Homework
sample writing
Idea 1: the environment
Gigi is sent by Pleiades to assist in dealing with the data coming from the other planets far away in the space . My office is beside its, so I have a lot of chances to know him ( I don’t know its sex, but I prefer to think it is a male). Since he loves to work in the darkness, so there is no light in his office. For most of time ,he likes to stay extraordinarily peace, feeling very upset to be disturbed..
He has a magic power to tell tens of
thousands of different data in just a
few second , which is much better than any smart person on the earth. His brain is almost like an advanced computer , which can store a huge amount of information and can use it whenever is in need. His skin is very special , which is water and fire proof . So , he can help us to deal with the water and fire emergency
Idea 2 : the power of alien
Gigi doesn’t enjoy the food like we do at all. The space Agency makes a kind of special liquid for him, which contains a special kind of energy and he enjoys listening to music which I think completely noise. He looks entirely pink with pointed ears and very small month. His eyes like two small blue pearls and never close. Sometimes when he gets angry , he may skip around his office and make a very sharp voice but never do any damage to us. He is a
kind alien.
Idea 3 : appearance , hobbies and habits.
