Social media

Social media are a group of websites used to communicate with friends. Social media has its advantages and disadvantages.

Social media is good for sharing photos and comments with friends and family. For example you use it to talk about your life and share your experiences if you are in a different country to your family and friends.

Social media has its dark side as well, some images and comments can make you very unhappy. The age limit for most social medias are 13 and over, but why do they do that? They do that because some people post disturbing images and comments. They do this for no reason at all. This is called cyber bullying. Social media has already taken 14 lives in New Zealand alone because of cyber bullying. Facebook is the main social media site used worldwide with 900 million users.

So after reading this do you want to put some protection on it or even delete your social media? It’s your choice but I don’t want to risk being cyber bullied. For me the disadvantages of social media outway the advantages.

New Zealand

1. The flag of New Zealand is a dark blue with the Union Jack Flag in the top left corner, and four red stars with white borders to the right. The stars pattern represents  the constellation of Crux, the Southern Cross. The capital of New Zealand is Wellington.

Cross Country

In cross country I came 3rd. My fastest time in practise was 13:57. If I practise more I
 could have do better.

Why use bamboo?

Why use bamboo instead of wood?  Tree’s takes up to 50 years to grow to full size where as bamboo only takes three years.  Bamboo can grow up to 20 meters high.

Most people would think that bamboo is weak and flimsy but if someone dropped four tons of bricks on the top of a bamboo beam it wouldn’t break.  It is very light so only a couple of people are needed to carry it.  Bamboo can be used for many different things likes houses, clothes, plates and more.

More and more people are using bamboo as a building supply because it’s easy and cheap.
