where am i

This place is l748m above sea level and is 29 km away from Christchurch.  Cars and excitement fill the huge car park. The freezing cold outdoor area has a fast, black seat that pulls you towards the summit, a turtle slow tow rope and a new chairlift .  The lift can transport 40000 people per hour and the lift goes at a speed of 5km per hour. The address is 274 Fairlie-Tekapo Road, Burkes Pass 7987 .  The  snow looks like cookies and cream.

The  ocean seems never ending and are shirming

book review

The book called Tom gates is an exciting book written by  L.Pichon. It a action packed children's book subtle for ages 7 to  10.

L.Pichon has used vibrant colours, amusing language and very funny pictures to entertain the readers that read his awesome books he’s created.

My favorite part is when  Tom got in trouble and there is a spy pen for sale and is friend Dreck is not and in trouble but Dreck does not let him use then Tom asks why can't he use it because you just need to read the story.  The book has excellent excuses that you can borrow to not do homework.YAHOO!!!  No morehome to do forever(hope so) Well won’t happen to me I guess.  

Overall I will give it a 5 star rating and I think it is definitely worth a read.

Well done Caleb, you used some good eye contact and hand gestures.  Your next steps are to use more expression and slow down when you are speaking.

Introduction

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!  “What's that noise?” Little Charlie looks up into the sky to see what looks like an amazing small rocket strapped to his friend Tom’s back.  “Wow! That’s incredible!” he thinks. And he would be right! Yes, jetpacks are incredible!`` By the end of my speech you will be convinced that jetpacks are the best form of transport on Earth!

I guess now you would probably be thinking, why would people want to have jetpacks?  Well, here is your first reason is to think about: Jetpacks are a fast and easy way to travel.  If you travel by bus or car there could be a traffic jam and if you travel by ferry you can get seasick and there could be a storm.  A jetpack that travels at the speed of 120 km per hour can help you get there extremely fast.

Jetpacks are a fun and convenient way to travel.  When you are up in the sky you can have a very good view of what is happening down at the ground and of your trip.  Plus when you travel by jet pack, you don't need to follow the traffic rules or the speed limit.

Jetpacks are an enjoyable way to travel because you do not need to travel on Auckland’s Roads and you won't need to find any car parks.

Besides, if you travel by jetpack you would be very popular and you would be amazing.  You can also be amazing because the clothes you wear are gold and your boots have zigzags.  Your helmet will also have some very cool jetpack stickers on it. It will look like you have a small rocket strapped to your back.

Now stop wasting time on the couch and go buy a jetpack right now.  You will look cool and everybody will wish they were you! A jetpack will make your life so much more enjoyable and easier, don’t you want that?
