My writing exam essay comments


I think that my writing exam, I have done all I can.  The writing exam essay looks really good also.  The only way is to write as much as possible and hopefully complete all four parts of an essay then I know that I have written a whole essay.  It doesn’t really matter too much if the essay is good or bad as long as I try to write more and faster.  By the time I have lots of words and all four parts or are finished.
This shows I have done my best for all essays that I write.  I feel it is really, really good that I study essays, know how to write four parts to finish a whole essay.  Have ideas given and thought of ideas and put all I know or learned about how to write essays together is the most important thing about writing essays.  I thought maybe it was not enough but the teacher already thought may be it was too much.

It is inorganic collection time

Every 2 to 3 years there is a time in June or maybe some other month where people put out inorganic rubbish for the Auckland City Council to collect.  The people throw away rubbish that is inorganic and you don’t need or want.  This happens in New Zealand.  All unwanted rubbish will be taken to the landfill. There are always times when some people throw the rubbish out. 
Some people look through the piles and piles of rubbish to see if there are still some rubbish that can be reused or fixed and take home.  This way it is very good for the environment. (Photo: RA)

My powerpoint presentation thoughts


I think that my powerpoint presentation, I have done my best.  My powerpoint slide were really good.  I just want to be able to go out there and say it or read it out loud even if I passed or not.  The most important thing is that I have can go out and have confidence to do or try to do the presentation. 

This will make me feel good or really good that when I do things doesn’t matter good or bad just try to have confidence to do things and the result are good or bad is still alright as long as I try to do things get them done and know that I have made achievements or achieve something.  The teacher said that the other students making a lot of noise, doing other things and also being noisy and going in and out and even just too much things, being distracting is very distracting and send them all outside to other places.

No room at the shelter


The kennels have all been filled up and some of the dogs have been staying there for months.  The SPCA Auckland is running out of space.  There are only 66 adults and 63 puppies that have now found their homes.  During the past three months, there have been 405 adult dogs and 225 puppies that are taken to the Mangere animal village. 
For some people, it is really hard when they cannot afford to feed and give shelter to these animals any more like how it used to be and also do not feel like they can have a choice.  During these times, whenever people are losing their jobs or just struggling to pay the bills, they do not even think about going to get a pet.  The owners are encouraged to desex their pets.  For example, if they need medical treatment and the owners cannot give these things to them.

My observation on giving presents


After all these year of giving presents to people and teachers I like or really like, I now have really thought of and found out the difference between the male and the female gender species of human after they have received the presents and when they will open them. 
I have been giving out presents or giving presents to people and mostly to the teachers I like or really, really like for years and years ever since I was in primary school.  Every time I have to buy presents and bring them with me in my bags, I feel like I have a mission and missions to complete.  I have to succeed in finish giving out all presents then I will feel happy and successful. 
The difference is that some males might open their presents straight away but most of them open their presents after so long later and also some females will open their presents after so long later but most of them open their presents straight away after receiving then from the giver. (Photo: KA)

Penguins’ new playpen


The Auckland zoo’s new little blue penguins and sea lion enclosure is home to six females and two males. 
There will also be another three birds in quarantine that are waiting to join them.  One of the keepers says more space means they can hold more than the staff they previously could and this gives them more options for breeding in the future.  She says that the feathered little friends blue penguins seem like they have settled in really well.  They are also really eating well and using the pool.  The area of the enclosure is larger than the previous one.  In the new enclosure other birds like shags and dotterels will also be inside.  (Photo: Wikipedia)

‘Bird lady’ award proposed


Pam Howlett was well known as Pamure’s bird lady.  During her lifetime, she has rescued tens of thousands of birds.  Every year she had been looking after 2,000 to 3,000 birds.  Ms Howlett was awarded the QSM this year but she passed away in July last year.  A friend of hers named Joy Edwards says that the bird lady has sacrificed her health when she took care of the birds at her home close to Panmure Basin.
Ms Howlett had spent 30 years looking after shag colonies.  The birds had broken wings and beaks and with hooks imbedded.  She knew more about birds than most vets do. (Photo:  RA)
