Reading T3 W3 Sports: What is your point of view?
Why sports is better than music.
This is my work for T3 W3 and it was persuasive writing. It was if whether sports is better than music.
If you were to ask me, is sport better than music, I would say “Yes.” Here are some reasons why.
Firstly, playing sports may help reduce body fat. If you have a good amount of body fat it could be beneficial to your health. For example it lowers the risk of diabetes. Also if you have too much body fat it increases the risk of heart disease.
Secondly, sports helps with lots of skills. Sport teaches tenacity. Basically, if you fail in sport, or you make a mistake, you can learn from it. If you learn from your mistakes it can help you become a better player. Also, another skill that sport teaches you is teamwork. Plenty of sports are team sports and it helps with teamwork. For example, in netball, you’re always passing the ball to each other to get it to the other side of the court so that you can get the goal. Also in rugby, you keep passing the rugby ball to the other side of the field so you can score the try.
Thirdly, sports can help with depression. Doing exercise regularly can help with depression. Studies have shown that doing exercise releases feel good endorphins, natural cannabis-like chemicals and other natural brain chemicals that can improve your sense of well-being.
Finally, sports can help with social skills. Through sport you can meet other people that have the same hobbies as you. You can interact with them and develop social skills. This is important because for example if you were having a job interview, you already developed social skills to talk confidently. But if you hadn’t then you would probably stutter a lot and you would be very shy.
These are the reasons why I enjoy sports more than music. But honestly, I like both a lot. I just enjoy sports more.

I have something to say! Writing T3 W2
This is my writing for this week, and we got to write a letter to someone about what they want to change. I wrote to the Rainbows End CEO (Karen Crabb) about adding more rides to Rainbows End.
