Netbook reflection

Hi, I will be talking to you about my netbook reflection. I am talking to you about this because in our school every year fives till year eights have a netbook of their own, and I am going to tell you things that I like about my netbook and things that I hate about it.

There are many reasons why I like working on my netbook, mostly I like working on it because it is just easier, and most of them are reading, writing, and maths. Writing is one of them because, when I write on paper and pencil it takes longer than writing on a netbook, and when I make a mistake I don’t even know that I made one, but on the netbook it tells me either it is right or wrong and if I don’t know how to spell the word I could go to the dictionary. Reading is easier because, I just have to go on a website for eg studdylader and just read. Also answer the question easily. When I do it normally like with a book it also takes longer like writing does, because I have to find the pencil, find the book and sometimes I can’t even find my pencil. On my netbook I just type straight away. Maths is the same, go to a website and just do it.

As much as I have loved working on a Netbook there are some things that I haven’tliked, like sometimes when I work on my netbook it just changes to another network for eg TLN Manaiakalani. It makes me really frustrated. This is what makes me really angry, just as I work on my netbook it just freezes up just like that, that is so embarrassing . Most importantly when I
search up for some thing it often says “ try again later Internet connection problem” then I have to reconnect the Internet connection.

Some of the biggest difference between using a netbook and the advantages of my learning is that using a netbook is faster than doing it on paper and pencil. Using a netbook has made me smarter that I use to before. Actually, writing with paper and pencil is faster and harder but it is not smarter, like my teacher says “work smarter not harder”.

In my hole entire life at school I only made one mistake and I got caught, that was when I played games on the computer, people says that making one or two mistakes is not that bad. Anyways I think I am cyber smart because inglish is not my first language but my teacher says that I am good at it. So I think that I am
If we were back to paper and pencil I would be like “oh man, I hate this” it would be like taking back the greatest thing that we had at school. I wouldn’t want that to happen, and I would also be sad, really sad.

SOLAR SYSTEM



Hey, have you encountered a fact about a planet from our solar system. Well, here are some bunch of facts that you would like to discover. I am only going to tell you Mars First lets talk about Mercury. You know Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the smallest, right? Well, do you know that in the years of BC (Before Christ) it was called the morning star and the evening star. Some scientists believe that Mercury might have had a moon but the sun’s gravity pulled it self and than it was disintegrated(burnt) out to the ashes by the heat. One day on Mercury last 59 days and 15 hours on earth, the diameter of Mercury is 4 879 km.
Venus is the hottest planet and the second planet away from the sun. Venus has been known since the prehistoric times and still is now. Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and love and it’s the roman name for Venus, you could see Venus without a telescope every night because it is the second brightest thing in our solar system, also it looks like a star in our dark night. The diameter of Venus is 12 103.6.
Earth is the perfect planet in our solar system and it’s the third planet away from the sun. Earth is not too far away from the sun and no too close, it is just on the perfect spot.The oxygen on earth is about 12.9 quintillion metric tons. Many scientist says that earth and Venus are brothers and sisters. Gaia is the roman goddess name of earth. Earth is distance away from the sun is 149 600 000 km, and it’s diameter is 12 756. Most importantly earth is an unique planet.

Mars is the fourth planet away from the sun, which means it’s close to the earth. Actually Mars look red but it’s blue because the clouds blocks the blue color, it has water in the north and south poles. It also has the biggest mountain, it’s called Olympus Mons. Mars is really cold because it is far away from the Sun, Mars diameter is 6 794.
