Macbeth! YAY!

Hah. Greetings and salutations. In the previous lesson, Miss Malyanah summarised for us, the Act 1 Scene 2 of MACBETH. Here's how it goes:
King Duncan met the captain who was from the war. The captain told Kind Duncan about the war. In the war, Macdonwald got defeated by Macbeth(YAY! No? Nevermind) Suddenly, a new enemy emerged. It was the NORWEGIAN King. What a wimp. He attacked Macbeth when Macbeth and his armies were weak! HAH! That's not so brave. Anyways, Macbeth won the second war! YAY! Serves them right! After losing, the Norwegian King wanted a treaty. He has to pay $10, 000 to bury his men. It is actually a complete dishonour if You are not able to bury your own men who fought hard for You. So, the Norwegian King has no choice but to pay $10, 000. 

That's it! From my point of view, Respect and Honour is important in wars. Until next time, BYE!

True or False?

Well, recently we discussed about SUPERSTITIONS. Wow. Well, at first I kinda don't know what it means. But, after Miss Malyanah(unlike some boring teachers, she's AWESOME and NOT boring) gave us some examples, I jolly well know what it was about! I was told that we need to think about some questions and post it here! And the questions are......(Make sure to read it in a deep voice! Like the movie trailer guy!) *drum roll*

1)Has there ever been a time in your life when someone told you that something improbable would happen and it did?

2)Did the fact that the event was "predicted" cause you to behave differently that you would have otherwise and make it more likely for the event to occur?

3)Or did the event simple seem to occur without any audience from you?

Well actually, yes, someone did actually predicted something improbable would happen, but NO, it didn't happen. It's nothing big actually. It's about school. When I was in Primary 3, my maths teacher told me, "You will get a Band 1/an A in Your Final Year Mathematics exam." Well, who wouldn't feel happy right?! To get a Band 1/an A in Maths?! That's a dream come true! Basically, I USED TO be a hardworking person. Well, I got band 1s/As when I was in Primary 1 and 2. But, that happens because I studied. But after hearing what my teacher said, I kinda got cocky and started to slack. ALOT. Well, I didn't do my homework and I wouldn't pay attention in class. To me, it's like, "I'm already smart? So why study?" Yeah, that was how cocky I WAS. So yeah, IT WAS ALL THE TEACHER'S FAULT! Nah, I'm just kidding. But what the teacher "predicted", made me cocky. So, the "predicted" event DID made me behave differently. To cut a long story short, I didn't study for my Maths. Instead of getting a Band 1/an A, I failed. Yes, it was my FIRST fail. I was in despair(good vocabulary huh? XD) Well, I told my dad everything that happened(including the "prediction", and surprisingly, I did NOT get a scolding. My dad only nagged and advised me. Phew! Yeah, that's my story. I apologise for not having those dramatic ones. Like getting hit by a car(seriously?) or something. See You in the next post! This is Izz, signing off! BYE!
