Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

You won't believe what happened to me yesterday. A mum and her daughter came to the orphanage were I live. When the mum heard about my life she decided to adopt me. Suddenly my life feels like it's about to  burst with glowing light and joy. Wow, I finally feel a ray of hope expanding my life. I can see kid's playing when I walked down the stairs and the new faces of my family. I can hear the words of welcome flowing through the air, as I enter my new home birds started to sing. My smile starts to grow bigger.

My practice write - By Peter

Remember when you were a careless eight-year-old kid riding a bike with your friends, racing each other around the neighborhood? Remember that feeling of absolute freedom as you felt the wind in your hair and the smile it put on your face? I never thought I would feel that way as a grown-up until my friends presented me with a red brand-new bike. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the total idea of commuting by bike. One morning a couple of days later, I completely changed my mind.

I was stuck in a traffic jam and saw in my rear mirror a man in a suit riding a classy bike with his laptop case in one hand and a handlebar in the other. I figured out it would take him about 15 minutes to get to the office while I was still sitting in my car and waiting for the cars in line ahead to move, even if just for an inch. I was always very afraid of being late for my business meetings.

That is when I decided to get on the bike. I haven’t regretted my decision so far. One of the best things about cycling is that the bike is perfect for exercising. Just cycling to and from work or to the shops every day is enough to keep you healthy and happy. Besides, it's incredibly liberating to be able to get anywhere without losing time in traffic jams. Also, don’t forget about the environmental benefits. Cycling helps to reduce air pollution while reducing also traffic congestion and the need for gas.

At some point, I realized that I started to use the bike more often, not only to get to work but also to catch up with friends and to head out for coffee on weekends. I loved this style of traveling because it lets you appreciate what you are seeing around you. You can stop anywhere you want and yet you can cover a lot of distance. That daily distance I rode to work was no longer enough for me. I started riding to the nearest decent mountain bike trails so I could spend the day going up and down hills. I did it because it was fun. Because I enjoyed it.

“I wish I could bike around the world,” I said to myself one day. And then I thought, “Why not?”

OK, I knew I couldn’t ride across the oceans. I came up with the idea to ride across each of the continents, from coast to coast. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became about my plans. If I do this, I will have to thoroughly prepare, I thought. I was also very scared. Would I be able to make it over towering mountains and across burning deserts? What if I got lost somewhere and didn’t know the language?

After a few months of training, I set off. This was hard at first, but soon I realized that everywhere I went people cheered me on when they heard about my journey. The newspaper back home reported on my progress. Once or twice I ran out of money and has to spend a couple of weeks doing odd jobs before I could continue on my way. I never gave up on my idea, and a year and six months later, I found myself pedaling back toward the place where it all began. my journey was over and I was home.

These days, I continue exploring the world with my bike as often as I can. Thanks to my bike, I’ve made countless friends, seen incredible sights, and had unforgettable adventures. I would have missed out on all of that if I hadn’t decided to try biking instead of driving! I guess there is an upside to traffic jams after all!

Success Criteria:I am successful when I persuade someone to my argument..

I am in year 4 and I think children should get homework  because it will help us learn more things.

I think children should have  homework because they can become smart and clever. Homework can make your reading high.Homework will help you to move in a high level group. Kids should have a homework because is important to learn more work. If  kids do not have homework they might become lazy, dumb and silly.

I played football with 'Ofa and Augustine. 

'Ofa ran fast. He kicked the ball to Augustine. Augustine ran fast. He kicked the ball to me. I ran fast like a speeding car. I kicked the ball. The ball went into the goal. 

We had fun.
