To Work Or Not

To work or not?

This task is about making inferences from texts.

Read the four letters to the Editor and answer  the questions that follow:

Everyday after school I have to go straight to my job at the supermarket. I do this everyday. Sometimes they ask me to work later. My parents think I need to work to help the family. I am very tired every night. I sometimes even fall asleep at my desk. Life is hard.          Kirsten

I don't agree with students who complain about an after-school job. I deliver newspapers 6 days a week and I still have time to watch TV and play games with my friends. Lots of students have jobs to do. When our teacher questions our effort some of the class say they are too tired. I think they are lazy. Jabez

Having an after-school job is very important. It's a good change from school and I like my job at McDonald's, it's fun and interesting. My Mum and Dad appreciate my working and not asking them for money, but they sometimes worry that I am missing out on other school activities. I like it when I can help the family. Hue

I think having an after-school job is a bad idea. We need time to do other important things. I play basketball twice a week and that keeps me fit. I am also learning the guitar and in the future I want to be a musician. If I worked I'd have no time for sport and music. It's also important to have time with our friends.                              Nick

My Goals For This Term

Anzac Day - Cloze Task

Often hymns were sung and speeches made. The important part of the ceremony

Anzac Day  - Cloze Task

Most Anzac day services start with a march of returned service personnel

wearing their medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The

veterans are joined by other community groups, including members

of the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets etc.

The march continues about the local war memorial, where a service takes place.

This includes the laying of wreaths by various organisations and members of

the public. Flowers have traditionally been laid on graves and memorials in

memory of the soldiers. Laurel and rosemary are often used

in wreaths. Laurel was used by the ancient Romans as a symbol of honour

and was woven into a wreath to crown victors or the brave. Rosemary is used

for remembrance. The wreaths are laid to honour the people who have died

fighting for New Zealand.

The poppy has become the symbol for Anzac Day. The Flanders poppy as it is

now called grew in the trenches and craters of the war zone in Belgium and

at Gallipoli. These poppies grew wild in the spring. The soldiers thought of the

poppies as soldiers who had died. The poppy was made famous by Colonel

J.M. McCrae's poem could in Flanders' Fields. Poppies are sold on the day

before Anzac Day to raise money for the R.S.A. [Returned Services Association]

In most ceremonies of remembrance there is a reading of a poem. This is

often "The Ode to the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. It was first published in

the Times newspaper in 1914.

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them.

The last post is the trumpet call sounded in army barracks at 10pm at

night to mark the end of the days activities. It is also use at military

funerals and commemorative services to show that the soldier's day has

drawn to a final close.

This is usually followed by a period of silence for one or two minutes as a sign

of respect for those who have died. After observing the silence the flags are

raised from half-mast to the masthead. The Rouse is then played. The Rouse

called the soldier's spirits to arise and fight for another day.

The Reveille is played at the dawn services instead of the Rouse. The Reveille is

played only as the first call in the dawn. It woke the soldiers up at

dawn.

Is to remember those who died.

This task is all about the soldiers that have fought in the war.
