But after, I saw a ghost in real life, I have to believe the story now… That day was a day that I could never forget. It started off with a big thunderstorm happening in the night of a few month before my sister's birth... I was playing with a ball to see how high it bounces up in the little place where the front door is; cause then our house celling were very high. But then, I looked at the staircase, for my ball had landed there. But then I took a glimpse of a person there. At first I thought the person was my dad but my bad had went on a business trip the week so it couldn’t be him, but it also couldn’t be my mom because she was reading a book in the family room.

I was so scared that I was frozen for whole five minutes!! Just then, the thunder rumbled, making me jump out my mind. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; letter-spacing: 0px;">

I ran not trying to stop think about the ghost. The thought made happy that I saw one at last.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">By: Irene Lee **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">In the world there is a lot of rare animals. However this, Pinta Island Tortoise is very extinct because there is the only one left in the world. If Lonesome George dies, there would no more Pinta Island Tortoise and Lonesome George would be the last Pinta Island Tortoise in the world for us to see. We should come up with ****<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">ideas to protect Lonesome George.

Lonesome George got its name because Lonesome George is the only one left in the planet Earth. So the people who take care of him thinks that he is very lonely because he is the only one left.t ****<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">he cause of Lonesome George to be alone, is that, a lot of people started to kill turtles for their meat even though it was against the law. However, George has not been killed because he was the pet of someone (again against the law). Then, some people found Lonesome George and gave him to the Charles Darwin Research Station. So he has been able to live as the last Pinta Island Tortoise. There isn’t much time to preserve the Pinta Island Tortoise because Pinta Island Tortoise live to 80 years old and Lonesome George is now 70 years. Maybe he is the last Pinta Island Tortoise we could see. ** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">There are three ways to the Pinta Island Tortoise. First, we should protect the Earth by not cutting all the trees because if there is no more trees Pinta Island Tortoise have nothing to eat. We shouldn't litter because harmful chemicals might be eaten by animals in Pinta Island and pollute the water and air.

Second, we should help by giving a mate that is the closest tortoise to the Pinta Island Tortoise. I also think that we should give him a mate. But it wouldn’t be a true Pinta Island Tortoise, only some of the tiny looks or how George acts will be in the tiny baby tortoises.

Last of all, we should preserve the land that Pinta Island Tortoises use to live on because if we don’t there will be no where for the new-if can-Pinta Island Tortoises. I wish that there is no such things as an animal being alone like Lonesome George. **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">There are more types of animals like Lonesome George that we should try to save like; Baiji (Yangtze River Dolphin) in China or the Vancouver Island Marmot in Vancouver Island. More and more people should realize what is happening to these animals and come up with solutions. **

I think that when a new student comes and to your school, the first thing that comes in to our mind is that you should help the new student around. And I am going to tell you about how to help a new student.

First, you should show where we eat lunch and where her classroom is. And other unimportant stuff that teachers want you do. But what I think is different then the teachers.So now I am going to abandon the idea of teachers wanting you to do what ever they think that you should do to help the new student fell better cause they're new here. And starting from now I will tell you the ways to help a student.

Start off with being the new student's friend. (It is easier for the new student.) Then you should help her/him with where the new student's classrooms are. And tell her or him about the teachers the new student have and the rules the teachers want you to do in their classrooms. Also, you have to tell the new student about the rules here in KIS; like don't speak Korean and three tardies makes a detention. Then, you should tell her/him the people in KIS; like what their name is or that some of them are your friends. Also it is better to tell the new student where her or him bus is. And you should show her your good or best friends so the new student could start off by having lots of friends in her new school.

This is what I think to help or tell a new student when she or he come to our school. So the new student could have a good year here. And have good friends during 2009. And to enjoy being in KIS not crying or whatever.
