Water worries!

We are learning to find and discuss main ideas in what we read and to plan our ideas before we write to better inform our reader audienceImage result for hoover dam


Water worries:
  • To persuade to treat river better
  • Stop causing pollution
  • To change people who throw rubbish in the river.

Can we make water?

Explanation



One of the author's reasons to make this article is to show information on the pollution of rivers so it can persuade people to not throw there waste in the river. This is because rivers lead to either oceans or other rivers, and the rubbish could pollute the entire water supply of each country.


Another aspect of what this article's purpose, is that the article could be warning us to save water because it says in the story that every drop counts and the pictures I see people queuing for water. That made me think it was a message for saving water because other people have problems with there water and water is precious to us, so that is another purpose for this article.


Then there is a third purpose, to change or persuade  people who throw their waste into the river on their daily walks, this is another purpose because it shows many picture and has convincing writing that can change people. For example: a random person was reading that exact article and thought for a moment. He or she realizes that they are helping with polluting the water supply of the whole world and they quickly change.


In conclusion three of these aspects of purpose from the article could possibly be the main reason for this article, but we don't really know, it surely is a mystery.

Be careful, it's sharp!

A knife is a tool we find in the kitchen. Have you ever used one? It has a handle and a blade that is made of steel.People use it to slice things like meat,bread,vegetables and fruit and many types of food.


People who cook this kind of food might need a knife or just need it to spread butter on toast or to cut a sandwich.In fact because knives are so sharp you can easily cut yourself so be careful with knives.


Knives come in different sizes and are used for different thing for example butter knives they are used for buttering bread and scones.However bigger knives are used for cutting cakes,veggies and fruit.

A knife is very useful but can also be dangerous.
