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.
