Topic: My Thoughts on Anne Frank’s Diary

1 Anne Frank’s Diary, written by a girl younger than me, has touched my heart.　

  a brief summary of the story

 ‚ the part that impresses me the most

 ƒ what I have learned from the story

2

  Anne Frank’s Diary, written by a girl younger than me, has deeply touched my heart. Anne Frank got the diary as a birthday present at 13 when she was still leading a normal life. However, things changed completely after the Nazis took over and Hitler made strict laws against the Jews. The Frank family had no choice but to hide in the Secret Annex. Anne started writing her diary as a young teenager, and she matured physically and emotionally through the two years of hiding. What impressed me most was that even though she was confined to a small place, she still showed appreciation for being able to remain with her family and could also express concern for those who suffered outside. Young as Anne was, she was compassionate about human suffering, and to her last breath she never gave up hope. How many of us who are more fortunate are as grateful and compassionate as Anne was?

3. Write a Paragraph

        I had a very bad morning yesterday. To begin with, I overslept and missed my bus. Then, as I rushed out of the door, it started to rain. I didn’t want to waste any time running back home to get an umbrella, so I simply put my schoolbag under my jacket, hoping that it wouldn’t get too wet. But then suddenly, I slipped and fell on the wet sidewalk. My glasses flew off, and everyone started looking at me. I was very embarrassed. But my bad morning didn’t end there. As I was trying to find my glasses, a car drove through a puddle of water and splashed water all over me. It was very hard for me to see anything with my face covered with muddy water. I finally found my glasses, but they were broken. Wet and dirty from head to toe, I finally arrived at school. When my classmates saw me, they all broke out into laughter. It goes without saying that yesterday really was not my day.

Writing Hands-on

Exercise A

Problem: I had the fear of public speaking.

Details of the Problem

My heart was in my mouth when I stood on the stage.

It seemed like the audience could hear the hammering of my heart while I was delivering a speech.

Nervousness filled my veins and made me light­headed.

Solutions

I told myself to think of the audience as stone instead of human beings.

With the crowd quieting down, a growing sense of confidence began to build inside me.

Exercise B

Even now, I still remember how frightened I was the first time I made a speech in public. My heart felt like it was in my mouth. It seemed like the audience could hear it hammering. It was, I felt, not butterflies but elephants that were in my stomach. The thundering herd was threatening to trample me thoroughly. Nervousness filled my veins, making me light­headed.

My mind went blank for a while. Then, I told myself to pretend that the audience was stone─Stones can’t hear or criticize. Slowly I began to talk. As the crowd began to quiet down, a growing sense of confidence began to build inside me. My muscles relaxed and my breathing eased. I finished my speech and went off the stage to thunderous applause.
