They can't fool me

I Know What It Was

They said it was just

an owl in the tree

but they didn’t

fool me.

I saw teeth

not a beak,

red eyes

not gold,

and I won’t be told

it was only

fluff and feathers

round its throat;

it was a collar

and those weren’t wings

but silky folds

of a black,black cloak.

It was no

Too-wit, too woo

I heard

It was

I’ll get you-ou!

Jobs, are they worth it?

Jobs, we all think differently about it. Some say they hate it, others appreciate it. Well this is my way of thinking about jobs.

Some people have jobs which have the privilege of working outside, others have the chance to work in a car or office. But here is my view on jobs.

I think every child my age(12/13 years old) should get a holiday job. Something that’s appropriate, like handing out pamphlets.

It’s good for you, I know from past experiences.

Working the long hours is worth it. Getting that papery cash or getting that instant credit to your account(if you’re an adult of course).

A holiday job is good to keep fit during the holidays. I state this because I know most boys and girls that are still in primary school or  have just started college stay at home being lazy. A job will at least get you out of bed early(‘er than usual) and will keep you active during the work hours.

This is why I firmly think kids aged 12-13 should get a holiday job.

The Truth Behind Chocolate!

A tricky subject for many is chocolate.

Like many others I firmly agree to the fact that chocolate is extremely unhealthy.

With all that saturated fat in chocolate, you wouldn’t know if you were eating chocolate or fat. To top that off, the amount of sugar and calories in an average bar/block of chocolate is extremely high, which could result (quite easily) with diabetes or even a stroke!

The amount of people that are obese in the world is very high and chocolate is definitely not helping this situation. Chocolate is very addicting, so people will only stop eating when they start to feel sick. This could cause you to become overweight and obese!

Chocolate has a very high concentration of Phenethylamine which is an organic compound which is well known for being a psychoactive drug and to have stimulant effects. That’s why when you eat chocolate you feel relaxed. But even with all these chemicals and and these fats people still say that chocolate is healthy. Do you know what I think about that. preposterous, absolutely preposterous!

That is the truth about chocolate! And those are the reasons why I firmly agree to the fact that chocolate is EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY!

My great persuasive essay

A holiday job is good to keep fit during the holidays. I state this because I know a number of boys and girls that are still in primary school or  have just started college stay at home being lazy. Having a job could be beneficial in a number of ways, at the very  least, it will get you out of bed earlier  and will keep you active during work hours.

This is why I firmly think kids aged 12-13 should get a holiday job.
