This story is mainly distributed into 3 sections, the first section is about the relationship between David and his uncle, and why David was kidnapped, the second section is about how David meets Alan, and the last section is about the Journey that David and Alan took to return to David’s country.
This book is an adventurous book which talks about the journey of 12 years old boy, David Balfour. The story start with when David’s father has died, he has to stay in his uncle’s house. However, his uncle dislikes him and sent David to Hoseason, to kidnapped David and sent him away. One day, David has helped a man called Alan from being murdered, and David and Alan has robbed the ship and drove ashore. Then they continue their journey of returning to David’s homeland.
When on the journey, David's health rapidly deteriorates, and David even angry of Alan as Alan loses all of their money playing cards with Cluny, and their journey became worse. But they recover sometimes later. In the end of the story, Alan has helped David to get two-thirds of the estate's income of his father left for as long as his wicked uncle survived. The novel ends with David and Alan parting ways, Alan going to France, and David going to a bank to settle his money.

Book review #3

During the holidays, I have read a book named as '20000 thousand leagues under the sea’; this book is written by Jules Verne, an adventure story writer.

This story is mainly distributed into 3 sections, the first section is about how professor Aronnex, his manservant, Conseil and Ned Land land on the Nautilus, and how they met captain Nemo, the second section is about the exciting adventurous that they have done during the journey. The last section is about how the three people escaped from the Nautilus.

This book is a science fiction book which talks about the thought of the ‘submarine’ that hasn’t been investigated on that time. The story opens in the year 1866. Everyone in Europe and America is talking about a mysterious creature that has been sinking ships. Finally, the United States government decides to send out a ship named as “Abraham Lincoln” to capture and identify the creature. On board the ship are Professor Aronnax, his manservant, Conseil, and Ned Land, the king of harpooners. The Abraham Lincoln is attacked by the creature sometimes later. Aronnax, Conseil and Land go overboard.

The three men then find themselves on top of the mysterious creature, which is actually a submarine vessel, the Nautilus. They are taken on board and placed in a cell. Then they meet Captain Nemo, the commander of the vessel. He tells them they can stay on board the ship and enjoy freedom as long as they return to the cell if asked. They are never to leave the vessel again. Ned Land says he will not promise that he will not try to escape. Captain Nemo treats the men very well, especially Aronnex. The three people have their freedom to wander around the vessel at their leisure. During the board, Aronnex has write down what he has observed during the journey.
During their time on the Nautilus, the men experience exciting adventures. They hunt in underwater forests, visit an island with angry natives, visit the lost city of Atlantis, and fish for giant pearls. One night, while off the coast of Norway, Aronnax, Conseil and Land plan an escape as they realize they are heading toward a giant whirlpool—one that no ship has ever survived. Amazingly, in only a small dinghy they emerge safely. They awake in the hut of a fisherman. In the end of the story, Aronnax is awaiting his return to France and write down his memories of the journey that with Captain Nemo.
I really enjoy reading this book as this novel is filled with excitement, and I enjoy reading adventure stories.

Zili and Chilli
By Lim Yuet Tung

Lonely curly chilli,
Horribly, terribly ugly,
Only Silly Zili,
Suddenly, stupidly, blindly......

eat it.


Curly chilli in Zili's belly,
Happily, playfully, crazily, cruelly,
Zili’s belly's horribly painfully,
Sadly, Zili's belly,
Crazily, hotly, chilli!



This poem tells us that do not randomly eat chilli!

I have attemp to write a poem based on the thought and my feeling about my schooldays. I know there will sure have many mistakes so please feel free to make comments and remind me~ thanks.

School,
Is a place we make friend,
Or enemy,
Is where we have fun,
Or get bored.

School,
Is a heaven,
Is a prison,
Is where we scare,
Is where we love.

School,
Like an animal farm,
There are squirrel,
There are pig.

School,
Is where we lost our kidnesses,
And where we became mature,
Is where we lost our creativity,
And where we became logic.

School,
Is where we learn new things,
Is where motivate our live,
Is where we could never forget,
Is where we love.
