Guess Speaker Report

   Last Thursday, my class has a guest speaker-Mr.John Golden. He told us about his trip to Bangladesh. He love Bangladesh because it was so green. First time in my whole life, i had never heard the word "Peace Corp", do you know what is means, Peace Corp is an American volunteer program by the United States Government. He lived there for 20 months but in October 15 20008, the twin tower was collapsed so he didn't finish the trip for next 17 months.
   In Bangladesh, people said Bangla. Woman wore a sari and the clothes he wore in Halloween called lurigi. When he was still in Bangladesh, he has a sister named Shagkuti. He let us look at the picture that she was in childhood and the picture that he was just caught last summer. She was sitting in front of the ponds. Mr.Golden said that, in Bangladesh, ponds were everywhere because the people always went there to take a bath, or do other thing. At night, he has to use the mosquito net because  and in the morning, he had to hang it up, he had to use like that every day. And he had to walk about 100m from his room to the water place every morning to take a bath. So the students or other teacher there thought that he didn't take a bath for 3 years. Hahahaha, so funny right!!!
   He was a teacher in Bangladesh. He taught grade 3,4 and 5. He taught about 80 students in one class. He taught English for the students and teacher who will teach other students in English. I remember one of his two favorite students only went to school two days in a week, three other days she had to go help her mom in the farm. Oh and in Bangladesh, the parents think that if in a family there are a lots of kids so there will be more people to work and find money(even though they were taught not to have many children but they seem like they didn't care or they didn't learn or heard about it.)but that is definitely wrong. Because they borned too many kids, there will not enough money for all members.
     
   Before i met Mr John Golden, i used to ask my mom about Muslim and she said that those people are not good and other negative comments. But when through this story about Mr.Golden, i didn't think those negative comments about Muslim any more. Because Mr.Golden told me that those people there were really friendly, nice, happy and hospitable. He remembered that, every day, he always went around the city, and when he passed any food store, the people there was like invited him to eat with them. If that day, he didn't have enough money to eat, he will sit with them but if that day, he has enough money, he won't and he said thank you to them. Those guy who invited him to sit with them were poor but they didn't care about it because they like guest(I think so.).
   In the end of the talking, Truong asked Mr.Golden about how does he think about Muslim, does he think they are terrorist and he answered us that he doesn't think so because the people there was so nice, they were wonderful and i also agree with him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Children's Right

The rule that makes me think of the children's rights when i read the story "Carpet boy's gift" was "Every children should have time to play and rest". I think that rule is really important and suitable for us and the boy.(sorry, i don't know how to spell his name:] ) Because, you see, the boy in the story have to work a lot and he even don't have time to rest or play like us. And i think that, not only him is the one who was treated badly, there are many children out there are just like him, too. They are forced to do all the hard work that children doesn't have to do. Instead of do all that hard work that the boy in the story doesn't have to do, he can be educated by someone and enjoy freedom.

Soundtrack of my life

My Favorite Song

i  just can’t sleep tonight

knowing the things ain’t right

it’s in the papers, it’s on the tv

it’s everywhere that i go

children are crying

soldiers are dying

some people don’t have a home

I know there's sunshine beyond that rain,

I know there's good times beyond that pain

Heaven, tell me I can make a change

i close my eyes, and i can see a better day

i close my eyes, and pray

i close my eyes and i could see a better day

i close my eyes, and pray

i lose my appetite

no way could start tonight

And when i sit up

cause of my dinner still laying on my plate

oohh i got a vision, to make a difference

and i start it today

cause i know there’s sunshine behind that rain

i know there’s good times behind that pain

can you tell me how i can make a change?

i close my eyes, and i can see a better day

i close my eyes, and pray

i close my eyes and i could see a better day

i close my eyes, and ..

i pray for the broken hearted

i pray for the life not started

i pray for all the ones not breathing

i pray for all the souls that need it

i pray, can you give ‘em one a day

i just can’t sleep tonight

can someone tell me how to make a change

i close my eyes, and i can see a better day

i close my eyes, and pray
.........ooooooo.........

i close my eyes and i could see a better day

i close my eyes, and, i pray….

i pray....i pray....i close my eyes....and....pray.... 

   My favorite song is "Pray" by Justin Bieber. I like this song not because i LIKE him or i'm HIS FAN, but because he wishes the poor and the handicapped to have a better life and i agree with him.            
   When i listen to this song, it makes me think about a lot of poor people that don't have a happy life like us. Everyday, they have to find much money as much as they can to buy some food or the handicapped, everyday in the hospital, they always wish that someday, they will be normal like us, they can walk, they can talk or they can do anything they like. I'm really sympathetic for those people who are in the poor situation.

"Madam and the Rent man" Answer!!!

1.    At first, they seem to disagree through out the poem. But in the last line the composer said "So we agrees!" because they both have the same felling-poor and lived in a poor apartment.
2.    I think the message in this poem is to express sympathy for other person's situation and help them if you can.
3.    In this story, i think the author's use of playful language and dialogue that make the tone more angry in the poem are words and punctuation.

"Madam and the rent man"

   When i read the poem "Madam and the rent man" by Langston Hughes, i saw three images.

• The first one was the woman was yelling at the man.
• Second was the man was complaining about the sink is broken, the water don't run and he haven't done a thing that he promised to done.
• And the last one was the man and the women lived in the poor apartment-the back window's cracked, kitchen floor squeaks, there's rats in the cellar, and the attic leaks.
