Writing Final Exam

I have worked a lot in Writing III and IV. I will talk about six points of what I have worked in the class. First, I will talk about essay. I have prepared before writing an essay, and it is an Essay prep. I think it is important for me, because I can write many cantents in an essay. If I don’t prepare before writing essay, I can’t write a content very well. Also I can notice a miss of the essay. It is good point of essay prep. I think about a content again after I wrote an essay prep. Writing a content as much as possible, and then you can write a good essay. And I will talk about essay. Essay is hard work, because I have to write most of all essays in a week. It is difficult, also it has many important points what I write. Most difficult point is third person’s view point. I used it when I write essay, and it is hard for me. It is important what prepare before writing an essay.

Second, I will talk about Book reviews. I think it is most hard work in Writing class. I have read many books in the class. Reading a book is easy, but writing a book review is difficult. I can’t write many paragraphs at first, because I don’t know about what I write in a book review. However I read many classmate’s book reviews, so I noticed some points of book reviews. I wrote reviews about some stories that I devided. It is good for me, also I can write many paragraphs in a book review. Moreover I think that the author’s name is difficult. I have to make the Bibliography in Writing class. It is reference of book. Of cource, author’s neme is one of them. However I don’t know a family name and given name. I missed it many times, so I thought that is difficul point of writing book reviews.

Third, I will talk about posts on topics of choice. I have write many posts in Writing class. It was hard for me, also I have write many contents of me. I have to write many posts in Writing class. Maybe I wrote at least five posts in a week. There are many contents around me, but Writing blog posts every day is hard. So I often prepared a post when I have a free time. It is good idea, I think. So I have write many blog posts in the class. It was good point of Portfolios too. I used links in these posts. It is good for explain about content of blog posts. It is important that I use some functions as much as possible, I think.

BR 2-12: The Scaredy Cat

“There was once a cat who lived in a big town. His name was Stanley.”(Punter, 2008, p.2)

The Scaredy Cat

I like the book very much since I read the book for the first time. It is a fiction story, but it is great story. I really enjoyed to read the book. When I looked the book for the first time, I thought the book's illustration is cute and the book's title is interesting. I can't understand a meaning of “SCAREDY” when I looked the book at first. The meaning is important in the book. I really enjoyed to read the book, and I want to read again.

I will introduce a story of this book. In a big town, there was a cat with others animals and people. The cat's name was “Stanley”. Stanley was scared of everything, so everyone called him “Scaredy cat”. Stanley always scared something, for example, planes, trains, boys, noise, heights, kites, frogs, dogs, and more. One day, Stanley went for a walk with his friends, and they are “Tabby and Snowy”.

After a while, they found a mouse, but Stanley said “Let’s not”. Tabby and Snowy said “Let’s go in”. Stanley followed his friends inside. Suddenly, the mouse ran across the hall and down to the cellar, so Snowy and Tabby raced downstairs. However, Stanley said “I’ll stay here” because he scared of something. Now Stanley was all alone, so he felt really scared. And then, Stanley saw something of scared in the house. Stanley was scared very much, however friends don't help him. What do Stanley do after that?

Stanley was scared of everything, so people say “SCAREDY Cat” about Stanley. I thought same thing too before I read the book perfectly. However after I read the book, I thought Stanley was brave cat in all cats. I like him so much. If Stanley be here now, I will want to see him so much. He is a hero in the book, so I thought he is hero on my mind.

This book is a Usborne first reading series, and this book is level three. The Usborne first reading series's book is easy to read for almost people. So you can read the book easily. A sentence is short and a content is easy, and a paragraph is few in a page. I really recommend you this book.

Years ago, dragons were the terror of towns. People lived with the dragons in that time, but people scared the dragons. The dragons was stronger than people very much. People didn't beat the dragons even brave knights. However some people try to challenge to the dragons. This story is about the challenging of some people.

I can read the book without a dictionary. A paragraph is not longer, and a sentence is not longer and difficult. I really enjoyed to read the book.

I like “Chapter two” of the book. When I read the chapter, I thought dragons are not bad and fierce. People are under the impression that dragons are fierce, so people will avoid the dragons. However the dragons aren't fierce thing what people thought. I thought the dragons are weak in the book. People didn't know that yet, so people have to think about what I say and do more. I thought that I should think about all more carefully, and it is important for people.
