Persuasive Writing

 Do you think kids should get paid for going to school?

Well I think no!  because the children will waste it on junk food and it is very bad for their health. And also we have nothing to do during our free time that’s why we go school and also to get education. Teachers should be the only one to get paid because of the hard work they do, giving up their time just to teach us the tools through life. If your thinking of choosing money over your education that really ain’t important because you might fail in high school and most likely not get into University.

which pet would you choose a cat or a dog.

Well I would choose a dog because it helps people to stay safe. For example if someone was trying to rob me my dog would chase him away or tackle him to the floor so I can call the cops. But if I had a cat the cat would run away and I would have to defend myself against the robber. If I got to choose my dog it would be two Rottweiler they are great family members they are not aggressive when playing with them and they are like super bodyguards. They can tell the difference between a family member and stranger.



Rottweilers are named after the town Rottweiler. What is special about Rottweilers? The ideal Rottweiler is calm, confident, and courageous, never shy. He has a self-assured aloofness and doesn't make friends with people immediately or indiscriminately. Instead, he takes a wait-and-see attitude with new people or situations. With his family, he's affectionate, often following them around the house.

How to be a Good Son/Daughter

Introduction

Are you a good son or daughter? Some kids aren’t sure. In order to be a good son or daughter you need to be sure to listen, help out and be thankful. 

Information

1st idea

Listen. 

One thing parents hate is when their kid doesn’t listen to them, and that doesn’t just mean hearing. Listening is when you look at your parents when they talk and actually process what they’re saying. Then once you’ve processed what they’ve said, actually go and do it.

Information

2nd idea

Help Out 

Parents love it when they’re kids are helpful around the house. Especially when you do it without being asked. Try little things, like washing the dishes or even just bringing in the groceries and it’ll make things a lot easier for your parents. Helping around truly has its advantages.

Information

3rd idea

Be Thankful 

Your parents do a lot for you. They feed you, clothe you, put a roof over your heads. That’s just a tiny portion of how much love your parents put into you. So say thank you and show it through your actions. Maybe even give your parents a massage when they come home from work, or give them breakfast in bed in the morning. Your parents want to feel loved and appreciated too.

Conclusion

So now that you’ve read my story about “Role Models” are you strong, powerful and motivational enough to be a good role model? Everyone has the strength to be a role model. So use your strength and become a better role model then you already are!
