Describe - Sea Creatures



Rata Puru Pauru - Powder Blue Surgeon

Here I am, a blue powder surgeon, my colour yellow, white and navy blue marks, hides among my gorgonian coral. My body is an oval shape and is compressed laterally. Like other blue surgeon. I swim with my pectoral fins, my sides are blue my dorsal fin and the base of my caudal fin are yellow. My head is black, my mouth, my throat area and pelvic fins are white. My pectoral fins are transparent with yellow reflections. The intensity of my blue colour shows off my beauty.

As I swim I’m surrounded by other Powder Blue Surgeon. I can taste the fresh breeze of water coming towards my mouth I could feel the roughness of my skin, the seaweed sliding along my skin. My behaviour like most fish in the Acanthuridae family is very calm and cautious.

As I swim along I could smell the taste of the tropical fish swimming around coral reefs. I could smell the school coming closer to me. I swim in so many directions that it tires me out.

As I go out hunting for my favourite benthic algae food for me and my family as they are starving to death. I look all over the ocean but there was nothing so I swam fast as I could to report this to my father. There were gone. As I swim along by myself looking for my family as I realise there was something big above my head looking if that was a benthic algae. I swam as fast as I could as I reached the top. I bumped my head it hurts really hard. I got a lump on my forehead.

There was something curious going around my head until I turned around a big net swag across me, it was like a trap. But likely a shark came and rescued me as I realise I was scared of sharks but when I open my eyes it was just a friendly friend across my house I just remember it was my friend from school I was scared I didn't want to tell why I haven't been to school for the past two weeks.

It was gloomy dark as I returned home. I was scared for the first time I stay at home by myself. As my little tiny friend came along with his parents I ask if my could stay with them. Anyway his name was Nemo. After that one night sleepover I decided to leave a note and bring them some food.

I was really ppanicmy family has been gone for two days. I heard something calling my name I turned around I saw my little brother racing with my whole family I was crying the same time I was so happy that I thought I was going to die as I continued the future living by myself.

I’ve always pray to god to give me strength through all these times I softer a really pain times. I pray in Jesus name in the lord for this is right. I will live longer.

Explanation writing Plan - Why you cannot live without your chosen invention

EXPLANATION WRITING PLAN:hamburger.gif
Why you cannot live without your chosen invention?  

Remember the S.E.E. structure
S
Statement - Use a starter sentence to state a cause - An invention I cannot live without is . . .
E
Explain - Define the cause - I cannot live without it because . . .
E
Evidence - explain the effect of the cause -  I use it . . .

Title
What is your Explanation about?
An invention I cannot live without is a Netbook
Introduction
What are you going to explain?  Why is it important for us to pay attention to what you have to say?
My invention I can’t live without is a Netbook. Netbooks is important because they are tools you use for learning and they help you when you learn new things. Netbooks are awesome because they have shortcuts to make things easier and faster. If I didn’t have this invention it will be hard for me to cooperate with this modern life. I could have not survived but I'm not trying to exaggerate but it’s my life!.   
Paragraph One
Why is this invention so important to you?  How can it be used by you?
The invention that I can not live without is a Netbook. I've chosen this because this tool is for learning. I had this netbook for 2 years and this is the third year I’ve used it. Netbooks are very important to me because I can do my homework and finish work that needs to be completed. I can use my netbook everyday.The thing I like about netbooks is that the world can see what I do when I blog my work and blog it to the standard expected and also I can also email my family members far from me. I never use netbooks to chat to people that’s just wasting money spending it for a netbook to chat to other people like my classmates and people that are acquainted because it’s just spam.
Paragraph Two
What are some ways that other people use the invention? Why? How does it affect others?
I think that people use this invention for a different purpose like chatting to others and going on facebook and twitter. People might just use their money to spend on a netbook to use it for a different purpose. This can cause damage to your netbook if a coffee spills on you and your netbook. It might cost a lot of money to get it fix.
Paragraph Three
What would life be like without the invention? Explain the different effects.
Life would be hard without this invention because things will be a lot hard for us to write in our books and people around the world might not see what we do at school and what we have been learning everyday. This affects us by using it everyday for the right purpose and show the world what you have been doing in school and learning about different things.
Conclusion
The conclusion sums up all the ideas and repeats a key message to end.  This could be a recommendation or a personal connection.
If I didn't have this invention it will be hard for me to cooperate with this modern life. I could have not survived but I'm not trying to exaggerate but it’s my life!.                       

This document is all about our Explanation writing plan witch is all about why you cannot live without this Invention?. My invention I chosen was a Netbook because it a lot hard for us to keep on buying books every year for our learning.
