Explanation Writing - Practice Test

Title: Why is school an important facility in our community? 

 Introduction: We have been away from our school for about 10 weeks.   In this time we have come to understand why school is an important facility for our community. 

Information 1 : School is an important place for us to go to and learn.   It has rooms and people focused on learning.  At home it has been challenging to focus and complete learning because it is crowded and noisy.   At times it is very distracting.   School however has rooms, equipment and people to help focus us on our learning.  We have purpose built classrooms and facilities for us to learn in.

Information 2: School is also a key place to be prepared for college and our futures. Good college preparation helps provide a way for students that are leaving college to become more self-aware and analyze what they really want to do in college, and later in their life. Being better prepared academically for college improves a student’s chances of completing a college degree. If students aren’t prepared for college they are most likely to fall behind or maybe fail.Preparing for the future means planning for different stages of your life. 

Information 3: School is also important for our social development. Social development is about improving the well-being of every individual in society so they can reach their full potential. The success of society is linked to the well-being of each and every citizen. Social development is the meaning of investing in people. Socialising is good for your mind and body ( better mental health ). Being around friends brings more happiness into our lives than virtually anything else ( besides family ).  Friendships have a huge impact on your mental health and happiness. 

Conclusion: Above all, these are some reasons why school is an important facility to the community. School isn’t just important, it's a place where you can create amazing friends, and just enjoy the fun school life before moving along in life. School is more than what it is :)

Task Description: As for tomorrow we do have our writing test so we have a " practice test " so we are prepared for our writing test as for our reports. Rm3 literacy topic was " Why is school an important facility in our community".

Why kids shouldn't get paid to go school.

Persuasive Writing - Why kids shouldn't get paid to go school

I completely disagree with this option because I believe that if you had the option of being paid to attend to school or being paid to study, you would choose the money. However, this is not a good decision, we did not go to school to get paid, rather we went to learn and receive an excellent education. Paying children to attend school may result in tough conditions.

There will be lots of options for you in conditions of jobs, but you'll also learn about the privileges of your role ( if going to University ). Many people may disagree, but I believe we are too young to get paid at this age; if money is more important to you than your education, you will most likely fail high school and would be unable to get into university.

Task Description: 

Persuasive writing is something that everyone on Team 5 does in literacy.There are agrees and disagrees in persuasive writing, just as there are in an argument. My topic was "Why kids shouldn't get paid to go school".

Speech about Leaders

  

Title: My Thoughts about Leaders.

Into: Good Morning everyone, Today I am going to share my thoughts about leaders.

First of all, confidence is the best quality. A leader must have strong self-confidence. A person lacking in confidence can never be a good leader and  a person must be confident enough to ensure others follow him/her. The leader must have confidence in his/her decisions and actions. 

A good leader must certainly inspire others and  a leader must be a role model for his/her followers. They must motivate them whenever possible. Also, in difficult conditions, a leader must not lose hope. 

A leader must have Honesty and honour because it is  very important to earn the love of followers. Above all, honesty is needed to win the trust of the people. 

Good communication is a must for a good leader. This is because poor communication means the wrong message to followers. Furthermore, good communication will increase the rate of work. Also, the chances of mistakes by followers will be reduced.

So now that you’ve finished listening to my story about “ Leader” are you strong, confident and have good communication enough to be a good leader? Everyone has the strength to be a leader. So use your strength and become a leader. 

Task Description: For Writing we've been writing speeches, and my speech was about "Leaders", Today I gave my speech to the class ( Literacy, Rm3 ). I was really nervous, I got my score and it was "19/25" which isn't really that bad.
