Peach-whatever review

The PechaKucha that I viewed was very interesting but not well done in my opinion. It was about a girl who had the strive to go jump out of a plane. She saved tons of money and volunteered to set up parachutes. She was not very good at it in the beginning and broke her foot. After lots of training and classes she finally got her license. I have learned that the key to this is an organized and interesting PechaKucha. 

Chinese Gaokao Essay

Chinese Gaokao Exam

My Pin Pal from China is named Anna. She mentioned in her letter about the Gaokao (means high test) exam that people had to do before they go to college. It is like the ACT for us but their test is way more stressful. Gaokao means The National Higher Education Entrance Examination. The test first started in the year 1952. Families stress over this exam so much. They make sure that their kid in school studies so much for this test.

Students even find the craziest ways to cheat on the test. This girl gets caught with a hidden camera in her pen, and a recording device that looks like an eraser. Other students hide cameras in other devises thinking that they could get away with it.  Due to students cheat so often, their are lots of security. 

Lots of people show up to take this test all at once due to the high rate of citizens in China. People spend the night in hotels. They also take long trips to get to the testing place. They find places that will help them study the best by being alone because lots of students stress their selves to the max over this exam. They get IV drips while taking the test because it helps them stress out less.

The three main subjects that the exam is over is math, science, and Chinese. In China, whole universities are focused just on electrical engineering or computer studies. Due to the fact that the universities are so pushed towards a minimum amount of studies, students do not get to show off the talents that they have. 

I would hate to take this exam by the research that I have done. In my opinion this test seems really hard. I thought the ACT was hard, but the Gaokao essay seems like I would have plenty of anxiety attacks. I would not think that a test could have so much security. I did not think that just a simple test could determine someones life.

Face to Facei

Face to Face

I listen to five different types of race. All of them have experienced something big in their life that had to do with fear and anxiety. They lose sleep and families worry about one another. I know that I would be really scared if I was involved in a serious situation. I know that the twin towers were a mess and awful to deal with but I barely remember it and I was miles away.

It said that I can deal with both fat people and thin people.

The Fault in Our Stars: Reading Response three

The Fault in Our Stars

More about the book I am reading The Fault in Our Stars for my book blog. I really enjoy reading it. Although when Hazel and Augustus went on their big trip to see the famous author Mr. Peter Van Houten, it didn't turn out as well as they would have liked. It didn't turn out the way I would of liked for it to of either.

They arrived and Mr. Peter Van Houten was drunk off of his butt. Augustus and Hazel did not know how to react at all. The authors secretary welcomed them in just fine, but as soon as the author saw them he wanted them gone as soon as possible. He just could not seem to put his alcohol down.

Hazel was not going to put up with what Mr. Van Houten any longer. She stood up and  wanted to walk away. Gus said, "is this some  kind of performance. " The author gave some silly speech, and was being sarcastic about everything.  Gus and Hazel left and were so disappointed in what he had to say.

The secretary felt bad for them and offered to show them around town. They really wanted to make their crappy day better. They enjoyed it, and went to a cool museum, but unfortunately their elevator was broken and because Hazel has lung cancer it is really hard for her to manage to get up the  stairs. When she made it to the very top her and Augusts kissed for the first time ever and their bad day didn't seem so bad after all.

This scene was very important in the book because it was the first time Hazel and Augustus kissed.

The Fault in our stars

 

 

Reading response two

 

 

 

I am still reading The Fault in Our Stars, and it just gets better with ever page. The way John Green writes seems to really catch my attention. He writes about the connection that Hazel and Augustus have with one another. Augustus loves to flirt with Hazel and Hazel loves him to flirt with her. She gets excited every time he texts her. Augustus tries to be really romantic to Hazel. He basically lives each day to try and please Hazel.

 

Hazel enjoys reading, but she re-reads the same book, because it is simple her favorite. Augustus wants to get a taste of the book so he reads it. Hazel has tried to contact the author of her favorite book, but just can not seem to find him. Well Augustus does some further research and finds the author's secretary's number. Hazel gets beyond happy that she must go out and write him. Her dream is to meet him so Augustus makes her dream come true. Even though her mom tells her that money is super tight. Augustus says, "So I talked to the Genies, and they are in total agreement. They said Amsterdam is lovely in the beginning of May." and he made her wishes come true. He gave his wish that the people with cancer get away to Hazel. They pack and drive there with Hazel's mom. They see the town and get to go on a very expensive date. Augustus tells Hazel that he loves her for the first time.

The movie that was made this year about this book really does a fantastic job with reacting the dinner part.

The book that I have been reading is called The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. John is a really fantastic writer. While reading this book I have really felt like I was Hazel Grace. I felt her pain, love, and passion through out the book so far. Augustus by far was a special guy. You could tell that he lived each of his days around Hazel. He wanted her to be happy and just him calling or getting a text from him really made her happy. She just wasn't used to the whole flirting feeling because she usually kept to her self. She says in the book , "Flirting was new to me, but I liked it" page(52). 

The book is about a girl that has lung cancer. She learns to keep to herself and reads all day long until her mom makes her go to some counseling session. She falls in love with a boy named Augustus who has experienced a type of cancer before, but thought he recovered when come to find out he didn't. He tries to make every day the best day of his life with Hazel. He even takes Hazel to her favorite long lost author.

 It is your job to find out if they both live or die. I would recommend this book to teenage girls that like romantic.
