Writing a piece of news

Stolen painting found by tree.

Now a day are doing more pranks because of the art teachers, like the new prank, that they paint a lot of trees of color blue, killing all the trees as a consequence. The art teacher says that the children need to be more creative.

We interviewed the teacher, and he say: "It is recommended that creativity in children, were much more stimulated by parents. However, the wild life has revived with all the color that has now the trees. But now, the environmentalist people are against of what says the teacher.

On the other hand, parents of children argue that: "They have to paint more trees for the creativity develops and have better grade on futures exams". But the environmentalists are against of what the parents say.

Environmentalists are creating a society to fight all the people who do bad things that kill the environment, including the children who kill the trees.

Scientists are studying that kind of situation and they say that parents are the problem behind the bad children that are creating the entire problem in the environment.

MY CAPTION:

"Kids who view violents acts are more likely to show aggressive behaviour but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad wil happen to them".



                                                                         
                                                         









CLASSROOM LEARNING:

There is a question that is very important in the children nowadays, that is: "Videogames cause an impact in the children behaivour?". Some people think that some children are vulnerabl to be addicted to the game, and copy the actions of the games. Like GTA V, that is a very violent game, and is for people over the 18 years old (here in Chile).


SUPPORTIVE INFORMATION:

1.- To much of something, is bad for your health. (Source: www.kidshealth.com)

2.- The abuse of videogames can affect other things of your life. (Source: www.kidshealth.com)


MY OPINION:

Some children in the world are afraid to how is the real life. And they want to stay at home watching the T.V or playing videogames. And parents don't have a control over his sons.

Children are used to view so much T.V, that they don't know how is the world. And then when the
children grow up, they are stick in a computer or in the T.V, and as a result, they are very shy, don't have friends, don't have a girlfriend and THEY DON'T HAVE A LIFE!. And the parents think that his sons are a very good children, that are not addict to the computer or the T.V.

As a conclusion, the parents have to take a control over his sons and raise well his sons, so for the future, have a very healthy and good sons.

HEART OF DARKNESS - SUMMARY

OPINION PIECE

I will start this text stating my opinion about tatoos in the social, religous, artistic and historical topic.

Today, the people of high society are discriminating the people that has tatoos, but those people don't have knowledge about tatoos, becouse tatoos can have a religous meaning.

About the importance that tatoos have for religions. Wecan assure that in some religions they have a meaning that reveals the rank of the person or they can have a meaning for some achievment obteined in that culture, for example the Maori.

In this paragraph I will refer again about the social status. When the high society discriminates the people who have tatoos they are making a very huge mistake, because when people hage tatoos, they are not necesary a people who work badly or that they are a drug addicts.

The artistic way to see the tatoos, is not very popular, but is considered art. like the japonese guy that does tatoos as art, becouse he was practising the art for a long time.

Finally, most people in the world, consider that tatoos are for people of a lower clan. But in my opinion they are wrong
