Academic Language Practice Paragaph 9

In my opinion I think junk food shouldn’t be banned from school vending machines because most of the time the money that goes into the machine ends up going to school funds because it’s another STRATEGY a long side fundraisers. I also think it shouldn’t be banned because the food in the machines could be an ALTERNATIVE instead of the lunch or breakfast the school serves. One last reason junk food shouldn’t be banned is because the machines have been in the school for a while and it wasn’t a problem in PREVIOUS years. So that is why I think junk food shouldn’t be banned from school vending machines.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 8: Friends or Adults?


In my life, caring adults are more important because they care about me and the mistakes I make in my life. One reason is if adults didn’t care about me and what I do I would be some teenage boy that always gets into trouble and is a bad influence on kids that are trying to do good things instead of bad. Additionally adults that care for their kids are doing the right thing for their children because they are getting them a good education. One last reason is if all the adults didn’t care about what kids do in their life and let them go around doing whatever they wanted to do who knows what might happen. I let these people know I appreciate them by always listening to them and doing what they tell me to do because they always listen to me when I have something to say and they help me out when I have a problem or if I’m in a tough situation.

Biographical Narratives - Housemates Character Traits

Carlos R is very isolated because all he does is play video games in his room. The only time I see him Is when he comes out his room to eat and when he gets boerd of games. Rigo is very bold. I chose the trait bold because every time someone tells him something he has something rude to say. Carlos G is very artistic becasue when he has time to draw he will take that time to draw something and make it look good. Brian B is very ignorant because when he is told something most of the he will do the opposite just to get a reaction out of that person. Drew is very humoris because everyday when he is in class he will always crack jokes and make people laugh and some teachers laugh with the students. Michael is very melow person because he is not mean but could be at some point in time if you talk a lot of smack to him. And Tamarcus is very argumentitive because every time someone says something he will put his opinion in and argue with that person if he tinks the person is wrong.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile


Teenagers should set their networking profiles to private for their own safety. Students should set their profiles to private because if they have a friend or person that is looking for them they could easily go on the computer and Google up your name and your profile might pop up. Students should put their profiles on private because all their business is out for the whole world to see and if they accept someone they don’t know they could be in real big trouble because that person could be a kidnapper or a criminal. If a student doesn’t put their profile on private then I recommend they should because I know they don’t want their business to go out to the whole world, I would take advantage of the privacy police they have for social networks because it allows you to chose who you want to accept people you know and not some strangers.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 7

In my opinion I think the popularity of vampires in literature and movies are fading away because not a lot of movies have PLOTS with vampires in them. The reason movies don’t have vampires in them is because ever since Dracula a lot of movie directors are trying way to hard to keep the vampire stage alive but its just getting old and vampire movies aren’t a FACTOR now. One last reason I think the popularity of vampires is fading away is because before people use to like talking about them and writing about so people could be fascinated about the subject but now its old they don’t have a VOICE in the subject any more those are some of my opinions about the popularity of vampire fading away.

"two kinds"analys paragraph

In the story "two kinds" jing mei is the main character and one trait that describes her is disrespectful. The reason that I choose this trait is because whenever her mom wants her to try something new she always talks to he mom in a rude way instead on telling her mom in a nice way that she doesn't think her idea is a good idea.
Jing meis actions towards her mother are unnecessary because she could talk to her mom in a polite tone of voice instead of shouting and disrespecting her mom every time her mom chooses an idea for her daughter of becoming a prodigy.Jing meis appearance is she is a small Chinese girl with a messed uP hair cut because her mom wanted her to be like sherrly temple. Some of her thought are that she will never be a prodigy of anything because she never wants to listen to her mom. Some feelings she has is that she feels like her mother is trying to boss her around and she doesn't like it.One thing jing mei said in the story is that she wishes she was dead like her other siblings after her mother forces her to play the piano after a bad recital she had the day before.jing mei is like a real person because there are people in the world that don't like to try in anything they do.

" two kinds " mother daughter conflict

The conflict between Jung-mei and her mother is that her mother wanted her to be a perfect prodigy like all the other little kids that she reads about in some of the magazines she reads. For example she wants king mei to be a prodigy of sherrly temple so she cuts her hair and ends up giving her a bad hair cut. This shows that all the mother wants to do is find something her daughter is good at. This also shows that Ning mei can't be a prodigy of sherrly temple because she has a bad hair cut and she can't sing.In addition her mother sighns her daughter up for piano lessons.This shows that if her mother thInks that her daughter isn't good at singing then she could be good at playing the piano. This also shows that all her mother wants to do is find something her daughter is good at because she wants her daughter to be a prodigy like other kids she reads about n magazines.Jing mei and her mOthers actions are different because her mother wants her to do something that will make her succesful but king mei doesn't take anything serious.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 6: Campus Donations

I feel very grateful about the people who donate money and supplies to San Pasqual Academy because it shows that they care for kids like us and that we don’t have to use old supplies that are on the verge of breaking because we used them for so long. And when they donate things like the football field it makes me feel thankful because if it wasn’t for them the whole team would have to go all the way to Romana for home games but now that we have a field on campus we don’t have to travel that far. I also feel grateful because if the people who donated thing to us didn’t care then we wouldn’t have the proms that we have every year, and we wouldn’t have most of the campus because this whole campus was built off of donations people gave to SPA.
