Smoking Is Not Cool

Smoking Is not Cool
This is my first persuasive writing.              
I Believe that people should not smoke. Do you agree?

  The first reason why people should not try smoking is that smoking is addictive and it is not good if you get addictive. This means you will always want to do a it is not good. Next thing you now is you get addictive. Plus you could get addictive real quick. You could possibly die young. For example  if you are smoking at a young age you are most likely to die quickly. For a matter of fact that 5000 people die in New zealand because of smoking.


The next reason why I think you should stop smoking is if you  have a family you will have to think about your family to. Because if you smoke around them it is possible they could inhale your smoke.
That is not good because your heart and lungs could stop working. Do you not want that to happen?


Second reason why I believe people should stop smoking is because it could cause you a stroke or a heart attack and it is possible to get cancer. Do you want that to happen to you?


My next steps are:

  • Carefully read my sentences to check they make sense (mistakes in word endings)
  • Make sure I use good lead sentences that are in order
  • Put more information into my introduction
  • Leart to use emotive words
  • Learn to summarise my argument at the end.

Te Reo Maori

Tautoros 110th Birthday

I was away form school and missed out the learning about figuartive language but heres the recount I wrote
                           
   Tautoro’s 110th Birthday
On a cold frosty Friday Morning it was Tautoro’s 110th birthday.

First of all the big day started with a powhiri for the old boys and old girls.
Our waiata were Te matua, Te po, Tautoro Awarua, and The Haka.
I was going as hard as my heart could go.
Then there was the big performance. We sang old songs like Karanga tia ra, The old Haka, E te hokowhitu, and more old songs. It was such a massive performance to do. Then at the end song the old boys and old girls joined in with us.

A Half hour later, The hangi finally came out. There were lots of kai and also toffee apples to buy for 2 dollars and there was also Cake. When the warm delicious hangi went to my mouth and the meat, the sweet potato, the kumara, and the pumpkin Then I thought this is so yum and delicious.

A few minutes later the cake was ready and Whaea Gaylene was handed out pieces of cake to people. When I got my piece of cake it looked tasty and sweet. When that piece of cake entered my mouth It was just mouthwatering, tasty and delicious. It was cake heaven.

After all of that We played the old games like hopscotch, spinning tops, hula hoops, quits,  skipping, marbles,and knucklebones. There were groups I was with Mis Paraha. The first game we played was knucklebones. How you played this game is you have to get rocks and put them on the top of your hand and then throw them up in the air then you have to at least try to catch some rocks. Playing knucklebones was frustrating as if you're stuck in a big problem. After a few seconds I instantly heard a bell when you hear that your group goes to the next game.

The next, game we were going to marbles. Then Mis Paraha explained to us how you play. So each person has one big marble each, what you have to do is hit the marbles with your mable and whatever marble goes out of the circle is yours. And the person with the most marbles wins. At the end Konrad had the most marbles. Then we heard the bell again.

I was like oh man I didn’t have enough turns to get enough marbles.
After all of the old games it was time to end the day with a assembly. It was our assembly. We showed items like what we have learnt and other kind of stuff.

So then that big day came to an end but my favorite part of that day was eating all the delicious tasty food.

I have been Reading Goosebumps, it is written by R.L Stine.
The type of book is a choose your own adventure book.  This book is mostly about a guy Reggie owns this shop and you and Julie make a bet with him. You have to get one item from each floor you go to. These are the items you need to get from each floor:

Floor 1: a man's leg
Floor 2: poisonous perfume
Floor 3: Heart attack backpack
Floor 4: Baby's booties
Floor 5: Silver arrow
Floor 6: Volcano Steam
Floor 7: The Final showdown

So these are the adventures you can pick. For example if you want to go to floor 3 you have to turn to page 33. Or if you just want to skip ahead and go to floor 7 for the final showdown you turn to page 77. If you had won the bet you can pick a prize from the store.  If you lost you could not get  prize from the store.
What I liked about this book is how interesting it is and because it's adventure. I also like all the funny parts in it. It was a very cool book. What have you been reading lately?
