Interest? Hobbies? Sports?

Interest, hobbies, sports, instruments all in 10 things that represents me. A mystery book, Ping Pong paddle, mini playing cards, Scrabble,badminton birdie, magnetic piano, clarinet reed, spot the difference book, Wii sports game disc and a robot. A mystery book represent me because I like to read mystery. Mystery books challenges your brain to guess who the culprit is by using the evidence. The first mystery book I ever read is a Scooby-Doo book when I was about 3 years old. I can feel questions forming in my head as I read the books. Each mystery book is different and unique, just like people. The reason that I like ping pong and badminton is that I’m really enjoy doing it and is a sport that everyone in my family participates. I started badminton when I started 5th grade; I was really doing poorly at first, then I practiced every weekend and I got better and better. During the weekends, my family goes to KDE to practice badminton and Ping Pong. I collect playing cards, from classic to each kind. I have enormous ones and tiny ones. This collection started from second grade. I collect them from all around the world, like from Oceania to Malaysia. The reason I collect them is because it makes me feel connected to other places , like Matt Harding when he shared his video of dancing. Another thing I enjoy doing is playing Scrabble and other similar games with my family. Scrabble is a great game because it challenges you to make up words only in your hands. I often lose because my mom always gets more points than I, but I still enjoy the game. Mainly because of the excitement as you spell out a word hoping to get more points. Other games that I also enjoy are Uno and Monopoly. I first played Monopoly was when I was at Taiwan. I have different kinds of Monopoly. Taiwan version and London version, paper money and electronic banking. My favorite Monopoly is the London version,because it is electronic banking. I also have different styles of Uno, normal Uno, Uno spin and Uno Attack. My favorite Uno is Uno Attack because you'll never know when the cards will shoot out. For the magnetic piano and the clarinet reed, I play both of the instruments. I take clarinet at school and piano at home. My little sister, Phoebe used to play piano, but she quit because she keeps falling asleep on the piano. The reason I play piano is because of the music it makes when I press the keys on it. When I'm sad or frustrated, I play piano to calm me down. The magnetic piano shown in the picture was given to me by my mom and I'm learning piano, so she gave it to me as a present.I take band in period 1 which is right after Humanities. The clarinet is made out of mainly 5 parts. There's the mouthpiece where I wet the reed and fasten it to the mouthpiece. The bell at the bottom, the two body where I press the keys to make sound and the part that connects the mouthpiece and the body together. In order to make sound to come out of the clarinet, I have to blow into the instruments and make the reed vibrate and the air will pass through the body and out from the bell. To control the sound, I have to press the keys and blow at the same time. The hardest of the notes are the high notes because I have to use the register key which makes the high notes. It took me about a few months to be able to play a high note. On the other hand, the easiest note is G, which I don't have to press any keys at all. Clarinet is the second easiest instruments to play in band. There is a Wii at my house and everyone in our family plays it to exercise and workout when it rains outside. We have a lot of game disc, but most of them are pirated. My mom says you sweat and exercise more when you do the real sport, not the graphic. Even through with Wii, you can actually move with the person inside. After the game, we feel sore when we play sports and not sore at all when we play something else, like Mario. The robot represent that I like technology and that’s why I took Robotics as a elective this trimester. Starting from 6th grade, I took Information Technology as a elective in trimester one and has been interested in technology ever since. Since we're talking about technology, I also have a Mp3 and a Ipod touch. The robot shown on the picture can walk on windows because it has pads on it's feet. I discovered computers in 1st grade, but I'm not very interested until 6th grade. Another proof that I'm into technology is the electronic banking in Monopoly that I mentioned before. The last thing that represent me is a Spot the difference book, seeing the difference can help me in real life, like seeing the things that are missing and locating objects. The first spot the difference book I ever read was a sticker spot the difference book, you have to see what's different, then stick a circle sticker over the difference. Overall, I am like mystery books and plays Ping Pong and Badminton. I also play Scrabble, spot the difference and Wii as entertainment. My interest is collecting playing cards. Piano and clarinet are instruments that I do when I’m bored. I am also into technology, that’s why I have a toy robot.
