22、k at them in my aunts garden. Sometimes I tried to catch them because they were so cute. Before ing to the United States, I really didnt know the insects name in English. In Spanish, they are called mariquitas (七星瓢虫).Last week, my teacher Mona Grant asked me to prepare an oral report about any insec
23、t or animal that I wanted to. However, I didnt want to talk about any mon insect. Therefore, I thought of making my presentation about mariquitas.First of all, I had to look for the English translation of this insect. After asking some people if they knew the name of it, I found out what it was call
24、ed. It was ladybug. My presentation had to be about ladybugs behavior, and I learned a lot. For instance, I have discovered that when ladybugs are born, they e out of the pups and their shells are orange, soft, and damp. I have also found out that they have two sets of wings. When the wings dry off,
25、 they can fly. Another interesting thing I have learned is that when the baby ladybugs hatch (孵化), they eat 30 aphids(蚜虫) per day. I spend a lot of time preparing for my report because I had to talk about 7 to 10 minutes in front of my classmates. In addition, I was going to be graded by my teacher.
26、 As everybody knows, it is not very easy to give an oral report, especially in another language that you are just learning. I really wanted to make a great presentation, so I made a model of a ladybug to show the class. I used paper, glue and markers in order to make a beautiful ladybug. Because I h
27、ad to explain the meaning of the new vocabulary, and I wanted to catch the attention of my audience; I made some posters with the new words that I wanted to teach the students. I spent three days developing my presentation. As a result, it was really great. I think making these kinds of reports real
