The object being swapped with the subject.

I found out that when you swap the object with the subject, it is a bit confusing and crazy. For example, if you said “I went to the shop to buy some biscuits” then you say “To get biscuits I have to go to the shop.” It sounds confusing. The effect is that if you say it to someone they might think that you mispronounced the sentence, and if they said it it would confuse everyone who heard the sentence. Maybe even the person who said it, it may confuse them. This doesn’t remind me of anything that I have read. That is what I found out when you swap the object with the subject.

Confusion

I woke up this morning and walked outside. The sky was green and it was raining chips. I was confused so I went to my neighbour to ask what was happening. Guess what? He was half fish and half cat. He had a voice of a chipmunk so I ran as fast as I could to the police station. I went inside and an ordinary police officer was inside. I asked him what was going on. He turned around and in a deep voice he said “What do you mean?” I said that the sky was green, it was raining chips and my neighbour is half cat and half fish. He said “This happens everyday there is nothing wrong.” Then I woke up and it was just a confusing dream.

Obama’s speech

Obama’s speech makes people feel together because he describes how they have all changed America from slavery and worked together to change America to something better and a much more beautiful place to live in. When he did the speech the citizens of America realised that they should be happy with what they have, because they had some rough times together. America has been through hell so they are trying not to make it happen again, because they hated it, so Obama had to make sure that they are all together in a team so it doesn’t happen again. This is why I think Obama made the speech give out a feeling of togetherness and unity.

This is Your Online Domain

Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.

Edutronic has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.

Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.

If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.

Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
