Persuasive Argument - Lessons should be held outdoors once a week when the weather is good

Do you want your lessons to be held outside when the weather is good? I thought so!
When we walk into school, we dream about being free outside. Our teachers nag on and on and on... We want to be free! We, as students, should have a choice when and where our lessons are. Being outside gives students many possibilities. Being outside gives the students more possibilites for their creative skills increasing. Their writing techniques will be enhanced because they are given a good and exciting eductation.
The sun gives the skin vitamin D. This is very good for our bodies. It strengthens our skins and makes it more natural. Being in the sun, as you would believe, would give you a higher risk of cancer. Research shows by Dr Who shows that one hour of sun a day decreases the risk of unnatural skin! Helping your body makes you feel better because you are doing something food for yourseld and others.
Students would like to be outside because they recieve fresh air. Fresh air is hard to come bt these days because we live in societies where the cars produce petrol and gas fumes. These are not healthy for the human body.
Another experiment was undertaken when 15 out of 20 students chose that they want to have their lessons outside. This shows the teachers that their students would rather be outside than in a classroom. This is because
In conclusion, lessons should be held outdoors when the weather is good.

Quotes

Quotes inspire me because they can lift people up. They give me joy in what they are saying, and sometimes if offeres me good advise. The Success Tip is the believe in yourself. If you cannot, how you tell other people to believe in you to? Beliving in yourself and trusting yourself are exactly the same. Doing something is different than thinking something. People do not trust themselves because they are afraid of what might happen, not what is going to happen!

Quotes

"Successful and unsuccessful people do
not vary greatly in their abilities.
They vary in their desires to
reach their potential."
- John Maxwell

My Story - Dragonite

The dragon wings beat down. Her blue scales reflect the sinlight. Her passanger knows how special becase she can feel the flight. Fei was riding on her dragon's back. Her dragon's name was Ash. Ash plumeted downwards, her wings flat beside her. Thud! Fei and Ash landed on the grassy plains.


Ouch! That hurt! Complained Ash


I know. But, because you are 6 months old, the last female in Dragonkind and, pointed out Femi, you need to practise your landings. In a battle, if you collapse on me, I won't have the strength to revive you!


Ash snorted. Several soldiers were rushing forward from the campsite. There was grey smoke in the middle of all of the tents.
"Femi, we have just been attacked! Help us! Save us!!!!!!!!!"

Here is another Quote...

that our aim is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it."

I am a river. A Poem by me.

I am a river, a beautiful river.
I run low and high, fast and slow.
I feel all of the bumps, along my river.
I can sense the happiness of the life that follows me,
and in return, I feel that happiness.
My life is a river.
I am long, wide and smooth.
I choose the smoothest course.
I can see around the river bend.
To what I desire, I feel, sense.
I can feel the hard times.
The boulders and rocks scratch me,
I choose what I want to feel.
My water is smooth, cool,
It gives me new hope.
A rapid rushes to greet me,
Like those sad times.
Now, my river is at an end.
There are two ways,
Which one will I choose?

In a river, there are many distinguishing features. Life is like a river. The wide river greets all with welcome arms, while a thin river gives nothing away. People should be a wide river. Choosing the smoothest course may not be your choice. It tells people that you are willing to go wherever you please. Living like a river is my choice. It gives me many opportunities. I can feel others, and how they feel. I can see what lies ahead of me. There are some surprises that give me hope. I hope that people tell the younger generation that, “Life is like a river.”

The Other Side of Truth

I have just finished a book called The Other Side of Truth for the second time. I believe that Beverley Naidoo has written this book so well. I was crying!
I hope that lots of people are reading this book as it shows that sometimes people must lie, this does not mean that they are bad people. It could be because something bd has happened to a family member and they had to leave straight away!

I hope that you all read this book!

The Other Side of Truth

For our assigment, we have to write an essay. It is called a formal essay. Here is an example of a formal essay paragraph.

Question: Why does Sade feel guilty about hiding the truth when they arrive in London?

Sade feels guilty about lying in London. In hew household in Nigeria, the family does not lie. This was not common, " 'You know how much I hate lying but right now we have no choice.' " (p 16) This shows that her parents loved the truth and she feels that she is betraying them. In Chapter 15, Trouble with the Truth, is where Sade and Femi are being pushed into telling the authorities the truth. Sade does not know who to turn to because she is in a different place, with different people and the people may try to kill her dad or worse. Sade also knows that lying to them could cause more problems! These are some of the reasons why Sade feels guilty about lying in London.

J.R.R.Tolkein

This quote is said by Bilbo Baggins. It creates an atmosphere where the hobbits are very simple and they cannot comprehend it!

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve!

Can you get it out of what Bilbo is saying? I can't!
