Character Description - Nevaeh Lawton

For writing this week, we had to describe a character. Most people made up their characters. We had to list all the thing about our character using our 5 senses. The character I made was an avocado called Avo Man. 


  LI:
To add detail about a character. 
The Power sentence. 
Surface features - Contractions / Their / They’re / There

Avo man was walking the street, he was getting lots of stares. This is probably because he’s way better looking than everyone else. His shiny green and black skin and his soft avocado insides, this guy was slick.

He turned to all the onlookers and in his very low pitched voice, “hey, how's it going?”. A cheeky grin spread across his face. Everybody plugged their noses and fanned the air around them. Maybe they weren’t looking at him for his looks… It was the smell! The street is filled with B.O and moldy avocado. ‘Yum just what everyone wanted’. When he got home, he felt his squishy tummy rumbling, LUNCH TIME! He doesn’t eat the usual food like, rocks or soil. He ate chips. That was all. The chips he ate were a bumpy rough pattern, like his skin.

After Avo Man had eaten, he went to sit on the couch, to watch the television. That’s all he ever did. When his favourite sports team loses, he’d rage and throw stuff everywhere. Last time that happened he pushed his sleeping friend off the couch and he came back the next day with a broken collar bone. (yes carrots have collar bones) At the end of the day, Avo man feels pretty darn tired (even though he didn’t actually do anything) he goes to bed to dream about food. Good night Avo Man.

Simon The Cat Character Description - By Chloe

 
I have been learning to do Character Description writing. My writing is about Simon the cat. It is explaining what he looks like, and what he does.  I did it on Simon the Cat because he seemed cool. I never did Character Description before so it was cool to learn.

My thoughts on should social media be allowed to hold and store our personal information? - Leo


our teacher told us to share our thoughts on different subjects. My topic is: should social media be allowed to store our personal info?
These are the pros and cons on the matter.


Hi my name is Leo. I'm 11 and a year 7 at Otaki College on the Kapiti coast. My question is should social media be allowed to store and hold our personal info? The answer is No. 

Firstly, if apps can get hold of your personal information, they can learn everything about you but they are strangers, also if you say too much it can be used against you. People can get your passwords and sometimes get into your bank account. 

Secondly, some sites like facebook or instagram save all the photos you post, even the ones you delete. This makes the site untrustworthy with your personal things like your age and address.

Thirdly, on the plus side, the game can set itself up to your age level. Others use your comments or suggestions to make the game or app better.

My final opinion is that No, social media should not be allowed to store our personal info. Yes it might make the app or site better, but do they all? The true answer is no, not really. Gaming sites like roblox, save your conversations with other players and tell the big company owners what you like and send ads using that information and think you will click and go by something because you like it. That is my opinion on should social media store our info.

my character descripiton -Bijou


The chubby cat peered over the edge of the bed. His long fuzzy tail flicked on and off the duvet cover. He was looking at his owner to see if he was awake. The demanding and percistent cat for another way to wake him up. Finally, My owner was awake. Ughh, he's back asleep already. That was what Simon's morning was like.

Simon looks like a fat squishy polar bear. He has a long fuzzy tail. His eyes are as big as a frog's eye. He's got a very cute mouth. He's very cute in general. I guess you could call him a kawaii cat.

He sounds like a baby when he meows. But he has a low, dark and creepy voice when he purrs. When he's angry he'll try and bite you with a crr sound! It's very scary.

Simon loves, like loves, smelling other cat's bum's. It's his way of saying all greetings and questions like hey!, how are you? What's your name? I mean he kind of likes sniffing the outdoors but not that much.

Simon loves touching nice fluffy blankets. He loves couches as well but he rips the thread out most of the time. He loves soft things like blankets and pillows are his favourite.

He loves eating biscuits. Temptation ones are his favourite. Simon doesn't really mind what he eats. He eats anything but he usually gets sick and throws the food back up 😆😨

When Simon's owner doesn't wake up he's thinking Oh my!, Wake up, I'm so so hungry!, Ughhh! Simon really can't be bothered anymore he can't put up with this anymore.

Simon loves being playful. But when he's in a very high play mode watch out he's very dangerous. If Simon doesn't get his way he'll be the most demanding and sassy cat you would've ever seen. When his owner comes back Simon acts innocent and cute.

Finally Simon woke his owner up with a thud of a bat.
