ASB - Get Wise

ASB - Get Wise

Yesterday the year 8's went with Jeremy to talk about saving money and he gave really good points why we should. He was also talking about Jobs and how we could earn money, he was also talking about crossroad. Crossroad is about if we should take the easy road or the hard way. Never take the easy take the hard way so people know that you are a hard working and if you take the easy way people will think that you are a lazy person.
You can also earn money by doing chores at home if you get money at home and could also go around the neighborhood and ask people if they need some help with the lawn or help with weeding the garden. You can also sell stuff like doing a garage sale at your house or trade stuff with your friends. Jeremy was a good instructor about the notes and thanks to Jeremy for coming to our school.

Speech

How Smoking Affects People

Hi everybody this is my speech about how smoking affects people. This speech might help you and helping others not to smoke. So think to yourself when i'm saying my speech why you should not smoke. So don’t smoke when you are under age because you might just get cancer. Smoking can affect not just you but other people. Smoking can affect other because the ashes can fly around and other people can breath in.

Smoking can make you lose your lungs that can lead to cancer and smoking can also make you lose eyesight. The ash would go in your eye when smoking and is very bad for your health. Don’t even try it because it might be a habit for you. Lung cancer is one of the most deaths of people in American. The tobacco in the smoke harms every organ in your body and also is poisonous and toxic in a human body.

For New Zealand tobacco causes 4300 to 4600 deaths per year and can cause heart attacks as well. Tobacco as about 4000 chemicals in it and 43 known cancer causes. It has Rat poison in the cigarette, poisonous gas from a car exhaust and is used for keeping bees in. Every day in the U.S 4000 teens smoke and smoking right near a apple computer warns them. John Adams, 2nd president of the USA, started smoking at the age of eight.

Smoking can also affect your eyes and you could go blind and your blood pressure could go higher. Each day more than 3.200 smoke and if you are smoking don’t smoke near kids or older people. Smoking can also cost a lot of money because if you got a big family it won’t help.

This is how we judged who was going to speak in front of our class and in my group a had Sak'ae, Micaiah and Eric. The winner in our group was Micaiah and Eric, once everybody that had made it into the speech for a class we would choose two people to do the hall finals. We also had to do a Rubric about the Expression and loud clear voice and the others ones, I got 1 2 1 2.
