Hey my name is Basant. I’m from class o2. I’m known for falling off the swing in gr.3..and ever since then Rashida likes to call me broken-arm girl..lol. I have many interests, i like to listen to music, play soccer, badminton,and go SHOPPING =) !! 
. I like to have fun by hanging out with my friendz and doing things that interest us. When i feel good about myself..i listen to some more music =). Yes Freedom is very important to me..but unfortunately i don’t have any freedom. I can’t picture myself at the happiest…well i don’t like to because wishful thinking only leads to sadness at the end!…with a million dollars i would invest the money into a business and spend the rest on whatever I want.

Hey Basant,
That is so funny – what you’re known for. Haha
I fell off a slide like 3 times in one day, I should have been called “mouth full of grass girl”.
Haha
Good stuff getting your blog up.
Check out the posts “Blog Evaluation Criteria” & “Blog Common Errors” on my blog.
Pay particular attention to #2 & #3 under “Blog Common Errors”
You were so close with the background color of your polaroid. It is evident that you used the right tools to pick the colour. However, the purpose of making the background colour the same colour as where your Polaroid will sit is to assist in the illusion of the Polaroid actually sitting on the page. So you actually picked the wrong colour.
Compare your mark so far to the above posts. If you choose to, make the improvements in quality for your blog and resubmit it for remarking. Make sure to let me know what you’ve improved.
