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 audience

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.

Geronimo goes on a crash course for saving money!

This story is about a mouse named Geronimo Stilton who goes finds out that he has no money so his grandfather puts him on a crash course with Miserly Parisimouse. On the first day, they explore mouldy manor. Then on the second day, they visit thrifty city and on the last day Geronimo has an exam.

The day after the exam, his grandfather told him that he now had money in his account and teaches not waste his money again.

My favourite part was when he had money in his bank account and then had to go on a crash course to learn how to look after his money.

I know I can do this when I write a summary of the story Geronimo Stilton: Welcome to mouldy manor in my own words.       

Noooooooo, not the dinosaurs!

This story is about a boy named Arg who is looking for a cure for the dinosaurs that have been infected by people flu. One day he finds his dinosaur friend skeet( a T-rex) unwell so he goes with him to find a cure. Skeet takes Arg to a herd of stegosaurus that have not been affected by the bad people flu.

So Arg used his bare hands to take the snot from one of the stegosaurus' nose, because he knew that would cure them. He got blasted with snot and he was disgusted but he knew that he had to do it for the dinosaurs. So he walked back to the secret valley and all the dinosaurs in that area licked Arg and then they started to get better. Arg was glad that all the dinosaurs were better and he retreated back to his village with pride. However, he had red spots all over him. Skeet took him on his back to his village and dropped him off there.

Arg's mum came charging out of the village and picked up her sick son and carried him into the cave and dumped him on his bedrock. He wondered if saving the dinosaurs was worth him being sick.

My favourite part was when Arg got blasted by the snot and when he saved all the dinosaurs.
