Free Writing (Picture Writing)

My Dear Child
I sat there empty, on the benches left outdoors. Old, exhausted, homeless and bankrupt. Would they ever welcome me now? After all that’s happened to me, I was a disgrace to my loved ones. If only I had a chance to relive my life again, maybe I could change this fate of mine.

My hands were clasped together as I pleaded to the sky, my child, for forgiveness.

My dear child, If only I was awakened from my addiction of gambling, I could spend more time with you. We could charge through the streams of flowers while laughing. If I could be by your side for a while, it’s all I ask.

My dear child, humiliation got the best of me. I never thought of you as embarrassing, you were always clinging onto me. I hated it before, but now, I’d love you to come back to me again. I will never ignore or push you away from me again.

My dear child, I wish I could return the money I had stolen from you all. I never knew how hard it must’ve been staying on that deathbed. If only I had known any better.

Maybe it’s all too late.

Shark Attack, MYS (moe, sadaw, yavi) ANS

Task Description: For Writing, Team Tui were learning about Narrative Writing. Here are the answers to the questions, we all answered. (Yavi, Moe n Sadaw)

The orientation of any narrative is crucial. What details has the author provided to orient the reader about who, what & where?

Who? Toby, the Shark and the Author.
What? The Author went surfing with his dog Toby but a shark game and started taking chunks out of the board but soon enough the shark lost interest and they were saved
Where? The ocean/sea/beach.

What is the problem or the conflict in the story? Think of another conflict or problem the narrator would have to solve The shark biting the surfboard and another problem that might have occured is that he would have to buy a new surfboard ( they are really expensive )

How old do you think the narrator is? Why do you think he or she was chosen for the role? 20+ i think this because he is surfing with no parent supervision and the narrator was maybe chosen knew what to do in this situation

Why do you think this is an action-adventure narrative? Explain your reason.
Because they had a near death experience with a Shark.

From the text, write 3 adjectives and nouns they are describing. Come up with your own 3 pairs of adjectives + nouns.
(From the text,) Interesting, Miserable, Careful (ADJECTIVES)
(From the text,) Shark, Surfboard, Noun. ( NOUN )
Adventurous, Knowledgeable, Logical
Dog, Beach, Surf

Describe the setting. Invent a setting that you think would be better or more appropriate – such as a sinking vessel, a deserted island or a fishing boat.

The setting takes place in the ocean/sea. Because if there was a shark the shark could only be in the ocean, beach or sea. So the setting takes place in those places.

How was the problem resolved in the story? Do you think it was a good resolution? Why or why not?
The problem was resolved because the shark didn’t hurt Toby and the Boy, but
The shark took a bite out of the surfboard.

I think it was a good resolution because the shark decided not to bite the boy. Instead of that the shark took a bite of the surfboard.

Artificial Intelligence is Bad for Society

Artificial Intelligence is basically a cheat code for people and students. They won’t even need their skills or anything to work, because all they literally do is just generate their learning or sheets of scraps. Where’s all the hard work in that?

School Exams/Tests
As soon as children hear about the AI that can automatically generate your work, who knows? They might cheat themselves through anything. (That is, if they can cover it up easily.) Still, using AI is just not a skill at all. Sometimes students manage to get away with using AI for their tests or essays. Such as ChatGPT, Snapchat AI and many more. It really is a getaway from all the work you could possibly do to achieve better in the future.

Outside World
The outside world is a tough place for adults who have jobs like accountants or other businesses. For some who are just too lazy to do their own work, they rely on AI to finish their resumes or many other things. It’s not something that you put all your time and effort into like some people. These people who use AI to cheat in life will soon, hopefully, lose all their ‘hard work.’

Social Media
As you probably know, things progress by time. Like you or other living objects. AI has definitely grown from the years and has become greater and better. People on social media are cheating their views by using AI for generated drawings. Not only that but since there have been many viewers commenting for proof. AI has fully generated speed draws, just for that.

Which is why I think that AI is a cheat code in society. It can progress better than it is now and just imagine how stronger and greater it can get.

SUFFIXES & PREFIXES FOLLOW UP

Task Description: Today for Writing, Team Tui were learning about Prefixes and Suffixes. What are they? Prefixes are words/letters placed before the word such as, (un)happy. Suffixes are words/letters placed after the word, such as, swimm(ing). Here is my information/tasks about Suffixes and Prefixes. Hope you learn more, enjoy.

It’s a really rainy afternoon today! I don’t want my son to get wet so I’ll just have to keep him in this house for now. I will just cook lunch and I hope he won’t sneak out. I’m very worried that my son will never have friends in his life.. *Creak* Huh? What’s that noise? I will check it out. Hmh, nothing. Well let me get back to what I was doing! *1 Hours later.* “Son! Lunch is ready!” What? No replies? “SON?!” I yelled. I guess I can check his room. “Hey son, Lunch is ready!” I exclaimed. Wait? Where is he?! I searched for him around the house, nothing. The only place I haven’t searched is outside, there’s no way he could be there! He’s a good child who listens anyways. Well I guess I can take a look at the window. There he is, oh he’s going to get in big trouble! Hey wait, why is he laughing by himself in the rain? This boy is crazy. I will just call him now! “Oi! What are you doing playing in the rain alone?!” I yell. “Alone? Playing alone? My friends are literally right here?” My son replies. Friends? What friends.. I see my son turn back and he follows me to the kitchen. *A Few Hours Later.* I tuck my son to bed and go to my own bed, I then fall asleep. *8 Hours Later* Ahh, great morning, finally shining for once! I get out of bed and make some breakfast. Time to wake up my son. I walk into his room, and something seems off. I thought I closed the window, and he doesn’t really sleep with his blanket covering his head? I yell, “Hey! Wake up!” No answers. I guess he’s just very tired today. I take off the blanket and yell, “Wake up!” When I soon stopped blinking I saw, pillows?! That boy must’ve escaped through the window! He might’ve ran away! I will eat, change and soon call the cops! *After eating and changing quickly* I will just drive to the police station! *After reaching the Police Station.* “Police! Police! My son has gone missing! Please help me find him!” I yelled. “Okay ma’am, please tell me your son’s details.” The Police replied. *After writing the details down.* “Okay now have a safe weekend.” The Police spoke. I drove back to my place and calmed myself down. Then I heard a phone call, I heard the phone say, “Ma’am we have found your son, he is in an abandoned shack with some corpses. We will analyse the corpse and we will take your son back home.” Corpses?! This is crazy! The son was then taken back home. He must be sleeping right now. Days and Nights past, still the son hadn’t woken up. People say, the son had been cursed by the 2 children who had the same experience but with an adult who killed them.
