My cousin

My cousin, Xu, is just three years old. What strikes you first is her angelic face. In addition, she's got light black hair, bright dark eyes, and a wide friendly grin. She is not supposed to be a naughty little girl. If she gets familiar with you, she will talk non- stop, but other wise, she is a bit shy ='.'=, or she might into tear because she is afraid of stranger. She loves putting make- up on her face by herself, and she loves posing in front of the mirror. She also likes wearing floral dresses like a princess. I love the way she speaks nicely, and she is a happy- go- lucky child. Sometime she finds something interesting or funny, so it's impossible not to smile with her. I came to the U.S when she was two, but now she's still missing me. I always call for her when I have a free time because I miss her so much. She is my little angel.
Anyway, I have to say that she is quite well- behaved in school, and I hope that everything will get better as she gets older.

Dear Victor!
I understand what you did and what you thought, but the best way for you should do is to tell the truth for everybody. I think they can understand you and help you to stop the monster. One more thing you should do is to protect your family and you love. You shouldn't create a new monster.

I chose Victor because he did the monster and now he doesn't know what does he want to do. He needs to decide everything such as: create a new monster or not, how to protect his family and his love, and how to stop the monster.

Innocent (adj) not guilty of a crime.
Chase (v) to quickly follow so or s.t in order to catch them.

If I have $10,000. What will I do?

I personally think we sometimes should have a go at doing whatever I wanted, especially if I have $10,000, I will open a bank account and deposit my money into saving about 1 month. After that, I will buy new games such as NITENDO DS, XBOX, Wii and PLAYSTATIONS 3, because I really like to play games. In addition, I'll use the rest of my money to buy a ticket for my cousin and me to come back to our hometown as our holiday for a month. Moreover, I want to go to the Disney World in Florida, which is one of the biggest one in the world. I would like to enjoy some interesting games there. Plus, I would like to collect exclusive watches such as Guess or Ecko.
As you can see, there are too many things I had wanted to do for a while. Next time, I wish I would have 10 million, not 10,000.

Before the chicken or the egg comes the coop

I read an article on The Seattle Times that relate to the Fram's life. "Before the chicken or the egg comes the coop." this is the topic I read. It talked about How to make coop for the chicken or the egg? How has the chicken been growing up? And which place can you visit "Chicken coop" in Seattle? Chicken coop that mean chicken's house, or you can call "Cob house". To make a cod house you need sand, earth and straw or as straightforward as buying a used doghouse. Remember Coops don't require big pieces of lumber. They have a tour to visitors Saturday as part of the Seattle Tilth City Chickens Coop Tour. Other cities that allow chickens include Bellevue, Kent and Seatac, Seattle Tilth's city- chickens coordinator. The visitor can find out more about the coop design, placement, chicken personality, feed, how manage chicken manure, egg production based on breed and where owners get bedding. They can learn how to protect chickens from raccoons, coyotes,possums, dogs ad cats. "Nothing but the best for chickens." Jandl said.

A little bit about the story

Victor Frankenstein after he finished his study, he had a decision to make. He could go home and marry Elizabeth, or he could stay and continue his work in the lab. Instead, he stayed in Ingolstadt because he still had question about the human body and how it worked. What gives creature life? It was hard question but he needed to answer. He worked very hard and he forgot everything about his family, he didn't send the letter to his family for a long time. After that, he reached his goal. He created the monster but he couldn't control it. He came back home because his brother, William was died, and Justine was guilty. Justine, William's nanny is a good girl, she was guilty, but she is perfectly innocent. Victor Frankenstein knew who was killed William, but he couldn't told everybody because the monster did it.

My opinion about this story

Victor Frankenstein gave up his love and choice his major. So I think he got a big mistake. He works hard and forgot everything about his love, his family and his health. Everybody felt happy when victor came home because they are a family and they was sad because William was died. When we felt happy, bad, sad family always listen to us and take care for us. Justine is a good girl, she was guilty, but she is perfectly innocent. How is that fair? Victor Frankenstein should have help her because he created the monster.

Vocabulary

Dull (Adv) Not interesting or exciting.
Giant (N) A very tall, strong man in stories.
