My Persuasive writing of sports 😊😊


I Think Sport Is Better Than Music
By Lloyd Tawhai-Ngakuru

Firstly, why I think sport is better than music is because It brings together teams of people who would not have usually been seen together. This includes people in teams and includes people who go to watch sports. Teams tend to have supporters that are there together as a big group supporting what they love. Sport is able to bring people together which is why it is important within our lives.


Secondly, why I think sport is better than music is because it
It is a great reason for doing something and has people going out and taking exercise. It is something that even makes people who were watching want to get into shape. It is common for more people to join gyms and start taking more exercise when big sporting events exist.


Another reason why I think sport is better than music is because it his is true for most sports, although there are a few sports where violence is expected such as hockey. Otherwise sport is about matching physical fitness and clever humor with other people who were part of a study. That is one of the great things about sport and is why it is an important part of life and our community of people all good people in the world



Lastly why I think sport is better than music is because Some people may be awkward and have no friends, but if they have a little sporting ability then they will be made welcome in sports. Even if they have no friends they will not be picked last in a team, they will be made to feel like part of the group.

Here is my poem with metaphors and similies.

Language Tools.


WALT: recognise and use a Metaphor and Simile.


What are they?
When do you use them?
Examples:


What is a Metaphor?
A Metaphor is a  figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
Examples of Metaphors:
He drowned in a sea of grief.
She is fishing in troubled waters.
The snow is a white blanket.
Life is a rollercoaster.  
His words were cotton candy.
The snow is a white blanket.
America is a melting pot.
Her voice was music to his ears.
Life is a rollercoaster.
The snow is a white blanket.
The hospital was a refrigerator.
The classroom was a zoo.
America is a melting pot.  
Her lovely voice was music to his ears.
Life is a rollercoaster.  
The alligator’s teeth are white daggers.  
Their home was a prison.
The slide on the playground was a hot stove.
His heart is a cold iron.
She is a peacock.
He is a shining star.
Time is money.
My teacher is a dragon.
Tom’s eyes were icy.
The detective’s face was wooden as he listened to her story.
She feels that life is a fashion show.
The world's a stage.
My kid’s room is a disaster area.
The children were flowers grown in concrete gardens.
Kisses are the flowers of affection.
His words were cotton candy.
Mary’s eyes were fireflies.
John’s suggestion was just a Band-Aid.
The cast on his broken leg was a plaster shackle.
Her long hair was a flowing golden river.
The computers at school are old dinosaurs.
Laughter is the music of the soul.
He is a night owl.


What genre of writing would you see a Metaphor?
You would see


What is a Simile?
A Simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.
5 Examples of Similes:
As brave as a lion.
As big as an elephant.
As blind as a bat.
As cheap as dirt.
As flat as a pancake.
What genre of writing would you see a Simile?
You would see a simile in a poem,
