When the world became vegetarian.
This is my writing for T3 W8 and our topic to write about was if everyone in the world was vegetarian!
N.L: to narrate
RT: add key vocabulary
One fateful day, in the meadows, a livestock farmer was about to slaughter a cow for steak. Unexpectedly, the cow said in a deep demonic voice “Mortal, do not kill me. I will not withstand your foolish species. I have seen you slaughter my family. Turn into vegetarians, or else I will have to take drastic measures.” The farmer froze in surprise. He hadn’t seen anything like it. He ran away to the mayor. At first he didn’t believe him. But then once he had shown him the cow, he immediately came in contact with the prime minister. Soon the whole population heard this news and they swapped to vegetarianism. A boy named “Jimmy” was a victim of this cruel practice. Here is his sorrowful story.
I remember on the day that everyone was vegetarian, people were out of jobs. My dad was a butcher back then and he had to shut down. My mom was a stay at home mom so we didn’t earn any money. My mom and dad had to find a job quickly, but it would take a while. I was anxious about how we weren't making any money. What if we suddenly ran out of food and we couldn't afford to buy anymore. Then after that we would just starve to death, until our body rots into nothing but bones. But I'm probably overthinking it. That has a very low percentage of happening. It took one month for him to get a job. But what was really crazy was what happened in that one month. Other than the fact that we weren’t getting any income, life was fine. We had tons of food and we still had an average amount of money. We still knew we had to be vegetarian so we bought fruit and vegetables. Soon all that fruit and vegetables would be gone. Since the whole population was vegetarian the supply for fruits and vegetables was running low. I remember saying to my parents “Don’t worry! We can still eat grains and dairy products!” But due to the amount of people buying grains and dairy products, they rose up to absurd prices.
Loads of people were out of food, including my family. The average human being can survive without food for 8-21 days. If you have active water intake you can expand it to 2 months. Also with this information in mind, the fastest vegetable to grow is a radish which takes 21 days to grow. As soon as the radishes came in store the government passed them out to civilians. We were lucky enough to get our hands on some and we could eat again. But others weren’t so lucky. At this point people started to get desperate and ate any source of food which wasn’t meat. The unfortunate people started fighting for their food and at this point it was getting crazy. At that moment, I had an epiphany. What if during this moment, society was falling apart. Slowly, town by town, city by city, country by country, we were slowly falling to our inevitable doom. This alone just proves how in our last moments, people show who they truly are. It wasn’t long before they got arrested and ate food in jail. Our family decided to start our own farm and grow our own veggies and fruits with these seeds we bought from Mitre 10. We had enough radishes to last us until they grew. We figured that if a cow’s lifespan is 18-22 years then we just had to keep repeating this until he died of old age. During those 21 years, I quite enjoyed being vegetarian. I finally appreciating fruit and veggies, as those were one of the only things that kept me alive. But do you know what is better than that? A good medium rare steak.
Eventually he died and we got to eat meat again. That my friends is when the entire population of the world became vegetarian.

Heroes VS Villains! T3 W7 LCS
This is the LCS made for online learning for T3 W7 and our topic for this week is Heroes VS Villains. I think this might be my favorite one this term!

Deku VS Bakugou T3 W7 Writing
This is my writing for T3 W7 and our topic was Heroes VS Villains so I decided to narrate the battle between Deku and Bakugou in Volume 2 MHA.
For context:
Quirk = Superpower
One for all = Deku's Quirk
This is from Deku's point of view.
NL: To narrate
RT: precise verbs
I can’t believe it, we’re doing battle training! I’ve been preparing for this for quite some time. Ooh, here comes All Might! “Hello students of Class 1-A! Today we are doing battle training. Indoor anti-personnel battle training. The villains will be hiding a nuclear weapon in the hideout. The villains either protect the bomb until the time runs out, or capture the heroes. The heroes either have to capture the villains, or secure the nuclear weapon. We will be separated into pairs of two. Heroes and Villains.” He puts people into groups of two. I was paired with Uraraka. All Might gave each pair a letter of the alphabet. Me and Uraraka got “A” Once that was settled, he would announce who would be fighting. “The heroes are team A, the villains are team D!” It took a while for me to realize who was in team D. Tenya and Bakugou. The villain team goes in first. When the timer starts in five minutes the hero team has to sneak in. The rest of the class will watch via cctv.
I was scared. I was scared because when me and Bakugou were younger, he was always the superior one. He and his friends always bullied me for not having a quirk. I always felt like the odd one out. But now that will change. I will prove to Bakugou that I can be as cool as he is, and as strong as he is. We discussed our plan then once the timer started we snuck inside the building. I think to myself “I can’t control One for all, so we’ll have to manage with my natural strength, and Uraraka’s zero gravity quirk.” There were lots of blind corners so we had to watch out. As soon as I thought that Bakugou came from a corner and sneak attacked us. BOOM. Luckily I was fortunate enough to dodge his attack as I had only gotten a graze. He tried to right hook me, but luckily I knew better. I counter-attacked and I grabbed his right arm and threw him on the ground. I always take note of the heroes who I thought were awesome. While me and Bakugou were fighting, Uraraka went off to try to secure the weapon, to increase our chances of winning. But Tenya was a very competent defender. He took note of Uraraka’s quirk to levitate things she touched, and used it to his own advantage. He got rid of all of the objects in the room.
Time is running out and if we don’t secure the weapon in time, we will lose. But then Bakugou said something. “The sweat glands on my palms secrete stuff like nitroglycerin. That's how I make my explosions.” He’s not going to do it…. Is he? BOOOM ! Bakugou’s quirks allowed him to store that fluid to create explosions. The more he stores, the bigger the explosions. Uraraka thought that this would be a perfect time to make a move. All she had to do to secure the weapon was to touch it. She leaped over Tenya’s head and as she was about to touch the weapon, Tenya stole it right off her. Uraraka was counting on me. But Bakugou wouldn’t stop until I was dead. He kept on beating me up, he wouldn’t stop. I felt this feeling of hopelessness, that I should just give up. I will never be as good as Bakugou anyway. But there was a spark of determination. A spark that I felt, that said I should keep going. I had a plan. Uraraka’s quirk allowed her to levitate anything she touched. So I decided to do All Might’s signature attack. Detroit Smash. This would allow plenty of debris from the building to rise up above where Uraraka was and allow her to use her quirk. “DETROIT…. SMASH!!!!” The ceiling burst open, with debris everywhere. Uraraka used a super attack called “Comet Home run” and all the debris flung towards Tenya. This gave her enough time to touch the weapon.
Heroes..WIN!
After the battle, All Might announced that the V.I.P in this battle. It was Tenya. My classmate Momo explained why. Bakugou’s attacks were purely motivated by his hate for me. She also explained that using catastrophic attacks indoors was foolish. My performance suffered from the same faults. Uraraka lost focus halfway through the battle, and her attack was way too hazardous. She said that if it were a real nuclear weapon that attack would be unthinkable.

Should we open our borders? T3 W6 LCS
Wednesday, September 1, 2021
Why we shouldn't open the borders
Here is my writing for W6 T3 and our topic is about whether we should open the border. My opinion was that we shouldn't and here is my writing to defend that statement.
NL: To persuade
RT: Add a conclusion
Should the NZ government open the borders to other countries? With what's currently happening, I don’t think so. Here are some reasons why.
First of all, we already have lots of cases. We shouldn’t open our borders because considering the state we are in, we don’t want more cases. We are getting lots and lots of new cases everyday and people coming in from other countries and then they will spread it to us, then we will spread it to everyone, repeat. Also if it is the delta variant, then it can spread to 5 people. Then those people will spread it to 5 other people which is already a total of 25 cases.
Secondly, other countries have made a mistake opening the border. The UK has opened their borders to give “freedom” to their country but it will just get rid of their freedom. Currently, have the 5th most covid cases. The government has stated that “ we shouldn’t treat Covid-19 like the flu” and that is true. Because if we do otherwise, then we’ll have double the cases we are getting everyday.
Finally, it would overwhelm all the health care workers. If we were to open our borders, there would be too many cases. Which means that hospitals will be all clogged up and the essential workers (the nurses and doctors) would be overwhelmed with how many people there are and they will overwork themselves, which is very harmful to their mental health.
Here are the reasons why we shouldn't open the border. It is just too much of a risk due to all of these unfortunate things, (which are most likely going to happen) if we open the borders.
I enjoyed this activity because it was fun asking for my siblings opinion on this topic.
Should NZ open the borders?
The song when NZ opens their border.
For one of the creates on the LCS we were asked to write a song when NZ opens their border. So here's my song.
