Olympic games short story yr9
If I was an athlete at the olympic games I would get a week's worth of drinks and get 5 pairs of shoes and I would test out the cardboard beds by jumping on them and I make sure that I get in front of a camera at least once. For my sport I would do figure skating. I would feel nervous if I were to fall over in front of everyone on camera. And I would be concerned about my skates getting caught on the ice and tripping over. One of the tricks I would like to try is an edge jump.

People under 16 should not be allowed to drink energy drinks
Energy drinks taste good but you might not be so quick to agree when you find out how much damage they actually cause.
Energy drinks are highly addictive. If you drink lots of energy drinks or if you drink it regularly and you try to quit by just stopping drinking it your body won’t be used to not having all of the extra energy making you tired which then causes all of your organs to shut down. Unfortunately by drinking too much, you can end up with dental problems, weight gain and the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes.Plus if you have an addiction to energy drinks then you’ll be buying a lot of them which then means that you’ll be spending a lot more money.
Parents and teachers raised concerns about the impact that energy drinks have on children and young people in the school environment. One teacher said: “It makes the students too hyper and makes it way harder to teach them”. If kids are hyper it makes it a lot harder for them to focus in class because they’re wanting to walk around a lot more causing them to fall behind on class work resulting in them ending up not getting as high grades which then results in them being held back a year. Kids are much more argumentative and talk back a lot more causing more stress on parents, guardians and teachers.
Drinking energy drinks causes extreme sugar intake. It was reported by Diabetes UK that over 7,000 under 25’s have type 2 diabetes which they think is caused by energy drinks. One 500ml can of Monster Origin contains 55 grams of free sugars. Energy drinks are acidic, andfrequently consuming them can discolour your teeth and wear out your enamel over time. Causing you to get dental issues such as cavities. Sugar-free energy drinks still contain just as much caffeine as ones with sugar. Artificial sweeteners have also been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Energy drinks taste good but do you really want a drink to be in control of your health, your relationships and so much more.

Political party
Our political party’s name was work as a team
We believe that you should vote for our political party because we care about people’s wellbeing and want to make sure they have a warm, safe environment to live in.
Another one of our focuses in the world for the future is to improve the education system all over the world. We believe that anyone should be able to go to school whether they’re a female or a male and they should be able to get the education that they need. And if they can’t get a uniform then we will make sure that they have a uniform so that they can go to school and so that they are warm.
Change the way that transport is to the environment because of all of the harmful pollution that is created. Things like making it cheaper to buy electric cars or free public transport for example buses because you can fit more people on a bus and it causes a lot less pollution then having so many cars on the roads.
Make the process to apply for a job a lot easier so that there are less families on the streets. A Lot of families end up living on the streets because their parents lose their jobs and have no income causing them to not be able to always pay their bills on time which means that they then lose their house.
Have more food banks available for people that are less fortunate or are struggling to feed their families.
