Thrills
Original:
Sometimes I like to watch scary movies, but sometimes I don't. I like to watch the scary movies are those without so many bloody scenes. I like scary movies because it can makes you feel excited and wonder what is going to happen next, like a mystery movie. But the ones with too many bloody scenes makes me kind of sick and disgusting.
Some people like to watch scary movies because it give them a different feeling from the other kind of movies. They are more scary, and it is also harder to guess about what might happen next. Some people might like scary movies just because they like bloody, violent, and ghostly things. Also, some people just want to experience more different things.
When playing sports like bungee jump, people may be scare at first, and when they first jump off. But after they stopped, they may like it a lot, even want to try it again and again.

The Necklace Quickwrite
Original:
When you fell envy, you want to have the things that the others have. It can be things that you feel, hear, see, taste, smell, or your inside feelings. You may dream about the thing that you want all the time, that's when you don't feel extremely envy. Sometimes you feel like you really need them, and a little bit uneasy. Feeling envy can also lead to things like stealing, breaking, or even worser, murder.
If you are just dreaming about the thing, it can do no harm to you or the other person. But if you are planning to go farther then just dreaming, you are going to hurt yourself and also the people that you envied.
I have never really feel the negative affects of being envy, mostly I would just dream about them. Probably because I'm still young, so those things are things that you can use your 5 senses to feel, and not feelings.

The English Class
I would tried to do better on the homework, remember more to bring my laptop to class, and to participate more in class. I like the filming projects which we do as a group, also making the stamp. My least favorite activity is drawing the storyboard, which is because I don't know how to draw. I like I don't have a lot of creative ideas. And, also, working with other people and my friends are fun.
Thank You Ma'am Vocab Story

When we went exploring in the forest, we found a barren nest. We flipped the nest, and saw a tiny fail bird on the ground. We brought it home and took good care of it. We all felt really happy when the bird looked more presentable. Then we released the bird back into the wild.

If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in........ because............
Original:
I would live in Taiwan, because it is where I was born and where my family is. Although some of my relatives live in other countries, they will still come back for visits. Also, the climate in Taiwan doesn't change a lot. It can be hot or cold, but it isn't really hot that you keep sweating all day long. Nor is it cold that if will snow. I am also used to living in Taiwan, like the time and cultures.

The orphan find out what is the job of his adopter, who his family is and how he lost his other hand.
The orphan was adopted, so he can find out the things about his past.
It is a good story, so, I will recommend it to a friend. I think that the story has to make the reader wanting to know more and more about what what is going to happen later on in the story. But they have to give hints all the way though and not just pop up.

I think the pressure is from outside forces. When people are born, everyone is different, even just a little bit. Being the same may make same people happy because they can't do things some others can. So being the same will mean they don't have to try or do things to make other people like them more. Although, people that are better than others, might not want to be the same.

Also, the 'better' people are better than others, some they worked hard, so it's not worth it to become the same as the others.
