persuasive letter

 Dear Grey Distract Council 

Hi, my name is Harrison and I am going to be telling you why we need a downhill bike park in Greymouth. This would give us many health benefits, increase fitness and give us more activities to do in Greymouth.

The health benefits of bikeing/ cycling Just 32km per week can reduce the risk of heart disesase to less than half. Biking also reduces the chances of of type-two diabeties, all types of cancer, high blood pressure and obesity. which is why I think we should have a bike park to so we can try to lower the chances of serious illness.

I think we need more things to do for fitness in Greymouth because we don't have a lot of options. Only 10% of secondary school students met the current recommandations of 60 minutes of exercise a day last year. Also a lot of people that age would like to ride there bikes down a hill with jumps on it. So if we had a bike park the 10% would rise. 

More activities to do in Greymouth. One in three adults and one in five children are over weight in New Zealand which means we really needmore activities like a bike park to help people lose weight. And if you gain weight and don't exercise could lead to death because physical inactivity contributes to 8 percent of all deaths.

In conclusion I think we should have a public down hill bike park in Greymouth because it will help with fitness and health. I hope you use my ideas and make it happen.

sincerely 

Harrison

Should a language be an invention?

I think a language should be an invention because someone a long time ago must've created the words otherwise how would they be here. It's not like the first person on earth just knew every single language in the world like someone had to invent them.

The easiest part for me was picking a topic because I knew this one would have heaps of reasons to be an invention. And the most difficult part for me was typing it up onto my blog in 10 minutes.
