Subj: Interview for Kung Fu Panda

Was it really funny? What was the funniest part?

Thanks for taking the interview!

These are my answers to the interview!

I loved Kung Fu Panda (especially since a turtle is the wise one). I'd rate it A!!!
It was very very funny! I like the part where Po (the panda) stole cookies. At the end when it showed the credits, it showed the monkey looking for the cookies and Po hiding.

*(Will not show the secret until everyone is done guessing!!! See the "Cover Story" section.)
I would LOVE to be Master WuGui, the great Kung Fu master that is a turtle!!! I am a turtle too :-)

Kung Fu Panda was pretty good. I am happy that my pet, Turtie, is a wise Kung Fu master! I rate it B.


It was hilarious! I love the part (no offense to Po) where one animal says, “How can he [Po] learn kung fu if he can't even touch his toes?” and another one says, “Or even see his toes.”

I want to be Tigress because she is a good guy and is good at Kung Fu.

More About the Word Contest

(Debate Time)

Remember about the word contest where you can try to make the most words out of the word GINGERBREAD? GWN forgot to mention many things.

First of all, the deadline for this contest is June 30th. You can always send in early and update your list. The judges will be Diane Zhou and Chloris Li. Chloris will be participating in the contest, but we promise she doesn't see other people's words before she is done submitting all her words.

Amanda Chang and Katherine Xiao wanted to submit an entry together. If two people would like to submit an entry together, GWN may divide the number of words by 2 or 1.5 since it would be unfair to have 2 people's words together....or would it be fair? That gets to another debate:

Divide Score?
Should GWN divide two-people entries? If yes, by how much?

GWN will allow Amanda and Katherine to submit an entry together. But GWN wants to divide their score by 2, 1.5, or 1.25 to be fair, while Amanda thinks GWN shouldn't. What do you GWN readers think?

For now, GWN will divide their score by 1.5, and they will get a bonus of dividing by 1.25 if they get 100 words. Do you think this is fair?

Send all your answers to GWN please!!!

Favorite Place

(Debate Time)
Where is your favorite place to go to?

School is finally over! (Please send fun end-of-the-year stories to GWN!!!) Summer vacation is here, so where will you go (Also send vacation stories!)? Speaking of where you will go, where is your favorite place, or where do you think is your favorite place?

GWN News: Update Corner!
