As part of your homework you are required to comment on one of the following statements. Choose the one that you feel most strongly about and put some thought into your answer. You need to write at least a paragraph, clearly stating your view and if you are for or against. Remember to use correct language and grammar (this is not Bebo or msn!!) and check your spelling and punctuation.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1. Rugby should be a sport at the Olympic games<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">2. The Olympics should not be held because of the risk of terrorism<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">3. Canada is offering their athletes $20000 if they win a gold medal, $15000 for a silver medal and $10000 for a bronze medal. Do you think New Zealand should do the same? What are the pros and cons of doing this?<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">4. Every single athlete from every country should be drug tested before and during the Olympics.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Remember to label your writing - I need to know who wrote what. I am looking forward to reading some interesting and valid arguments. Good Luck !! :)</span><br /></span></span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1583987089792159321-7244124245349012582?l=room9balmacewen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Miss Roneynoreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583987089792159321.post-89133283518458056052008-06-16T16:46:00.000-07:002008-12-09T23:48:26.598-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFccr2TDnrI/AAAAAAAAAGI/a7Bjryw_ROQ/s1600-h/P6060046.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFccr2TDnrI/AAAAAAAAAGI/a7Bjryw_ROQ/s200/P6060046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212666633340034738" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFccKd8QuKI/AAAAAAAAAGA/EQZpVx3nf4Q/s1600-h/P6060042.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFccKd8QuKI/AAAAAAAAAGA/EQZpVx3nf4Q/s200/P6060042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212666059866290338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFcbgEOWq-I/AAAAAAAAAF4/3ei1QW1rLig/s1600-h/P6060043.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFcbgEOWq-I/AAAAAAAAAF4/3ei1QW1rLig/s200/P6060043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212665331408350178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFca7Rw3fdI/AAAAAAAAAFw/_gfEX-LRhA4/s1600-h/P6060034.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFca7Rw3fdI/AAAAAAAAAFw/_gfEX-LRhA4/s200/P6060034.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212664699387608530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFcaNwpiabI/AAAAAAAAAFo/FZzNFBcbku4/s1600-h/P6060036.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U1E6aZLlQgk/SFcaNwpiabI/AAAAAAAAAFo/FZzNFBcbku4/s200/P6060036.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212663917404383666" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After all of our hard work, we have completed our picture books!! <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Last week we went to Balaclava School to present to them our buddies who really enjoyed them. <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">All of the books look fantastic and you can be proud of how they turned out :)<br /><br /><br />Well <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">done to the following people who received Teacher Awards for their books:<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The First Day by Jess and Sophie<br />The Big Surprise by Michaela and Gabe<br />First Day at School by Ben H and Taylor<br />Daniel and Josh's Big Fight by Raymond and Harry<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Leave a comment about your pic book.
