Why we should play games.

I think we play games because playing games is vital to learning how to live better.

A game is played with rules, goals and consequences. There are different rewards in a game, like if you are playing a building cities game you do tasks to achieve goals such as make more money, build a new tower, unlock more xp for building up your levels and new upgraded parts.

Firstly, in some games you can play multiplayer. You can play this with a minimum of people from your family, relatives and friends, this can make you happier and bond with your family and friends through out the game.

Secondly, there are many games that involve teamwork. When you play a teamwork game with your relatives there is a sudden feeling of belonging to that team. Competitive sport or puzzles are easier to play with more people because you have more ideas playing as a team.

Thirdly, there are not a lot of strategies in computer games except for puzzle games. There is in Minecraft certain skill practise provided, such as if you go on the creative mode you have all the energy to build towers, hotels, temples and houses which means you would have to plan the hotel and how to make it AMAZING! Everybody dreams of the most provided there are those above you also have items to make that come true to your abilities in anyway possible, which is often a bit like life.

To conclude games are played by all types of people because as we play them we enjoy practising and preparing for life.

Thank you for reading my opinion.

We've all been there.

My persuasive response to the gentleman in the scene where he thinks for a moment about stealing from the lady after he fixes her flat tyre.
In the 'Tropfest' short film: "We've all been there.

How would you feel, if because of your parents, your future would be wrecked. If you steal the money then you will ruin your child’s future because they wont have a father to look up to. Think about the consequences the cause and affect.         

Every boy needs a father growing up, because a woman will need lots of help with a growing family,  even if she can do it, she’ll have difficulty being a mentor for the boy-to-man growth of her son. If your child will be a boy he will need you by his side all through his life. Your wife would be alone and struggling to raise a baby as well as work and that’s very tough for a single mother. Her present work hardly pays her bills and from the film I know you’re still looking for work, traveling kilometres to see if anyone is willing to offer some pay to a desperate future father in need!

The worst thing a father can do, is leave their child before they're even born. Wouldn't you feel guilty? And all because of a small mistake. If your father left you before you were born would you ever want to see him again? This mistake could be your ticket to jail and thousands of dollars to the police for theft and perhaps because your truck broke down you may have stolen her car with her in it … kidnap!

After every mistake or temptation there's a 'light at the end of the tunnel' because you CAN find work and your wife CAN deliver a healthy baby even if you don't have money. If you don’t know what ’light at the end of the tunnel’ means then allow me to inform you: when you mess up you can get back on your feet and forgive yourself, but in this case it’s not that easy. A mistake like this could take years to forgive yourself and that’s not even mentioning your wife and the effects it may have had on her life.

If you take the money there will never be a reward, unless of course you want it to be hearing something like this, 'Congratulations you have finally made it to jail!' No, your reward, if you don't take the money is you will see your child, boy or girl, growing up. That’s the best stage of your life because you get to know how your child as he or she grows up.

Seriously dude, I highly recommend you make the right decision because when it comes to delivery time you won't be there if you choose wrong.

Summer please doesn’t go!!

Friday, March 15th 2013              

Summer is the warmest season of the year, in the Northern hemisphere from June to August and in the Southern hemisphere it is from December to February.

Summer is the warmest of the seasons lying between Spring and Autumn.

At the Summer solstice the days are longer and the nights are shorter and here I am in Sydney with Summer on my mind.

There are four seasons. Autumn apparently is the most popular, but if you want a positive: “Yes.” You’ll get it for Summer.

Summer is so good and there is also good ways to PARTY!

For example, you can visit the zoo. It is full of interesting animals like tigers and antelopes.  

·     Book or paper

·     Pencil and rubber

·     Black pen and coloring pencils

·     Laptop and your hands (all the times) 

Instructions  

To start off you can choose an animal in the zoo that you would like to draw, research and raise money for. You can go and sit and draw as you research finding out as much as possible while you write what they are doing. You can research such topics as food, habitat, lifestyle and birth and go back to that animal and see if anything has changed.

Secondly, you can go to the park have fun. Here’s a recipe for a picnic:

·       430ml (1 3/4 cups) fresh orange juice

·       430g (2 cups) caster sugar

·       Melted butter, to grease

·       250g unsalted butter, at room temperature

·       2 tsp. finely grated orange rind

·       4 eggs, separated

·       185g (1 cup) fine semolina

·       150g (1 cup) plain flour

·       3/4 tsp. bicarbonate of soda

·       260g (1 cup) Greek-style natural yoghurt

Method

Step 1

Stir orange juice and 215g (1 cup) of the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until the syrup thickens. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 170°C. Lightly grease a 10x 20cm (base measurement) loaf pan with melted butter. Use an electric beater to beat butter, remaining sugar and orange rind in a small bowl until pale and creamy. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Transfer to a large bowl. Sift over the semolina, flour and bicarbonate of soda. Add the yoghurt and stir until well combined.

Step 3

Use a clean electric beater to beat the egg whites in a large clean, dry bowl until firm peaks form. Fold one-third of the egg white into the semolina mixture. Gently fold in remaining egg white until combined. Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Smooth the surface. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Step 4

Use a skewer to prick the top of the hot cake all over. Pour the syrup over the cake and set aside to cool.

Hope you enjoy that recipe

A good game you could play is tug-a-war. I hope you have a fun time at the park.

Thirdly, be kind and 'fill a bucket' go to an elderly persons facility and share with them a talent.

I believe that the guy should not steal from the lady in the nice car because he could get caught stealing by police and have to go to court.

If he steals the lady could tell everyone in town and he will have a bad reputation and won't find any work to pay the fine.

I believe that the guy should not steal from the lady because he could get caught by police and might have to go to caught and pay a fine.

Next, the lady might not have any money left to pay for bills and she could tell everyone about how he stole and have a bad reputation and won't find work or pay the fine.

Keep Summer Going

Summer is a joyful time in Australia. Warm weather BBQs, picnics and family time is what it is. Camping in the daylight, no rain in sight and warm water fun.

Summer in Australia is warm and exciting. The water parks, beaches, warm water and family. Camping, BBQs, picnics and fun family time.

Out door living, shopping and nice summer clothes all in Australia ...  feeling like home?

Nice summer sleep-ins, nice warm beaches, waves, ice-cream, surfing, family and friends is what Australia is. No school in Summer or work. Best friend sleep-overs on the nights of open Aussie sky.

Warm summer sunsets lying on the beach seeing the sun go down each night after all the wonderful times. Lovely beach sport afternoons and lovely music and concerts.

Come to Australia in Summer and get the Aussie sensation.

Singing my first song.

When l first started singing I was one year old. I was singing the Wiggles from the TV. I liked their shows and had fun singing with them. As I grew I began singing better and checked if my voice is good or not. Singing is my life.

Keep Summer Going

I believe Summer is the best Season ever because you can hangout with your friends and family. Summer is just the best season. There are so many things to do outdoors in the sunshine. Hanging and just chilling are great things to do in Summer with your friends and family.

Firstly, during most of Summer there is NO SCHOOL. That means lots of chances to do fun things like camping, pool parties, holidays and much more with friends and family.

NO SCHOOL is NO HOMEWORK which is great for some students. Get ready because Summers on its way. Get outdoors and go to the beach and hang with your friends.

Secondly, Summer is the time your parents mostly book holidays to other places. Nearby places like Fiji, the Gold Coast Resorts, and then there is the theme parks! So again you can have some family fun  in the water, Dads taking photos and mums going to the spa for peace and quiet which is always on their list ... never going to happen!

Next Summer is the time for pool parties with your friends and having sleep overs and sleeping in. Even though you are trying to keep your brother or sister out of your room!

Lastly, during Summer in Australia it's Christmas which means celebrating with friends and family.

Now you know why summer is the best season ever .... wait summer is ..... the GREATEST SEASON EVER!!!

Keep Summer going!!!!!

 

Hey today I am going to  persuade you  that you should come to Australia for Summer. Summer is the best season that you can see family and friends.

First of all you should come to Australia for Summer because you can go to the beaches on hot days and go surfing. You can enjoy the fresh air and water.  

In Summer you can go to the water parks like Jamberoo , the pools at Wet n Wild and Sea World. You can spend some fun times with family and friends at these water parks.

In this season you can go to parks, have picnics and bike ride with your family. You can bike ride to the park and play on the playground then after you can have a picnic with your family.

After all this activity in Summer you can go camping and have a tropical drink.

Last, but not least, you can enjoy Christmas and have a happy New Year. You can celebrate with family and friends in pleasant weather.

I think you come to Australia in the Summer because you can have good family time and have parties and a BBQ at the beach. I love having summer in Queensland because you can have friends over and have family time. I hope you are coming to Australia for Summer.
