review: http://www.amazon.ca/Amys-View-David-Hare/dp/0571191797


"I for Isobel", the idea of truth and of lies is a recurring theme that runs through the novel. The different between telling the truth and lying is something that Isobel finds hard to come to grips with .

I finish my Chinese oral; it is about chosen class in next year. But I think I mass up, the teacher said she will take few mark off, how silly… I do like my Chinese school, I meet lots friends over there, there are some very sweet and nice people. I have fun each time I went to Chinese school, even thought it is in Saturday. Also by the way Chinese is easy for me. Much easy than English or other, you know Chinese is my first landague, but I am do it for second landague, I guess it is not fairs to other?! Maybe.

We had a meeting yesterday, its about the mid- year exam, only 2 week to the exam, but luck me, I only need to do 4 subject, how good is that~~ in two week time~ I will have so many school day off… but I think I need to do the GAT, what is GAT test anyway, some people told me I don’t need to worry about it and there are no way to study… I hope there won’t too much science question inside the test. I hat science!

Aussie men hit by serious eating disorders
 ‘AUSTRALIAN men are becoming the latest victims of serious eating disorders, with research showing they use laxatives and diuretics in greater numbers than ever.’
1.    I find this persuasive example new.com, which is an online newspaper.
2.    Actually this isn’t trying to persuade me, I think it persuade the Australian men. This persuasive was by Michelle Cazzulino, a name of a man.
3.    Michelle Cazzulino trying to persuade the men to on diet, to become more health.
4.    The argument is very convincing, because inside there are some other’s thought of men getting fatter issue, and people’s feeling as well.

Start of the term… so many homework hasn’t done yet, and an m.math SAC at Tuesday. Two weeks holiday is too fast, all I did was sleep, play and watch TV show. Government should change the high school holiday longer, just like the university~~~ that would be so lovely~

en, I don’t know what should I write in here…maybe that it for this time.

Hi everyone, how was your guy's holiday? My holiday... I guess it is fine, hasn't done much, almost everyday stay home and reading mange. It is a very happy time for me, en... the homework, hasn't finish yet, but I think I will finish before the school start?! 
I don't know why holiday time are always so fast, it is like I go to sleep, wake up have lunch , do nothings , then is dinner time, and then one day were finish...

Some time I actually don’t like holiday, because is like all my friends are gone, and the only time I can do is doing my never finish holiday homework, so what is the point to have a holiday?

Well I guess I am kind miss school and my friends….

Hope to see them soon.
