Anywhere Door 1B Lai Jing Young, Kiran

The “Anywhere” Door

By Kiran Lai

It’s just a wooden door.

You put it on the floor.

Looks ordinary and pink

But you only need to think,

Where you want to go.

Open the door, Hey Presto!

You’ll see a brilliant light,

Become an amazing sight.

Could be the surprising Naica Mine,

The giant crystals in it shine.

Could be the incredible Mendenhall ice cave,

A sapphire heaven for the brave.

No need for a Google Map to find a place,

The door can take you around the world, or even into the space.

If you’ve over slept for school,

You still won’t break a single rule.

Just step thro’ the door to avoid any doom,

Cos you’ll find yourself in the classroom!

Such an astonishing, awesome door,

Who could ask for anything more.

Such a fabulous, fantastic gadget,

But don’t make it a habit.

It gets you anywhere, so how can I refuse,

The magic door is what I’ll always choose!

Memory Bread 1A Leung Maxine

One day, when I arrived home, I went upstairs straight to my room. As I stopped walking I saw Doraemon sitting on the wooden floor giggling about something. So I walked towards him, I sat close to him and asked him, “What are you giggling at?” Doraemon did not reply me, so I followed his eyes which were staring at an object. I saw three gadgets on the wooden floor. They were The “Anywhere” Door, Taker-copter and the Memory Bread, Doraemon said, “Since you are a special child, I want to give you one of my gadgets, but you have to choose wisely. If you choose it wrong, you will regret what you have chosen, because I will not let you choose again.”

I did not say a single word; all I did was thinking what to choose because I want all three gadgets. While I was thinking so hard I just shouted, “This is a difficult decision to make!” Then I took a deep breath and I closed my eyes to calm myself down, then I grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil to write down the consequences if I used these three gadgets. Doraemon waited and waited, he smiled at me and said, “It’s really a tough decision, right?” I did not say anything, I just kept writing and thinking. On my paper, I wrote the “Anywhere” Door can make you go to school time, and can take you “Anywhere” you want immediately. It would not close itself, it just stayed there and kept opening for you. The bad thing is if you forgot where the door is you will never go back home. Also, there might be animals or other people who enter the door and mess up your things at home. The Taker-copter can also take you wherever you want to go, but it has to read your thought, and the battery supply only lasts eight hours. The bad thing is you need to find Doraemon to charge it, if you cannot control your mind, the Taker-copter will take you somewhere else. Besides, you can only use the Taker-copter for eight hours. The Memory Bread can help you remember anything, you just write what you want to remember on the bread then eat it. In a few seconds you will remember everything and you will do fine in tests, exams, script and many more. The bad thing is you cannot go anywhere you want, it’s just a piece of bread. Also, if you have a test tomorrow and you eat too full, you have to eat the Memory Bread at midnight. You have to write what you want to remember or you may forget having the bread. When I finished writing all the consequences, all I did was to take another deep breath, Doraemon smiled at me and said, “It looks like someone knows what to pick already,” I just closed my eyes and smiled and slowly opened my eyes and stared at Doraemon and asked,: “Guess what I have chosen?”

Doraemon answered sarcastically, “You chose all of them.” I replied, “No, not all of them, just only one and I will not regret.” “I hope so you chose the right present for yourself, then what is it?” asked Doraemon.

Finally, I chose the Memory Bread. I caught Doraemon off guard because not many people will choose the Memory Bread except for the lazy students or the actors. I gave the paper to Doraemon, and waited for his response. When he finished reading the paper, he gave me the Memory Bread and asked me why I picked this. My response was that I needed to go to school and I wanted my grade to be good and I did not need to use the Taker-copter or the “Anywhere” Door, I think the “Anywhere” Door and the Taker-copter are for old people to use. Because old people will leave the world and they might not have a chance to go anywhere around the world, so it is a good opportunity to let them go wherever they want to go. Doraemon was proud of me of what I said, so he hugged me.

A Speech 1C Pang Nga Tao

Good morning principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates,

Today, I want to talk about my choice on Doraemon gadgets. Doraemon has a lot of gadgets (e.g. Take-copter, The ‘Anywhere’ Door, Memory Bread, etc.) If I have a choice, I will choose the ‘Anywhere’ Door.

The ‘Anywhere’ Door can help you visit all your dream destinations! If Doraemon gives me this amazing gadget, I can visit all fantastic places in this world. Frances, the USA, Malaysia, Japan, Africa, you name it. If I wake up late for school, I can use this gadget to go to school as fast as I can so I will not be late. It is really convenient. This gadget can save me a lot of time and troubles.

If you choose the Take-copter, you can fly in the sky but it can be dangerous at the same time. If you choose Memory Bread, you can get good marks in the exam but you cannot learn anything. Studying hard and paying attention in the lessons are students’ responsibilities. We cannot simply memorize the notes for exams.

After listening to my sharing, what will you choose? Thank you for your attention.
