Corona Virus. It is a virus that can infect other people. the symptoms of this virus are " headache, runny nose, a general feeling of being unwell, sore throat". Scientist says that it came from the seafood market in Wuhan China. There are more than 17,000 people confirmed the case of a coronavirus and 361 people died.

Other countries have feared the virus, one in the Philippines. 

Its attack the body then the person who attacked the body will unable to provide enough oxygen in the body and this is causing them to die. There is a lot of videos taken in Wuhan that now called the "Zombie land" They collapse without knowing it. This virus can spread like flu, we can avoid this by washing our hands and manage to stay clean all the time. The scientist is looking for the cure of this Virus.

We can avoid this virus by getting our selves clean and tidy to prevent the virus from dirty places and animals that we are not meant to eat.

EXEMPLAR for What I did well or A Time with Friends

(Think of a time when you did something really well. Write to recount that time.)

Have you ever experience being top 5 in you class? I have. Being a top 5 in my class is great it’s like just wonderful and everyone congratulate me. I study very hard to get in there. I’ve been studying all night to pass the exams I never thought I’ll be on top 5 I never ever expected that I’ll be on top 5.

I saw the staring at me and looking to my paper they are trying to copy my answer in order to pass, then I told to the teacher that they are copying me, then they stop. But there are a small problem, I forgot enumeration question.I’m sweating, and struggling I skipped the enumeration question and move on the another test, then I look at  the next test it is more harder than I thought I said to myself that” I can do it If the headache is the prize to pass the exam then I’ll take it.”

I'm feeling very nervous because I haven’t done yet my other test yet.

Then I already finish all of my test and I have answer the question that I skip. I do not know what to answer to that question I looked to all question that I already answer then I said “Boom” I remember that It was a easy because they appear to that question.

When the teacher’s finished checking our paper they announce that who was the top 5 students in our school and I was shocked that they call my name.

I knew I will be on top 5 I study hard to this to become a top 5.

Music Performance

1. What song did you choose?

• Closer by chainsmoker or Frozen Let it go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9F89ayeMA4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_qRWb9RMHI

2. What is the song about?

The Chainsmokers dropped "Closer" four weeks ago, and it's blown up. The song has over 150 million listens on Spotify and nearly the same amount of views on YouTube. It's currently the top song on the Billboard Hot 100, and it looks like it's going to be there for a while.

“Let It Go,” the most popular song from Disney’s 2013 animated musical Frozen, has been a smashing success. On YouTube the song has reached almost 160,000,000 views, at the 86th Academy Awards it won the award for Best Original Song, and it is the first song from a Disney animated musical to reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 since 1995. But Beyond that, nearly everyone that I know has at least most of the song memorized.

3. Why did you change that song?

Examples: In Macbeth by William Shakespeare, dialogue was used to show the state of  Macbeth’s mind.	For instance, the line “Is this a dagger I see before me?” demonstrates Macbeth questioning  his reality.	This technique reveals Macbeth’s character  by showing the audience that he has started to hallucinate and that his mind is playing tricks on him, or, alternatively, that the witches are having more influence on him than he realises.	Shakespeare did this to show the consequences of Macbeth’s guilty actions. As the play progresses, Macbeth’s mind becauses more troubled and Shakespeare uses Macbeth’s  dialogue, actions, and the conversations of other to reflect this.	This dialogue  can be juxtaposed with the feast when he has a visitation of Banquo’s ghost and says “Then comes my fit again: I had else been perfect”. This highlights, to some degree, the fact that Macbeth is conscious of his hallucinations. However, a characteristic of insanity is the insane person not knowing that are in fact insane and by the end of the play, Macbeth no longer knows what is real and what is imagined around him. This highlights the fact that guilt through murder and ‘unfettered’ ambition can affect the state of people's’ minds.
