Introduction

Bees are the most important creatures on this planet because they get pollen to create honey, without bees honey wouldn't exist and lastly bees are harmless creatures to the world.

We all know that bees get pollen and they take it back to the hive to create honey, except there is much more complex in that situation than it seems because bees take hard work to collect pollen a reason for this is that it might rain on that day or there may be strong winds. A bee could simply die just by collecting pollen that's what makes them the most important creature on the planet.

Another reason is that without bees honey wouldn't exist, that would be a complete nightmare if that happened because kids that love honey would get upset and parents would also get upset, some people might even get frustrated with the situation. An example for this would be not being able to eat honey on toast of eating honey with anything to be exact and that's why I think that bees are very important creatures.
Some people think of bees as dangerous creatures that gives you bee stings and give you pain and frustration it's like walking on pins and needles except it just how your body is feeling after a bee sting, for example bees are harmless because they would only sting you if they think you are harming them. What you do is just stay still and then let them fly away then you will know they aren't so harmful as you think.

bees are the most important creature on the planet because they get or collect pollen to create honey, without bees honey wouldn't exist and finally they aren't as harmful as you think.

Organise Ideas:

1. Health Risk
2. Sports Fans
3. Breathing

Introduction

 Drugs shouldn't be allowed in sport because of the danger to your body, it is also a health risk, sports fans will get affected and drugs affecting your breathing.

Some people may not give much thought to their health when playing sports other than eating healthy, drinking water and getting enough exercise, except having drugs in your system would be very upsetting to others around you, for example you might be feeling different not only physically but also mentally and spiritually.



Famous players wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for their fans cheering them on during a game. If your fans found out they had drugs in their body  fans could get very upset and feel very down.  When the drugs go down the drain (out of their system) fans would have more positive thoughts and stay thinking positive same with a smile on their faces.


Breathing is a key when playing a sport. The reason for this is oxygen into your lungs and it generates energy for you to carry on in the game, an example could be say if you are running and you breathing starts to slow down and you start to get a weird feeling this is why drugs shouldn't be allowed in sport.



As I said before drugs shouldn't be allowed in sport because of the affects it has on your whole body and your life. The symptoms have been shown in the risk it has on your health also known as health risk, the people supporting you also called sports fans and lastly your breathing and how it affects you.

Macbeth In English


Five questions about Macbeth.
1. Valiant soldier or violent schemer at the beginning?    

He was a valiant soldier at the beginning because he saved Scotland from the bad things like the war against the King of Norway.

2.Why is he obsessed with killing Banquo ( oh yeah Fleance to)

He is obsessed with murdering Banquo and Fleance because he knows that Banquo is starting to be very suspicious about what has happened so far in the play.  He wanted to kill Fleance so then Banquo's children won't become king and their wouldn't be any future kings in banquo's family.

3. He visits the witches a second time. why? does he react?

He visits them a second time because he wants to find out more prophecies about the future. His reaction would be him being happy about none of women born would harm him until the part about Burnham Wood coming up against Dunsinane Castle and he wanted more information about the of th visions he saw. 

4.Explain his decision to murder Lady Macduff & children (increasingly erratic & illogical behaviour)

The witches have told Macbeth to “beware Macduff,” so he thinks Macduff poses a threat to his throne. Also, Macduff has gone to England to help Malcolm (Duncan’s son) rally an army to return to Scotland and defeat Macbeth. In an attempt to get rid of this threat, Macbeth hires murderers to kill Macduff’s family, thinking that this will cause Macduff to submit out of fear and grief.

5.Is he nothing more than a “dead butcher” or do we the audience feel differently about him at the end?

The people in the audience has different opinions about Macbeth my one would be that he is nothing but a dead butcher who killed innocent people for what he wanted for himself and how he killed his own wife for a very harsh reason but in the end what's done is done.


Key adjectives:

Initially:

Courageous, Valiant:

But all’s too weak, For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name—Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valor’s minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseamed him from the nave to th' chops, And fixed his head upon our battlements 

Appears to be loyal, patriotic, noble:

Loyal: The service and the loyalty I owe in doing it pays itself.
Patriotic: O nation miserable with an untitled tyrant, bloody-sceptered.
Noble: If I say sooth, I must report they were As cannons overcharged with double cracks, So they doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe. Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds, Or memorize another Golgotha.

The Salvation Army Winter Appeal


How does the text construct a version of reality? 


This text can be constructed as a reality because the person/ child looks cold. The objects around her or him gives you a sign that she or he is living in poverty. I know that there are families out there in the world that are struggling because of poverty. One other reason could be they don't have enough money to provide them with the things they need.


What is the text about? How do we know?

This text is about the Salvation Army Winter Appeal. It is also about helping other families keep warm in the winter and having food. We know this by the objects around her and the colour scheme for example half of the Paige has bright and warm colours and the other side has dark and cold colours like black, white and grey. This in encouraging people to donate money to help people in need.
