MATILDA

Q. Write a list of some of the rules at your school.

There were a lot of strict rules at my junior high school. Some of them are below.

First, boy had to be clean-shaven head. We were checked our head at the morning meeting by teacher. If a teacher found a pupil who went against this rule, a teacher shaved his head.

Next, all pupils had to wear uniform. There were two type of uniforms. One type was, as we say, 'the uniform'. Another one was 'jersey'. We usually used to wear 'jersey'. We wore so-called uniform only when we had a ceremony.

Third, there were some rules when we rode bicycle. We had to wear a helmet and we had to apply a registration plate that indicated class to bicycle.

Finally, we had to belong to any club activity. I belonged to a baseball club.

Q.Which part or parts of the story did you enjoy most?Why?
Do you think Roald Dahl is a good writer? Why?

My favorite part of the story is Chapter 2 (Mr Wormwood), because this chapter describes action of Matilda's bad father . I was surprised by his action which trick someone for selling valueless car. Furthermore he said his action to his children proudly. I think that he is crazy and the story would be more interesting as the story continue. However the end of story was just ordinary.
Therefore, I think Roald Dahl is not a good writer. If I was a writer,
it will be more interesting. However, I don't have any idea at now.

Matilda

Q37. Compare the two teachers, Miss Honey and Miss Trunchpole.

Miss Honey likes children, so she is always really nice and kind to kids.
She is pretty and she is young. She likes Matilda and really thanks Matilda for saving her life from Miss Trunchpole. (Miss Trunchpole took all Miss Honey's money). Miss Honey doesn't throw people or scream either, and she doesn' shout.

Miss Trunchpole throws people by the ears and hair, and because she does that, she is not nice. She always shouts to kids, and screams too. She doesn`t like children and she is disgustingly ugly. Miss Trunchpole is mean and she hates Matilda, and she takes all the money from Miss Honey.

I like Miss Honey because she's nice. I like me school teacher, but she sometimes screams because she's mad of people who don't do homework, like a boy in my class. She likes to draw flowers - she's really good at it; she let's us draw too, looking at a real flower.

This is my plan about Miss Honey and Miss Trunchpole. "Nothing" means Miss Honey is not mean, and Miss Trunchpole is not nice.
