was a castle named Seiryo . It is familiar because the castle is made of dazzling diamonds and most of the people are magic users. They live peacefully , they do what they want and do what is right. It is a place where everyone is equal . Until the day had come, the evil spirit which is the most powerful of all human kind came and started to turn all the people into stones. No one had the chance to escape and no one had the chance to overwhelm the power of the devil spirits.

DreamOne Saturday night, I was driving in a dark road where few houses are likely to be seen. The bad thing is, the more woods the more eerie the air when it touches your skin. Until I reached a haunted house but what makes me attracted is because of the moon. It is as bright as snow. I was stocked there by just watching the moon. Meanwhile, a voice started to whisper my name. I don’t know where the voice came from but my feet started to walk , it’s like someone is controlling my mind. I’m not aware of myself standing in front of the house. I went inside, to my surprise, souls are calling my name. there is no going back because the way had started to disappear.

One Week Daily JournalNovember 22, 2012 (Thursday Night)

We cry for someone who’s important to us, we cry because we lose someone close to us that even our soul and hope is being killed by pain. The woman in my dream who is wearing a plain white shirt, who mourns on the coffin of his son, I can’t help myself but to cry. I saw my friend Novelyn who is also weeping and begins to languish. I went to comfort her but my effort isn’t good enough to heal the pain.

November 23, 2012 (Friday night)The man welcomed me to his home; I was more excited when I saw the keyboard located on the right side of the living area. “What are you fascinated of?” he asked me. “It’s the keyboard located at the right side of your living area”. We walk to the living where the keyboard is located. His fingers touching the keyboard are as light as the feather while playing. He looks at me and asked, “Do you play the keyboard? And I said, yes. Then he said, “You can have my keyboard but for one condition, you are going to take good care of this and play it.” Without finishing his sentence, I agreed to his condition.

November 24, 2012 (Saturday night)Feelings that needed to let go and memories that needed to forget. Maybe it’s time to let go of him that’s the phrase that pop up into my mind upon waking up. Two girls having conversations while walking. The first girl said, “I heard that he is going to be married with my cousin, so what are you going to do?” The second girl just smiled at her and said, “I can’t go against their relationship, and besides I can’t control their feelings. I don’t need to be a barrier for the two and there’s nothing I wish for him but to make him happy. Maybe they’re good partners in the future”. Before they reached their destination, a man who is tall, dark hair with a fair skin standing their worried and is looking for someone, he stops and faces the two girls. The second girl gave him a cheerful smile.

November 25, 2012 (Sunday night)I hate snake……….!! What a bad nightmare. Two girls talking with the salesman, asking him to drop the price so that they could afford to buy it but the salesman can’t do that. I just smile as I watch them having conversations. Meanwhile, I was nearly to lean on the wall when a green snake pops up from a box, ready to bite. I can’t move, just my eyes, side glancing into my right side to see if I could ask for help from the other guy. However, his situation is the same as mine. He gave me a signal to run over him but it was just to trick the two snakes, letting them to bite each other, however, it was a sad failure. The man was bitten by these snakes. In reality, I recognize this man as one of my customer from the computer shop, named Jake.

November 26, 2012 (Monday night)There are bottles of wine, well arranged in parallel. Luminous lights making the place like a bar. Three wooden tables in front of the counter, a man polishing the glass, wearing his inner polo with a black tapper that makes it not to cover all his polo and a black slack which makes him look like a waiter. He went out from the counter and a little girl with a long and blonde hair approaches this man and hugged him very tight. The man smiled at the little girl.I was in the scene but I don’t know who they are.

November 27, 2012 (Tuesday night)I remember some snatches of my dreams. My batch mate and I were in the island. Our intention is to celebrate our reunion. Foods and drinks are all present even liquors because most of them like to drink it. In the middle of our celebration, most of the people started to leave the island due to unexpected typhoon. We are all in panic, but the bad thing is, some of our batch mate doesn’t want to leave the island, commonly the drunkards and because of this, we were left by the boats. The problem in me is that, I don’t know how to swim.

November 28, 2012 (Wednesday night)I have a lot of pets, most of them are puppies, however I have specie who’s different among them and which, not everyone had ever seen it. It has a whale-like tail, dark gray in color, has webbed feet and long two-lobed. We went to the playground to unwind. While walking in the hall way, picking up my two little cute puppies, my one and only specie got lost and I couldn’t find it anymore.As I woke up, I was recalling if where I did saw that specie and I realize that it was from the movie “The water horse”.

• Song : Go to distance by Michael

Go to distance by Michael BoltonI have often dreamed, of a far off placeWhere a hero's welcome, would be waiting for meWhere the crowds will cheer, when they see my faceAnd a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distanceI will find my way, if I can be strongI know ev'ry mile, will be worth my whileWhen I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fateThough that road may wander, it will lead me to youAnd a thousand years, would be worth the waitIt might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distanceAnd I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeatIt's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hopeTill I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest partFor a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distanceI will search the world, I will face it's harmsI don't care how far, i can go the distanceTill I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face it's harmsTill I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

He is sweet, thoughtful, financially stable but quite boring. Jeff really loves me and will do anything to please me. But at the back of my mind, I’m wondering if he is the Mr. Right for me. I don’t want to change him but I’m longing from my previous adventurous and exciting love life. What should I do?

I work as a secretary in an advertising agency. Lately, I found out that my colleagues had been feeding my boss with negative things about me. They say that I’m not doing my work properly, that I’m incompetent, and close minded. I talked to my boss and she assured that she still believes in me. For my destructors, I don’t feel at ease when they are around me. My boss can’t fire them because they are also good at their job. What should I do?

Category: article 25 12

Sentence coherence

Complete in thought and the ideas are clear.

Some ideas are vague and some parts are not related to the topic.

Reader’s impact Touches the reader’s emotion and has good vocabulary

Does not touch the emotion of the reader and vocabulary were observed.

Direction: Read carefully the text and underline the verbs in present tense. Supply an appropriate title based on the selection’s main idea.

Title:_____________________Snow is composed of frozen water crystals. These crystals

are formed through the condensation of water vapor at below zero degrees Celsius. When individual ice crystals fall through the atmosphere, they start to combine and form snowflakes. The shape of the snowflakes, which exhibits a great variety of forms and structure. Magono and Lee have proposed 80 separate classses of snowflakes’ shapes. The proposed classification is slowly gaining acceptance.

Scientist have realized that the forces that assemble molecules into natural crystals can be utilized for the production of other important materials. In, recent years, researchers have been studying how molecules organize themselves to form crystals. Scientist are making themselves aware that the material properties of a crystal depend on the organization of the molecules in the crystals.

Scientist believes that synthesizing a molecular crystal in similar to designing a building. Similarly, chemists choose molecular forces that will hold the crystals together.
