Kings and Queens

As the summer holidays are just a few short moments away, it's time for our last series of updates. For the past two weeks the BigColaFor21 people were getting familiar with working life during their five-day TET period, so we only had about 10 or so people at school each week. So we spent the last two weeks cooking chicken tikka masala, which turned out to be a new kind of culinary experience for most students.

Before that our last writing task was to write a more or less fictional text about a day as a king or queen. We watched the film The Queen, starring Helen Mirren, and also listened to a song that is related to the topic. Since some of the texts are pretty long, we're going to publish them one, two or three at a time.

But before we get to the texts, I want to wish a happy summer to everyone reading this blog! See you guys in August! (You'll get a couple of updates before the summer break, though.)

Queen for a day

 
I would be the queen of the world. I would go to the place I ever dreaming. I would go shopping a lot, pretty clothes and things. I would eat lots of sweets and many different delicious food. I would go to every band consert I dream. I would fix lots of parties and there would be lots of people. I would want a beach house and there have to be a pool in a huge garden. I would want a new cool car. I would want a new phone, iphone of course. I would want to dance, party every day and every night. I would want that every day is like weekend. No worry, busy and school of course. I would want to live like rich people. You can buy everything you want and you get everything you want. I would want to be with my friends all the time and have fun with them. I would lose all worries, troubles and problems in the world. I would want to be the best queen of the world. I would want to have king who loves me and stays with me forever. There is so many things I want to do so I guess I will be queen for days, weeks, months or years that I can to do those things.

King for a day

I would spend my day in the castle. If I were a king, I would want a breakfast served to bed in the morning. I would sleep for so long, because I wouldn’t have to hurry anywhere. When I would wake up, I would take steps and go to watch some TV. I would relax and enjoy being a king. I certainly use the service that king would have. If I don’t have anything set to do, I would go to play some sports like tennis or maybe even golf. I would go shopping to and buy something nice. That would be nice when people stare at the limusine and wonder who’s there. Anyway, I would like to have some bodyquards. If I were fast and I had everything with me that I wanted, I would have a dinner while in city. After that I would return to my castle and spend the rest of my time with some friends. Lastly I would have to go to bed and get some rest, but I wouldn’t mind because I got to be a king for a day.
