Reflection on the Trip to Malaysia and Singapore

The trip to Malaysia and Singapore was just a terrific experience. Though the weather was extremely hot in both countries, we got to meet new people and visit famous places of Malaysia and Singapore. We got to spend lots of time with our friends, and the best thing was: no homework! Personally, I believe that the most confusing thing about Malaysia was: what language do they usually use? When we had gone to their stores, we could use Mandarin and English. It felt like they knew every single language in the world! I think they also understood Taiwanese too! It is so cool. Singapore was a bit different than Malaysia. The environment was more "clean," and the food was better and more "suited" for me. Malaysian food is very different from Taiwan's. However, I think the curry was very good. :)

My Favorite Author~

My all time favorite author is Roald Dahl. He is such a talented writer, and his books are filled with creativity and great imagination. After reading The BFG, I fell in love with his books. His books are a part of my childhood, and I believe that anyone who has not read his books is definitely missing out on a lot of great works! Roald Dahl's books are full of descriptions that can bring readers into the book itself. Some of his books are hilarious, and some are just out of the ordinary. Roald Dahl's books can broaden people's minds and give them unlimited imagination and brain creativity.

My Book Recommendation to You!

My favorite books are the Hunger Games Trilogy. They describe the life and difficulties Katniss had to face. Katniss lives with her mother and her sister. Her father was blown up in a mine, and she was left to take care of her family. In the place where she lives, there are twelve districts. Each year, the Capital holds an annual Hunger Games. Contestants are chosen from each district, and they are to fight in an arena until only one survivor is left. Unfortunately, Katniss's sister was chosen. Katniss runs up and takes her place, but will Katniss survive? Go grab a copy of the Hunger Games today at your local library and find out yourself!

The Hunger Games Trilogy are my favorite books because they include suspense with each turn of a page. The author writes with a detailed description and makes me feel like I am in the story myself. They are very exciting to read, and once you start...you won't stop. :)

Reflection on North and South

The book of North and South describes about the love life of a girl named Margaret Hale. In the book, two men fall in love with her: Henry Lennox and Mr. Thornton. They both propose to her, but in the end, Mr. Thornton wins Margaret's heart. During the story, some tragedies also happen. Margaret's mother and father die, and she is left with her aunt. Personally, I thought the book wasn't very exciting and fun to read because it just kept on describing Margaret's life. However, we got a really good view of the differences between the North and the South of England. The south of England is rich and rural-like. On the other hand, the north of England is industrial and full of smoke and other debris. In this book, Margaret got to experience both places; in the story, she favors the south more.
