Grammar


So far, there are a lot of things I have learned about grammar. In ESL class, we have been studying through the right usage of grammar structure. It includes nouns, types, adjectives, verbs, tense, and sentence types. I would like to share a brief overview about the things I have learned about grammar.

There are three types of sentences; simple sentence, compound sentence, and complex sentence. Simple sentence is one of the simplest forms of the types of sentences. It does not need any kind of complicated form, instead it only need one form of simple sentence. Here is the following example of a simple sentence; Jean is eating her hamburger.

In the other hand, compounding sentence use connecting word to connect a longer form of sentence. The connecting word used in a compounding sentence includes ‘and’. One of the examples of a compounding sentence is; I am eating a spaghetti, and Dave is eating French fries.

While complex sentence has a more complicated form of sentence. It uses connecting words such as; while, although, since. Here is the following example of a complex sentence; I am kicking a ball, while my sister is eating her sandwich.

The knowledge of grammar is very useful to help my writing. A good usage of grammar creates a well-organized structured writing, and make writing to sound make sense. Grammar also helps me to create a piece of writing easier, and to deliver the message clearly.

math basketball experiment, by Theresa 10J & David 10M

graph from the data collection: the following graph fits most of the collected data points, and mostly accurate although not quite. The accuracy factor is affected by the measurement of the data collections. In this experiment case, it is less possible to measure the exact height of the bouncing ball, since the measurement range is wider, and less accurate. The graph shows a bit of curving shape.



data collection
p.s. height is measured in centimeter
the following data collection indicates the more the ball bounces, the less distance is taken from the ball to the floor. More bounce, less height.

Mother tongue week

Our school celebrated the Mother Tongue week, by having some dance and music performances from different varieties of cultures. We also invite some natives from Kalimantan to sell their goods in a reasonable price. While some other teachers and parents also participated in the International Day festival, by selling foods from different cultures at lunch time. Many of us got enthusiastic with the festival, since we shared many interesting things from an abundance of other different cultures.
