Whenever I see the word "Pet", a strong feeling and memory will be evoked in my soul...
It was just last year and the memory of the horrifying scene that I had encounted with pets is still fresh in my memory. I used to own a fluffy rabbit and I love it alot. Then, my family had organised a Christmas dinner and the venue was at my house. I was thrilled as I had long wanted to show my relatives my cute rabbit. All was fine until another guest arrived. She brought a dog with her (the dog was without a leash) to our Christmas dinner and before anyone could blink, the dog charged at my rabbit and bounded on it; causing it to jump in fright and running to the nearest room. I was too shocked to even move! Luckily, my father and uncles managed to keep the dog away from the room before it could go in to chase my rabbit. Till the last day that I had seen the rabbit (we gave it away), it still bears a scar of the scary incident.

Cristalle's Memory
Cristalle^^
Hello! Here's my 100-word post!
The word "pet" reminds me of the time when I had pets: hamsters, fishes and turtles. This was rather long ago ago and at that time as my sister and I were too young to take care of those pets they were all given away. I used to be quite afraid of them at that time and did not really dared to pat and stroke them. However, I hope to be able to keep a pet again in future. I really yearn for a dog as a pet, I think they make very nice friends. As they say, "Dogs are Man's best companions"!

Jiayi's Memory
Whenever i see fishes, i will always remember the time when i had a luo han. But sadly, because we were unable to take care of it properly, we gave it away...
I remembered when i was 5 years old, my mother brought back a huge fish called luo han. I was very excited as that was the first time i ever had a pet. I prepared the aquarium together with my mother, and we poured a lot of water into the huge aquarium. Then, carefully, we placed the luo han into the aquarium. Lastly, we observed it for a while and the luo han started to swim about freely in the water. My mother and I were very excited and finally we had a pet of our own.
From then on, I took good care of the luo han and observe it whenever I have free time. Therefore, I like to keep pet fishes as I can look at it whenever I am bored and stressed.

Si Ya's Memory
Si Ya’s personal recount
PET
When I see the word pet, it reminds me of what happened to me last year…
Last year, during the New Year season, I went to my relative’s house. They own a dog and that’s what I am most afraid of. Then, we went into their house and we exchanged greetings. All of a sudden, the dog came rushing towards me and fear started to engulf me. I started running away from the dog and the more I ran, the more the dog chased after me. Suddenly, the dog pounced on me and started licking. (That is disgusting) After this incident, I would never ever want a pet dog!

Clarissa's Memory
My pets!

My fish was surviving healthily but one morning i found it stomach up floating on the water.I knew something was wrong!In the end,we “declared” it dead and threw it down the rubbish chute.Up until now,i do not have any other pets but i am aiming to get a puppy!

My most embarrassing moment occurred when I was in kindergarten. Although vague,I still remember that time when I mistook someone else for my mother and went forward to hug her. I was really at loss what to do and could only stand rooted to the ground, blushing crimson red.>< Hope it does not happen to me ever again!!!

The most embarrassing moment
The embarrassing moment is that during a P.E lesson in primary 5, we were asked by our P.E teacher to do some warm up exercises. We did a kicking exercise and all of a sudden, my shoe came out and flew in the air as if it was dancing. I feel so embarrassed upon seeing that. That was the most embarrassing moment in my life. Then, when my classmates saw that, they started laughing like mad. My cheeks turned red. But luckily, my P.E teacher asked my friends to stop laughing. But still to me, that was the most embarrassed day ever!

For this blog’s presentation and layout, I feel that it deserves a maximum score of 4because it is very neatly laid out and organised, with important points significantly visible. Also, you can access the author’s posts with simply just a few clicks! ^^ Besides that, its theme is very unifying too. It shows clearly about the author’s personal recount and I thought the design for this blog is appealing. Therefore, I think it should be rated under category 3. Next, for the design and graphics section, I feel that the graphics are quite relevant but seems to distract a little, so I feel that it will go under category 2. Lastly, for interest rate, I think it should be 3. This is because this blog is solely on the author’s personal experiences and recount, moreover, they are quite out of the ordinary, which makes it and interesting read!!!

Well, for the blog that I have chosen, the blog has an attractive, interesting and usable layout. It is easy to locate all the important elements that is supposed to be in the blog. I find that that is very good. In the blog, there is no specific theme but the graphics that the person used to decorate the blog are of good quality and it enhances the reader interest or understanding. For the blog contents, the person tried to make it interesting for other people to read it, but there is more room for improvement to the content. As for the paragraphing, it was generally good. As for the language wise, I find that there is no appropriate vocabulary in every single entry that the person wrote. Next time, this person has to include some vocabulary so that people will think that the entry is more fun and interesting to read. As for spelling and grammar, I think that there is no problem in it. Therefore, generally, the entire blog will be graded at a rate of 3, with 4 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.

The topic of the blog that I had chosen is sports. The presentation and Layout are rather plain and boring. It can be improved further by having a more attractive and colorful layout. I will give two marks for the Presentation and Layout as overall the layout still matches the theme sports but it appears busy and boring but it is quite easy to locate the information that the writer wanted to convey to the reader as there is a title followed by an explanation or answer.
As for the theme on sports, the graphics are related to the theme and there is also some sports merchandise in the blog. By doing so, it will enhance the readers’ enjoyment. Therefore, I have decided to give two marks for the Theme. For the Design and Graphics part, I will also give two marks to it as the Graphics are related to the theme/purpose of the site, and are of good quality. The author has tried to make the content of this Web site interesting to the people for whom it is intended. The content in it is short and precise and it does not beat around the bush and thus allowing the reader to know easily what is the message that the writer wanted to convey to his reader. And as for that, I will give three marks for that. There are only a few spelling or punctuation errors in the final draft; this will allow the writer to get three marks for this section. The writer also uses proper English but not singlish in his writing. The writer will be rewarded with three marks for the focus portion as the writer did not write out of point although the story wanders off at one point but the reader can still learn something about the topic. He tries to keep the story around his topic which is quite good.
For the paragraphing and sentence portion, the writer get four marks for that as his sentences and paragraphs are complete, well-constructed and of varied structure. He did not squeeze all the information in one paragraph; he paragraphs it every time he talks about a new thing. The language used in his story is mostly appropriate but the vocabulary is rather simple. He can use a wide variety of vocabulary in order to improve the vocabulary part and this will allow him to get three marks instead of only two marks. The sentences are precise and straight to the point and it sounds right so this will allow him to get two marks and not higher marks as some sentences are awkward and difficult to understand. The writer did a good job for having only a few errors in grammar or spelling and this will award him with four marks. He did not use any short forms to replace the words and he spell in full.
After all, I think that his blog is quite appropriate.

Paragraph Grading on Blog
Blog to be graded: http://the-ever-lasting-pain.blogspot.com
The graphics for this blog matches the theme for this blog, which is the author's never ending pain in her life. The graphic in the blog reads 'I want to end the pain now' , and finally, after a few posts of painful events that happened, the author finally got over the pain and ended it. The graphics are also of high quality as they are clear pictures and not some blur pictures that the author randomly chose. However the posts don't seem to capture the interest of the reader as there are no special headings or captions that might be able to attract the reader's attention. Still, the author has made an exceptional attempt to make the content of her website interesting by adding quizzes in her posts, adding music to her blog so that readers will feel more relaxed when reading her posts and adding pictures to her blog so that it will not be just words and more words.
