E-Asstel practice test

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Sam screams as he plummeted down the cliff into a cave. As he looked around he saw moss spreading across the walls like a cobweb. Water dripping from the ceiling, the one thing that stood out to him was the sandstone block in the middle of the cave as he walked closer he heard a very faint and hoarse voice say “you there,” 

“Hello, whos there,” Sam studerd 

“Come closer,” the voice said 

“Who are you and where are you,” sam said while looking around extremely confused in an instance a rush of wind came blowing through the cave sending a shiver down his spine, as the wind rushed through a faint light started to appear as the light grew stronger and stronger a silhouette of a man started to form he had a long beard was slightly balled and seemed older than anyone had ever met “what the,” sam said being cut off bye the man 

“Don't say that word in my presence,” the man said 

“In who presence excactley,” sam said 

“I am God,” God said 

“Ok ok real funny come on where's the cameras the pranks over,” Sam said with a little smile on his face  

“This is no joke this is no joke this is life or death I don’t have much time to explain but you just need to listen, do you know what the date is,” God said with a little anger in his voice

“ it's the six or something like that but come on guys the prank is over,” Sam said 

“It is the 6/6/6000 what do you see there 666 thtas the devil's number this is the date that the devil is said to rise from hell and take over the world,” God exclaimed

“Ok if this is true and I still don't believe this but what's this got to do with me I just wanted to go on a hike and now look where I am, im stuck in a cave talking to a light so why me,” Sam said trying to sound tough.

“Fate chose you to fall in this hole, you are down here for a reason and that reason is the devil is trying to take the holy grail and if he destroys it that will destroy heaven and me with it, the grail is in theses woods somewhere but so is the devil and his minions I need you to get the grail and bring it here so I can bring it to heaven and banish the devil to hell for a long time,” God said 

“No your god why don't you fly over there and get the grail yourself,” Sam said thinking that that would win the argument 

“I wish I could but i'm not aculey on earth this is my spirit I can not leave this cave,” god said looking slightly sad  

“Ok fine i'll go but im going to need something to defend myself and can you tell me where the grail is so I can just walk in and grab it and I can go home and this can all be over,” Sam said 

“The only thing I can give you is this vile of holy water use this only in emergencies and the grail is in the center of the forest,”

“Ok one more thing can you get me out of this cave,” sam asked while looking up at the hole which he had fell through 

“Yes I can,” god said with a grin on his face 

What just happened sam thought to himself as he walked along the leaf covered trail did I just met god well god's spirit. As he walked he had the feeling that there was something behind and he was right as he spun around he saw a grizzly bear that was at least 4xs his size growling and running right towards him. He started to sprint full speed but he wasn't fast enough the bear was catching up he remembered the holy water he fumbled through his pocket to get it as he brought it out of his pocket the bear swiped smacking it out of his hand and in the process cutting his leg badly “Aaaaahhhh,” he screams as the blood soaks through his clothes. He looks over to where vile is and tries to grab it but it's too far as the bear goes for another strike sam uses all his strength roll over making the bear miss and roll over smacking into a tree and killing it.

my debate draft

for litreacy we are doing videos easays. for my topic I am doing should the voting age be lowerd. Here is my braft 

Intro 

I believe that we should lower the voting

 I believe we should lower the voting age to 16 because younger children have to obey the laws but they have no say in the people making them.  Here are some more points on why we should lower the voting age.

P1 Why do the older generations get to decide. (who decided it would be 18 years old as the cut off.  Why is it 18 years old. Why are the older people trusted more?) why does the older generation get to decide what we have to do what laws we have to obey. If we do end up having the voting age changed the older people get to decide 

P2 Who gains the most from the voting age be lowered. (What kinds of laws should they be voting on?  What effect would having more younger voters have on the law?) Are they responsible enough?

 If we change the voting age it will benefit both younger and older generations because we both have our opinions and we both grew up learning different things. We both should be able to feel safe in the country we live in. 

p3)a) How would we change the age. Like I said before if there is a vote to change the voting age it's the older people who get to decide so we would have no younger people's opinions 

b)When would we change the age.  If we change the voting age when would it be changed so we all the chosen age can vote will it be immediately our will we have to wait 

P4 Where would it be allowed. If we did lower the voting would it be allowed in every part in new zealand our would it only be in  certain parts.

If needed p5 should there be a cutoff age for older people when voting. Even if we don't lower the voting age should there be a certain age were if your to old you can't vote because older people were brought up thinking that something wrong when today we know it's fine  

Conclusion

 in conclusion i think we should lower the voting age to 16 because we are responsible enough to decide our future and what we will have to obey by. 

my debate topic

For literacy we are doing debates and for my debate I am doing the voteing age should be lowerd and here is some of the infomation I have got

pros	cons
Young people are expected to follow the law, but have no say in making it.	They don't always know what's going on in the world
2. Young people have adult responsibility        but we cant vote	2. They may vote what their parents are voting for because they're told to and they don't want to get in trouble
3. Lowering the voting age will improve the lives of youth.
It develops healthy civic habits in teens.

why cellphones should be baned in classrooms

On thursday litreacy we had a debat about celphones and if they should or shoudint be in school and her is my opinuoin

on them I think phones should be banned from the classroom because they are a distraction from work and if the teacher does take their phone of them it will be on there mind all day instead of thinking about work. If the phone gets damaged the parents may complain and then it is the teachers proble

when serching for informatian i found that there was only one point and evret]ything pointend back to the same point. We did not get many reason for our side so next time we should try to find more sources.
