My name is Caitlyn. I am a year 8 student from Karoro school.
I really like your writing about the chinese new year. I haven't celebrated the chinese new year and I haven't really learnt about it. It is really interesting to learn about other cultures and their celebrations.
Next time I think that you could make the words a bit bigger. The words are a little bit too small. Also next time make sure that your words don't run of the page because it is really hard to read. Don't worry though it has happened to me alot. Also make sure when you are writing in a paragraph that everything is of one idea because you are just adding random stuff in.
Once again I really like your writing about the chinese new year. In your writing you had some really good describing words and all of your sentences make sense. Have you ever celebrated the chinese new year?
It made me want to learn about it more.
