Reading W6 T3

 This week for reading over google meet we have been talking about hobbies. Are hobbies important to have? I think so because they keep you busy and if you really enjoy it you could make a career out of it. Do you have to be good at your hobby? No as long as you enjoy doing it but if you want to do it professionally than yes you do have to be good at it. Our create task we got to choose I chose to talk about 10 different hobbies you can do during the lockdown that are both creative and physical. Here is my work:

Writing W2 T3 - Persuasive writing

 This week for writing our task was to write a 3 paragraph persuasive text on a quote and whether we were for or against it. I chose to do, "Happiness is a choice." Here is my work:

Happiness is a choice

Paragraph 1:

I agree with this statement because I truly believe that everyone has the choice to be happy. Everyone has to contribute to their happiness and have the will to be happy. Being happy is more than just receiving gifts and getting what you want, being happy is choosing to keep going, not letting the negative comments get to you and pushing yourself through to be the best person you can be. 

Paragraph 2:

Happy people are not held back by negative emotions or situations, happy people choose to look past those things and realise that they are more than what others think. Since happiness is a choice which means you need to learn how to choose it. The first step is deciding to control your feelings. You must be determined to control your actions regardless of how you feel. You might not feel happy, but you need to stop dwelling on it

Paragraph 3:

Self love is one of the most important steps to being happy. Our image of ourselves has a great impact on our happiness. Doing self love exercises can help a lot with learning to love yourself. As John Spence once said, “Be happy. Be yourself. If others don’t like it, let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody.”

Do you think happiness is a choice?
