Sports vs Music

I’m learning to use a variety of sentence types for effect. What I need to work on is using short punchy sentences and commas for phrases. I think I am good at using complex, compound and simple sentences and using semicolons and colons.

• Simple,compound and complex sentences
• Commas for phrases
• Commas for additional information

Sports vs Music

I think that music is more important than sports. Do you agree? I do. I agree that music is more important because listening to music can help your body, can motivate you and help you learn new languages. Just imagine a world without music. It would be so boring. That's why I think music is more important than sports.

Firstly, I think that music is more important than sports because listening to music can help your body. I know that sports can help your body. because it can make you healthy and fit. But a magnificent article has shown that music in particular can help with more common diseases. Such: as short-term and long-term dementia, Parkinson's disease and can help lower blood pressure. But on the other hand sports makes your blood pressure go higher and also if you're healthy and fit, you could still have a disease like Parkinson's disease. That's why I totally agree that music is more spectacular than sports ; also in sports you can get injured this is so tragic.

Secondly, I think that music is more important than sports because music motivates people. Music definitely motivates me. I think that music, especially hip hop, is really extraordinary. Don’t you think? I really love music because it motivates me. Does it motivate you? For example whenever I run I like to listen to music because it makes me want to run harder. Every time I want to give up I play a song that will motivate me. But sports dosen’t do this if anything it makes you tired. It makes you want to give up.

Thirdly, I think that music is more important than sports because music can help you learn new languages. Do you want to know new languages? I sure do. Playing songs that have different languages can help you to learn new languages. Music is so spectacular,exquisite and terrific. Don’t you think so?  I listen to songs that have all sorts of languages and it really helps. Music teaches me new words and every time I listen to a new song I learn something new. But listening to music also helps younger children because you can play songs like the ABC song and so much more there is such a variety. With sports it is a lot more difficult to learn new languages. So that's why I say music is more important than sports it is so much easier to learn new languages and music is just full of joy.

In summary I think that music is more important than sports because, as I have said before music helps your body, music helps motivate you and music can teach you new languages.

The Heroic Rough Riders!!!

W.A.L.T know the movie making process. What I liked the most about making movies was putting in the black and white background and adding sound effects. I learnt that making movies on green screen is really hard because you need to get your placing right. Next time I think that we need to work on keeping the camera very still. We can achieve this by having a tri-pod but what we were using was a book holder and it still did the job but not as good. Enjoy the movie. 

Reading D.L.O

We are learning to read with fluency

To be successful I will:

• Pause at commas
• Stop at full stops
• Sound natural (not like a robot)
• Adjust my reading speed when I come  to difficult words

When I listen to my reading I think that I done good. I think I was successful at everything.
What I found hard was reading the difficult words on this page.

Past,present and future

I was learning how to add the extension na te mea ( that means because).My favourite part about making this slide show was decorating. What I found easy was making this whole presentation. I was impressed that I could make this whole slide show in forty minutes. Next time I would like to screencastify my slide. Hope you enjoy my presentation.

9 parts of speech

W.A.L.T understand the 9 parts of speech. I found that understanding adverbs was a bit hard but I got it in the end. Next time I would like to make my D.L.O more creative.

Did you know kids sew shoes!

WALT use descriptive words and phrases to enhance the mood of fear or sadness. I think I achieved this because I used descriptive words. What I liked about this was that I was writing from someone else perspective. Next time I will try to make up my own descriptive words because the ones that I used were made by our teacher. I hope you enjoy my story.

At work making Nike shoes

On another Sunday morning I rolled my eyes back into my head ; then I headed to the factory. Ohh I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Maria. Back to the story. It was four am and I was walking into the factory. My job is not the best. I make shoes for the Nike company in Costa Rica.

I had just arrived into the factory. The boss was standing right by me. Fear ran down me like the chill of an icy wind. “Get to your station number one hundred and eight, now!” George fiercely growled ( George is the boss) “Yes sir” I said with fear. I quickly ran to my station and started working.  All our stations have numbers because our boss George doesn't remember our names.

Hours later I was  finishing off my last shoe the buzzer went off for lunch. I said, “Finally, i'm starving!” I lined up to receive my stale bowl of rice. We always have rice. I was sitting on the dirt with my friend Eleni. Sitting on the dirt we could smell the stench of the nearby pile of rubbish; the factory fumes irritated my eyes. We barely had time to touch our food. Then we heard the buzzer to return back to work. We walked back into the factory.

Walking back into the factory the heat hit me the moment I stepped into the factory. In front of me I saw millions of kids crammed into the factory sewing Nike shoes. I had been working for hours my hands were so tired and I smelt a putrid smell of glue. My friend Eleni and I were talking about cool places we would go to if we ever got out like: Rainbows End, arcades and so much more and then Boom! she fainted.  I said, “Wake up!,wake up!” a few minutes later she woke. “Lucky,” I said with relief. A few times when I was working at the sewing machine I kept falling asleep and I almost cut my hand off. My stomach started rumbling. While working I fantasised of delicious food like: pizza, chocolate, cupcakes, chips, fruit and so much more.

Finally it was midnight and I could rest up.  I was so exhausted I couldn’t carry on. I went to my closet waiting for my boss George to come with my pay. Knock! Knock! “number one hundred and eight your pay” George shouted. I quickly opened the door, I said, “Sir” I counted the money and I had one thousand mil colones in US dollars that would be one dollar and seventy eight cents all together “Yes” I excitingly said. But I still had disappointment since  tomorrow would exactly be the same. “At least i'm getting paid right” I thought.

Money Money!!!
