Activity 3# Christopher Columbus

Hello again today we are still getting a taste of what the summer learning journey feels like but I still think it´s a waste of my holiday time. For today we are doing the third activity. I have chosen to do Barack Obama.

Barack Obama you have laid peace to all, your kind words have inspired people to be good and not commit crimes. Your kindness has had an impact on my life to do good things.

Activity 2# Sport & leisure. G.O.A.T

Today we are doing activity 2. For this activity we are able to choose what we wanted to do. I chose to learn about Garry Kasparov, one of the best chess players of all time. Here are some facts

Garry Kasparov is a famous chess player and one of the best chess players of them all. He ranked best chess player for 15 years straight, until the greatest chess game between the best players of all time. Garry Kasparov vs Bobby Fischer. At the end Bobby Fischer won the greatest battle. Garry Kasparov is now second best chess player in the world.

My advantages.
1. practice every day.                                                             1.It takes up a lot of family and friends time.

2. Play against people that are better than me to get better.    2.It takes hard work.

3. Thinking about what strategy I am going to use                 3.It takes a long time for some to learn and understand.

Should animals be kept as pets?

I'm learning to do persuasive writing. Our topic is Should animals be kept as pets? In my opinion is yes they should. The easy part was persuading and the hard part is getting more ideas.


I strongly believe that animals should be kept as pets because they are your companion through your darkest times and your most lonely times. Secondly I believe animals should be kept as pets because they guide blind people to their home or shops. Finally I strongly believe that animals should be kept as because they protect you from other dangerous animals and people, also they are good friends to people that are always lonely.
