F2F Class Notes 4th January (Celeste)***

Read the page below 2-3 more times. Write down 7-9 words you don’t know and look them up in a dictionary. Write about the new words in a paragraph, make 2 example sentences for each. Upload it in your next class.

Matilda is a little girl and she is inquiring/curious/inquisitive. She is brilliant child but her parents always think she is a chatterbox because she is inquiring and she always ask them some questions.  From this page, I know everyday her parents don’t stay with her. I think her parents maybe a little selfish because 5 years old is too little to stay at home by herself. Her mom goes out and plays bingo for 5 afternoons in a week. Her dad went to work and her brother went to school. Matilda set out/went to the public library in the village.

I think that is a bad thing because if I am Matilda I will feel scared and lonely. In a girl’s childhood she can’t feel parents’s love, that is not a good thing.
