One of the biggest learning experiences I have ever had was not taking someone for granted. When you depend on that someone in everyway possible and your world was surrounded by them your entire life‚ the old cliché’ “Here today‚ Gone tomorrow” becomes a reality in a split second. On January 8‚ 2008‚ I left for work at 5:30 am with coffee in hand and my backpack strapped tight ready to start my busy day. (I was a driver for DHL). I said my goodbyes and I love you’s to my parents as I walked out

destination brings no joy either because usually there is no place to park. So when we go to town‚ we go in pairs‚ one to drive and the other to get down to do whatever is necessary. Otherwise we stay home and avoid the irritation. The second most irritating thing is inconsiderate people. Examples are people who throw rubbish on sidewalks‚ roads and out of moving cars.

I have ever watched a lot of films‚ but the most interesting film‚ in my opinion‚ is Titanic. I watched it when I was 13 years old. Titanic is believed to be the most interesting film for two reasons. Firstly‚ it’s a real story which was then narrated by a shipwreck victim in 1912 though the film was released many years later‚ in 1997. The film is about a young couple. The main male character is a poor artist‚ and the main female character is a noble lady born in a rich family. She was engaged

Question 3 what reading have you enjoyed most in the past year and why? The reading I have enjoyed the most in the past year is ‘To kill a mocking bird’ by Harper Lee. The story’s main theme is about racial discrimination and gender inequality. It used a child’s point of view to tell the story so I can throw myself into the main character Scout. Thanks to her naivety‚ the injustice and the hypocrisy of Maycomb folks are enhanced. The most exciting part of the story is the fight in the court. Scout’s
