The book ‘Diary of a wimpy kid ‘ is a bit interesting, and the words are simple. However, I still can’t understand some phrases or sentences, for example, “i remember how Bryce used to act back in elementary school”… what is the meaning of “act back” ?”. It is a whole lot more complicated ” , why does the writer use ‘a whole lot’ , it means ‘a lot’?
I know It was one of the best selling books some years ago, and I will continue to read it and see what happens to the little kid .

Writing focus: put 2 ideas at least in every sentence and include connection words

“see what happens” = this is a set phrase

completely = whole
eg. I’m a whole lot happier these days
