** The Sounds of Me ** by   Ping Jing, period B2

I cried when I saw unfamiliar people, But I laughed when my brother was as funny as comedian. I felt exhausted when I was made to play the violin, But I felt energetic when I played with my fun toys. I got angry when my brother taunted me, But I felt content when I got praised and admired like a hero. I was afraid of being scolded, But I was not afraid of hideous insects.
 * Yesterday… **

I cry when I get discouraged, But I laugh hysterically when people make funny jokes. I feel exhausted when I do hard boring homework, But I feel energetic when I write my interesting tales. I get angry when people accuse me of something I have not done, But I feel content when I support someone. I am afraid of bugly-boogly bugs, But I am not afraid of hard labor.
 * Today… **

I will cry at my regrets, But I will laugh amusingly about the mistakes I have made. I will feel exhausted when people come to me for the same problems, But I will feel energetic when I do charity work. I will feel angry because people do not respect me, But I will feel content when I teach someone. I will be afraid of loneliness, But I will not be afraid of death.
 * Tomorrow… **

Tanka A rich millionaire is my dream for the future. An opulent house, a huge crimson Ferrari, and a pleasurable life.

My dream is to be... a cunning crafty spy looking out for foes, for fingerprints and drama secretive, stealthy and sly.

“9 year old girls to the starting line!”

“Timers, are you ready, get set......

“GO” Plunged in deep cold pool.

Loved to sink down and swim

I turned left and right.

So far so good.

Tapped wall,

pride rose,

Epitaph

I was as honest as Abe Lincoln,

had gazillions of money,

had an humongous house,

but I kicked my own bucket sadly

I lost a whole fortune

In a business full of gambling

Owed a big debt

And could not repay

My lost caused me depression

And I thought I was a lost-faced loser

Killed myself on a ship

But my wife came to my rescue

I was sent to a hospital

But never recovered

I died on November 11th.

CLERIHEW

Ping Rui, my horrid hateful brother,

Is a flea not to bother

He pushes me down the stairs

and pulls on my hairs.

Mr. Cooper, an amazing awesome teacher,

is a stupefying creature.

He teaches with pleasure,

But is short in measure.

Freak the Mighty is a book, that is about two boys: Freak and Max. They become very good friends and they help each other. We were suppose to make a small project showing the important themes of this book. My project shows that when you help someone, you will get good rewards. Please enjoy!

In class, I wrote a persuasive essay on a controversial topic. My topic is on Corporal Punishment. Please read:

Stop Corporal Punishment Have you ever been spanked before? Have you ever felt anxiety, despair, the urge of aggressiveness? Corporal punishment should be banned because it can lead to many mental problems, children could get scars that last their whole life, and they can get into conflicts with their parents. Corporal punishment can lead to many mental problems. Children that receive corporal punishment can become dimwitted. According to the statistics, children who were spanked between the age of 3 ~ 5 were more likely to do worse on their vocabulary and language comprehension tests than children who were not spanked. There is also a likeliness that the children will feel like dropping out of school, and they will feel a need of alcohol. According to Murray Straus, who is a professor of the University of New Hampshire, children who got physical pain from their parents had their IQ dropped around 5 points each time. Researchers also found out that 2% ~ 7% of all mental disorders had something to do with corporal punishment. Corporal punishment does not teach children why their actions are wrong; it can also lead to severe mental deficiency. Other than mental problems, the effects of corporal punishment in children can linger. During the children’s teen years, they get surges of anxiety, and they want to drop out of school. In their adulthood, the kids that were hit have a greater risk of having anti-social problems. Corporal punishment makes the children easily frustrated, and they tend to think that everything can be solved with aggressiveness. Therefore, they easily get into fights, and they get into the habit of bringing physical pain to their own children. A study by Straus even showed that kids that received corporal punishment are 3 times more likely to abuse their own children. Corporal punishments can give the children bad habits that cannot change when they grow up. Also, from the cause of corporal punishment, children can get into problems with their parents. The children will start to fear their own parents, and this will cause problems when they receive advice from their parents. Once, there was a story of a mother who spanked her toddler. The little toddler boy became scared of her, and never wanted to make eye contact with her. He was always silent when she was there, and he preferred to stay in his room and play by himself, but once she found out, it was too late for her. Already, her child was lost. Corporal punishment can make the children lose their own family, and they would never gain happiness. So, for the sake of the children, corporal punishment must cease. Some people say, that corporal punishment will make children stop what their doing wrong, but it does not teach them why it is wrong. On top of that, it does great harm to children. Giving them greater risks of mental problems, and leading to an everlasting scar in their hearts. So, the next time you start to beat a child, think into the future of what could possibly happen.
