English In Santa's Defence

09/27/19, Friday

In Santa’s defence the kids' list read ‘velociraptor’, not ‘toy velociraptor’ Tell the story (as a story or poem)

As Santa was going through the wish list of kids he stumbles upon a weird request, he read the wish again to make sure he wasn't reading it wrong. He called one of the elves up to his office when the elf arrived he quickly spoke: "This list contains a velociraptor." said Santa the elf looked at the list closely "I've no idea." shrugged the elf, Santa rubbed his temples, head hurting from the crazy request. Who would request such a thing thought Santa but Christmas was coming fast and he can't waste time thinking about one request he quickly sent the wish to one of his elves.

When Christmas came a kid was wondering how a large gift box got into his house "Mum, Dad look I've got a large present!" said the kid eagerly. The kid with the help of his mum and dad unwrapped the large present. Surprised with what was inside a sleeping real velociraptor, scared, the parents quickly called the police but it was too late when the velociraptor woke up and ran straight through their wall causing havoc around town.

Santa was resting after the long night of going around the world, he was still thinking of the odd request he received from one of the kids. Then his telephone ringed, he got up his bed and picked up the phone "Hello?" spoke Santa with confusion mixed in his voice "Hello, Santa this is the police we wish to talk to you." said the guy on the other side of the phone "Oh, okay." Santa agreed without putting much thought to it. When he arrived he parked his sleigh in one of the vacant parking he went inside the police station. He was currently sitting talking to the police "Take a look at this." said the police showing pictures of a live velociraptor crashing around everything in town. At this point Santa was soaking with sweat "I can explain." Santa said while grabbing through his sack looking for a certain letter "Here you go." he handed over the letter "Oh, well can you fix it?" asked the police "I'll try." replied Santa, he rode his sleigh around town looking for the large creature.

When he saw the large velociraptor he sighed in relief he grabbed an empty sack and jumped on the velociraptor putting it inside the sack. He grabbed a ribbon and tied it around the mouth of the sack do the creature can't escape. Now the damage needs to be taken care of "Sorry Santa." said the police while hading over a cup of milk and a couple of cookies "I will see to it that I repair the damage on your town." said Santa while eating a piece of cookie "No worries, we can do it, I also told the kids to be specific on what they want."

Describe ways in which technology has changed over time. Explain how it is different from the technology we use today.
Technology has changed over time over time. In this essay, I will discuss the technology used by Romans, Egyptians and Cavemen. The technological advances include the creation of hieroglyphics, aqueducts and stone tools. These examples are gonna show how technology has advanced over time and how it’s different from our present technology.

Communication and writing are very important for humans a done of the earliest communication and writing is the hieroglyphics. You can see Hieroglyphics across Eqypt, the Rosetta stone that is filled with Hieroglyphics was found in 1799. This is important because without all of this we won't have a way to communicate and understand each other, hieroglyphics mainly used pictures as a way of telling what it is instead of the letters that we used today. Hieroglyphics used pictures to represent a letter while we use letters themselves.

   Aqueducts were built by the ancient Romans to deal with plumbing and to be able to get water. The ancient Rome aqueducts were big and spread out tunnels were used to deliver water through lines and bridges and then all across the valley. Compared to the modern plumbing which is smaller and could travel across everything, the modern plumbing was more complex with two separate subsystems one that delivers freshwater and one that takes wastewater out. We can see the difference between Ancient Rome's aqueducts and modern plumbing.

     Tools are helpful and can help us survive through tough times. The cavemen were able to develop tools that made them much powerful and live a longer life with the tools they made. They mainly used stones and sticks, they sharpen both the stones and sticks to make a weapon that could pierce through the skin. The modern tools we have today can be made out of different kinds of metals and are stronger and we have more materials we can use, we developed new long-ranged weapons like guns. Over time we developed different kinds of weapons and tools that helped us against predators.

This essay showed how technology evolved and the difference between modern technology and past technology. Hieroglyphics developed with a simple more version but many words were created. Aqueducts evolved to smaller and much more complex routes. Tools were made with stronger and longer-lasting materials. These are the ways technology evolved to what it is now.

English Workshop #2 Poetry and Musical Lyrics

09/26/19, Thursday

Anger, Confusion, Colour- Dull, A dark yellow.

No edges, it’s like a room you’re stuck in, an endless Circle.

It’s just silence where you have no one to talk to. 

It gives the feeling of warmth in your body, 

A lone animal that is trying to find its place.

It’s foggy where you can’t see anything from the distance, waiting for what comes next.

50 Word Lyrics:

• Have a go at writing your song with no more than 50 unique words in the lyrics.
• You can use the same word more than once without it counting. 
• Keep it simple. Repetition can be powerful.
• If you get stuck listen to ‘Love, Love Me Do’ by the Beatles that has only 19 unique words.

Stuck in an endless circle, the silence ringing through my ears, Stuck in an endless circle, with no one to talk to, Stuck in an endless circle. The warmth is taking over my body, I'm like a lone animal trying to find my place, I'm stuck in an endless circle.

   As technology improves the population of the human race has increased drastically. In the year C. 3500 BC the wheel was invented in Macedonia, the number of population was less than 1 billion then the internet was invented in 1990 by the United States the population then was around 5 billion. When more technology appears human population increases because it helps us with our daily lives, when our ancestors haven't discovered technology they were the prey at that time but when technology was discovered humans were able to survive using the tools they invented. Technology helped us survive the harsh weathers and help human civilization survive for millions of years with more technology we care able to survive against severe conditions.
