If we didn’t have values
Caring: if no one cared everyone would think about themselves. There would be no hospitals, laws or marriages. There will be no food for everyone humans’ plants and animals will wipe out quickly.
Perseverance: no inventions. Everyone will give up at the first hurdle. No books or new businesses. No new big adventures like climbing a mountain or travelling the world
Respect: people would not be nice to each other. Everyone will joke and swear a lot more. No one will help old people by giving them a seat. Different colours for different countries.
Responsibility: the world would be polluted. Everyone would steal because there are no laws. More unsolved crimes.
Honesty: lies all the time. Never know who to believe. Can’t trust anyone.

Chapter: 1 Dracula the vampire.
“BANG, CRASH, BOOM!” I woke up with fear!
“I’m sure I heard something,” I whispered in a shaky voice.
“BOOM, CRASH, SMASH, BANG, THUMP!”
“There’s that noise again”. I said with a shiver. I was shocked with fear. I went to pat my cat then all of a sudden he turned into Dracula (vampire that plays in a famouse movie)! “You shall not escape me”. He boomed with his powerful voice.
His teeth and nails were long, sharp knifes! His glooming red eyes glowed through the dark as his big black cape dragged along the ground.
I raced outside quickly but the vampire just followed. I saw him coming and hid in a dark, green bush. His razor sharp, black hair whooshed through the air as the vampire raced around quickly looking for me. I was the only human left on earth...
I saw dracula pull his cape over his whole body and Then the vampire vanished into thin air, but I noticed some light green fog floating around. As I had been seeing that nasty vampire, I had noticed that on the top of his bulky, black cape, there's was some writing in bold that said CHARLEY BINKS in capitals. Just then, I heard a powerful voice that came out of nowhere that said “I will catch you Kaleb.” It was Dracular.
“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!” He evilly laughed. Just before I was about to run off...

Are you a teacher that always gets frustrated when it comes to putting in an internet password? Having to run back and forth daily and having to be interrupted and forced to stop educating other students in the in the class must just to let kids have access to the internet for research or other uses. Even worse, what if you muck up entering the internet password and have to do it more than once, and then come back to your group you were teaching and forget what you were explaining to them. That would be frustrating! If you didn’t have an internet password, all that hassle of putting in an internet password, all the hassle of typing in the internet password (which has a combination of letters and numbers) would disappear and your class would have a good flow of learning. So internet passwords are a way of teachers looking for hassle and frustration.
What I think I did well: I stated my point of view with a good title sentence and with a sentence at the end stating my point of view. I also backed up my opinions with some good facts and emotive words.
Improvements: Next time I could probably use more emotive words and back up my opinions with more facts and possibly a telly chart which shows how much teachers prefer internet passwords and no internet passwords.

Is your school all shabby looking and torn with smashed windows or an orphanage for rubbish? Our school is the total opposite to that! Thanks to Gary Huitema, our school is always tidy. Guess what? Gary never gets a holiday! Instead, he does lots of jobs. Let me tell you about them. Enjoy reading!
Have you ever had to medicate a bad smell like sulphur, or had to pick up the repulsive left behinds that a snotty nosed kid hooved up daily? Well, our school caretaker Gary (Gaza, the world’s best caretaker) does all that repulsive gross work, plus, Gary supervises the disco, then cleans up all the squashed, slimy sauce covered chips and fizzy drinks that kids have spilled all in the school hall after the disco. He also cleans up half kid’s lunches that kids have dropped around our school. Scrubbing graffiti off the walls during the weekend/holidays is also one of Gary’s nasty jobs. Ever picked up a human Shrek (poo)? I didn’t think so. Gary has. In fact, Gary has picked more than one and more than one slimy, repulsive, gooey, yellow, squishy, grotty vomit that pollutes the air with its army of mouldy stench. But when there seems no hope, Gary the cleaner rescues the school from defeat in mould. The mould is no match for his cleaning skills! He is the best caretaker to clean. Most caretakers don’t clean but Gary does.
Does your school have new fresh buildings or playgrounds that your caretaker helped construct? Our school has a fresh new class room, a brand new playground, and our caretaker Gary helped construct them. He helped build equipment like a climbing wall, and he doesn’t even have building qualifications! When a class performs, we have exquisite props to make the performance look more alive. Does your school have broken fences? Or bent fence posts that are shabby, stink, look sloppy and torn with mould growing on them? We don’t. Our fences are in perfect shape. We have steps that go to our classrooms and new, child designed enviro gardens that have beautiful flowers. Gary is a modified Bob the Builder. If I were him, I’d sure feel exhausted!
Does your school caretaker go the extra mile to help out? We have lots of help around our school. Gary is always giving a helping hand to people, even in his own, spare time! He even helps teachers with their DIY (do it yourself) and get’s sport equipment off the roof for kids that accidently hit them up there and puts his own life at risk to help children cross the road! Gary always mows the field to make sure the grass isn’t too long and marks out the tracks for athletics day. Thanks to Gary, the interschool rugby team has a trainer because no one else volunteered to train them. Gary is one helping hand legend.
So there you have it. The best caretaker in Rotorua by far is Gary Huitema at Lynmore School. He is a legend! Is your school caretaker as good as Gary? As if!
