the breathing process in the human body

Breathing is very important for the human body. If you can't breathe, you will die soon. First, you have to open your month to let oxygen flow into your body. the oxygen will go to your lungs. Then, when you give out breath, you have to let carbon dioxide out to your month and then you complete your steps of breathing. However, when you do some exercises or any intense activities, your condition of breathing will become fast because you have a lot of carbon dioxide in your lungs, you need to get it out quickly. I hope everyone can have a normal respiratory system and your lungs are always health without carbon dioxide. That's why breathing is very important for me.

Explain briefly how to do your favorite activity?

My favorite activity is watching movies. However, I have own method to do this activity and I always plan it before I do this activity. First, I invite some best friends who are boys and girls to go to watch movie with me. Next, when I make sure that how many people will go to watch movie with me, I will go to buy the tickets in the cinema. After that, I have to tell them which place should we meet together and then go to the cinema. Finally, we can chat together, buy some drinks together, and enjoy the film together. I think it is the best way to do my favorite activity and I can have a lot of fun with friends.

A Gift

Something that is not expectable and unwanted may become a gift, and this gift sometimes changes our life. I remembered that was almost five years ago as I was my birthday. Five years ago, I was disagreeable to read books, and when I read the beginning of the sentence, I was going to fall asleep. Because reading books were boring for me, I refused to do that. However, this situation would change when I knew him who was cram school’s head. I was in cram school to study Chinese, because I was bad at writing a composition, I had to read more books to get some knowledge. After a half semester later at cram school, I left it. Before that, he gave me a book and that day was just my birthday. He thought that he knew my birthday because I saw that was covered by the wrapper as a gift. My mood was excited but disappointed soon, because it was a book. I understood this was his good intention; I should touch it by myself. When I read it on first page at home, I was interested in this book. Because I liked adventureful things, I was attractive to it. I started reading again and again, I really appreciated him because I learned a lot of stuff from there and I was joyful. After this event, I improved my writing skill a lot, and I started reading books about adventure very often. All my life, this is my best gift I have never had.

response to the pearl - chapter 4

This chapter talks about selling the pearl's process. After finishing reading this chapter, I felt that Kino was destroyed by himself and this pearl really let Kino become more dangerous. After Kino was associated with the dealer, the dealer didn't think the pearl was really worth, but the dealer gave him a thousand pesos.  In fact, the neighbor didn't argue about the money, but Kino still want the dealer to pay fifty thousand pesos. The end of this chapter, Kino's surrounding was strange and terrible, I felt the evil was coming closely to him. I think Kino didn't just want to care about Coyotito, he might also want to live with the rest of money. I guess that Kino would die with the pearl.

Put yourself in Kino's shoes. How would you react when the doctor came to your door after you found the pearl?

If I was in Kino's shoes, I would tell him that you needed to clean up first. Becasue I was afraid of him had a disease from his foot, I needed the shoes become clean.

After I found the pearl, I would collect it. Because it was valuable and worth, I didn't want to give anyone the pearl. If the doctor came to my door and knock it, I wouldn't open the door and escape him. If I was Kino, I would prepare the tools which was knife and gun, etc. Because the doctor was evil and mean, I had to bring these stuff to against him if it was necessary. If the doctor was more stronger than me, I would stop to against him then escape from the window with the pearl which I found. Both these methods wouldn't let me lose it and no more losses.

response to the pearl - chapter 3

In this chapter, the author thinks that the pearl is equal to hope for the future, and this pearl will let Kino and Juana provide for Coyotito and give him a better life. The discovery of the pearl causes a clear change in the villagers' reactions to Kino and Juana, and it gives Kino great importance. The behavior of the doctor foreshadows great disaster that Kino and Juana should meet with, which the author shows through the no-name thief who attempts to steal the pearl that night. However, I think the author also foreshadows the trouble that Kino would find with pearl buyers. In the description of the pearl buyers, although they are many of them, they are actually only one. The pearl buyers symbolize the mainly outstanding person of La Paz who can exploit Kino.

I wish that I could...

I wish that I could improve my English. English is my second language to learn, and also it is the language that every country would communicate each other. I have to improve my writing skill and speaking in English, so two things I should improve them are speaking more and writing more any time. I need to use unique words to write an essay and don't use simple words. Not only can improve my essay writing, but also can learn some new words from dictionary. And then Speaking English is more challange for me, so I need to speak English with classmates and teachers very often, that can improve my pronunciation, too. That's why I wish I could improve my English.

response to the pearl - chapter 1 and 2

Chapter 1:

I think although Kino and Juana are represented the larger community that they live, this community becomes the important development of the story. It introduces their village a lot and the village takes on its own character. However, the particular show is when Kino and Juana visit the doctor and their neighbors follow in a near procession. The idea of community is also important for various songs which Kino remembers; Kino remembers two songs in this chapter, the Song of the Family and the Song of Evil, may be this story is a fable which defines between good and evil. In this chapter, I think the doctor represents social system that places a value of money in human life, and this shows which obstacles that Kino and Juana face. Between the doctor and Kino are important role to play the doctor refusal to treat Coyotito. Therefore, this presents an adversity that Kino and Juana should suffer.

Chapter 2:

Because the author still talks about the extremely poverty that Kino and Juana live, they can’t do an own canoe and Kino has to perform his job as a peal diver, they must use a canoe that is very old. I think pearl diving is represented an act of desperation and describes Kino’s poverty. Nevertheless, Kino realizes that he has found an impressive pearl when he finds the oyster during the diving. When he realizes the important pearl he has found, he is expected and tensional. In this chapter, this event provides a great hope for Kino and Juana. However, discovering the pearl is difficult that may occur, and the pearl causes Kino to become a brave man and revert to innate behavior, this change will have dangerous consequence.
