蒸水蛋 by DINO

        我們喜歡做菜，我會做的菜式很多，不過我最喜歡做的菜式，就是蒸水蛋了。

        要弄一碟嫩滑美味的蒸水蛋，當然要先拿來制作蒸水蛋的材料。我們要拿一個大碗子、一雙筷子、雞蛋、鹽和「祕密材料」，那是蒸水蛋最重要的材料，那「祕密材料」是什麼呢？那當然是受心和心意呀！沒有愛心和心意，又怎能做出一碟嫩滑美味的蒸水蛋呢？

        拿來制作蒸水蛋材料後，我們可先將雞蛋輕輕沿碗邊敲碎，再把雞蛋倒進碗子裏，撤上些鹽，之後用筷子把材拌勻、把碗子放在蒸籠裏，用中火蒸十至十五分鐘。火過猛，蛋便會變硬，不太好吃；火太弱，蛋便會不熟，仍然是蛋漿；只有中火，才可把蛋蒸得嫩滑美味。過了十至十五分鍾，便用濕毛巾輕輕包著自己的手，取出碗子。

        當我把蒸水蛋拿到餐桌時，已見到家人的眼盯著那又香又美味的蒸水蛋。只見匙勺飛奔到那碗蒸水蛋。看到家人一口一口地把蒸水蛋吃光，心裏都有一種自滿的感覺。幸好，我及時把最後一小勺的蒸水蛋放進口，蛋不硬又不像蛋漿，一道簡單的菜為家人加文溫暖，看來我以後要多點做蒸水蛋了。記得有一次我做蒸水蛋，這時弟弟年紀還少不會用餐具，他卻爬上餐桌上，如猛獸般一樣用手把蒸水蛋吃光。這樣勾起了我對煮食的興趣了。

First always wear a mask because the smell of rotten flesh.

Third, wear a helmet before they eat your brain. 

If there are bugs 
Using bug spray. 
Also bring some insect repellent. 
See a spider use a stick let it climb on it, and transport tit to a suitable place. 
If you see a centipede or scorpions don’t catch it, use your bug spray. 
If your tree house is on fire, just ring for your lives. 
If you con’t escape, jump down. 

If you need to go the toilet. 
There is no toilet in the wild. Cut a small hole (16 inches * 16 inches) around tree house. Pee on it. 

If you find a snake, you need to remember. 
First identify the snakes. Is it venomous? 
People often get the milk snake and coral snake 

Red touches yellow nit a good fellow, 
Read touches black, a friend of jack 

Look at the eyes 


Use a long stick (over one meter ) and push it on the back if the neck. 

Look for book about snake, look for picture of the snake, and venomous information about it, (venomous or not), then you can easily identify with snake you have seen, run, or catch the snake. You can find garter snake in your backyard often. 

If you see a non-venomous snake, you have to identify it why? Because it might be a 20 feet python and came for lunch! 
If you are cure, kit I. 

If you are kind, call for help. You can get a piece of meat or annoying rat neat your tree house when it get distracted, use a container with a lit. call for help or call a reptile rescue center. 

Dear Norman

“Dear Norman” is another wonderful story by Robert Richard. It is written in a very unusual and extraordinary manner. The plot itself consists of the letters, which fulfill all the necessary parts of the story. The epistolary genre contributes to the deeper understanding of the conflict by the demonstration of the thoughts and feelings of the every character of the story. The writer sets a common family situation which captivates the reader’s attention. Despite the fact we have no possibility to read Norman’s responses, they are not necessary, as Norman’s feelings are clear through the letters which we can observe. Moreover, I think that the absence of his letters gives the opportunity to the reader to imagine his own variant of the replies. I think that the story contains both external conflict – between parents and a child, and internal one – between the good and the bad boy in Norman’s soul. Robert Richard’s language is humorous, witty and amusing. Speaking about characters, I do appreciate Norman’s parents’ behavior. I think that they have taken up the most accurate position to bring their son back. And, generally, most of the characters arouse up liking to them. Norman, despite his teenage offences, tries to overcome his egoism and to have negotiations with his parents. Beth, his younger sister, to my mind, loves his brother despite all the competitions between them and even finds forces to confess to Norman that she misses him. Norman’s teacher is a real professional, who knows the approach to children. And, finally, Norman’s grandmother is just an old forgotten woman who anyway loves her children and grandchildren and tries to keep in touch with them. I think that this story is worth reading it.

A Day's work - Writing

The story of A day’s work is about Francisco and his Abuelo went to work one day. Francisco said his grandfather is a fine gardener but he isn’t. They pulled the chickweed and let the weeds behinds. They have to do the job again. They worked on the next day.

        From the story, I learnt that the author wrote “A day’s work” to teach me not to lie. It is because Francisco made lie for earning 60 dollars and then his family could have extra food. But it doesn’t work as they made a mistake. They left the weeds, and took out the plant. Also, Ben known that they were not fine gardeners and who tell a lie. Francisco’s grandfather fold him no to lie again. And told Ben hat they could came again to fix it. Therefore, Ben said that “the important things your grandfather knows already.” Ben said that because Francisco’s grandfather known to be honest and humble.

Caving - Writing

             I have an old teacher who lives in New Zealand, she told me when she was young, she taught in a school. Every year they go on a trip to a cave. She often led the way to the students. She was amazed by the stalactite and stalagmites. One time she fell in a sump because it was too dark. You would think of a cave is very scary because there might be monster inside. However, there were beauties inside; also a cave is actually a treasure because millions of year age, the rain started to eat away the line stone.

Millions of years later the rain drilled it way through the line stone, the stalactites and stalagmites are treasure too. We mustn't break them as it will never grow back again. And it takes a hundred years for it to grow just two centimeters. My teacher also told me she found some minerals in the cave like crystals. If you are lucky enough you may find some fossils, although my teacher haven’t seen one, I saw people went into many caves which animals have lived in before, the found fascinating bones, there are many things to explore in a cave waiting for you to discover, join a caving team and be an explorer.
