Floodland Final Project

Briefing Interview
2 Children Row to the Mainland

A 10 years old girl and an 8 years old have made a remarkably incredible success of getting to the mainland, through sea, just in a tiny derelict rowing boat. The girl, Zoe Black and her travel companion, Munchkin Porter landed in Hope and met Zoe 's parents, Mr.and Mrs. Black, in Newhome community about a week ago and now live as a family.

Therefore, an exclusive interview was brought up yesterday with Zoe and Munchkin by British Media Group in the Black's small cottage in the purpose to get everyone their true story of surviving .

"It was about a year ago when I got separated from my parents in Norwich.", answered Zoe to our first question. Since she was left behind, she kept on moving around the ruined town, especially, at the remains of warehouses until she luckily spotted the rowing boat with oars, only fit for 2 people. Zoe continued that she made her escape from the sinking land after being chased by people who were also begging for her to take them them with her. She didin't go back but went on rowing till she arrived on the called "Eel island" where she met Munchkin.

"Zoe was thought to be a spy from another tribe and was about to be killed but because of her boat, the ex-leader, Dooby decided not to.", said Munchkin as the interview was in progress. But their time there on the isle didn't last long when a deadly clash occurred. They were never expected to escape together. Zoe wanted an old man, who was said to have been her greatest helper, to go with her while she was wanted by Dooby for the second escape. "William refused so I think I 'll have to leave for my life"said Zoe. As she and Dooby were missing from the crowd during the clash, Munchkin and another boy,Spat who both knew where the boat was chased them. Dooby was distracted by the fight he was having with Spat. Seeing this, Munchkin swam to the boat and rowed away with Zoe.

Zoe added that the second escape was another situation of frustration and fear. They kept on rowing until they were swept away from the boat by a big sea storm and nearly died because of drowning. Fortunately, fishermen from Hope saved them and brought them to the hospital. Arriving on the mainland with relief, they continued their search for Zoe's parents who were believed to be in Newhome. "It was a tiring 2 days walk with not knowing where we were going but wishing for the help of God.",exclaimed Munchkin. They finally found Mr. and Mrs. Black by the help of a woman, Mrs. Clifrance. Their quest was finished with a successful result.

My magical pencil

An automatic purple with an easy grip for holding without hurting my fingers when I am writing essay or doing homework is my pencil. It is a very useful thing for me when I'm in an important situation. Examination is the thing that I must do the best to get good score.So I always use it.
I noticed that when I used my pencil during examination , I always passed my exam. I feel happy that I have this lucky pencil.I bought it perhaps 2 years ago in the bookshop.However, everybody thinks that it is expensive. But for me it's not because a useful pencil that can help me when I need help is important than everything.
If we have good score in an exam, we go to higher level. The graduation day comes we can see the good result of our ability.Finding a job is thing that people must do to support their living everyday. So it means that a small pencil can also help us to find a bright future.Pencil is a friend that every students bring it to school with them in order to help all the students to do anything that they want.
As I am a student that I have a good pencil with me every time and everywhere. I would like to advise all of you that you should buy a pencil that you really like to travel with you wherever.

New audition of 'It's me, Mickey'

We've written alot of blogs and there must be a favorite piece. For me "It's me, Mickey" is my favorite one because it tells most of the things that people need to know about me. This is my improvement and I would like to show it to everyone. I've already tried three times for this only one topic. I really have no clue how to make it improved. Can you tell me?

The word "Mickey" actually means nothing to me and I'm here today to tell you the good and the bad side of me. But first let me ask, do you really know about yourself or you only THINK you know about yourself?

Let's start from the good side of me! I have alot of names, may be more than anyonelse. At my Khmer school everyone call me Kid, in English class people know me by the name Mickey, i don't have much friend so i started to play alot of online game and people call me Snow and my real name isn't anything above; so it means that you free to call me anything you prefer. I think I'm open, I'm talkative to the person that I like and people say that I'm childish. I prefer to stay at home and play games instead of hanging out with my friends outside because I think it a waste of money but sometime I never wants to come home because of my home is not a complete home for anyone and I prefer to keep this privately; sorry for that! I love to make friends and most of the time I think positively about the world.

But on the other hand, I can't get a hold of my feeling and I don't know why too; if you don't understand let me explain. For examples, today I tell you I love spaghetti but tomorrow may be I'll say I love pasta. Most of the time, I want to be a cold-hearted person, I don't even smile to my friends. More than that, I don't get along so well with new friends and made them think I'm arrogant. I don't talk much to strangers and even people that not so close to me. It's not a shy feeling that I have it's just like...I don't know them by heart.

And that's it you need to know about me. Hope you understand about me. One more, I really wish for more people to like me, because I really don't have much friend. Good day good luck.
