Aom's Dream

In my dream I was studied social and the teacher was told us about the score of exam. I was very excited and then the teacher told us about the high score of exam.Yes it was me!  I'm very happy. But in my real life when this time was come it wasn't like my dream... My real score was very bad. I think I have this dream because I don't like this subject and I hope this dream won't  happen with me anymore I think when you have a good dream is mean you going to have a bad news like me! In Thailand we believe If you have a bad dream is mean you going to have a good news.

Not's Dream

    Hi! I'm "Not." I often dream and I usually also remember the dream. I will tell about my dream which I dreamed recently. My post maybe grammatically wrong or misspell. I will try to make you understand.

    In my dream, I saw characters, Donald Duck, Goofy and the boy named "Sora." Actually, they come from the video game "Kingdom Hearts." I don't know why I dreamed about them.

Donald Duck

Sora

Goofy

    We trapped in the building. It was quite dark inside, but I can still see everything around me. We decided to explore the building together.

    

    We had explored the building for a long time to find the exit. I was scared but I was also fun too, because I felt like I'm in the video game.

    

    Then, we decided to explore the toilet. After We entered the toilet, the toilet door closed and was locked. Then, Donald duck could't breathe. It seemed he can't stay at this atmosphere. His face was paler and paler and then it was blue. He fell down and looked at me. He tried to ask me for help, but he couldn't speak. Then, he stopped moving. I thought he had already died, but I wasn't sure. Then, he was pulled to the black hole on the toilet floor and disappeared immediately.

    

    I was shocked! I didn't know what should I do. Goofy and Sora were shocked too. Suddenly, I couldn't breathe and I couldn't also speak too. I thought I will be like Donald, but It's a little different. I was pulled to the black hole on the toilet floor, but I didn't fell into the black hole, but I floated in the center of the black hole. and my body was parallel to the floor. I tried to ask Goofy and Sora for help, but I couldn't speak. I hoped Goofy and Sora will help me, but they won't. I tried every way to get out of the black hole, but it didn't work. I thought I will fall into the black hole soon. At last, I woke up.

    

    I think I dreamed like this because I was tired and I slept late because I couldn't move or do anything when I floated in the center of the black hole. It seemed I'm in "Sleep paralysis" in my dream. It may remind me to sleep earlier, otherwise I won't live happily, I think.

Champ's Dream

          In my dream, I was alone in the dark, I got a torch, I was chasing around school by the skeleton that holds a big watermelon. 

          I dreamed about it because I played the game(Minecraft) too much. In the game, the skeleton was chasing Steve(the character) and it shot an arrow at him, and I liked to grow watermelons very much. 

          Three days later, the teacher told me to have a Physical Fitness Test by ran 4 round around the field. 

        I think my dream try to tell me about the future, that's why my dream ends up like this. But I hope I'll dream about the lotteries and I'll win the prize. LOL

...The End...

QOTW: Time

Hello, students!

This week's question of the week is all about the topic of time, which we're looking at in Unit 5A. 

The question is: "If you had the power to stop time, what would you do? Would you use your power to do good, or for evil? Why?"

BK's Dream

          In one year, I usually dream about 2 times and every time I dream I never remember it. So, in this post, I will write about my daydream instead!

          Normally, when I don't have anything to do. I just sit down, listen to music, chill and think about stuff. Most of the time I like to think about me being the main character in all sorts of video games. There was one time that I think about being 'Captain John Soap Mactavish' from the famous "Call of duty: Modern Warfare series." I was running and dropping bodies left and right with my trusty M4A1, Shooting down tanks and APCs with  M129 helicopter-mounted grenade launcher, Detonating nuclear warheads that target my homeland mid-air, Rescuing 'Nikolai', a Russian informant that works for the S.A.S from getting killed while wearing night vision goggles.

           Daydreaming like this is fun, it feels awesome. You get to be someone interesting in a mind-blowing stories. And you also get to get rid of stress this way :)

Rescuing Nikolai

Philip's Dream

To be honest, I usually forget my dreams almost as soon as I wake up. But there is one dream that I keep having again and again...

In my dream, I'm driving a car alone at night time. I think I'm in Chiang Mai. At first, everything seems normal. But soon, the car starts to have a mind of its own- it speeds up even when I hit the brakes, and I can't steer it. I crash into cars parked by the side of the road, and soon the police are chasing me. But it's not my fault- I can't control the car!

I think I have this dream because I don't like driving cars. I love riding my motorbike, but I've always had a bit of a phobia about driving cars. I think this dream is just my brain dealing with my fear of driving. I hope that it's not a sign of something that will happen in the future!

QOTW: Dreams

Hello students!

This week, we're exploring the topic of dreams.

The question of the week is: "Do you believe that dreams can tell us about our real lives? Why, or why not?"

Optimist, Pessimist...or Realist?

Hello, students! This week, we are looking at the topic of optimism and pessimism. Here are some definitions of the words:

Take this short Buzzfeed quiz and find out if you are an optimist or pessimist.

Some people add a third category: realist. Here is the definition of the word realist:

 Now, I'd like you to take this quiz and find out if you are an optimist, pessimist, or realist.

QOTW: Optimist or Pessimist

Greetings, students!

This week's question of the week is based on the topic from Unit 6A of the textbook.

"Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Why? Give an example of why you think you are an optimistic/pessimistic person."

Question of the Week: Your Holiday

Welcome back to school, students!

This week, I'd like you to tell me about what you did over the October break. Did you go anywhere, or stay at home? What did you do? Who were you with? What did you like/dislike most about what you did?

Remember to give your answers in the past tense!

I'd like everybody to talk for 30-60 seconds, so make sure you think carefully about what you're going to say...

Semester 1 Finals: Supplemental

Hello, students! Today we are going to look at the supplemental exam, which will be about the Frankenstein reader. The supplemental exam will be on Tuesday, 4th October at 11:00 am. Remember to bring your book!

There are four parts to the exam:

• Vocabulary (30 points)
• Characters (30 points)
• Plot (30 points)
• Themes (10 points)

Writing

As well as matching/multiple choice questions, there are questions where you need to write some sentences for your answer. For example:

"Who is the most innocent victim in Frankenstein? Why?" (5 points)

Remember, if the question asks you to write why you think something, you need to give a full answer!

Themes

For the "themes" questions, you'll be given a pair of themes and have to write a paragraph to say how they appear in the reader. For example, if you choose "Love and Hate", you could write about:

• Victor's loving childhood
• Victor and Elizabeth's love for each other
• The fact that Victor didn't love the monster
• How the monster wanted a 'wife' to love him
• Felix and Sophie's relationship
• How the monster and Victor hate each other
• How society hates the monster

You could give quotes and examples to support your argument:

'The monster feels rejected by Victor, and that Victor's failure to love him has made him miserable. For example, on page 20 the monster says: "Why did you create me if you were not ready to love me?". This shows that the monster thinks that Victor is to blame for his own evil actions.'

Revision

To help you prepare for the test, you could look at the M4 SEEK chapter summary cartoons here, look at your practice test, or re-read Frankenstein.

Good luck!

Semester 1 Finals: Core Exam

Hello, students! These are the topics for the final core exam.

• Parts of an airport

• Going to for the future

• Present perfect + yet, just, already (Have you done you your homework yet? Yes, I've just finished)
• Present perfect or past simple? (I've been to China once/I went to China last year)
• Something, anything, nothing
• Parts of a paragraph
• Good and bad topic sentences
• Paragraph writing (15 points) 

There are also some longer writing questions, worth about 5 points each. Try to write in sentences. You don't have to write a paragraph, but you could get more points if you do!
