In the beginning, Ricky wasn’t

happy and felt depressed about

being in a new foster family, Hector

didn’t want Ricky to be about his

family during the time they first met

and didn’t want him to call him

uncle.

when he was being taught by Bella

feel that he had a purpose to

protect and started to grow trust in

Ricky.

sense of purpose as they both

respected each other and weren’t

just thinking about themselves.


Film Shots that were taken:

a tracking shot when Paula was

the car chasing Ricky and Hector

and is usually used for high action

scenes, exciting moments or

unpredictable moments.



Conclusion
Summarize what you have said

with keywords from the question.

Add nothing new. Use a powerful

final sentence - perhaps a quote!

Conclusion:

Ricky and Hector treated each

other with full respect and trust and

they both did not let each other

down or give up during the worst,

for example, even if Hector didn’t

like Ricky at the start, he still came

back for him when he was lost in

the forest and Ricky did not give up

on Hector even if they were about

to get captured, this shows an

an example that if one of us is

falling behind, we will always guide

each other during the worst.

ESOL

ESOL


Today during ESOL our teacher decided to read a book for us with no title and without any mentions about it. 

The book is about a boy named Noah who was 13 years old and has two more siblings and two parents who like to travel and had a despite the fact they don't have that much money. They have traveled to lots of places such as Kenya and despite the perfect life, Noah had some questions about his life.

My prediction that I think might take place in the story is that Noah might try to change something in his life and will meet something new. 

I think this would maybe take place because Noah still had lots of questions that haven't been answered yet or might still feel missing.

Whats fun about ESOL?

Whats Fun about ESOL

What I think is fun about ESOL, in my opinion, is splitting into two groups and doing quizzes about Disney and they give us challenging writing tasks to do and learn about new sorts of interesting words and during rare occasions, we can also be able to get free time if our teacher is away such as using our phones, Chromebooks and listening to music.

Free Writing 150 Words or More Challenge

 Free Writing 150 Words or More Challenge


During ESOL we have been given a task to make free writing including at least 150 words or more. It also must include all the words your teacher tells you to do.

Here the words my teacher wanting me to include in my free writing:

Contemplate

Courageous

Cornucopia

One of the biggest challenges that I did during the Challenge was doing the words my teacher wanted me to put which became really confusing for me because I did not know the meanings of them or where to use them, though it was fun as I went through them.
