Stranded

Waking up from a night of disaster, not remembering what had happened on the plane I was on with friends and family, flying through a wicked storm. Rubbing my eyes trying to get the sand off, and with a blink of an eye I realized I was on an island, trying to tell myself it was all a dream but unfortunately it wasn't.

Running up and down on the beach like a crazy person, shouting out random sounds to see if there was any other people on the island. With a sound in the distance I could slightly see people running and waving hands towards me. Running towards the people they had been shouting my name a few times and suddenly I took a deeper and closer look, it was my brother and friend. With my smile going bigger and bigger I jumped with excitement and hugged them like it was the last time I would see them.

After a overjoyed moment, we had to think of a plan to get back home. Shouting freely and annoyingly my brother pulled out a flare gun saying “we can signal a plane for help if we see one.” And being so lucky there was a plane coming our way any minute. With no hesitation he pulled the trigger twice and with a blast of two bright red flares came out, and just like that the plane stopped and lifeguards rescued us.

Traveling past the stranded island it was a relief we made it out, finally safe and sound with no harm done, and just wondering what would happen if we didn't have a flare gun.

Baumkuchen

In this task I was given a reading comprehension about a German dessert called Baumkuchen. Reading this comprehension was very interesting for me, because in German the name Baumkuchen means “tree cake.” By its many rings, when you cut into a Baumkuchen it looks like a ring inside of a tree. I really like how the author used a great dialogue with expensive words. In the future I want to do more comprehensions like this because it gives me amazing facts.

Crazy Cone

Today I went on a site called mutiplactigon.com to play a game called Crazy Cone. You are given time table questions, and to answer the question you have to choose the right ice cream to scoop. Playing this game some questions were easy and the others were quite challenging. In the future I want to play more games like this because it got me to think instead of picking answers off the top of my head.
