Education speech

WALT - Identify features of Persuasive Writing

ALL EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE

Education is one of the good things in life for it helps us with our future, but wouldn’t it be better if education was free. Think about it, everybody in our world needs education because it gives us knowledge about the world around us, it also helps us to build opinions and have point of view of things in life, yet think about all those kids who suffer because the price is just too high that they can’t afford it.

In one article it says that 62% of children suffer because they could not afford to attend a school. This is a massive problem for the children and also the parents, not only that the parents can’t afford their child to got to school, but also the child will suffer because information can not be converted into knowledge without education. Education makes us capable of interpreting things, among other things.

Education is not just about lessons in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life. I think that every child in this world should all be able to have education also one thing I wish I can do is, to provide education for all, no child left behind. You think about it, do you think education should be free.

WALT: Edit writing

There are many places around that is very special to different people. The place I find special to me or my family is church. My family and I have to put church first due to my grandpa which i would explain after. In this writing I would be explaining why I find church special to me.

I find church special because my Grandpa is the minister of our church, since my family go to a Tongan church that make us the Faifekau. My Grandpa has to definitely put church first, he also has to get up early or go overseas for a meeting or a special funeral. He got to do this because he was the first grandchild that was a boy.

Every Sundays My siblings and I have to go in church early due to Sunday school.  Sunday school is special to our church because it teaches me and the other kids about the bible.  Church is a common thing my family goes to or even to other people go to.

Church is always first to my Grandpa, Nana, and my family. Every four years my family rotates to church they are given by his boss which in Tonga they call him the Palestine. People may find church special to them in a different way but in this writing I explained why it is important to me and my family.
