Agree or Disagree

Politics and political problems are a subject for adults to deal with.
I disagree with that statement because kids need do understand what's going on in the world, also in their own country, and around them, listening and learning more about politics at a young age can make a big decision or impact in their life.

All stories can have a happy ending if those involved work towards it.
I disagree and i agree with that statement because if there was a person who had a job and wanted to get promoted that would happen if he worked really hard towards it, but if there are children in africa starving to death and really parched, if they worked together towards finding water and food they still wont be happy.

Literacy(being able to read) is a form of freedom.
I agree with that statement because no one is pushing you to read something, it's your choice to read what ever you want.

Civilizations without a written language cannot document history.
I agree and disagree with that statement because without a written document or symbals it's hard to show proof that he lived, for example. I disagree with this statement because you can show pictures, or even draw about it.

''The Private Lives of Teachers''

It was September 2007, and I guess you could say I wasn't to excited about starting school, but a blink of an eye it was already the summer. My dad came to pick me up from my last day of school, and notices I was talkin to Ms. T he got out of his car and jumped in to the conversation. 5 minutes went by and Ms. T asked if we were going anywere over the summer, my dad answeres quitely "Nowere this year" I reply "Why I want to go to England" we were having a small arguement and Ms. T butted in and offered to take me to England for 2 days. Im looking at him with my mouth opened, because of such a generous offer. My dad said" Thank you but we will have to think about it." We drove home and we got straight to the point, we were discussing it for quite a while, and the final decision was...



The final decision was yes, I ran upstairs, packed my bags and called Ms.T to tell her I can come, and she was extatic.The next day I was in England, near Oxford. When we arrived at Ms.T's villa, we quickly unpacked because we were ready for the big, friendly match of the summer. It was Man United VS Arsenal, we jumped in the car and drove to the stadium, as you might know Ms.T is an Arsenal supporter and I am a Man United supporter, unluckily for her we were playing at our own pitch. We got through and sat down in Arsenal's crowd, we waited patiently until the game started, the players came on to the pitch, shaking everyones hands and the whistle was blown. The game started, both teams were playing very good, unfortunately Arsenal got the first goal, Emmanuel Adebayor was the scorer. All the Arsenal fans were shouting and hollering they were all out of their seats I was the only person in sitting down in the crowd. The match nearly reached it's peek and it was still 0-1.

It was still 0-1 and there were 3 minutes left for the game to end, it was unbelivable though Rooney equalized, and seconds later in injury time, Scholes scored from out of the box and it was 2-1, I wasn't supposed to stand up when Man United scored because I was in the Arsenal crowd but I couldn't help myself, I jumped up, put my hands up and sang one of Man United's songs, I looked back and some threw beer bottles at me and I also got hit by this buff Arsenal supporter, but I guess I deserved it. we left a minute later so we wouldn't have anymore complications, we drove back to the house and I just wouldn't shut up, I drove Ms.T crazy I couldn't stop talking about the match. When we got back I ran to the freezer and took a few ice-packs, I sat down on the couch put the TV on and just relaxed, Ms.T joined me a few minutes later, we stayed up quite late talking and watching the hilights of the match over and over again.

The next morning we both got up late round about 03:30 in the afternoon, we had about 3 hours to spare before we took the plane back to Cyprus, we packed our bags, put them in the car and drove to a pub near by. Whilst driving Ms.T told me that it is an Arsenal pub so becareful of what you say, we sat down and we ordered one beer and one shandy, we got through our drinks, but Ms.T wanted one more beer she took the beer in her hands and a ma in a loud voice said,"Do you remember me" we both looked behind us and it was the man that hit me in the match, he was just about to hit me again but then Ms.T reacted so fast and hit the man with the beer glass, I sat there with my mouth opened and said,"We should get out of here before we end up on the 6 o' clock news and the morning papers." Ms.T and I quickly ran to the rental car and drove to the airport and got on to the plane, we sat in our seats and we both sighed, and I asked,"So does this make us criminals?" she replied quietly,"I think so" We arrived in Cyprus and we both clapped our hands and said ,"Home Sweet Home."

This is a new song that just came out and I chose it because it was one of these songs I just hated I couldnt stand it but it was so catchy I just ended up loving it. I like it because it's very catchy and has alot of rythm, everytime I listen to it I just want to jump up and start dancing. It is written by Flo Rida and Will I Am, I like Flo Rida because he just started his carrier and his done a great job in sticking in the game. One thing I despised about the piece of music was the lyrics, it was way too fast and I don't like songs when people talk too fast, but i made an acception for this song.

Uniquely me

My name is Paul and I am 13 years old i have an older sister, and even though we used to fight alot its our way of getting through the day, she just started university and i cant wait to see here in Christmas. Most of my hobbies are playing football, i dont know how empty my life would be without it, not only football but a variety of sports. I also enjoy playing with technology for example the ps3, XBOX 360 etc... but of course school work always comes first. I ike watching many DVD'S, going out with my friends, listening to music, and above all sleeping. My favourite color is green, and my favourite type of music is rap hip-hop and RNB. I know it's girls that love to go shopping but when i hear the word I go crazy.

The tale tell heart

I preferred the first video shown of the tale tell heart, and this is why, the last video that was under a minute was just to fast for anyone to understand and take it all in, it also skips out basic and important information that is needed to understand the story, the puppet also talks way too fast and doesn't make any sense at all. The second video wasn't too bad but no viewer would have understood the story because it got straight to the point, and it wouldn't be easy to get a general idea of the story. The first video was a bit too long but it gives the viewer a complete idea of what the story is about, it doesn't skip any information out and is very detailed and that is why I preferred the first one more.
