Academic Language Week 6 - Citizenship

Undocumented immigrants should not be given citizenship. They should not be given citizenship because they can have a very bad history and they can bring it with them and then it can cause problems. Whoever is involved in the process of getting a person legalized, should <b>VERIFY</b> that person's background before they enter the U.S. Even if they could <b>SIMPLIFY</b> the process, they still need to be very thorough with everything. Because we have had problems with terrorists in the past, they need to put the person's whole life in a <b>SEQUENCE</b> of events so they can figure out weather or not they should allow them in the U.S. For these reasons I think undocumented immigrants should not be given citizenship.

The types of fears that young people are going to face is finding a home. Young people are going to have to find a house they can afford and are going to have to pay for water, electricity, and insurance. Other fears they might have is finding a job and making enough money to pay your bills and feed yourself, also how your going to get to your job and back home. The worst part is leaving alone and when you do something wrong your parents aren't there to correct your mistakes, clean up after you, and baby you.

"Thank You M'am" Before You Read: Going Gets Tough

There is some truth to the saying “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Meaning, you have the choice to give up, or you can acknowledge what you have already achieved, how far you want to go in life. When bad things happen in l,ife you shouldn't give up, you try again until you get it. Your going to make mistake in your life its natural but you learn from your mistake and try not to do them again. Always try to prove people wrong show that your better and you won't give up. Not everybody is perfect there isn't a thing as perfect everybody makes mistake such as teachers, the greatest athletes and everybody else. When you do something wrong you put that thing in the past and move on and if it happens again do something different.

:"Thank You, M'am" Letter to Roger

Dear Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones,

 It's been ten years since I saw you when I tried snatching your purse. I just want to say thank you because if you would of never done that for me I would of still been in the streets trying to steal peoples purses. That night I got home and told my parents what happen and they were mad at me, so I went to my room and thought about what I did. I started doing good in school and got a job at a store and started making money so I can get things I wanted. Will I'm sorry for what I did, if it wasn't for you I would be the same dummy boy out in those streets
     
                                                  from Roger.

Dragons Den:Life Lesson

A life lesson I learned the hard way is when my mom told me to stop put on shoes outside the house. I used to think that I would never cut my feet. Then, I step on a nail and it hurt so bad I started crying. Since I was small they took me to the hospital and had it remove.I learned that when I go outside to wear shoes because you'll never know what you might step on. So when you go outside wear shoes so you don't step on a nail or something it is painful

Dragons Den: Power Outage

On Thursday evening, I was outside the girls rec watching the football team practise when suddenly I saw Alex and he said that the lights had gone out and at first didn't bother me because it was day time. I got bored watching the team practise so I went home and they were playing cards because there wasn't nothing to do, so I played cards too and then stop because I got bored. At dinner time they mad pbjs for dinner because the stove didn't work. At study time I went to girls 103 to do homework and it started getting dark so I had to leave. Since the lights were out they open the caff and I went down there and watch the movie and talk to people. When I went home Mike, Drew, and me try going back to the caff but when we got close to the red barn staff saw us and sent us home. At the end I almost got in trouble but didn't and then went to bed

Dog Star

When I use to live in Vista with my old foster parents they had three dogs one was a Labrador and two German Shepherd. I favorite one was the Labrador because she was always so playful and cute. When I use to get in trouble in school and had to stay in the house she always kept me company. Sometimes I got into arguments with my foster parent and I was mad and she was there for me. When I was sad and I didn't want to talk to no one she was there, like she didn't judge me or say anything that was the best part she was there no matter what I did. There is a difference between your best friend and a dog your friend will be there for you but then they will ask you questions when your mad but a dog is there and wont say anything to you.

"The Most Dangerous Game" Sequel

I woke up in the Generals bed feeling very tired. I went to take a shower and then change into some clothe from the Generals closet. After that I went around looking in the castle because i was hungry and I couldn't find a way out. I walked into these two doors and in there, I saw everything I wanted to eat there was fruit, salad, meat, cereal, and bread. I made myself five peanut butter jelly sandwich and grab a cup of milk. After that I went to other rooms but there was only beds in them and clothe. I saw this weird door with a shiny reflection, I open the door and I couldn't believe my eyes. The whole room was fill with treasure, there was diamonds and everything you can imagine. I took a lot of treasure with me. Finally I got bored looking around so I started looking for the exit. After twenty minutes I was still looking for the exit I couldn't find it so I started getting frustrated. I sat down for a bit to rest. Then I heard this weird noice like dogs barking and then I see five dogs chasing me. I ran as fastes I could but they were getting close and one of them bit my leg and the other once jumped on me and stared biting me and then.....

Dragons Den: Shoes

My favorite brand of shoes is Nike. These shoes make my feet comfortable and are light shoes to wear. In case you have never seen them, these shoes are light and have a Nike swoosh logo on it. I wear these shoes on a regular basis because these shoes feel comfortable and look good. If I saw one of my peers wearing these shoes, I would compliment my peer.
