Argument
Argument: The school board is considering reorganizing the school week. They are suggesting that there be four school days rather than five. Each school day would then be two hours longer. Support your position for/against this issue.
Agree (to shorten school week)
I would be for because you would have a three day weekend, including the last school day of the week, a four day weekend.
Disagree (not to shorten the school week)
More homework
Less time to hang out with your friends after school
I believe that the school week should not be shortened because students would have less time to sleep because of too much homework. Shortened weeks would mean that sports would go longer. Shortened weeks and longer days means that there would be no time for after school activities. Longer days mean that there would be no time for friends for after school.
Nursery Rhyme
On November 21, 2013, a simple family cottage got trashed by a little girl who goes by "Goldilocks". This all happened because Goldilock’s mother,Redlocks, sent her out to gather berries, but instead of finding berries, she found the cottage.This girl tasted their food and gobbled up the kid's food. She also sat in their chairs, but broke the kid's chair, and she slept in the kid's bed. We are searching the home to find anything else that she touched and will get rid of them IMMEDIATELY because Jeremiah Bear (Papa Bear) is allergic to humans. Right now, the bears' are in a hotel in Germany for a vacation. And Florence Bear (Mama Bear) is buying new toys for Tommy Bear (Baby Bear). Goldilocks has been sent to jail for questioning, while her mother is getting a vacation to the world's best spa resort in Africa.
Feature Story
HORSES
Everyone knows that horses are wonderful creatures, you probably do not know the interesting facts about them, though. If you're thinking about getting a horse, be prepared because they drink 5-10 gallons of water a day. If you don’t have a lot of horse food, get a lot because they eat 2 to 3 ½ percent of its own body weight. Horses love to eat, so when feeding a horse remember they all love to eat eggs, chaff, apples, carrots, bran, barley, linseed, corn, cod liver oil, root vegetables, oats, salt, seaweed, and dried sugar. Always make sure a stable door is locked real tightly because horses are smart to unbolt the stable door. Right after foals are born, they start to walk 30 minutes to an hour after they are born. Everyone knows a horse sleeps standing, but they can also sleep sitting too. A regular horse size would be 7 feet 2 inches, but that’s only like one out of 110+ different breeds. To take the pain away from the saddle, get a saddle blanket to make it comfy on their backs. Surprisingly, horses, donkeys, and zebras are all related, so they are all part of the Equidae family. Those fun to watch horse races on racetracks kill 25 horses every week. If you have an ornery horse, better get prepared because he’s going to live with you for 25-30 years.
