Academic Language Practice Paragaph 6

Undocumented immigrates shouldn’t be given citizenship because it’s not fair that regular citizens have to work hard and pay taxes when they could just come here and not have to pay taxes like everybody else. Its also not fair because some people that are looking really hard for a job gets their opportunity taken away by someone that comes to California by illegal SEQUENCES. Also if a citizen gets pulled over by a police officer they are asked to give their license and registration to VERIFY their identity but if an illegal citizen is asked they can give it to the officer without worrying because they could get a license and ID in the state of California. One last reason undocumented immigrants shouldn’t be given citizenship is because they could just come here and SIMPLY be named a citizen when a lot of people are trying their best to be named a legal citizen.

"Two Kinds" Jing-Mei's Shoes Paragraph

If someone was pushing me to become a prodigy piano player I would feel overwhelmed. I would react as if at first I liked the lessons but if I truly didn’t want to be a piano player I would stop going to the lesson because I know suck and it’s not my thing. I would tell the person that I will go and try it out. And after a couple of days of going if I liked the lessons I would g but if I didn’t like the lessons I would drop out. And if I do drop out I would tell the person that I was sorry and it wasn’t my thing. Becoming a prodigy would sort of help me because I would be doing something I like and something I’m really good at. But it would also harm me because it would make me feel like I’m letting people down by not being what they wanted me to be.

"two kinds" something you didnt want to do

I was in an alley behind my cousin’s house. We were playing with fire works and cherry bombs and he decided to get the idea of put cherry bombs and other fireworks in a glass bottle and throw them in the neighbor’s back yard. The problem was I didn’t think he would have me throw the bottle over the gate I expected him to do it because he came up with the idea. At first I felt scared because I thought the neighbor might be right there and when I threw the bottle he would come out and catch us. But after everything I ended up throwing the bottle over the fence because I couldn’t handle pure pressure that good. I felt kind of ashamed because the bottle exploded and shattered all over his back yard.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 5


Vaccinations should be required for all children because some parents and cautious about their Childs health in a POSITIVE way, so a parent might want to give their child vaccines just to be safe. Another reason vaccines should be required is because if a kid doesn’t get a vaccine ESTIMATE how many schools the child will get enrolled in. One last reason vaccines should be required is because if a child doesn’t get a vaccine when they are little and their parents try and enroll them in school they wont be able to get in because they didn’t get the proper vaccines and how does that ILLUSTRATE the parent

"Everyday Use" Before You Read: Tradition

Fifteen years from now, I will wake my kids up early in the morning on Christmas day and tell them that Santa left presents for them under the tree. This tradition involves me wrapping the kids gifts when they are sleeping and when I’m done put them under the tree early in the morning before they wake up. One of my happy memories of this tradition is that my dad and grandma did this for me and my brother, and when we woke up we were super excited to open our presents that we just ripped open the gift wrap to see what was inside. I will share this with my children by doing the same thing my dad and grandma did. By sharing this tradition with the future generation, I hope that my kids will do the same with their children and so on and so forth.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 5: Life Lesson

A life lesson I learned the hard way is what comes around goes around but twice as worse. I used to think smacking my little cousins and brother in the back of their heads every time we played tag would be funny so I would smack them super hard and then I would laugh at them.  Then one day when we were playing I was looking for my cousin because he was it all of a sudden I felt a really hard thump on the back of my head and I fell to the floor grabbing my head and it turns out my little cousin grabbed a dictionary that was on the shelf and smacked my in the head with it as hard as he could and laughed at me. Now I know every time I do something to someone be careful because it might happen to me but worse.

Dragons den power outage

On Thursday evening, I was out front watching the football team practice when suddenly someone told me that the volleyball team was playing in the gym without lights. In response I said why and I was then told that the power was shut off. Then I went to the gym because I had to work in the snack bar and saw that they were really playing in the dark. Later on I went home and was told that there is something going on in the café because the lights went out. When the power came back on, I woke up because before I went to sleep I turned my light switch on but forgot the power was out so while I was asleep the lights turned on and woke me up

“The Pedestrian” Before You Read: Life in 2053

In 2053 life in America might be awesome because by then they might have flying cars and new sports some people will never know. In 2053 people are looking forward to flying cars because in some of the movies like “Robo Cop” they have flying cars and robots as cops so that is why they might be looking forward to flying cars. And America might have new sports because we have football now but imagine football in 53 year what it would be like. The players with high tech gear and cleats, playing in a stadium that fits one billion people in it that would be exciting to attend and see how the game transformed.

“The Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” Minute Paragraph

I was getting warmed up for my first high school football game against Cali patria hornets. I saw the fans that were coming to support our team and I saw some other fans sitting in the stands with posters for the players. I also saw the other team warming up on the other side of the field just like we were, but some of their players were talking to their coach and some were just stretching individually. During that time I was thinking about what I will do if I drop and easy pass or if I fumble the ball when we need the first down really bad. I was also thinking what will happen if I got injured because that was my biggest fear me getting injured in a game and not being able to play for the whole season.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 2: Shoes


My favorite shoe brand has to be a tie between Nikes and Jordan’s. The reason its a tie is because Nikes have shoes that look good for going out to the movies or a special dinner and they also have shoes that look good for playing basketball or any indoor sports. But Jordan’s are the same because they have shoes that are good for dinners, going on dates and for playing basketball also. But those arent the only reason I like those shoes I like them because their shoe designs are nice and unique thats what makes me like their shoes. Nikes have the check mark and they make it look good on any shoe with any color and Jordans have the Michael Jordan symbol on the side of their shoes and they also make it look good on all of their shoes with any color. So those are my favorite shoe brands.

“Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” My Yellow Paper Paragraph

The item I would risk my life for would be a picture of my dad and grandma. One reason why I would risk my life for the picture is because ever since I was a little kid my dad and grandma were the two people that raised me because my mom left the day after I was born. Another reason is because they both passed away when I was seven years old and now that is the only thing I have to remember them. One last reason I would risk my life is because I think anyone would risk their lives for a picture with their grandma and dad if it’s the only memory they had of them. I keep the picture in a safe place everyday and when I get back from going somewhere I look to make sure its there so that is how I keep my item safe.
