Advertising Video

Today we looked at some advertising T.V videos in class. We picked our favorite video and we rotated to look at others favorites too. So my homework is to choose one of my classmate's favorite videos and to write about it.
This is going to be about Maya's favorite ad. The purpose of this ad is to stop people from smoking and what happens to you. The target audience for this ad is for smokers who are mostly young adults and also adults. It's effective because the video teaches people how smoking is really bad for you and your health and it can even kill you. And the video is very funny and the song is very catchy too.

Any questions VS. You can lie

If someone asked me to choose if I could lie or ask any questions, I would DEFENATELY say ask questions. My choice is to ask questions because it helps me better doing correct things. If I lie it sometimes makes EVERYTHING WORST!

The picture that is shown above is the AWESOME PLASTIKI! the boat is made out of recycled plastic bottles but not all of the parts of the boat is made out of plastic bottles only the bottom part. Their goal is to sail the Plastiki from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia an 11 thousand mile journey don't you think it's cool?
David de Rothschild came up with the idea of the Plastiki and it took him 3 years to build this amazing boat Plastiki. It took him 3 years to build it because first he has to sketch the model of the Plastiki then he built it. He said that we should start using waste as resource. The Plastiki is actually made out of 12,500 plastic bottles that is a lot! In the Plastiki there is a quite big cabin in there and also they put a small vegetable garden which is cool.
David de Rothschild built the Plastiki because he wanted to make it out of waste like he said using waste as resource.

The 10 Facts About The History Of Haiti

1. Long ago on the 6th of December 1492 Columbus discovered Haiti. In 1697 the French ruled Haiti. Haiti became one of the biggest sugar producing country. The Haitians worked as slaves at the sugar cane plantations.

2. I think that why is Haiti like this today because it is a very poor country it used to be rich but because some of the rich people took their money and that is why they become poor.

3. Haiti became poorer now because of the earthquake that happened. The earthquake was really big and it destroyed their homes.

4. Long ago besides sugar cane Haitians also produced cotton and rum which they supplied to French people.

5. There was a revolution and a leader by the name Dessalines who ruled Haiti from 1801. Mr. Dessalines did not rule the country well. He was a dictator people became very poor since then agricultural land destroyed and people became poorer and uneducated.

6. Did you know that before Haiti became the French colony it was a Spanish colony and the French defeated Spanish. Right now the population of Haiti is around 9,000,000 people. Haitians are mostly Christians.

7. Dessalines declared Independence in 1804 of Saint Domingue under the native name Haiti.

8. Dessalines killed a lot of French people who remained in that Island and made himself as an emperor as Jaques I.

9. Hatians became disstaisfied with Dessalines's rule and there was a revolt against him. He beacame tired and sick and could not rule the country anymore.

10. Dessalines died in the year of 1806. After his death Henri Christophe became king and calls himself King Henry I.

The Reptile Room

Lemony Snicket

*****

The three Baudelaire Orphans is now living with their uncle Monty. Uncle Monty is a herpetologist and he has a really BIG room filled with types of reptiles the room is called "The Reptile Room"

Uncle Monty wanted to bring the three orphans to Peru but when Uncle Monty's assistant arrived to his house something happened. Slowly and slowly Violet discovered that Uncle Monty's assistant Stephano is actually Count Olaf! Count Olaf shaved his hair and eye brows and put makeup on his eye tattoo of his ankle so no body knows it's him. Count Olaf wants to bring the three orphans to Peru and take their Baudelaire fortune by doing that he has to kill Uncle Monty and take his ticket.

Count Olaf almost brought the three orphans to Peru but the orphans discovered that Count Olaf injected one of the snake's venom to Uncle Monty's and made an extra hole on Uncle Monty's hand so it looks like a snake bite. The orphans told how Count Olaf killed Uncle Monty to Mr. Poe and Mr. Poe wanted to bring Count Olaf to jail but Dr. Lucafont brought Count Olaf with him but Sunny the youngest Baudelaire discovered that Dr. Lucafont is one of Count Olaf's friend so both of them escaped.

Now I can't tell you anymore because you have to read the book yourself.

My favorite part of the book is when Violet discovered that Stephano is actually Count Olaf and I love this book soooooo much that I think you should read it too.

We saw really pretty bed covers and nice pillows too. After that we ate ice cream in front Debenhams, we share one big ice cream in a big cup for 8 people. The flavor of the ice cream is Vanilla and Dark Chocolate and they also put in small pieces of chocolate bars on the top, the ice cream is really delicious and we all liked it.

It was about 9pm, after we dropped my grandma home, I decided to drop my relatives back in their house which takes me 1 hour from my house. In the car I was chatting with my cousin all the time then when we reached their home we continue to chat for a while. Then I went back home and slept right away in bed.
