Lamb to the Slaughter

Greetings,

Lamb to the Slaughter is a short story. It is quite an interesting story.

One day, Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband, Patrick Maloney, in her house as usual. She was pregnant. Patrick Maloney came into the house. He acted very strangely that day. He was unusually cold to Mary Maloney. Then, he told Mary Maloney about something. The short story never specified what he actually said.Upon hearing that, Mary Maloney was very shocked.

Mary Maloney insisted upon preparing supper and went to the kitchen to take out a piece of frozen lamb. Holding the frozen lamb in her hands, she passed the living room, where Patrick Maloney was at that time. He refused Mary Maloney's offer to prepare supper for him and told her that he intend to go out. Without pause, Mary Maloney approached Patrick Maloney and hit the piece of frozen lamb onto his head hard. Patrick Maloney collapsed to the ground, dead.

Mary Maloney did not want to be caught by the police of the crime. Her once blurry thoughts had become very clear. She was trying to get away with this crime from the police. She decided to go to the grocery store. She went to practice in front of the miror before going to grocery store so she would not look suspicious. She bought some groceries and came back to the house. When she came back to the house and saw Patrick Maloney lying on the floor, she pretended to be shocked.

Mary Maloney then report the case to the police. The police arrived at her house not long after. Mary Maloney acted very naturally to the police. She was able to talk to the police with ease and was a most gracious host. The police was trying to find the murder weapon. Mary Maloney hatched out a very clever plan to conceal the murder weapon. She invited the unsuspecting police to consume the murder weapon which was cooking in the oven. The police ate it up and Mary Maloney got away with the crime.

What do you feel after reading the story? I hope you will give comments. I think that Mary Maloney is very calculating person and should be punished to the full extent of the law.

The Inkheart Triology and The Eragon Inheritance Cycle

Greetings,

I would like to introduce you another two series of books-the Inkheart Triology ( by Cornelia Funke ), which comprises the three books Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath, and the Eragon Inheritance Cycle ( by Christopher Paolini ), which comprises the three books Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr. There are now currently only three books in the Eragon Inheritance Cycle. The fourth and concluding book will be published soon.

The Inkheart Triology is an internationally bestselling triology. Inkheart has been made into a film, and is a stunning motion picture. One of the main characters in the story is Meggie and Mo, Meggie's father. Unlike most fathers, Mo never reads aloud to Meggie. Meggie's mother had also mysteriously disappeared. When a Dustfinger came to their house, Mo is forced to tell Meggie his long kept secret-when he reads aloud, words will come alive. Because of this, he is called Silvertongue. Meggie was told that her mother had disappeared into a storybook named Inkheart. Mo and Meggie then began their adventure to find Meggie's mother.

The Eragon Inheritance Cycle is about a boy named Eragon. Eragon was a normal boy living with his uncle and cousin. His life changed drastically when he found a stone in the Spine. Eragon thought that it was just a stone, but in actual fact it is an dragon egg. The dragon egg hatched out into a baby dragon, so Eragon secretly raised the dragon up. Unfortunately, his uncle was killed by two weird creatures. To have his revenge, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, began a adventure with Brom to track down the two strange creatures.

I strongly recommend you to read these books, if you have not already.

Examinations and tests

Greetings,

For the past two weeks, I have been having tests in my school for my different subjects, for example English, Mathematics, Science etc. I still have one Mathematics 2 test in the following Tuesday.

Examinations and tests can be a nightmare for students who do not revise for their examinations or students who are having a hard time catching up with the syllabus in his or her school. However, it can also be a delighted event for those who have prepared well for their tests and examinations and those who are good in their academics.

How do we prepare well for tests and examinations? Mediocre students do not do well in their tests and examinations mostly because they do not prepare for their examinations and tests. Here are some tips on how to prepare well for an examination or a test:

• Prepare at least 3 weeks before the examination or test. If you prepare your test at the last minute, you might get panicked and rush through the examination or test chapters. Thus, you won't be able to remember the important points for the test or examination.
• Sleep early before the night of the examination or test. Sufficient rest helps you to concentrate in your test or examination.
• It would be advisable to revise everyday, even if there is not going to be an examination or test for a while. This will reduce the things you will need to revise for the examination or test.
• Do not restrict yourself on just reading your school's textbooks and workbooks. Your knowledge will be restricted. Read books outside curriculum. It will raise your vocalbulary and general knowledge. This will come in very handy during your examinations or tests.

Other than preparing well for the examinations and tests, there are also a few techniques you can use when doing your test or examination papers:

• Answer all the questions in the paper. Simply guess the answer if you do not know the answer. You might get the question you are unsure of correct. This is better than leaving the answer blank, which will certainly be wrong.
• Be calm when you are doing your paper. Do not panic. You might make some careless mistakes.
• If you encountered a question which answer you are unsure of in the middle of your test or examination, circle the question and skip it to do the other questions. Return back to that question after you have finish all the other questions. This will save time.
• Be honest. Never cheat in your test or examination. You will get a lot of marks deducted if you are caught.

I hope that after reading this posting, all of you will benefited from it.

The Twilight Saga:

The Harry Potter Series

Greetings,

I believe most of us are familiar with the Harry Potter Series, written by J.K.Rowling. Like most, I am a fan of Harry Potter. This is what the book is about:

There was a boy who survived Voldemort's spell-Harry Potter. Voldemort was a feared wizard in the wizarding community and had murdered countless people together with his followers. Harry Potter's parents were killed when Voldemort came to Harry's house with the motive to kill Harry. Of course, Voldemort mysteriously failed to kill Harry.

After the tragic incident, Harry was sent to his aunt's family. Harry lived there without the knowledge that he was very famous and that he was a wizard.
When he was 11 years old, Harry was informed by Hagrid that he was accepted into Hogwarts, a famous wizarding school. He went to Hogwarts and and found out his true identity.

I will stop here. For those who have not read Harry Potter, I strongly encourage you to read it.

Dear viewers,
Hello. This is my first time blogging. I hope you will enjoy reading my blog.Let me introduce myself. I am a scholar who won a scholarship to study in Hwa Chong Institution as a secondary one student. I will always be grateful as I am given a chance to study in a famous high school. I have an interest in reading. Sometimes I am so indulgent in my reading that it is hard for me to stop reading. Nowadays I am quite busy as I am given a lot of homework and assignments. I think that's enough about myself. Thank you.
