Mind Map about Bullying



This mind map explains who are involved in a situation of bullying, where bullying happens, how to stop the bullying, why bullying happens and types of bullying. I hope this mind map helps bullying stop because I think bullying is cruel and mean and nobody should have the right to hurt someone physically or mentally.

My thoughts about the 12-year old boy who protested to ban child labour


Iqbal Masih is a 12-year old boy who tried to stop child labour. He was murdered on Tuesday on the 18th of April. All he was trying to do was stop the owners of carpet-weaving factories from hiring children. His protests lead dozens of factories in Pakistan to close. His family had borrowed money from the owner at severe interest rates, he was still 13,000 rupees ($189.35) in debt. When I heard that Iqbal worked in a carpet weaving factory and was earning 1 rupee per day, I was shocked that anybody could allow a young boy to work as a slave to weave carpets everyday in a small, cramped, dirty room with lots of other children. I never knew that people were so mean to kids. I wish I could help them by visiting them and give them money and support them. Iqbal was poor to die because he tried to ban child labour. People should read about this article and support these children. Let's support the needy people around the world!

A person whom I admire


A person whom I admire is Helen Keller. One of the reason why I admire her is because even though she was blind and death and had a difficult life, she never gave up. She also went to university and graduated, learnt sign language and braille and eventually was taught how to speak. I sometimes give up on doing risks and challenging myself but when I read a biography about Helen Keller, I started to do more risks and stood up for myself. When I first read about Helen Keller, I thought, ' How could she live in a quiet, dark place without seeing or hearing her parents?'. I was surprised by how she would never gave up and kept going, even though it took a while to get settled. Thanks to Helen Keller, I tried to take more risks and never gave up.

Being critical with headlines

In this writing, I am going to share my opinion about this headline, '132 Super-Cute Outfit Ideas from Kendall and Kylie Jenner'. I'm not sure who is Kendall and Kylie Jenner but I think this article wants us to follow their stylish ideas and make us look super cute. If I read this article, I think there is going to be lots of pictures of ladies in clothing that matches their style.

The Proudest Moment of My Life

Pymble Ladies' College
         The proudest moment in my life was when I got an A for english in my Grade 3 school reports in my old school, Pymble Ladies' College. In my grade, there were only a few people who got an A for english. In the grade, I was one the few girls that were born somewhere different than Australia, where the school was built. So I was proud that I was sort of better than other kids in Grade 3 (I'm not boasting, but it just makes me feel so honoured). At the age of 4, I learnt how to use very simple sentences such as 'Pig in a Wig' or 'I need to go to toilet'. I had lots of stress while learning english and also my native language, Korean. When I was Grade 2, my grades suddenly went up, my reading level books were harder and my writing transformed into messy cursive. I was proud also when I finished my multiplication test first and even took a multiplication graduation picture. The A made me really proud and get confidence that I am going to get good grades in english.

What movie character best represents me?

Anna, princess of Arendelle
    A movie character that best represents me is Anna, princess of Arendelle. Anna and I have a lot in common.
    First, she is a girl, the same gender as me. Also, she and I have a sibling and a loving family. Third, she tries to be happy and positive and most of the time I am very positive about myself. Fourth, I am responsible for packing my bag, putting the plates away, doing my homework, practising violin and lots more. Anna is determine to persuade her sister Elsa back to Arendelle and that is her big responsibility. Last but not least, Anna and I are brave and are risk-takers. She went on a daring mission to find her sister and I was brave to do things that were challenging for me ; climbing mountains, giving speeches and presentations, etc.
