My Speech

We need to cut down on vermin

Statement
When you ask someone what animal they would wish to be, they probably say to be a bird, but in New Zealand being a bird is proving to be tricky. An estimated 25 MILLION native birds are killed every year by pest. It's all because of vermin [ vermin standing for mice/rats/possums etc ]. Cats are to blame as well and the majority of us, have one.

Paragraph 2
In NZ we have a high death rate of native birds and that's why they are mostly endangered, and it’s because of because of vermin. The vermin group mainly consist of: Mice, Rats, Stoats, Possums etc, and this group alone kill 25 million native birds a year. that amount of birds if exchanged as people would fill in the populations of the following: Bulgaria, Denmark, Singapore, Ireland and qatar altogether and still have some room left over. At this rate, sadly, we won't have any birds left in a few decades.


Paragraph 3
As well as NATIVE birds go, you have to remember all the other types of birds that get killed by the pests, and it's not just vermin that do this. CATS alone kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion , yes billion birds worldwide every year, yes they do kill more birds than cats. But let's not forget that 1.4 billion [ at the least ] is roughly the same amount of people that were living in CHINA from July 2016, or one 5th of the entire world population.


Paragraph 4

All everyone has to do is get a few mouse or rat traps to eliminate the vermin population and, they only cost a dollar fifty each and cheese  costs $9 per kg! Which is enough for a tonne of mouse traps. You could catch hundreds of mice and save THOUSANDS of birds and you can shoot and hunt possums, which is fun if you don’t have mouse traps, but anyway. That's my speech on vermin and hopefully New Zealand will do something about it.

Viking girl
Jess [ or the viking girl ] was going to a fancy dress up party with her two friends. When she got there she was greeted by one of her friends and her mother. She asked if she wanted some of the delicious chocolate and vanila cake that was sitting on the stand practically shining, it was just what she needed! She got a tenth of
The cake which is a pretty good portion I would say. When her other friend arrived she was just finishing off her cake and when her friend got a portion she got a ninth. When she saw this her nose screwed up  like nails and her ears went maroon, the rest of them saw this brewing in her face, a little bit of drool came out of here open mouth befo...WAAAAAAAAAAAA SHE GOT A BIGGER CAKE!! I WANT MORE LIKE HER WAAAAAAAAAA. The Mum tried to calm her down by giving her a teeny tiny piece of cake but she didn't care. Eventually she had to call her parents and on the way home she had a nasty frown wiped onto her face to whole drive back.

BANZAI!!

I was greeted by a group of men while boarding my airplane, my airplane was a Japanese a6m zero, perfect for the job im about to do. They help me get into my aircraft and start the engine. My death poem makes me feel better all pilots from our regiment were told to write a death poem, mine reads: Duty comes heavier than a mountain, death comes as light as a feather. They salute me when I taxi down the runway and take off, knowing that this is the last memory of land the rest will just be sea. Fred my mate in the regiment we flew next to each other and looked at each other but not in a casual way. We just stared at one another with bloodshot eyes the ships come into sight and then the loud bang and crunch of the AA guns on the ships. Fred gets nailed by 2 two 303 browning machine guns and his head flunks on his instrument panel. I aim my plane up and take  my arms of the stick, wrap them around my chest as the noise gets louder.Screenshot 2017-05-16 at 11.49.40 AM.png

I was a baker [ yes I was ] at a place called baker bob's, one time a customer came and ordered something of the new employee so I asked him, what are you eating? And he said something from one of the bakers he said and so I said “ oh well how does it taste?”Well how should it taste?! “ he said with a bit of aggression.

I decided to leave him alone but when I did he started to turn green “ Is there something wrong with it or is it you I said “ and with that he just walked out of the shop.

Insect Writing.

Insect Writing.

Once there was a spider but it wasn't just a spider it was a sydney funnel web whose nest had just been stomped on by a human.He growled and snarled in disbelief,”Stupid humans”,said the spider.”I will avenge my nest by stabbing him with my awfully huge fangs!”,said the sydney funnel web.So he ran inside and just as he got through the door he nearly got squashed the human went”AHHHHHHH”, and freaked out he ran on a couch and grabbed a broom.The spider ran to the nearest dark enclosed space which was under the couch and made the human jump and get even more freaked out he panted and panted and ran from couch to couch and from chair to chair and he never got bitten.But on the 31st rotation he stayed on too long not knowing about the spiders secret plan the spider would bite every time on one of the couches and just on that rotation he got up the couch and bit the human in the butt and that was the end of him,he would die in ten minutes and that was that and the spider scurried back to his nest.
