Number the Stars

After I read this book, I think in that era, lots of people was frightened of the soldiers. If they were seen by the soldiers before, they would avoid the soldiers in order to let the soldiers forget them. It seems likes that they would be killed by the soldiers if the soldiers saw them.

Ocean Park

I haven't gone to Ocean Park at least for five years. And now, I went to there on Friday. I discovered that lots of things have been changed and many new games appeared on there.
I was confused because all of the games were interesting and exciting, I didn't know which one I enjoyed the most. I think I will choose the game stall which was a basketball game. We needed to shoot the basketballs into a designate position. I abounded confidence because I thought my basketball technique was quite good. Unfortunately, I was able to get one goal only but we at least needed to get two goals in order to get a prize. I was so sad. Luckily,thanks to god, I was got two goals and got a prize before we went back to school. But my purse was very upset that there was only got $20 at last. Each of the game stalls needed to pay for $10 or $20 for playing one time. After going to Ocean Park, I have lost about $120. I felt this was worth because the most important thing was felt happy and excited.
What I need to improve for next time is manipulating the time. I have played a few games although each of them are interesting. Maybe I need to play and walk faster for next time or request the school giving much time to let us to play.
