Story of bullying - amended by Phyllis

Andrew Johnston is my best friend. But a student in my class did not like him. He always bullied him -- hit him, scolded him, made fun of him, so he was very unhappy. He always cried in class, so the bully disliked him more.

The bully had many bad friends. One day, when Andrew and I went to school together, the bully and his bad friends saw us and said, “Who is the best singer in our class? Andrew Johnston, but he is a girl!” I shouted angrily, “Someone is not good at singing. He is a bully and a bad student in our class!” The bully hit me and Andrew. I wanted to hit him, but Andrew said softly, “No, we cannot win him in fighting!”

After a few days, Andrew entered a competition. It was called “Britain’s Got Talent”. I wanted him to win the competition. But the bully said cunningly, “You cannot win. You are the worst singer in our school!”

Andrew was sad but he did not give up. He went to the competition and sang “Pie Jesu”. Everyone cried for him and I cried too. I wanted him to win the competition. Although he lost at the end, he was happier than before.

Although the bully did not like him, he said, “You are the best singer in our school, sorry, can you forgive me?”Andrew was happy and said, “ Yes, of course!”

This is the road which can change his life. I think he can be the best singer when he grows up.

Although I am not his best friend, I want him to have more than one friends to play with him, sing with him...

Andrew, you will be the best singer. When you grow up, I will buy your records.

Andrew Johnston

Andrew Johnston is my best friend. But the student in my class who did not like him. He always bully to Andrew Johnston. Such as fright him, dress down him, to embarrass him, so he was very unhappy. He always cried in the lesson, so the bullies more unlike him.

Part II THE FUTURE - amended by Phyllis

The car moved quickly and quickly. The picture was beautiful and had some beautiful flowers, trees and rivers in it. I was very tired and slept for about one day.

“What is happening, car?” I asked. The car said, “We are in the future!” Suddenly, a man called Tommy asked, “Have you seen a picture? It is beautiful with some beautiful flowers and rivers!” A robot said, “It is the picture in his hand!” I ran and ran quickly because I thought they were thieves wanting to get my picture. I saw many robots and people on the street, and they were shopping there.

When I tried to find my home, it was no longer there. I saw a school called All-knowing School. Afterwards, I sat on the chair and drank some water.

I saw that everyone had a robot and they together were shopping, playing, reading and sitting in high-tech cars.

Suddenly, I saw a newspaper on the ground which wrote that a boy would bring a picture from 2009. I saw Tommy again and gave the picture to him. I said, “Sorry! I didn’t know you are Emperor Qin’s descendant!” Tommy got the picture and gave a stamp to me as a gift and said, “It is from my mother!”

The car shouted, “We need to go back home, it is midnight in the present!”

I said, “Bye-bye, Tommy!” and went to the car quickly.

We were late to the wedding. But we could see them kiss, exchange rings and drink tea. Then, I played NDs for about one hour because my cousin wanted me to help her with the ‘Super Mario’ game. She was not good at it.

At 7pm, there was a lot of delicious food. There were crispy chicken, prawn and scallop, shark’s fin, fish, etc. My uncle drank a lot of wine and beer too. After we had dinner, we took photos with the bride and groom. When many relatives went back home, my cousin needed to get the bill. My uncle shouted at the manager, “This dinner wasn’t good, the fish was small and there were only two prawns for each table! No need to pay you $317,900!” And he swore at the manager. Suddenly, the groom’s mother shouted to the bride, “Why did you choose this place? You are not good!” So the bride cried.

Why did they need to quarrel? Why couldn’t the bride marry happily?

The Adventures of Catherine - amended by Phyllis

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Catherine. She was a bad girl and everyone disliked her, so she did not have any friends.

One day, when she went to school, she saw a blind woman crossing a road. Catherine kicked the woman and the woman was hurt. The blind woman was angry and shouted, “Do you know who I am?” “I think you are a blind idiot!” Catherine yelled. “I am a magician! I think you should have a taste of what it’s like to be blind!” the woman shouted again. Suddenly, Catherine could not see anything. “Help! Help! What is happening? I am very scared!” Catherine cried. She did not know where she was because she could not see anything. The magician said, "If there are other people liking you, you can see again!"

From then on, she always gave poor people money. Her friends knew she has become good, so she had many friends. One day, when Catherine played with her friends happily, she saw the magician again.

Suddenly, a man called ABCman flew in the sky. He shouted, “I ought to help the people, the typhoon is so big!” He used a weapon called “A” to make the typhoon stop, then he used another weapon called “B” to push the typhoon out of the world. Finally, he used weapon “C” to make it disappear in the sky. He had power like Superman’s but Superman was sleeping at that time.

A reporter ran after ABCman and asked, “Hi! What’s your name?” When ABCman wanted to answer, Superman appeared and said, “Don’t answer!” Then, ABCman went back home. When he was back home, Harry Potter saw him and said, “Hi! I am Harry Potter!” ABCman said, “What happened?” “Five witches are in the school near Ocean Park.” “Okay! I will kill them next Saturday.”

The five witches had nothing to do and went to Ocean Park. ABCman went there too. He ran after them. The witches knew he was after them and they turned him into a frog.

“It’s me!” I shout. I know this case. It went like this…

When I had lunch in a restaurant last Saturday, there was a man shouting in the bathroom, “Help! Help!” But I did not know what happen. Afterwards, a child went into the bathroom and screamed, “A man died in the bathroom!” When I heard him, I was very shocked and ran into the bathroom. I saw a man stabbed by a knife. I asked all the people not to go out of the restaurant because I thought the killer had not escaped. We all waited for the policemen.

After two minutes, four policemen saw the dead body and ordered, “Everybody please give your bags to me one by one and open them,” When a man saw the police, he said, “I wanna go to the public toilet!” And he ran away. When the policemen opened his bag, I saw that there were a lot of drugs. When the police saw the drugs, they thought the man was a doctor. But I ran after him and shouted, “You are the killer, because the victim knew you have lots of drugs and you killed him.”

Finally, my assistant caught him and called 999. After this case, I became a super-detective.

Alex disappeared! - amended by Phyllis

I woke up this morning and went out to get the newspaper at the door. The front page had my picture on it and the headline wrote:

ALEX DISAPPEARED!

I read on:

"Alex should be back from school yesterday at 5pm, but he wasn’t. His family was now searching for him.” I was shocked. I was home and I had not disappeared!

When I went into the bathroom, I saw that the child in the mirror had a blue face. “It’s me!” I shouted loudly. Then I went to school and asked, “Where is Alex?” The other children thought I had died in Ocean Park’s shark aquarium, because the witches had used sharks to kill us.

I was very angry, because I thought it was them again. They must have used the magic sweets to make me become a blue child. I ought to revenge. Then, I went back home. But my family shouted, "You are NOT Alex!" I was so sad and cried, "Witches I ought to kill you, if I can't kill you then I am not ALEX! Make me an ordinary person!" When I thought and thought, “I am small now, after 10 years, I will kill you!”

In 2028, I went to the school to find the witches and yelled, "If you don't make me an ordinary person, I will kill you!"

The witches made me go back to 2008 and I became an ordinary child again.

American Election - amended by Phyllis

When I heard that Obama was elected the American president, I was very happy. I think Iraqis and Americans will be happy too because they do not want to fight with each other. I have this dream of world peace too. When George W. Bush became the president of USA in 2000, he ordered the USA army to fight Iraq and McCain thought the same. But Obama said, “Change!” He meant people should not fight with each other, so I think Obama is a good president.

20081113

When I hear the USA premier is Obama, I was very happy. Iraq people and USA people was happy to because did not want to fight with each other, so I has this to dream. 2000years, when Bush, George W. became premier, he order USA rank fight Iraq and McCain dream sane. But Obama always said “turn!”that mean don’s fight with each other, so I think Obama is a good premier.

Today is a bad day for me. I saw five witches at my school.

The five witches looked so polite and always gave us some sweets. Since they never torture us, they used sweets to make you become a blue kid. If you didn’t want to become a blue kid, you have to learn how to see them. If the women’s eyes are purple and they are bald, that means they are witches. All witches have long nails, so they wear gloves.

Today when I went to school, I saw five teachers hanging around the school gate and giving us some sweets. I wanted to take the sweets, but I saw the teachers had purple eyes. Their hair looked like threads and they had long nails, so I didn’t take the sweets. After lunch, the five teachers took my class to the music room. Suddenly, I heard them speaking softly, “I can use them to release my anger.” I heard these words and politely asked, “Can I go to the W.C., please?” She said, “Ok!” Then I ran away. I was scared to go to school!I think I ought to call 999!
