Would you want to transform into a bird for times?

Image
 I would want to transform into a bird sometimes. Being a bird has some advantages I would like to have.  As a bird, I can fly. I had a desire when I was tiny to fly like a magic fairy! I covet watching aspects of buildings and other things from above. If I were a hummingbird or a songbird, I would hang around my house and get pollen or sing songs. My dad likes hummingbirds, and my mom likes to take pictures of songbirds in the yard. I also enjoy music, so if I choose between a songbird and a hummingbird, I would prefer to be a songbird. Of course, I would also enjoy being a hummingbird. They fly super fast and can stay in the air without moving.  Birds spread seeds, and that is good for the environment. I like to be a person that helps the environment fill will green plants and trees, elegant and bright-colored flowers, and other particular sprout types. The most that I desire from birds is their feathers.  Most birds can stay cool in the summer and warm in the...

Is a week for Fall Break enough?

Image
Fall break is exciting, but some people complain that one week is too short. In my opinion, one week is just the right amount for students to relax and learn. Students need to find a balance. Nine days should be enough for students to take a vacation and to review many academics. Enjoying time with family is memorable. For example, I will be going to Napa with my mom and dad on a hot air balloon, to make pottery, and to relax as a sweet treat for myself. See? The "sweet treat" is what fall break is rewarding you. Fall break is a great time to prepare for Halloween. There will be Halloween soon, which is another fun holiday. Even though there is no break time for Halloween, you still get to have lots of fun! Last but not least, Fall break is an exciting time to experiment and learn things that you don't usually get time to do in class, like reading comic books, writing essays on creative topics, and drawing! Fall break is good enough for nine days, equal to one week and a ...

An object in my house that pays special significance to me is...

Image
The object in my home that has special significance to me is the piano. It is important to me for many reasons.  First, I like my piano because it is special and unique. It is a full 88 keys piano rather than a keyboard that has fewer than 66 keys. There is so much to explore. Its texture in sound is different than any other piano. It is extraordinary, and I nearly play it every day. Experimenting with making melodies on the piano is very fun. I like to enhance a composition of music by myself. I play around with harmonies and different sheet music.  Next, pianos are soothing, and you can practice them at all times. You could make the piano sound like a bird whispering in the forest, or you can make it sound like a massive whale in the deep of the ocean.  I remember the weekend I got this piano. We just moved to a new house and decided to get a real piano instead of the electric one we already have at home. We went to the store to pick the piano, and I carefully picked th...

My favorite place to go is...

Image
My favorite place to go is China.  First of all, all of my uncles, aunts, grandpas' and grandmas' are in China, and I also like to hang out with them, not just with my mom and dad (however, I DO love them). My cousins, aunts, grandmas' and grandpas' hover over me. I have a fun time when I am playing with them.  The second reason for China being my favorite place is the culture. I get to explore a lot in China, and China has a thick culture there are always new things to learn about the country. I personally find China fascinating. In 2019, I went to China to look at a traditional music opera called jīng jü. It was really fun and kinda hard to understand, but I got to know more about the history of China. Next, China already has the Covid vaccine and their situation is already getting better, and most people do not have to worry too much about this "Covid incident". Health is very important. Lastly, I would like to go to China because the food is awesome. I lov...

Should students have snack time?

Image
Yes! Snack time should be included in schools. There are a couple of benefits. Snack time is the best way to let them release their hunger, therefore, they can finish their homework without being hungry. Students need breaks, which is essential to move around with more energy, so eating snacks helps.  Snack time is a suitable time for connecting with friends. It is like a dinner party with food, where you get to make friends, have fun, and relax when you are stressed. At snack time, students can practice their social skills when they grow up. Social study is a considerable part of our lives, and socials studies only in the classroom are not enough. In conclusion, it is healthy to consider giving students a snack break, either at home or school, and interact with other students different from their age. ___________________________________________ No! As I know in China, there is no snack time, but I think they have their reasons.  First, if students eat their breakfast properly...

Art display!

Here are some things that I drew: Hope you guys like it!  (These are just a small portion, I will keep trying and upload whenever I am done with another drawing!) By the way, I have a comic book that I made that is almost done. I might be done next year or something, but stay tuned!

Would you rather turn into a dog or a cat?

Image
Would you rather turn into a flexible and adorable cat or a mature and handsome dog? Here are some facts and personal opinions that you can refer to when you make your decision. First of all, cats are very nimble and can jump on sofas and other obstacles relatively quickly. Being very flexible and active can turn into an advantage when other animals try to bite you. For instance, when a dog is trying to bite you, you can immediately jump on a safe surface, ensure that the dog cannot reach you, and WALA! You are safe.  Another fact is that a cat is much more graceful than a dog. Cats can lay down in the sun all day and roll on their owner's lap. But if you were a dog, you would hop in your cage. Did you know that a cat mostly lands on its feet? Even if you fall from a high surface, there is a good chance that you will land on your feet, but if you were a dog, you won't. Now... after a bit of purrr-fect facts, let us move on to the dog facts! Dogs are loyal, handsome, and brave. ...

What is my favorite candy?

Image
My favorite type of candy is Sour Patch Kids.  Let me first tell you about Sour Patch Kids. They were originally invented by Frank Galatolie in the early 1970s. In the late 1970s, Cadbury and the $meera Blyton Licorice formed a Candy Company in Hamilton, Ontario, and Canada, to produce Sour Patch Kids. The motto of Sour Patch Kids was invented in 1985. When they invented that, Sour Patch Kids hit the U.S. market, and they quickly became a success. Now I will tell you why I like this type of sour candy. First of all, Sour Patch Kids are both sour and sweet. This way, I can taste both sour and sweet! (Although I prefer sour more). This includes a part of their motto: "Sour, then sweet!" It has an excellent balance between sour and sweet. That is why I like it. Another fact about them is that they are soft and chewy. Being soft and chewy is especially helpful for eating it during a movie because you won’t make any noise with your chewing. You can enjoy a fun snack while not havi...

What is something that I would be scared to try? Why?

Image
I am afraid of any variety of insects or bugs. Insects are cool, but it is not a very wise decision if you want to meet them.  First of all, some bugs are poisonous. When bugs are venomous, they get aggressive and tend to attack. When bugs start to attack, it can cause severe damage. They can bite you hard when you touch, attack, kill, or provoke them. Some bugs might look cute, but they are very dangerous too. While some people might like the tarantula, because of its furry skin, some might not. The tarantula is venomous. Although a tarantula rarely bites, when it bites, it releases a type of venom, like a bee’s sting. When it does that, it is weak, but it is very painful.  While some bugs can only bite you a bit, others can kill you! For example, the black widow is a type of venomous insect. They can kill you when they use their venomous bite.  Bugs are quick. Crawling or running fast can come to use when people try to spot it when it does damage. People will notice the...

Things I would change to the world to make it a better place

Image
I would change elements in the world to make it a better place.  First, I would change the environment. I will stop throwing garbage in the oceans and tell people to make them into tiny crafts that can organize their desk or workplace. I would demand people to grow more trees and not just cut them. In science class, we learned about the Maui statues on Easter Island, but the Island people cut so many trees to move the statue and to cook. They do not have enough resources to eat, cook, boil, and heat their homes. That will cause the island people to die. Many  people fought for the last trees on Easter Island. I would also use less paper because our forests are being cut down very fast (just like Easter Island). We could grow trees immediately and start using small amounts of paper.  The second thing I would change is to let everybody be kind and fair. Being kind and equal can help people be more like a team or family, not enemies. If people become enemies, a war will ...

Things that I like most about my school

Image
I go to the San Mateo Foster City School District (SMFCSD). The idea that I like the most about my school is that they have a daily schedule. The students will receive a model of the daily schedules before-hand so they can prepare for the next lesson. Providing a copy of the daily schedules before-hand will be more effective since we are doing distance learning, but it will be beneficial even when we are in school. The second thing I admire about my school is that they don't assign too little homework or too much homework. They provide specifically the right amount of education every day. So the students won't be too exhausted or over entertaining. The other thing I like about SMFCSD is that the programs include fun things! Learning and play at the same time could help the students want to learn more since it is playing (but learning! (So confusing!)). For me, I enjoy doing this. Like typing.com! Typing.com has many computer typing games. But while you think you are playing gam...

The favorite thing to do with my friends...

Image
Are you excited to know what my favorite thing to do with my friends is? This article is about to tell you. The favorite thing to do with my friends is having chats (or talking; in a better way).  I like chatting because chatting can help you get a better connection with your friends. For example, chatting can help you understand more about a new friend. If you have a friend that you don't know very well yet, then you should try chatting and asking some questions to him/her. Talking/chatting is caring too. It can help other people feel much more considerable about you. For example, if the neighbor is carrying massive groceries, you could come up and chat with them while helping them lift groceries. However, your friends and yourself should be quite bored, plus chatting can help you solve the problem you have. Chatting can help you reduce the boringness you have. You could talk about games, reading, school, math, TV and other things.  Your friends can chat with you when you are...

Autumn

Image
Leaves become red and yellow as if someone painted on it. I see a tall tree with rough, hard bark. The leaves sway as the wind blow. I see unusual, red, spiky roses that I like to grow in my garden. I see birds playing, like me, playing with my friends. I hear people in the apartment, opening the garage. I also listen to the leaves that were there in the middle of summer. The autumn leaves there are falling from trees that turned yellow, orange, and red as if someone painted on the leaves on the tree. I smell Aloe, which smelled like grass that we mowed. I smell my backyard apples, refreshing as mint. I tasted my apple. They were as sweet as a piece of chocolate in the middle of Candyland. I tasted my oranges. It was refreshing as being in the fridge in the middle of the summer. I feel the rough, caramel tree bark in the front of my house. I touched the soft autumn leaves that stood in a pile on the sidewalk. I jumped in and laughed, like an otter in the ocean. I stepped on grass, shiv...

What is the best pet? (for me/I think)

Image
I think the best pet in the world should be a dog. Here are some things I think that make a dog the best pet. First of all, dogs could protect you. If you are feeling unsafe, a dog can protect you from other people. If someone or something is not being nice to you, a dog can bark or bite the person/thing. When you are bored, a dog can play with you. For example, if you want to play ball with someone, you could throw a ball to the dog and play with him/her. I often get bored, so I frequently play with my little puppy. A dog can also get trained to do things you say to do. When a dog gets good enough to do whatever you say to do, it can help you do more things than just playing and protecting you. Dogs can also help you get groceries, heavy bags, move certain items, and more. Dogs can help you find things. If you are looking for a missing jacket, let the dog sniff it out! (If the dog knows the scent) Dogs can help you find many objects. Dogs can also help the world. Instead of throwing o...

The Best Day of My Life :D (by now)

Today was the first day of school, and I was excited. I logged in to my google classroom and looked at the message the teacher sent. She sent a google slide telling about her. After I looked at the google slide, I went to the classroom.   In the first two hours of school, it was pretty fun, we got to share our feelings and thoughts. At 9:00, we had recess. At recess, we are not supposed to look at our computers, so I went to draw. At 10:30, we were back in the classroom and the teacher let us write a poem telling us about ourselves.   And here is the poem I wrote:   Where am I from? By: Anna Zhang I am from summer and watermelon all over town I am from the tropical summer From play dates and sleepovers I am from the noisy kitchen With wood tabletops and seats Steaming pots and clinging pans From Chinese food to hamburgers I am from writing to math From Unigirl77@blogspot.com I am from pencils to pens From paint and chalk   I am from my stuffed animals I am from elect...

Something I’d like to be better at

Image
Everyone has something they want to be better at, and I want to pick "Writing"~ First of all, I like writing. You could write all sorts of things, like, fiction ones, realistic ones, historical ones and realistic fiction. I like writing fiction ones and realistic fiction. In high school, writing can take up 89% of your writing grades. I also want to pick writing because writing can help you with your graduation in college & middle school. In college, writing takes up a lot of points, and the words you have to use is very difficult, so I have to learn and take classes in writing from other places. Writing can also help you get better grades. Writing is a very important subject in school. In middle school, writing can take up 58% of your writing grades. I Writing can help you when you are writing a script for a movie, play, or show. Writing a script can be important to the audience. The audience does not want you to just say a large amount of non-important things. That is h...

Things on my desk (2020)

Hi! Today, I was organizing my desk, and I got the idea of writing storytelling about the things on my desk.  I have an automatic pencil sharpener. I need an automatic one because I can not have a trash can near my desk, so I have an automatic one. (In 2021, (Now) I have a trash can near my desk, and I have truly TWO DESKS!) The second thing I have on my desk is all sorts of pens and pencils. I need pens and pencils to write and draw. I also have a huge organizer that takes up most of my desk's space. I put pens and pencils in the container/organizer, and I put erasers and stickers on top of the organizer. (2021 Now, I have much more space, and I do not have an organizer, it is my room is much cleaner!) There are some entertaining things on my desk, such as my drone, plants, and even a fidget-spinner! I need some entertaining things on my desk because I could rest a little bit if I get too tired. If I am tired and do not rest, I would be unhealthy and wake up late the nex...

Exploring the ocean

Image
Yesterday, I went to take a submarine to go underneath the water. This was my first time going underwater. I had a backpack with me with all the things I need to bring. I have my own submarine which I bought a a month ago.  I got dressed up in my exploring clothes and was ready to go in the submarine.   I had an submarine  instruction booklet with me so it could instruct me on how to control the submarine, I had a notebook and a pencil to take notes. I brought a camera to take pictures. Also,  I had a container with me so that I could put beutiful collections of the sea in it. And last but not least, some coins to play with. In case I do not know what to do, like yes or no, I could flip the coins and let the majority dicide.   I followed the instructions on the book and soon, I was in the deep section of the ocean. As I was controlling the submarine, a huge fish went past me. I was so focused on taking notes that I crashed into a angler fish! The fish was v...

Walking on the ceiling

Image
Today, I was waking up on the ceiling when I heard a "click" sound.   It all started on the weekends, I found a secret music box that had a picture of a person walking upsides down. "Wow, I wish I could walk upside down like the one in the picture", and that is how it got started. It was Monday, I started to walk to school, but when I got to the classroom, all the teachers and classmates said that I was walking on the ceiling. I examined the classroom and still did not believe that I was walking on the ceiling.   First of all, if I were walking on the ceiling, then gravity would not exist, and I would be weightless! If there is no gravity, everything will float, but my classmates said that only I was floating so it does not make sense. Second of all, if I could walk on the ceiling, what would happen to me if I were outside? Would I float into outer-space, or would I just stay the same?   But then, I realized that the music box had a picture of a person walking on th...

If I were water, I would...

Image
If I were water, I would flow in the Pacific Ocean and watch the whole world. Because of 90% of the world is filled with water, I would be every where, so I could rush to a certain place to look at something very quick. But if there are only 30 or 40% of water on Earth, I would not be able to do that.  Next, I would get purified and get put into a plastic water bottle. I will be bought and sent into homes. People will drink water, but they are going to need me for other things too, like washing, bathing and other things.  When they are bathing, I will adjust the water temperature to the temperature they are comfortable  with. Then, I would sit and wait for them to be done washing. Then , I am going to go on the beach. I will rush on the sand and roar waves at the sun / moon. If it is too hot in the summer, I will move to the ocean in other places not that hot, like migrating!  After a few years of migrating, I might feel tired, so, I will go back to t...
