NOVEMBER 2007 -- MATHILDA H.
"AN INTERVIEW WITH MATHILDA"
1. What kinds of books do you like?
I USUALLY LIKE JUST ABOUT ANY BOOK THAT HAS MONSTERS, CASTLES, OR WITCHES IN
IT. BASICALLY JUST FAIRY TALES OR MAGICAL BOOKS, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I LIKE
THEM BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. A FEW OF MY
FAVORITE BOOKS ARE: DRAGON RIDER, THE THIEF LORD, INKHEART, AND INKSPELL, ALL
BY CORNELIA FUNKE.
2. How often do you read at home?
I READ ALMOST EVERY NIGHT AFTER SCHOOL.
3. What are your work habits?

IT'S RIGHT.
4. What do you do when you don't know how to spell a word?
IN SCHOOL, I WOULD USE MY "SPELLING PASSPORT". AT HOME, I ASK MY DAD, AND HE
TELLS ME TO LOOK IT UP IN A DICTIONARY. (THIS TIME, I DIDN'T ASK HIM!)
5. Do you have any tips for studying for a quiz or test?
I TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION I NEED AND SEE WHAT I DID WRONG ON MY

1. What kinds of books do you like?
THE KINDS OF BOOKS I LIKE ARE MAGIC TREEHOUSE BOOKS. I LIKE THESE BOOKS
BECAUSE THEY ARE MYSTERIOUS. MY FAVORITE KIND OF GENRE IN BOOKS ARE MYSTERIES.
2. How often do you read at home?
THE AMOUNT OF TIME I READ AT HOME IS ABOUT 25 TO 30 MINUTES EACH DAY.
3. What are your work habits?
I DO MY HOMEWORK RIGHT AFTER I GET HOME FROM SCHOOL. I DO MY HOMEWORK IN MY
ROOM WITHOUT THE T.V. ON WHEN IT IS QUIET AND PEACEFUL. I TRY TO FOCUS MOST OF
THE TIME. WHILE YOU'RE DOING YOUR HOMEWORK, TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING
ELSE BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU WILL HAVE TO READ IT OVER AND THAT WOULD TAKE YOUR
TIME. ONE MORE THING: DON'T RUSH, WORK SLOWLY.
4. What do you do when you don't know how to spell a word?
WHEN I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL A WORD, I SOMETIMES LOOK IN THE DICTIONARY. IF
I STILL CAN'T SPELL THE WORD I WOULD USUALLY ASK MY FRIENDS OR PARENTS.
5. Do you have any tips for studying for a quiz or test?
IF YOU HAVE A STUDY GUIDE, YOU COULD READ ALL OF THE QUESTIONS OR WORDS. TRY
TO MEMORIZE THEM BY CLOSING YOUR EYES & SAYING EVERYTHING THAT YOU MEMORIZED.
IF YOU CAN'T MEMORIZE SOMETHING, YOU COULD STUDY IT AGAIN UNTIL YOU MEMORIZE
IT. DON'T GET WORRIED.
6. Anything else you want to say?
ONE MORE THING I NEED TO SAY IS TO REMEMBER THAT YOUR PARENTS NEED TO SIGN
YOUR STUDENT PLANNER BECAUSE IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
