The Year 2050...by Jasmine Hou

          In the year 2050, cars exist no more! Instead there are hovercrafts! Everyone has on, even kids! 

          In the year 2050, no one needs to worry about the cold or the heat anymore because of the new “Season Changing Suit”! In the wintertime, the suit turns into a thick fur coat and in the summertime, it turns into a thin T-shirt. When the temperature goes very high or very low, the automatic air conditioning or heater turns on! At night, your “Season Changing Suit” even turns into pajamas! 

      Better than the “Season Changing Suit”, there is “Harold’s Purple Crayon”! According to the story, “Harold’s Purple Crayon” lets you draw whatever you want and it comes to life! The only rule is, you're not allowed to draw any weapons of any sort (safety first)! The future is littered with prizes. This is what I think 2050 looks like!

The Year 2050... by Adam Xu

In the year 2050 there will be much more technology and stuff. For example, instead of having to drive cars, people will have self-driving BMW X-5s. There will also be no school, because scientists will find out how to expose radiation to the brain and they will learn everything. Also, people can make energy by farting! There will be no more global warming because all the cows will be told to stop burping. (Cow burps contain methane).Instead of regular desks, there will be recliners made out of sheep wool and the “desk” will be raised platforms connected to the internet. Also, there will not be any kids forced to write long, wordy, essays! Also, instead of regular pencils, there will be computers that write by voice command, and there will be nanobots that fix stuff, so you won’t have to go to the repair shop. There will also be machines that make food appear out of thin air. (Sorry, Einstein, your theory was incorrect) In conclusion, 2050 will be a high-tech year!

My Awesome Trip to Great America ~ by Katie Chung

It all started when I woke up……..

Just like any other morning, tired, sleepy, and annoyed but excited for the new day. I go use the bathroom and then get my iPad and play. My mom just finished cooking my breakfast: Noodles, my favorite food, salty and warm. It was just what I wanted. It was Labor Day so I had no school! My dad was home too. My mom moved a high chair and put my noodles on top. I just watched YouTube for fun. My dad said we will be going to Great America so I brought a swimsuit because they had really fun water slide. I wore a purple dress with pink or orange shorts.

Lunch time… we went to Boston Market for lunch. I dropped my corn so it was everywhere.  After, my mom and I went to Yogurtland for a simple dessert and we were off to Great America. We drove past ROLCC and finally we were at Great America. We needed to renew our golden pass. The place to renew your card was next to Subway.

We passed…





The Gold Striker!
After a lot of walking I was not surprised by any rides. I entered Snoopy World. Finally, I was in the water park. I saw the water maze but last time I went, I was as frozen as Anna from Frozen. My dad and mom said I should go there but because of what happened last time I don't feel like it. We walked for a long time and took a picture with Snoopy and my dad found a Snoopy dance that was about Snoopy. In the show I saw a huge iPhone.

When I found the water park my feet were ready to walk fast. I first saw the kid water place. There was this water gate thing wand. I went inside to play but then it was time to go to the real thing.  I played with the small slide for a bit and then I went to the big slide. I took a small break and went back. Then I was ready to go to the big slide.



 I had to go through many things first. The top there is a bucket thing that pours water on you. The people on top of the slide were waiting and they were bored so they splashed the people on the bottom with really cold water. When I waited on the stairs for the slide, the big bucket splashed water on everyone about 2 times. I had to wait for a dad and child that took like forever, but now it was my turn. So much water was rushing on me, the feeling was so good but it was very cold water.

I wanted to rush back to my mom, but I could not find her. Instead I found my dad but he didn't know where my mom was either. I saw her come with a Dippin'Dots ice cream. Afterwards we went to find a ride to play to finish the day. We went on this spinning ride. I wanted to go with my mom. She didn't like the idea but she did it anyway. We had to wait and it seemed like such a long time she thought the seat number 11 was the slowest so we planned to go there. We ended up in another seat. The announcement was said and the ride started moving, my mom was pretty scared.

After that we went to play a game. I played the fishing game and you have a fishing pole but you fish for a frog. I got about 14 points and I got a reindeer. My mom asked me what I wanted to name it. I called it Sven Jr. It reminded me of Sven from Frozen. Now I wanted to play another game. It was a bowling game and last time I went to Great America I got two sharks. My dad got two strikes but nothing else. We could get a small one or if I give my reindeer I could get a big one. I looked and looked and I spotted a blue one. It took some time until I got it and I really liked it. We turned back to go home.
The End
