Final Exam Part 3

Television is one of the many things that kids like to do, whether it's before school or after doing homework . Many kids look forward to watching their favorite show. A lot of shows on tv right now are very violent and some parents are ok with it and some don't approve at all. I think it doesn't affect our society having shows that have violence in them or shows that are all about crime. Crime shows have been around for many years , it's not like crime shows just started now when there was a lot of crime happening in the world. A lot of people enjoy crime shows like " How to get away with murder " or " Hawaii 5-0 " , those shows are watched by a lot of people and most people watch shows like that for adventure. Crime shows give people are rush of excitement and it keeps them on their feet wondering what's next . Another thing people fail to notice is crime right now isn't the worst it's ever been . In the seventies, murder was a

Final Exam Part 2

At 2 a.m. yesterday morning, meteorologists at the Nadi Weather Centre detected a cyclone developing rapidly near Nauru and moving quickly south-west across the Pacific towards the Solomon Islands. "It was a fast developing front that we could not have anticipated any faster." By 10 a.m., winds in Honiara were blowing at more than 140 kilometres per hour. "It was pretty chaotic for a few hours there when the storm hit the community." They broadcast warnings on the radio and alerted the police, who in turn sent officers to warn the local people. "We warned all the proper authorities." At about midday, the centre of the cyclone passed directly over Honiara before tracking into the Coral  Sea, where it blew itself out. "The storm had sustained winds of 140 kph and was classified as a Level 4 Cyclone" In Honiara, more than 20 houses were destroyed and a number of other buildings sustained considerable structural damage.

editorial and personal colums

three ideas for editorial story 1. Juuling at bowie 2. Not being allowed to wear pajama pants and not being aloud to have blankets 3. Sexism at school Someone or something i read I read and watch abc news stories a-lot, i read them a lot because they are the news station that get's in the depth of the story and get's the real emotions of people. They get the interviews yo want to get and they don't hold back they ask real questions that make people think. Also i love how they go into places to get the real facts and how they want to speak with scary people who have done crimes. I think abc news is cool and also entertaining to watch. I keep going back to them because they are always on my tv and also because i love their take on stories and how they ca be overdramatic sometimes.

the man who played the violin questions

1. I think we do perceive beauty, i think beauty is found in our imperfections and the stuff that we don't like about ourselves. Most people think beauty is our face or our bodies but what beauty really is , is the stuff that makes us different. 2. I don't think anyone really appreciates their beauty ever. No one really stops to notice the unique pretty stuff about themselves and that needs to change . 3. We only recognize talent in the stuff we want to notice, if you see someone weird then we don't want to appreciate their talent. I think if everyone looks behind their looks and what makes them pretty , then you see so much more.
