Dear Diary,

   Today Ms Malyana told us to write about a time when someone told me that something impossible would happen in my life and it really happened.On recalling back the 13 and half years of my life, I remembered that there was really a time when this happened.

It happened  i was primary 3. Back then, i was young and almost believe in everything that my parents said. Then one day, dad called me and told me solemnly that I would top the class .When I heard this, I was shocked and thought that it was ridiculous as this was first time a person told me this. I often heard people told me that i would be the last in class but this time it was not the same so i choose to ignored it.

After that day,I often heard that my cousin was the first in their their class or that they won something. This might had might influence me and i began to visualise myself scored all "A" for my exam,everyone was cheering for me and it seem real', the prediction was slowly realised.

So,my impatient character act on and i wanted to acheive it faster. I started to pay attention to my work and concentrate in class, I didn't even watched the television program. I was really hardworking as the scene of me being the first in class kept appearing in my mind every time i does my work and it was like a magic allowing me to perservere.

Soon that day had come, when I really was the first in class,i very happy and felt that the prediction was incredible which is why it lead me to believe in magic . However, i soon realised that there was really no magic in the world, I can top the class is because of my effort and my mindset of what i wanted and my father told me that ,he had guess that with this impatient temper of me, i would do something about it.

In all, I think that having a good mindset is a important factor in achieving what you want., so you should have a positive mindset before you start to do a thing.

On 17th January,Ms Malyana told us the story of "Macbeth".It was a story about MacBeth being the general of the King of Scottish.When he and his soilders Banquo was on his way back after winning a battle,they met 3witches which told them that Macbeth will soon be the King of Scottish.At first,Macbeth didn't think too much of it,but after he was being promoted , he began to believe the prophecy .He then told his wife about it and his greedy wife then persuaded him to kill the king so that he will get the empire faster.So,Macbeth lose his righteouness and become full of anger,he was eager to become the king which is why he rebelled and successfully achieve what he wanted, but this did not last long...After he became the king,the 3 witches appeared again and told Macbeth that he would not be killed by a person born by a woman which lead Macbeth to become careless about his surrounding and in the end,he was still killed by a soilders as the soildier was born unaturally.
So,this taught us not to be greedy and let things take their natural course.Macbeth could have not believe the witches words and ignore the witches but instead he takes their words hardly and murdered the King. I thing that if Ms Malyana can show us a video then I would understand better.

This reflection is for the lesson last week,i remembered that it was on the 14th January.That day,we had a game,sort of a "competition"between groups.It was fun as we competed on the knowledge of William Shakespeare.Each of us was to read  the information beforehand.Then,one group had to asked another group a question and they had to answer and this continued on for about 3 rounds still the class ends.The groups which answered correctly would get 5 marks and the last round was 10 marks.There were question like "what words was crafted on the grave of William Shakespeare".Although it was difficult,but Yi ting still managed to read out some lines and their group was given the mark.Some easy question was like "what happened to the thearte that William and his troupe had built?"and most of us knew that it was being burned by a canon-shot.There was a  group which asked question that they don't even know as they want to earn more points and it made the whole class laugh .But still ,they were given another chance....
In the end it was the third group that had earned the most points and they won.Each of them was awarded a lollipop,although my group lose,but we had know more about Shakespeare and it help us in memorising the information.In a nutshell,I thought that the lesson was interesting and fruitful.

As everyone had know,William Shakespeare is the world most famous playwright.But,there were few records and artefacts exits for him.However,April 23rd was taken as his birthday as this was 3 days before his baptism(acceptance of a person into the christian church).He died on the same date in 1616 when he was 52yrs old.
Five years after Wlliam married (1587),he moved to London alone living his wife and children in Stratford.He work as a actor and gave public recitals of his own poems and he soon become famous for his playwright.When Queen Elizabeth l died in 1603,the new King James gave royal consent to shakespeare acting company to be called " The King's Men" in return for entertaining the courts and the association was to shape a number of plays eg. Macbeth to please the Scottish King.
In just 23 yrs,Shakespeare with writing and collaborating on 38 plays ,154 sonnet(love poem with 14 lines) and 5 poem.In 1599,he and his troupe also built a thearte"The Globe Thertre" and it is more famous now as it is home of Shakespeare's play,with thousand of people crammed into the small space for each performance.Shakespeare returned to Stratford in 1614 and died 2yrs later .Some of his famous work are:

• Romeo and Juliet
• Macbeth†
•  Hamlet

   

During the literature class,i learn that what is a cinquain.Cinquain is a five line poetry as the meaning of its first syllable is five in french.I knew that the first line should have a noun , the second line with 2 adjective,the third line with 3 gerund(verb),the fouth line having a short complete sensetence and lastly the last line with a synonym similar to the noun.I felt that it is easier than a normal poetry as it dosen't have to rhyme which would takes time.I had created one during the class: 
                        Teenager
                        light,active
                        running,playing,chatting
                        I am a girl
                        female
I think that although it is easier,but it is still not easy to create a nice cinquain as it require a good standard of english.I found a interesting poem on the web,its quite nice and i hope that you all like it:
                                                                                spaghetti
                                                                                messy,spicy 
                                                                                slurping,sliding,falling  
                                                                                between my plate and mouth
                                                                                delicious

So,in all i felt that cinquain is very interesting and fun and it is easy to understand what the aurthor wants to express.Maybe we should also try writing a cinquain about our partner on class and we would understand more about it and lastly i would want to know how do we write a good cinquain.
