Chapter Chat: Posted, Agrument against banning phones

Why we should keep phones

Phones are devices that have many uses, you can play games, use  social media, text people
and call people.
Now a days most kids in high school, or adults have phones.
Some people have phones for certain reasons that includes, business, entertainment
or just because they have one.

Three reasons for why we should keep phones include at break time it gives you something to do
, you can contact your parents after school and you can have fun during  class if its boring.

Giving you something to do at break time.

At school, you don't really have much to do. Sure you might have a playground,
but by the time you have a phone you will be sick of the playground.
Also people like to look at their phone, while talking to their friends.
So there is a good mix of being social and antisocial.

Contacting your parents after school.

If  you get picked up from school, it is important you  have contact with your parents incase
plans change or if they  are late. Imagine if you were supposed to go to a friends house,
and you  end up waiting outside school for hours.
The worst case scenario is that if you  don't have a phone

Having   fun during class when the teachers not looking.

In class if you already know that knowledge or you have finished you could sneak on your phone
. In school some classes can be extremely boring, and that's when the phone comes in.

Phones are new modern devices used often.
They should keep them in schools because if they need to contact their parents,
they can have fun during class and they can use them during break.
So you  should keep phones!

John Rowles is a pop singer, born in the late 1960’s.
His hit single Cheryl Moana Marie sold over 1 million copies world wide.
It was John's best song of them all.

Melbourne and also Sydney.  

In 1996 he started working with kiwi promoter: Graham Dent.
In 1967, John went to England where Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck held
sway, but John's first release of 'If I Only Had Time' was a huge hit,
reaching #3 on the pop charts. He became successful in Australian television.

John's very first performance was at the age of 10, when he entered a local talentshow and sang the song 'All Shook Up', he took out the first prize. At secondary school he organised a small group and played lead guitar. His father managed the group and they played at local dances at weekends.

Weekend Recount

In the weekend I went over to Christchurch to watch Hamish & Shaun play rugby, it was Hamish's  first game of rugby. After Hamish's  game of rugby  we went  to see Nana Sylvia, and got something from a  bakery.  Then we went to see Shaun's game, and after  that we went to KFC got  some  late lunch. Then  we dropped  of the boys at their dorm and went home. Then on Sunday I  ordered mum her mothers day gift  online, and then I didn't do much after that.

Holiday Recount

_Holiday Recount_

In the holidays on the Saturday right after school finished I went to agfest, I went on a bouncy castle, a Ferris wheel, a chair thing where you swing around, & a little plane thing where you  go  up and  down. I got ice cream from the Mr Whippy  truck (which was yum) and won the colouring in competition and won a  free pair of red band gumboots. Riley,Hamish & I went looking around free-bees,  we got lots  of stuff. On the first Wednesday I went over to Edens for the day. Then on the Friday we went to the movies, we saw Peter Rabbit first, (which was great) then we saw  Sherlock Gnomes (which wasn't  the best).  After the movies we went to the pool, we went  on the hydro slides and had lots  of fun. On the 19th of April it was Shaun's Birthday, he had  one of his friends over. Shaun also got his learners drivers licence, and for his test he  got  35/35! Then on Anzac Day I went down to Twizel, I tried a Fairlie pie for the first time (they were pretty good), and we walked up to mount Cook(well really close to  it). When we were at Mount Cook, the water wasn't that cold because I was sweating a lot, I even drank  some of the water and ate some ice. Also while we were at Mount Cook one of the big ice chunks flipped over and it sounded like an avalanche. We got  back on Friday then I didn't do much for the  rest of my holidays.
