WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

an essay, it is necessary to identify the sequence of events from the beginning to the
end. A strong organization comprises proper transitions and logical order of
presenting ideas.

A. I knew that we would go to their house to celebrate her birthday, but during that

D. It was hard for me to choose what I should prioritize, but I ended up staying in
school.

situation.
E. On the next day, I saw her inside our room, and it seemed that she did not want to
look at me.

SET B

There are differences in English performance between boys and girls. Nevertheless,
these differences cannot be attributed simply to differences in innate ability. If one
were to ask the children themselves, they would probably disagree.

ADITIONAL ACTIVITIES

One of my favorite books is “Me Before You” by Jojo Moyes.It has a movie
adaptation directed by Thea Sharrock.Both the book and the movie share similarities
and differences.The plot remains consistent between the two.Some catches from the
book are not present in the movie.However, the movie adaptation captures the essence
of the book’s story.In terms of emotions, both the book and movie justify the tragic
ending of the story.Personally, I was more moved by the movie adaptation.
The visual scenes, character emotions, and dialogues were impactful.
However, both formats were enjoyable.The book provides a detailed experience.
It allows for a wild and curious journey for the reader.Given the choice between the
published book and the movie adaptation, I would choose the book.
