Summary

This article is about interview with Saw 3D director. Director made blood with corn-starch luquid also it can be very expensive, and sometimes they use animals blood. Director tried to make this movie the most crazy and violent. In the movie, there are a lot of death. Before casting actors, director thought about casting some hollywood stars. However, If movie has popular actors, the audience knows he won’t die, or he won’t die until the end. That is why he uses many unknown actors in the movie.

Personal opinion

When director makes next part of movie, It is usually worse than previous part. For example, God father part 2. That was great movie. Some people might think that it is better than original, but no matter how much you like godfather, you still have to see the original. The movie "Saw" is same too. Saw1 was the best movie. everytime when Saw come out, it is very terrible. I hope that this is last Saw because I don't want to see terrible saw version anymore.

My article - About Soccer player " Wayne Rooney"

Link

Summary
Wayne Rooney blamed his club team " Manchester United"
He thought that Manchester doesn't spend enough money for their squad, so he refuse to sign a new contract with Manchester United.
Last season, Manchester United only got league cup, and they lose star player like Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. They didn't replace for their empty squad.
Like the title of article, Rooney confirms intention to leave Manchester United.

Personal Response
I am huge fan of manchester united and I am really disappointed at Wayne Rooney. I used to thought that Rooney will finish his career in Manchester United. However, it turns out that it was just my thought. If Rooney leave the Manchester United, there is no one who is able to replace Rooney's position. Currently, their playing is very bad and also because of the lack of playmaker, Manchester will more go down.

Character trait

I'd like to introduce my novel character "Ben". He is only 13 year old.
He has very pure mind; for example, his father brought monkey for research and Ben treats this monkey as a family. Ben doesn't have prejudice, so he dosen't judge something by it's cover.

I can't find anything that admire him, because I just read 28 pages, I need to find out more personality about him from the book.

I think that I am not similar with Ben, because I have some kind of prejudice in my mind.

There is not much about information yet, so I should read my novel more.

My novel

My novel is "Half Brother", Written by Kenneth Oppel.
I just read this book about 18 pages, so I don't really know about details, but I can tell you basic summary.
The main character is thirteen years old boy, His name is Ben. His father is a behavioral psychologist. One day his father bring a monkey to determine chimpanzees can acuire advanced language skills. His parents tell him to treat this monkey like little brother, and after that Ben see this monkey more than  just an experiment, but his father doesn't think that way. Those are basic summary for whole story.
Now these are what I have read for 15 pages.
Ben is 13 years old boy.  Her mother is not with them for work, and His father got a new job at the university in Victoria, so they are moving Toronto to Canada. They could have flown, but Ben's father wanted Ben to see his own country. At first day, they talked a lot, actually Ben's dad did. they spend eight hours in the car, and every day Ben's dad got a little quieter. Finally on day six, they got to Vancouver and took the ship across to Victoria. They arrived at new house. It was in the country, because Ben's dad doesn't want neighbors. After one day later, Ben's mom came back with ugly baby Chimpanzee. This chimpanzee was reason why they moved here, because Ben's father is a behavioral psychologist. He studied the way animal acted.

I like sports especially soccer, so I thought sports article is easy to read in English. That's why I choose soccer article. Last weekend there was big game in English Premier Legue Chelsea VS Arsenal.
