Appreciation & Reflection

I would like to thank my English teacher, Puan Ng, for
her assistance in creating my own blog. With her guidance, advice
and tips I am able to complete this folio efficiently. I would also
like to thank my family and friends for their support and assistance.


Thank you.

My Favourite character

My favourite character is Katya because she is
very smart, kind and very open minded.
She is also very hardworking and polite.
I think she is the smartest girl in Russia.
I want to be as smart as her someday.
Dear Katya,

Hello, I am Sasshivan. I am 12 years old by the way. I was reading the 'Clever Katya,' book and I just tought that I would write a letter to you because I really fancy what you do. My teacher said that Katya would be the smartest person in the whole Russia. Well even so, I realy think that The Czar should be your husband because he is as smart as you.I'd rather write to The Czar but since you are with The Czar I think it would be better to wirte to Katya. I really hope that you would read this letter. That way a lot more people would buy the book. Still I would like to personally ask you a few question to test your smartness. What are all the continents on Earth?


I think this would be all. Thanks for reading this letter.

Book Review

Title : Clever Katya

Retold by : Julia Donaldson

Illustrator : Jane Kochnewitz

Publisher : Ginn and Company

Origin of story : Russian

Summary of the story :

There was once a Czar who thought he was the cleverest person in Russia. One day, he met a farmer on the road. He asked the farmer for some bread and liked it. He found out about the farmer's daughter, Katya who baked the bread. He wanted to know more about Katya. The farmer boasted that she was the cleverest girl in Russia. The Czar felt challenged and vowed to come back to challenge her. The Czar put Katya through a series of test to prove her cleverness. The Czar was happy with her and asked her to marry him. She agreed on the condition that the Czar will allow her to take a thing she loved best in the palace if he ever get fed up with her and send her back home. For a year they lived happily. One day they quarrelled and the Czar sent her home. When the Czar was asleep, Katya put him in a big chest and took it along to her father's house. When the Czar woke up, he was very angry that Katya kidnapped him. She reminded him about his promise that she can keep the thing she loved best in the palace and that was the Czar himself. The Czar was very happy and agreed with the farmer that Katya was indeed the cleverest person in Russia. He promised not to send her away again and they lived happily ever after.


The part I like the most :I like the ending of the story when the Czar agreed with the farmer that Katya was indeed the cleverest person in Russia andthey lived happily ever after.

What I learn from the story : A clever person will go far.


How I rate the book : Excellent
