Q 2
Percy Jackson 2- sea of monsters is a fantastic adventure movie. Percy Jackson - the son of Poseidon, Elizabeth- the daughter of Athena and other demigod kids lived and trained in Camp Halfblood. One day the tree which created a forcefield to protect the Camp was poisoned so the camp could easily get attacked by evil monsters. Percy and his friends had to find out who poisoned the tree and how to cure the tree.
There are some hints I gleaned that prove Luke - the son of Hermes poisoned the tree.
1: When the forcefield was under attack, everyone tried to destroy the mechanical bull except Luke, who just sat there doing nothing.
2: Luke also tried to convince Percy to join him to revive Cronus and destroy the gods and goddesses led by Zeus.
Later Luke confessed that he poisoned the tree and disappeared with a clock like device.
When Percy and his friends knew only the Golden Fleece can revive the tree, they went to the Burmuda Triangle to fight a big Cyclope and retrieved the Golden Fleece. When they put the Golden Fleece on the tree’s trunk, the fallen barks, branches and leaves flew back to the tree. The tree was revived and their home was safe again.

Q2
The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven was written in 1804–1808. It is one of the most popular and best-known compositions in classical music.
When I hear Symphony No.5, it sounds like a fierce battle going on. The battle is between Beethoven and his fate as a composer losing his hearing.
The first four notes of the piece da-da-da-DUM are really powerful like a beat on my heart that gives me courage and inspiration. Although I feel sad for Beethoven because he couldn’t hear anymore, I still admire his courage through his music as if he was saying “I shall seize fate by the throat.”
Beethoven’s all masterpieces are fabulous but I think Symphony No.5 is the most splendid because it shows not only his music talent, but also his courage, strength and persistence.

Q2
Humans and simians look alike in appearance and some behaviour, but human beings are more intelligent than simians. I am writing this essay to compare some similarities and differences between simians and humans.
Humans and simians share similar appearance. Simian faces look more like humans than any other animals. Apes also have similar bodies as ours.
Simians and humans are both mammals. They get their babies out of mothers’ tummies and feed the babies with milk.
There are some distinctive differences between human and simian. Humans are much smarter than simians. Human being can use advanced tools and technology, while simians can only use simple sticks. Humans use oral and written symbols for expressing thoughts and feelings, but simians can only communicate with shout and gesture.
In conclusion, simians look like humans in appearance, but humans are more intelligent than simians.

Q2.
Oh my gosh,
My laptop was kaput,
Damage caused by virus was acute.
No more math practice in Sumdog,
No more funny games in Minecraft.
I took my laptop for fixing,
the whole program needed reinstalling.
The repairman asked for 50 dollars,
I couldn't thank more
and paid the double amount.
When I got home
and turned on my laptop,
It buzzed to life
and I went on Minecraft.

Q2 One Sunday morning I was playing at the beach. It was low tide, so I decided to dig a deep sand hole at the muddy part of the beach. When I was digging the big hole, suddenly my shovel hit something with a big clang. I looked into the hole, there was an old wooden treasure chest! I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it was about to jump out. I checked that nobody was looking. Then I found a big sharp rock and made a hole in the chest. Wow. In the chest, there were lots of gems - sapphires as blue as the deep ocean, emeralds greener than the grass, rubies as red as your blood and diamonds like shiny stars in the sky.
I wondered where the treasure chest came from. Did it come from the pirates of the Caribbean or from the bandits of the wild west? Well I certainly didn’t know. But I am sure with one thing that I couldn’t keep the chest for myself because it wasn’t mine. It would be like stealing to take something that’s not yours, right?
I decided that I should give the treasure to the police. I started to carry the chest (which is about as big as a basketball) into my car so I could take the chest to the police station. After a few minutes of driving, I finally got the chest to the police station. After I told the story and showed the chest to the police, the police praised me for my honesty and awarded me by giving me 1/3 of the chest cache.

Q2
My mum went shopping,
Leaving me and my friend playing,
In the big house,
all by ourselves.
We were playing happily,
Until we heard a voice shouting,
Anybody there?
It came from downstairs,
Which made us terribly quail.
Our faces turned as pale as paper,
Our hands became as cold as ice,
Our blood almost stopped flowing,
Our mind was hardly thinking.
We at last got up our courage,
And went downstairs together.
We saw my mum’s mobile phone ringing,
“Anybody there”, “anybody there”
That’s what was making the scary noise
Whew
I guess it was no use for bringing our toy guns
