Opinion Essay

Q : Are blogs helpful in English class ?

T : Blogs are helpful in English class.

1. Blogs are helpful because you don't have to write by hand . (convenience)
2. Blogs are helpful because they spell check , date and put your work in order . (editing and organising functions)
3. Blogs are helpful because they save trees. (environment)

In my opinion, blogs are very helpful in English class. Compared to the old way of doing school work, blogs are much more convenient. They have many handy editing and organising functions. Finally, if all students used blogs the environment would be much better off. These are all reasons why I feel blogs are great in English class.

Blogs are helpful because you don't have to write by hand. Often after taking notes all day, my hand would get sore. Typing is much easier to do and I find I can get more work done. Also it's easier because i don't have to look everywhere for a pen or pencil when i loose them.

Blogs are helpful because they spell check , date and put your work in order. Sometimes I forget to date my work and then the teacher never knows when I finished my assignment, or I forget to spell check so I have tons of mistakes , which is not the best for my mark. Lastly there helpful because they put everything in order instead of having stuff everywhere in my books.

Blogs are helpful because they save trees. Saving the environment is really important these days so why not just a blog where youo dont have to print and waste paper or write and waste paper , its not like your teacher is going to keep your work forever and niether are you .

Short Story (Positive/Negative Character Traits)

    
    " OLLLIIIVVEERR !! , mom and dad need to talk to you " Ruby shouted with a sneaky tone of voice . Oliver came thumping down the stairs like a bear just waking up from hibernating , " Yes my lovely father and mother " he replied sarcastically . " Your father and I are going to see your aunt Linda for the night and well were gone we need you to watch your sister " , " But .. " Oliver tried to answer , " No buts about it we need you to do this for us and if you are a good babysitter we'll give you fifty dollars towards that new phone you want " Oliver's mother interrupted . Their mother and father walked into the kitchen.
" You have to do everything I tell you do Ruby , alright ? " Oliver commanded , " Actually no , I'll do what I want to do and you can just watch me " Ruby commanding back . As their parents returned back in , Ruby turned around , smiled and said sweetly " Mommy , daddy don't worry I'll do everything Olly tells me to do " she then turn and looked at Oliver with a devious look on her face and quickly looked back over at her parents and batted her eye lashes.

 
   After three hours of no sound not even a pin drop , out of nowhere Oliver heard a " BOOM , CRASH , BANG ! " from upstairs , Oliver bolted up the stairs thinking Ruby had hurt herself , but conveniently Ruby was fine , she had just been trying build a fort with all of Oliver's stuff. " What are doing with my STUFF ?! " Oliver shouted , " What ? , it's not like i broke anything important " Ruby said rudely , " Well i guess you didn't ....   EXCEPT MY XBOX ! " Oliver was so mad he didn't know what to do so he called his father to tell him about the whole thing , when Oliver was done talking , his dad asked to speak with Ruby , when Ruby got on the phone she said sweetly well pretending to cry " Daddy I'm so sorry i didn't mean to I wanted to build something where Olly and I could play " after that her father had told her it was fine and hung up.
" Ruby , I trusted you to be better than this " Oliver said disappointingly , " Olly I'm actually sorry it's just you never pay attention to me anymore " Ruby replied sadly , " Really , well I'll start to pay attention to you , but I do like our little fights like brothers and sisters have " Oliver happily said.

   After everything had been said the two of them built a fort , played in it and fell asleep. When there parents got home they were surprised to see the two together for once , so their mother lightly tapped Oliver's shoulder to ask how the night had been , Oliver replied " It was great I'll gladly babysit for Ruby anytime " his mother was in shock from the sentence he just said and she looked at him and shockingly said " Instead of me giving you the fifty do .. " Oliver interrupted " If I'm not getting paid because it was a good night then I'll never babysit again " Oliver's mother laugh and went on with what she was trying to say " As I was saying , since it was such a good night , I'm not going to pay you because instead I'll just buy you the new phone you want " Oliver's face lite up with excitement and he walked over to his sister , picked her up and put her in to bed , he kissed her so sweetly and gentle so she wouldn't awake and whispered " I love you " .
