Brother & Sister Forever

Brother & Sister Forever

 

As Alice went into the house, she saw her older brother playing games on the computer.

“Hi, Time!” said Alice while she puts her bag that is full of presents in her room.

“Can you bring me a glass of water?” asked Tim without any movement (still looking at the computer screen).

“Sure, anyway my friends are coming soon. You better get changed right now.” Alice suggested.

 

“Ding Dong!” When Alice heard the doorbell, she raced to the door.

“Hello, Alice~ Happy birthday!” exclaimed Alice’s friends.

“Thank you so much! Come on in.” added the birthday girl.

 

When most of girls had gone home, Alice and her best friend, Ketty were sitting on the floor in silence.

“I wish I had a brother like yours. My brother doesn’t even care about me. He is so ignorant. Don’t you think he should be grown up by now? expressed Alice before she realized that her brother can hear her from where he is.

“But he is still your brother, he loves you. Anyway I have to go now, it’s getting dark. Bye~” said Ketty.

“See you.” uttered Alice.

 

As the door closed Alice’s brother came out from his room.

“I wish I had a sister like Ketty too! She is a whole lot better than you!!!” Tim shouted.

“I always tried to be the best sister for you but you?, you don’t even try to be nice to me or look at my eyes and talk!” Alice yelled.

 

Suddenly Alice ran away to the park with tears falling down from her eyes. Alice sat on the swing and thought about the old times when she and her brother played happily together.

‘Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.’ Alice thought what her dad said to her when he was dying.

 

She got up from the swing to apologize to Tim. This was not the only time that Alice and Tim argued. It was always Alice who had to apologize.

 

Suddenly! She saw someone coming to her. It was Tim!

“I’m sorry, I’ve always been a terrible brother to you, Please forgive me.” Tim made an apology.

“Of course I can, I’m sorry too. I will be a better sister to you from now. Come on brother. Let’s go home. It’s cold outside.” Alice suggested as she held her brother’s hand.

“Thank you, Alice. Happy Birthday.” The young grown up man with a small smile handed an enormous Teddy Bear to her.

“You always wanted to have a huge teddy bear when you were younger.” said Tim.

“Thank you……” murmured Alice with a shaky voice. 

The World Of Robots

The World of Robots

 

Paul was standing in the middle of a huge blue coloured room, watching the orange sky turning to dark blue through the window. He couldn’t understand why his family liked the new patterned wallpaper. “OK! Let’s start cleaning this house; we can’t stay in this smelly house forever!” Paul’s mum cried. To avoid cleaning, the boy with a sneaky smile crawled to his empty room. There was nothing in his room but very old drawers with a broken edge at the bottom. As he gazed around the room again he could see sparks coming out from a crack in the decayed drawers. Paul slowly walked to the set of drawers and opened the bottom one. “BOOM!!!” In a second everything changed.

 

‘Wow, where am I?” Paul thought. The only thing he could see was huge buildings and an enormous fake sun in the middle of the sky. There were robots moving around busily everywhere!

 

“Excuse me; I think you should follow me right now, quickly!” One strange man whispered. Paul and the strange man hid behind a stinky rubbish bin.

“Are you from the past?” the man with a nervous voice asked.

“Can I ask you a question first please? Where am I?” Paul answered.

“I guess you are in the future.” Uttered the man wearing very posh clothes.

“WHAT?” cried Paul, thinking that the old drawers took him here.

“Humans are not allowed to stay anywhere now in the future, it’s robot world. Everything is under control by robots, that’s why I hurried to bring you here; somewhere robots can’t see us. I also came from the present time but quite a long time ago. I just found out the way to go back to the present time. However I was so poor in the modern time so we are going to steal the pills that are going to be really expensive in current time.” 

 

Paul was very confused but one thing for sure was if he stole, he could be rich when he went back to the modern time. Paul knew it was bad to steal, though he still wanted to be rich.

“What are we going to do then?” said Paul with a determined voice.

“We are going to steal this pill that can fix Alzheimer’s disease. I found out this pill can get rid of Alzheimer’s disease when I was pretending to be a human slave for robots and I went to the robot pharmacy. I asked a whole lot of question about the pill to the pharmacist, saying to them that my owner wanted to know about it. After that I knew every thing about the pill” added the man.

“Wow, you are a genius. So are we going to attack them?” Paul suggested.

“No, way! We are going to pretend that we are slaves and get those pills. Also you have to try to talk like a robot when you go into the pharmacy.” Said the man as they were almost ready to walk into the store.

 

 “I will make sure no police robots come.” Confirmed the man, standing in front of the pharmacy door. “Ok then.” As Paul walked through the doorway everyone in the pharmacy pointed their guns at him. “I am the slave for the robot called……” said Paul, trying to think of one of the names. “George.” Paul finished his sentence. “Come in, what does he want?” replied the robots as they put the massive guns down. “He wants to get a whole lot of pills that can fix the humans Alzheimer’s disease.” Said Paul, struggling to speak like robots. “Here, it costs $368,904,210.” The robot exclaimed.

“My owner is going to come here and pay that money, he said he doesn’t trust me to give you the money.” The boy answered.

“I understand.” Said the robot facing Paul.

“All right, see you later!” cried Paul, almost running away from the pharmacy. But he couldn’t find the man anywhere.

 

“Psst. Hey here!” whispered the man, looking very happy to see the pills.

“You were supposed to stand here and make sure the police robots didn’t come in.” said Paul with a little mix of anger in his voice.

“But there weren’t any. Anyway give me those pills.” said the man. Suddenly, Paul regretted stealing, he knew it was wrong, but he had already stolen them. The man ran away from the little boy with the pills. Soon Paul heard siren noises as he stood outside the pharmacy. He was consumed with guilt and froze on the spot.

“You are arrested for pretending to be a robot’s slave and stealing very expensive pills.” announced the police robot. Paul thought to himself.

 

If you know it’s a bad thing to do, don’t do it.

Writing

As July gently broke the surface of mirror with her paddle, she was tired of paddling in endless thick white fog. When she stopped paddling, the mirror of the river came back in shape.

When did you feel you got ripped of?

My host father said he bought a demonstration product at the shop. When the product arrived at home, it was damaged. Then the shop replaced the damaged one and gave him the new one.

Improper Fraction

Do you need to buy something to be a customer?

No because like when you sign up to web sites, you are being a customer but you are not buying something to be a customer at this point.

Definition of cusumer and retailer

Cusumer- The person when you buy something from other people. ( But it doesn't mean you have to buy something to be a cusumer.)

Retailer- The person that sells something to other people.

Updated goals

My goal for reading was to get my reading age closer to my chronological age. I am getting it closer and need to continue to do so. To close the gap even more I need to continue reading a range of material, work hard during reading sessions and continue to increase my vocabulary.
To improve my writing I need to read different genre, read what I have written to make sure it makes sense and continue to plan my writing in detail.
My goal for mathematics was to complete my basic facts in less than 2 ½ minutes. I have achieved this as my fastest score is less than 2 minutes. Now I want to continue to develop my understanding of English mathematical terms. I will learn words I don’t know by asking for help explaining them.

WHAT PROCESSES CHANGE THE EARTHS SURFACE?

Weathering and erosion make the Earths surface change like floods,rain,storms,tornado and cyclones those make landforms change because water wash land away and the wind moves dust,sand,water and land. Also glacier change part of land because it expands between lands.

The moon has no atmosphere so there are no weathering and erosion but meteorites changes can the moon surface.
