My Writing Class

              Every Monday (Unless changed) I have a writing class at my Chinese school 7:00-8:30 . Last time I learned about hooks,thesis and transition sentences. The hook is a sentence that catches a reader's eye so the reader will want to keep on reading. Here are some I learned that you can try...   Imagine... You are a famous rock star and was the most richest person in the world OR Would you like to be the most richest rock star? OR "EVERYBODY GET A CAR" Those were the famous words of Oprah Winfrey. Right after the hook is the thesis. The thesis is a sentence that tells what your paragraph is going to be about. Example: He had a poor childhood, a rich adulthood and then he just got famous! After the thesis there is a transition sentence. It makes the paragraph smooth so the reader is on the right track and is going to know what the next paragraph is about. That is all I learned at class so next time I will tell  more!

My Dad's Company's Annual Picnic (5/6/12)

      Today my dad,sister,grandpa and I went to Smokey Glen Farms to go to my dad's company's annual picnic.
      At first when we arrived we were a bit early so we went to the arts and crafts table. There were so many things to choose from, so I picked a picture frame to make. You were given a foam picture frame and some stickers to start with. All you had to do was to take the stickers and put it on the the picture frame for decoration. Then I found this other activity were you can make key chains, bracelets and necklaces. I made 2 key chains the original one was where you put beads on a plastic string and tie it then you are finished. I made a doll one too,you had to get a head bead and make pipe cleaner arms as well as pipe cleaner legs. And I made a necklace (it was the easiest one) all you had to do was put bead on a chain and tie it. Another activity was putting colorful sand in things. I made 2 pens and 1 bracelet. All you had to do for both of them is take a funnel connect it to the thing you want to put sand in.
      When we were done doing crafts we went to eat. At first the meal wasn't ready we just ate chips ,cotton candy or popcorn. When the meal was ready we ate hot dogs, salad, chicken and more. After the main meal was over we ate cookies and ice cream for desert.
      After that my dad and I went to play with the games. We started to play mini golf which took me a long time to beat. And we went to play with the horseshoes where you tried to throw on the pole. At the end I won.
      That was a fantastic day I will never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
