Reading Assignment: Finish The Hundred Penny Box

 

Writing Assignment: Memories mean a lot to Aunt Dew, one of the key figures in The Hundred Penny Box. She is one hundred years old, so she has a lot of memories. I doubt you have so many. But could you write about one memory from your past that you think you will never forget. Begin by describing the events you remember. Then explain why you think you won't ever forget this memory, and last, tell readers what you learned from it.  As you can see, I have tried to break the assignment down into three parts. Please try to cover all three parts of the assignment.

 

Be prepared, too, to review the phrasal verbs we covered in the 10/30 class. Great class today!

When I am five years old, my parents take me to a park. The park is so big; it has a huge grass, a play ground and a lake. I always like to boat in the lake with my parents, flying kites on the grass and playing in the play ground. But one time, when I climb up the slide, I put my head out and shout:”Mom can you see me? I am really high!”but I put my head out too much, I fall down on my head down at once, I am cry loud. My mom run behind me at once and look after me. This matter make me learn don’t put your head out the high thing, you maybe fall down. 

    I had an excting experience five months ago. On a weekend in Canada, my good friend, Braydon Bartlett, he teached me to drive a dirt bike! At seven o'clock in the morning, he woke me up. Then, we went to the garage and unlock it and drove the dirt bike out of the garage. After he showed me where are the accelerator, brake, clutch, gears and showed me how to drive it, he let me drive the dirt bike a lap. I drove the bike very carefully, carefully like walk on a tightrope. When I can drive the dirt bike well, Braydon teached me when I drive the dirt bike faster, how to shift gears and drive it faster. When I have learned how to drive the dirt bike, we drive into the hill and woods. We had a good time.

Very nice Mark. I can imagine that you had a wonderful time. I would have liked to hear more, though, about what made it so memorable. Was it the speed of the bike?. Or maybe you just like learning new things? I very much like your simile:like walking on a tightrope. I am impressed that you could spell the different parts of the bike.

    When I have learned how to drive the dirt bike, we drive into the hill and woods. The bike was fast like wind. When I drive it fast, I felt like I am going to fly. That is awesome! We went back home in the afternoon. We had a good time. 

    This experience makes me never forget it, I hope I can have a chance to drive the dirt bike again.

@Mark,

 

Yes, that's precisely what I meant. Now  I understand exactly why the experience was  so memorable. Those were the perfect details to add, that the bike was "fast like the wind" and it made you feel as if you could fly.  Thank you for revising (re-doing) the end to better fit the assignment.  Excellent job!   Laraine
