English writing thingy thing 30/8/18

People under 18 are too irresponsible to be allowed to drive. I do not agree with this statement for many reasons like how when people first get jobs they’re usually 16 and need a car to get to work. Because public transport is aids. I understand why people say this but I don’t think everyone under 18 should miss out. I think 16 is a reasonable age to be allowed to drive, people under 18 may have family events to go to or an emergency might happen. When you have a job it’s much better to be able to drive there. Some people live far away from the city and need a car to get there quickly. I don’t think because some people under 18 are too irresponsible to drive that everyone under 18 should miss out. People under 18 could also need it to get to school if they live far away. People under 18 also have important things to do just like people over 18. People over 18 crash and have accidents too. It is unfair for people to say this and I think it would be terrible if they put actio...

New Zealand is better than Australia

Is New Zealand better than Australia? I think New Zealand is better but that's because I live there so of course, I would say that my points are that we are better at rugby than them, we have a lot of different cultures in New Zealand and we also have a lot of farmland for how small our country is. We are better at rugby because we have beat them more times than they have beat us and we are the rugby world cup winners two times in a row and the women are also the rugby world cup winners and they also beat Australia. We also have more cultures like Maoris, Asians, Cook Islanders and all the others that we have it's good having all them other people because everyone is different and it's nice to have people that can speak different languages and are from other countries. Our country is also better because we have way more farmland than what they have and we have a lot more animals than them we have more cows and more sheep and we don't have animals that are a...

English writing or something 17/818

Swimming should be compulsory for all school students. I do not agree with this because some people do not like swimming and chlorine irritates peoples skin. There are many more reasons why I disagree with this. Swimming should not be compulsory because again a lot of people don’t like swimming because chlorine can irritate their skin, they might not want to get changed in front of their class. Swimming might also be boring for a lot of people and some people might not be able to afford the fee. The smell of chlorine is definitely something people don’t like and don’t want to smell like all day. So for me and a lot of people swimming in pools and it being compulsory is something we don’t want.
