[10Eng] Persuasive Writing (School is the best place to make mistakes)

Persuasive Writing

This is my persuasive writing for English about School being the best place to make mistakes. 
Please Enjoy.


School is the best place to make mistakes


School is the best place to make mistakes, which I strongly agree with. I think it should be because school is a place to learn new things, increase your knowledge and it can also help you have a positive mindset knowing that you can learn from your mistakes.

Learning new things in school can really help increase your chance of getting a good job in the future. For example, if you were to become a doctor. You would probably be making mistakes every now and then. This is because you are learning something new and it is something you have never done before. I could be your first time and you might ace it or you might completely fail. In my opinion, I think that mistakes are more important than getting answers correct and you are not learning anything new.

Increasing your knowledge, a way to grow your brain to do amazing skills and know lots of things that can help you in the future. Growing knowledge like reading some cool or random facts of the internet and not knowing that before reading it. Increasing knowledge is an insane way to keep your brain on track and focused. Learning something new creates a new pathway which you lead you into your future life. In my opinion, I would love to learn something new and random every day to increase my knowledge.

Having a positive mindset, and knowing that you can learn from your mistakes is crucial. Having a good mindset can help you become a lot more positive and more inspired to keep on going and doing your best. For example, if you were in a soccer game and you lost. Most people would feel down but if you have a positive mindset you would learn from that and practice with your team a lot more and try to work on things that your team needs to work on. Having a positive mindset is very important because it could change the way you think and how you learn from your mistakes. In my opinion, I think that having a positive mindset is very important and try to remember.

So, is school the best place to make mistakes? In my opinion, Of course! School is where you learn something new and making mistakes help you learn something new. Increasing knowledge, having a positive mindset and making mistakes is normal for everyone. Making mistakes is what pushes you further to learn more and achieve more. And that is why I think making mistakes at school is perfectly fine and normal for all.

[10Eng] Class Essay Blogging

The Class Essay

Introduction
Too expensive, too uncomfortable and too unsuitable. The Hornby High School uniform should be changed. This is because it costs too much, it is unbearably irritating to wear, and is unsuitable for the various seasons.

SEXY Paragraphs
[S] Some Hornby families can not afford the school uniform
[E] For example, some caregivers find the $130 jacket too excessive.
[X] This is because they need the money for other necessities such as food, power, and rent. This is a terrible situation for substantially sized families.
[Y] Do we want our students to be starving, cold or homeless, just for the school uniform?

[S] Not only is it too expensive, but it is extremely uncomfortable.
[E] For instance, the socks, jersey, and shirts are all confining and itchy.
[X] This distracts from learning. We want our students ready to learn - always.
[Y] Wool it ever stop?

[S] As well as the uniform being too expensive and comfortable, it is inappropriate for certain weather conditions.
[E] We see this when students are wearing non-regulation jackets or jerseys to be warm when its cold and wet.
[X] “The skirts are far too cold on a wildly wet and windy winter’s day,” said Kirsty, a year 10 student.
[Y] Jaymee -another year 10 student- commented that they could end up dying from hypothermia if the uniform does not change.

Conclusion
Change the school uniform now! Why? Because it costs too much, it is horrible and intolerable to wear, and it is totally ill-equipped for New Zealand’s moody Mother Nature. A better quality uniform will result in better quality learning.

[10Eng] Persuasive Writing - Should students learn a second language

Learning a language can be difficult and easy depending on if the students really want to learn. It could help you in the future like getting a good job which requires a new language or if you were to go to another country, you could even speak to them and understand them! It gives students an opportunity to learn something new that could help them succeed in the future. But sometimes there is the other side of the spectrum. We have the cons, such as waste of time or maybe get forced to learn something they don’t want to learn, do you want to learn something that you don't enjoy or don't want to learn? Exactly. They could learn something they enjoy and might become better at something passionate that they enjoy. I personally think that learning a new language is a choice and not something that is forced.

[10Eng] Are Australians better than New Zealanders?

Are Australians better than New Zealanders?


Are Australians better than New Zealanders? I think that New Zealanders are better, this is because we have better food, cool scenery and more! We have delicious food like pavlovas and cool scenery for tourists to see or even make a movie there! We have an awesome rugby team that would easily destroy Australians rugby team and a cuter national animal than the Australian Kangaroo. Austalia does have some good sides, like being a much larger country with lots of cool theme parks and have good ping servers for gaming. There are also amazing beaches there for your family to visit for a relaxing holiday.

In my honest opinion, I think that New Zealand is a bit better because we have cool scenes and as cute kiwi as our national animal.

[10Eng] Watching TV is making New Zealand / Aotearoa an unhealthy nation

Watching TV has been part of me ever since I grew up. When I was young I used to go to the garage and get the old TV out and plug it in to watch my favourite TV shows while my parents were watching on the normal TV. TV can sometimes benefit your life such as having more family time watching the all blacks play or the Olympics. Or sometimes you could even check the weather or the news. If you don't have a phone that is. But sometimes there is a bad side to it, like damaging your eyesight or even not socializing at all! It could even make you so lazy you wouldn't even get out of the couch. I think that TV is not as bad as long as you don't watch every single day for 3 hours straight. This is what I think, I would be curious to see what you think about it.

[10Eng] William Shakespeare

In English, we are currently learning about William Shakespeare and his life. We are learning this to know about his work and what influence he has had on people today. We learned this by researching information and then making DLO's to show what we have learned. If I had a question, I would ask what inspired him to make plays, like if it was something that he saw or something that he did that inspired him.


[#1] Life + Times of Shakespeare

If I had a question to ask about Elizabethan England it would be why was not attending church a offense when people could be having another belief.

[#2] Elizabethan England


If I had a question about Elizabethan England, what made them think about sound effects such as rolling a cannonball across the floor to make a lightning effect.

#3 Elizabethan Theatre

If I had a question about Shakespeare's work, I would ask why did he only make a play named after 1 of his daughters and leaving out his other children.

[#4] Shakespeare's Work

[10Eng] Country living is good for young people.

Country living is a different way of living compared to living in an urban area. Urban areas have lots of new technology that most rural areas have never heard of. You could probably find something useful to help in the rural areas. They might not even get used to the environment compared to the underestimated, unique, urban areas. Urban areas have a lot of junk food litter everywhere unlike the Country areas there is barely any litter. This could heavily influence a young person to litter as well. They could affect their personal health if they eat lots of junk food like McDonald's or Burger King. I mean, do you want to be fat?

[10Eng] Success in sport is all about winning.

Success in sport, is it really all about winning? Sometimes it may, or sometimes it won't even matter. You could learn from your mistakes and practice, practice and practice until you get better! Sometimes when you win a good game to play and have bragging rights. Sometimes you can even learn something from the opposition and try it for the next time you play! This is what I think, I would be curious to see what you think!

[10Eng] Public are is a waste of time and money.

Is public art a waste of time and money?
I think that public art is a waste of time and money since the money can help schools and/or students help fun their education. It can also help students receive scholarships which can help towards their learning. It can help schools fund their sports equipment or even try something new. Like a new sport or trying something new! We could even use the money for donations and charities for those who need it. But there are some cons about this, sometimes artwork can help motivate or inspire others with their work or even just to put it on a blank wall that has nothing on it. You could even put it in art museums for others to look at as well. This is what I think about public art being a waste of time and money. I would love to see what you say!

[10Eng] Would it be better to be blind than to be deaf?

Here is my Google drawing on "It would be better to be blind than to be deaf"

If I had to choose I would choose to be deaf than to be blind because you can communicate with other people using sign language. You can also see your surroundings and be more aware of what is around you since you can see. And you can also have a lot of peaceful time to relax.

[10Eng] Supermarkets eliminating plastic bags to help environment

Supermarkets eliminating plastic bags is a huge deal to help protect our environment and more!
If we did the leftover bags could be reused for a better purpose than would help the environment. People would start using biodegradable bags. And the plastic bags can also help protect animal habitat and not harm any animals. But if we didn't eliminate them, this would harm the environment and would harm animals and habitat. It can affect our earth heavily for our future and pollute the water we drink.

Gaming is making too many young people unhealthy. [10Eng]

Gaming, a fun but addictive way to entertain yourself. Gaming helps entertain young people in their free time. And sometimes, most games let you play strategically and help open your mind. Gaming can even help young kids have a feeling of enjoyment and practice winning a match which can help increase their positivity around people (and maybe bragging rights). But there are some cons about gaming like being addicted to games such as Fortnite or PUBG. Sometimes when you're playing, you don't realize how long you have played. Like you have been playing for 6 hours straight and you think you have only played an hour. Sometimes gaming can make young people less social and stay home and play games all day. And the worst one of all, if you play online you can easily get cyberbullied online. Which happens to be the biggest threat online so far. So I honestly think that you should let young people play every now and then to let them enjoy what they are doing and have some spare time. But not too long.
