Country life is better than city life - Term 3 Week 2

WALT persuade other students to agree with our opinion.  This the purpose for my writing.
Success Criteria:
  1. I plan for a writing task
  2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different sentence starters
  3. Give reasons with detail - use specific words
  4. I write most topic and high frequency words correctly.
  5. I use capital letters, fullstops, question marks and exclamation marks correctly.
  6. Use persuasive language





I recommend country life is better than city life!


Country life is better than city life because it has more area  so you can have fun and play in the bushes and we can make huts and climb trees.
Making huts can be fun because you use different material in the fields.
Huts are cool because you can sleep in them and you can play in them.
I know positively that there will be more animals to ride on or play with in the country. There will be different animals like deer, chickens and roosters, as well as sheep, cows and pigs.The cows can give you milk so you can have fresh milk in the morning on your breakfast, and hens can give you eggs for scrambled eggs and baking. Sheep give you wool so you can have a warm bed and a comfortable pillow. The pigs can give you pork and bacon.


Another reason is more space can be good because you can have more animals. You can climb trees and you can run up the mountain and you can stay fit and healthy so you do not get fat.  Mountains can be fun to climb and explore the open instead of sitting at home eating lollies and playing video games. The mountains are fun to find huts and find holes.  Mountains are cool because if you live in a cold place there might be snow.  


I  believe that country life is better than city life!
