Cross Country - Tevita

Mr Burt banged the clappers and we all sprinted off I was coming first. As I came around the corner the mud splattered on my pants. Suddenly we came to the reserve I was  gasping for breath. Afterwards I was coming 11th I was saying in my mind I wish I was coming 1st. I came past heaps of people in the Cross Country I was saying to myself I hope I’m coming 4th or 3rd.


As we came to the Creek it was slippery, wet, and muddy. I came running down the hill bursting out speed. I was nearly coming first but I started to slow down because I was dehydrated. Then I sprinted all the way until I saw Tamaki College. Then I jogged for minute and I caught up to my friend Melvin.



Melvin and I were coming through the bridge we saw Mr J. Melvin and I were happy because we were back at the school. But the teachers said to run around the reserve and I was like tired as. As we ran to the reserve I was huffing and puffing. It was slippery, muddy, and wet. That was the worst run I ever had in my life.

Tevita and Tana - Smoking is bad

Smoking is really disgusting and dangerous because it can cause many health problems. There are over 4000 harmful chemical in cigarettes. Three are nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide. Tar is a disgusting brown sticky substance that causes nasty diseases. It can  damage your lungs, brain, and heart. It can cause you to have a heart attack.  The main thing I don’t like about smoking is that people can die and suffer. More than 4500 people in N,Z every year.

Smoking is also hard to quit because it is so addictive. But if you stop smoking you will stress a lot. When people first start smoking you get a sense pleasure but if you're trying to quit it will be very hard.  

Teenagers start because they want to be cool like their friends. But if they keep smoking they will be addicted to the smokes.  If teenagers smoke their mind says to smoke again.
