Last year December, my aunt and my cousin was visited us. She was migrated to Singapore since 10 years ago. When we know they are coming to visit us, my brother was very exited and happy because he has been long time didn't see them. So, this time they come back, we decided to bring them go many places.

At the 1st day they come back, we go to a very nice restaurant to have our dinner. We had ordered a lot of dishes, all are very delicious. My mum said: "kuantan have great restaurant and there have alot of delicious food. Singapore has great restaurant also. So, Singapore probably has a lot of deliciousfood too." After dinner, we go to buy some fruits and vegetables in a market.



In this weekend, after taken breakfast, I suggest that we go for picnic. My cousin was very happy because he has been long time do not go for picnic. We go to the most famous beach in kuantan called "Teluk Cempedak". The sea view is very beautiful and the sand is shinny as a diamond. Every weekend, a lot of family will go there picnic and enjoy their family day at there. Once we reach there, my cousin and my bro were running here and there and play with the sand. My cousin said: "so far, every beach that i went before has a nice view and shinny sand. Therefore, the beach i maybe go in next time its also will have nice scene and shinny sand."



Today 7.30am, when i wake up, i saw my cousin still dreaminig on his bed. After 10min, my aunt wake up him to have his breakfast but he still on his bed. My aunt asked him: "what u want to drink later on?" Then he answered :" a hot drink."


After 1 week holiday end, my aunt and cousin have to go back to Singapore. We bring them to the bus station to take their bus. We hope that they can visit us during the holiday.

Implement from critical thinking:

Analogical Arguement:
My mum said: "Kuantan have great restaurant and there have a lot of delicious food. Singapore has great restaurant also. So, Singapore probably has a lot delicious food too."
My mum assume that Singapore will also has great restaurant because in Kuantan has great restaurant.

Assessment (SIMILE):
The sand is "shinny as a diamond".
In this sentence, i describe that the sand is shine like a diamond.

Inductive Generalization:
"So far, every beach i went has a nice view and shinny sand.
Therefore, the beach i maybe go in next time its also will have nice scene and shinny sand."
From this argument, i can know that my cousin assumed the next beach will also have nice scene and shinny sand.

Metaphor



MY LIFE IS A DREAM

My life is a dream,
like a tiger waking
up from her deep sleep.
My life is like
a dream,
it's all up
to
me,
the trees
are
purple,
the
stars
talk
away
the night,
the
moaning moon
lights
up the sky.

In this poem, the writer is using METAPHOR to show that his life is like a dream.

Simile...****


My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple tree

Whose boughs are bent with thickest fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is come to me.

Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it in doves and pomegranates
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleur-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.

Christina G. Rossetti 1830-1894

The Causal Relationship

In this afternoon i thought i can go cycling with my friend, but it was raining from the early morning. Actually we have been long time didn't gather together. But now because of its raining, i have to cancel my plan and stay at home to take care of my naughty brother. Very miss that time that we went cycling every weekend, this time we had missed the chance and i don't know when can we gather again.

Tu quoque fallacy

When i'm in primary school...i use to quarrel with my younger sister..but it never our relationship. Still remember the year which i'm in 16years old and she was 14years old, that day i told mum i go for tuition class but the truth was i went for a movie with my boyfriend. At the same day, i was saw my sis in the cinema(both of us get shocked), as i know my sis told my mum that she went to her friend's house to discuss her homework. I straightaway pull her to a side and asked:" why you were here?? you suppose to be in yours friend's house discussing your homework,!! you lying to mum!!" Then my sis said:" you shouldn't be here also!! i know you had told mum that you are attending the tuition class right now but you go for movie with a guy. You can't said i lied to mum because you also did the same thing!!" At last, we decided to keep it as secret and don't let our mum know it.......:P
