English class was a turning point of my sophomore year not only because I have learned so many useful skills and knowledge, but also because this class made me to become a person who loves learning and working hard. I want to thank Ms. Guarino who keeps helping me when I lost my way, and she is not only my teacher, but also a good friend. We always talk and share ideas about books, movies and things that happened in class and on campus. I also want to thank all my classmates because they always participate in class to share their thoughts which helps me so much when I was trying to understand books or author’s meaning. They also helped me with my homework and reviewing. I hope that we can all achieve our goals in the future, and we should keep our good works up in next year.
I have learned so many things in this class this year, and I want to talk abou the three things that change me the most. The first thing is what I am doing now -- wring blogs. When the first time I heard Ms. Guarino said that we would write 500 words blogs, my heart was broken in pieces, so it died so “Piecefully”. The first time I wrote 500 words was so tough, and I spent more than a hour to finiit. However, after so many blogs, I became better and faster, and the most importand is that I started enjoying to write blogs. Writing blogs also made me to get help from writing center. I did not remember that there was a place called wrting center last year, but now I can tell you who will be in the writing center during C period which is my free period without looking at the scheduel. Every time after I went to writing center, I learnd new skills from teachers, and I used in my next writing homework. The second thing I learned is the happiness and glamour of reading. To be honest, I hated reading at the begaining of the year, but now I like to read different books and study different characters’ stories, feeling and emotions. It feels, like I am part of the book, the character and scenes. I will keep reading more and more books. The last things I learned is that the connection between drama, books and real life. I saw three shows that was presented by Cheshire Academy varsity actors. Three of them were extremely good, and they all brought me into a dramatic world. I will take IB Lit and Perf SL and I will join the theater.
My favorite book this year is Gathering of Pearls because this is the book reflect my life who study abroad in United States. I can truely feel whst Sookan feels and thinks. Every books in this class that we have read were good. But only Gathering of Pearls was the one which I can feel deeply. I have a so similar experience, like Sookan. I had a hard time when I first time came hear, and after a year, I made so many good friends and I have a good roommate now.
I want to read some mystery books because it will attract me to read, or I might forget the book because I am too free in summer which is not good. I suggest we can also read some comic books.
I am looking forward to see he summer reading list, and I am so excited for next year’s class. We will keep having fun in class. I hope everyone can do their best in finally test and having fun in summer.
