Hurrah!

 

Hooray, I finished one essay over the weekend! I did the easier one first.  I had to write about the famous carriage-ride scene in “Emma” by Jane Austen. Now I have to write another essay in which I have to compare two poems and the poet’s idea on the theme of marriage.

 

I always find the poetry segment of English Literature difficult.  Very soon we shall be having a new teacher as our old one is retiring.  He was a good teacher but he was a traditionalist.  He would always go off on a tangent using big words.  I slowly began to loathe English during the four years he taught me.

 

But the new teacher has put a modern spin on it.  She explains things in simple terms and in a way her pupils understand.  In her opinion, our old teacher would “empathise too much on things that weren’t relevant”.

 

I have had no luck on finding the missing pencil case yet, though I have a good idea where it could be. In school, like mum suggested, on one of my English classes.  That was the last lesson I had before the holidays.  So I’m hoping it’ll still be there.

 

Have a great evening!
