What are different from List and Dictionary

     For this round we studied about new theme are list and dictionary. What do you think list mean? Do you have any example? List is the collection of item that have prepare in order and changeable. In the “list” we use the [ ] square bracket and we could also duplicated, which mean that we can repeat it again and again. For example:

Change item value

thislist = [“mango”, “jackfruit”, “coconut”]

print (thislist [1] )

jackfruit

The computer will print “ jackfruit” because if we count would start from one, two, and continues, but for computer begin with zero, one, two, ect. In the variable “print (thislist [1] ), which mean that we need a computer to print the fruit in the list is the first index. So the computer begin with zero with mango, first of jackfruit, and second is coconut.

Check if item exists

thislist = [“mango”, “jackfruit”, “coconut”]

if “mango” in thislist:

print ( “Yes, ‘mango’ is in the fruit list”)

For the check if item exists use to make sure does the stuff in fruit is the same as “if” variable ask like if “mango” in thislist:

print (“Yes, ‘mango’ is in the fruit list”)

So if the mango is in the fruit list the computer would print Yes, mango is in the fruit list. It could show us more that mango is already exist in the fruit list. Moreover, there is also the way to add more item into the list, which is call…

Add items insert

thislist = [“mango”, “coconut”, “orange”]

thislist.insert(2, “banana”)

print(thislist)

As you can see if we aim to add more item into the list of variable. First, we list down all of fruit list name, then in the thislist.insert (2, “ banana”) is show that you want to add banana into the variable fruit list, also we want the banana is in the second place. So we write number two in the parentheses near to banana to make it’s into the second place.

After we could get some idea about list and now I will share with you some information about the dictionary. Dictionary is different from list because it is the collection item that unordered and changeable, but there isn’t allow to duplicate and it use curly bracket { }. For example

In the box above is an example of dictionary. This is dissimilar to the list because in the dictionary we use the curly bracket beside parentheses. There is also brand, model, and year, which is called Key. Moreover, the Toyota, Prius, and 2017 is called Value. Mostly, we use dictionary to gather items that are  unordered and changeable.  

 

My Dream (English Literacy)

     As the time go on I was grow up and everything are changing. If I think back of some memories in the past, there was so funny. When I was 8 to 9 years old I wanted to learn English. One day my father bought me an English book. There are many pictures with word below. Frequently, I like to look at pictures and tried to read with Khmer caption near to each word, but it was actually very hard. Then I asked my father to taught me how read and spelling. He spend one hours to teach me one word with explaining, spelling, pronunciation, and translate. I was really appreciate to his patience and optimism because there were millions questions in my head, so I was actually following up from one question to other. After he spend an hour, then he told me to relax and eat dinner. I went out off a room walk straight to find my mother. My face as dust with rain fall down.  My mother asked “what happen to you?” I asked her back “how could I know how to read English and speak.” My mother​​ put her hand on my head with sweet word, which is “ Don’t worried kid, you would get success on your goals in the future, if you have a plan and try your best to fight problem. We would stand behind you to support and helping.” When my father saw me cried, so he told me that he would teach me again after dinner. I wipe tear with smile start on my face again. This is the most difficult problem that I was hard to find solution. Sometimes, when I saw some people speak English to foreigners I was wonder how did they remember all of vocabulary and understand.

     There are many struggles in the world, but it is also solution stay there to solve. Unless you start to stand up with confident and positive think. I am doing it to get on the top of my dream. As my father didn’t know a lot of English, but he tried to find many ways to assist with encouragement. Also, my mother is a person I could talk to if there are problems. Now all of advice that my parents told me it was real. I could write this story because​ I am learning English and success on my dream. I can speak, read, write and listen. This is the best result that I really expect.

Percentage

     Happy Round 4 it is so fast, I just finished writing portfolio math of round 3. From one day to one day in class we could learn a lot different lesson. This round we are studying about Percentage. The percentage is the rate, amount of number, and ratio that expressed as a fraction of 100. For example Express 45 to a percentage. What is the result?

     Percentage is an easy way to use because if you have a lot of number, which are contain many number, it is hard to understand and sometimes, it is unclear. This lesson also apply to our real life. When you are going for shopping some shop have discount poster like 15% off. After I study this unit nowadays I could have method to calculate to find price after they discount.

Who Am I?

   Round three in literacy class we studied a new topic is about Identity. Identity is mostly forcing about the identity of people or who are you, where are from, or background information. Before we did research there are also some guiding questions for us to have ideas. Besides that, we also look at some articles by Sandra Cisneros of “The House on Mango Street”, articles from newsela.com, and the poem “Where am From” by George Ella Lyon. All of those articles have been inspiring me and other students to be as models. Moreover, after we read the article called “The House on Mango Street”, which is talking about the girl who wrote about the history of her name and her feeling of her name. Then we also got to write a paragraph of background information of our name, where did it come from? Who given this name? And reasons. This is an interesting topic get to know more about yourself.

 

 

   Beside that we also get encouragement from a poem of “Where am From” is the product of George Ella Lyon is growing up in Kentucky. She loves words, tree climbing, bike riding, singing, her family, stories, dinner, and school. Lyon also plays some sports, writing since she was young, and play music. She has written a poem about herself ( Where am From) and audio. I could say it was so admiringly of her writing, which makes readers see all of the action she did by her words. Consequently, I also wrote my own poem that has a format of Lyon.

Python

   Before I never know what is a program, but I usually hear some people said about coding. When I hear, it was hard for me to recognize what is it?. On the first year of the liger, I joined a program called Technovation. In a team, we divide into two roles, which are business plan and coding. While we studied this was the first time I could see what is coding look like. I was so difficult to understand and I have no idea as glass without water. I had wonder how to programmers know how to write coding, it is so messy.

   Furthermore, this year we have started with the Python program and this class has been the road to spend more way for me to obvious. Python is the programming language for using to developing the web application and more. For the round three of school, we continue to learn more about Python Conditionals and if statements and Python For Loops. In the Python Conditions and if statements include Booleans, Comparisons, If statement, Indentation, Elif statement, Else statement, and And, Or, Not.

 

 

   Moreover, for the Python For Loops are Break statement, Continue statement, Range function, and Python while loop. This lesson is a little bit hard for me to catch up, but I look through again, try to print with code board and ask my friends to explain to me more. I could get more idea, it is also an interesting lesson and fun.

Geometry

   Surface area is the area of outside object. Today in Math class we study about geometry and how to find the area of different shapes. We had to practice them in a book and Khan Academy website to get more understanding. After I learned and do exercise more and more I can understand and know of a different formula to solve the problem. We also have a test about the geometry and some of the fractions. Besides, we learned about geometry we also have to practice Code.org with algebra. At the first time, I hear code with algebra it was surprising to me and I ask to myself how can we code with the algebra, but I when I get started to do it and it’s so cool.

Photography Basic

Photography is art or pictures that use the camera to take and they have a different style of photos, which depends on a photographer. Before we take the photo we should learn how to use important things outside and inside of it. First, I have been learned about the exposure, which is the number of lights reaches your camera sensor. There are three points that affect exposure such as:

  • Shutter speed: the length of time that shutter allows the light to go in
  • Aperture: the size of open the lens that let the light enter the camera
  • ISO: International Organization for Standardization is the level of brightness or exposure. It is also how sensitive of your camera on a light. The low number of ISO-less sensitive and the high number is more sensitive.

Moreover, there are the different style of shorts: Long short, full short, medium short, close up, extreme close up, long angle, high angle, eyes level, Dutch angle/ tilt, over the shoulder, and bird’s eye view.

High Angle
Long Shot
Extreme Close Up

Khmer Literacy តថគំនិត

Every photos there are many different meaning. When I see those photos are catch to my feeling to write a paragraph in Khmer, which is take the nature and feeling by using the metaphor to describe what are in my mind. All of the point below has take each part from the paragraph that I have been wrote.

Basketball

 

   Basketball is a game that has to compete with two teams, which have five members in each team. They need to throw the ball into the basket for getting scores. This is my favorite sport that I actually spend at least 30 minutes after I finish my homework to play or practice and make me excited. I am just joyed an ASE of basketball every Saturday with Seniors. We play mix with genders together and we have been spending seven weeks that a day in a week. Now we have a great opportunity to joy a competition at CIS school, so we have to complete two games which are football and basketball. We just have four days to practice with each other because everyone had come back from Pchom Ben break and next week we would have a competition. This was a short time to practice. Before there is a rule that in the field must be both genders.

   In the afternoon we played football with other teams and we always got scores to complete in final and it was amazing that we could get Trophy back to school. I could see everyone face with a smile and jumping up and down. On the next day is time for basketball. Everyone tried their best to play it. I could say some team they were bigger than us, but we still won them. We just have a chance to a semi-final and it was a wonderful game because we have a short time to practice, but we should do it and some members were a first time for them especially girls. This is the first time for me to joy games and we could get Trophy.

Mondulkiri Province

   Mondulkiri is the biggest province in Cambodia and collection of forests with wildlife animals. This is the first time for me to visit Mondulkiri province. When I hear someone said about this province I usually think of forest and weather would be cold because there is a place where forest located. We spend eight to nine hours driving. Along the way, I have observed the nature in that area, also there are rice fields with green and gold color mix together to make it more beautiful and all of the beautiful scenery is touch to my mind to know more how amazing of Cambodia. Moreover, the way close to Mondulkiri I could see mountains, forest, and hills have tall grass with cold air, which makes me feel warm Welcome from Mondulkiri province. We arrived at the place to sleep is in RDI and we had to take off our stuff and pick up the tents. There is an appealing place that has trees around and cold air.
