Summer Learning Journey - Is Breakfast Important?

For this activity for the Summer Learning Journey I had to say if breakfast is the healthiest meal of the day or not. I think it is because it wakes you up, energizes you, makes you ready for the day. The most important reason I think breakfast in the most important meal of the day is because it makes you stay focus in school and helps you think (if you go to school).

Summer Learning Journey - Breakfast

For this Activity I had to compare my chosen country breakfast to what I usually eat here in New Zealand.

1. What do you eat for breakfast? Coco pops - cereal 
2. What people in your chosen country ( Chile ) eat for breakfast? Pastel De Choclo 
3. Which of the two options (your breakfast or the breakfast in the other country) you prefer. Why do you prefer it. I would choose my breakfast because Chile breakfast is too much food for breakfast and it has vegetables and corn which I like.

For this activity for the Summer Learning Journey I had to translate the 5 basic phrases of the following languages: Spanish, German, Malaysian, Japanese, Arabic or Afrikaans. I decided to choose Spanish. 

Good Morning - Buenos dias

When is the next bus? - Cuándo pasa el próximo autobús
Where is the nearest hospital?- Donde esta el hospital mas cercano

Summer Learning Journey - New Language

For this activity I had to imagine I was standing in a airport of a foreign country and to figure out how to communicate with people in a brand new language and write a poem on how I would be

Learning new words are harder than I thought 
Went to the store, bought a dictionary 
Its hard to pronounce I wish I had someone with me
I was so confused so I went outside to get some fresh air 
And wondered why am I even here?

Summer Learning Journey- End a Sentence

For this activity I had to choose a sentence out of three and end it. For full points I had to post 8 - 10 sentences.

I looked around and no one was there. It was my birthday and nothing seemed unusual. I thought my my friends were surprising me.  I heard foot steps down stairs, I went and saw a shadow.  I was freaking out. I went closer to the living room. Opened the door. " SURPRISE!! " It was my friends and family. I was so surprised and happy.

The second thing I want to do there is to visit the Wellington zoo because I want to see different animals. 

Summer Learning Journey - Should Bullfighting Be Banned?

For this activity I had to decide whether or not I think bullfighting should be banned. I opinion is that, it should be banned because it is very dangerous for the toreros as they could get injured.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 1

I have chosen Germany in Europe because it is a country that has very little similarities between New Zealand and it, as well as the language not being to different, since it is part of Europe and German uses the same alphabet.
