Auckland Champs

At the ABA stadium, there was boxing tournament for the Auckland Champs. My fight was the third one for that day.  So I started to warm up for approximately 5 minutes. I had a rest because my coach told me to. My friend was in the first fight, so she warmed up longer than me. When my friend fought, she won by unanimous decision.

During the second fight, I had to warm up again because my fight was after the fight that was on.

My victorious friend told me to say a prayer and ask God for help, so I did. When the second fight was over, one of the judges called my name to come into the boxing ring, I was filled with confidence and rage. When I walked into the ring, the referee told my opponent and I to touch gloves and get back into our corners, I was in the red corner.

As soon as the bell rang, I went all out on round one and two, but when it was the third round I was tired. When the fight was over, the referee announced that it was a majority win to the blue corner. After the announcement, I had shaken my opponents hand and walked out of the ring with no regrets. My dad and my coaches were proud of me because getting a majority decision with a tall and more experienced guy is hard.

I now know that I have to train hard from now onwards so that I can get better, faster and fitter.

Be Wise And Advertise!

In room 7, we made an advertisement, so I chose to design a poster to sell dogs. I used 'limited time only' to attract buyers as it gives them the urgency in making a purchase. 

Locked Up!

Do you hate being kept in during lunch time? Well I don’t, that’s why I agree for teachers to keep students in who have bad manners and attitude inside class while their friends are playing and eating outside.

My first reason is students who don’t finish their work. Students who are kept in for that reason will learn to finish their work faster because they’re in a rush to play but they’re kept inside class. So when you learn to finish your work faster, you’ll get a good report and you’ll be fine at college.

My second reason is the students who don’t respect their teacher. And students who are kept in for that reason are bad mannered. That student will probably won’t know that their teacher is teaching him very important stuff so that he can get a good education. So showing the respect to the teacher is the best thing to do at all times.

My last reason is students who show no respect to their classmates. The students who think it’s funny to hurt their classmates are showing no respect because they are not looking after them and themselves. If their classmate did nothing to him and he hit him, then he should absolutely be kept in during lunch time.

These are my reasons why I agree for teachers to keep students in during lunch time. So we should be kept in during lunch time so that we learn to finish our work faster, respect the teacher and show respect to our classmates.
