like how the people in the society can sign up for activities like outdoor hiking up hills. I also like about the society is that everyone is pretty much the same (equally the same), nobody is lonely and nobody is too popular. But the most thing I like about the book is that it's very detailed and easy to understand. That is what I like about the book Matched by Ally Condie.

Connection

         Today, My blog post is about making connection from the book to myself. A connection between the book Matched by Ally Condie and myself would be when Cassia signed up for hiking in the forest and up so hills. It reminds me of the time when I went hiking up the mountains in Banff, Alberta. It was a cold day in October of 2012. During the weekend of Thanksgiving my family decided we would go to Alberta for Vacation. We went to Calgary, Edmonton and Banff. When Cassia signed up for hiking because she knew her grandfather liked hiking and she wants to try hiking. It reminds me of when I went to Banff, I was so tired  of walking for hours I wanted to give up and walk back down but when my family said they wanted to walk a little more, I decided I should keep on walking. Me and my family end up not walking till the top but we had a great time. Then a few days after that we walked around malls and I felt so good that I walked more during the hiking time, I also kind of miss it too. So that's what makes me think, that when Cassia is walking around the forest and hills I think that she's having a great time too and thinking of her grandfather like me thinking about me and my family having a good time. To this day I still miss the time when I went to Banff. That is a connection from the book to myself when I read it.
