Dear Mr Diver

I am a student at your school and I am representing our students and and making our statement that I believe that we should continue and have more extended morning tea’s each week. I know that when you were a kid you would of wanted a extended morning tea. It will encourage us to get into class quickly. If we always ran into our class quickly we would get on with work quickly and efficiently. It will encourage us to be quickly at doing other things quickly not just at lunch breaks. It will then make us keep running into class and getting us focused quickly and settle down straight away. It will make us have more energy to do work and make us not to fall asleep. If we do our teachers will have longer breaks to refuel them self’s up, so they can stay focused and make our learning better and make us focus and listen. It will then make us keep running into class and getting us focused quickly and settle down straight away. It will make us have more energy to do work and make us not to fall asleep. This will be good for the community because when someone walks past the school and sees all the children running into class when the bell goes they will think what a wonderful school is, and that will get a good name for the school and will make more people come here and that means more money and better facilities.  Mr Diver I believe that you should give us a extended morning tea from the statements and the facts about it. So please take time read this and please give us the extended morning tea. Yours Sincerely Luke Cairns-Nelson

__Thursday 7 April 2011__ Thanks Luke, I liked how you used your rhetorical question at the beginning to add punch to your argument. You have done some good research and provided some good evidence against Nuclear power. __<span style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Arial; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">Against Nuclear Power __

<span style="font-size: 110%; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal Arial; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Do you want to be like Japan in complete Nuclear power disaster? Well I don’t because I don’t want innocent people dyeing. The cost of power should not be an issue, radiation is toxic waste, and it causes cancer!

<span style="font-size: 110%; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Some people believe that we should have nuclear power, why? Because it’s cheaper but it’s acherly cost 6 to 9 billion dollars to buy and it will not be as cheap as people thought it was. The nuclear industry maintains only $7 billion of insurance, so if there was a disaster they would have to pay a estimate of 15 billion dollars. I do not see what is so cheap about this!

<span style="font-size: 110%; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Arial; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> In Hanford, Washington there is already a crisis that a third of it’s 177 underground storage tanks there are chemicals leaking. Accidents such as those at Three Mile Island they have left people with serious concerns over the possibility of a complete meltdown of a nuclear core. Disposal issues also complicate the matter. Since they put remains of dangerously radioactive for thousands of years. Storage facilities have been built underground to contain them. <span style="color: #333233; font-size: 110%; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Arial; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> As radioactive breaks downs it releases the energy into the environment it has two ways of harming a body that is exposed to it. It can directly kill cells in your body. The harmful chemicals can stay in the area of the nuclear meltdown for a short time of 2 months, but that still has enough time to harm people. The chemicals harm people by getting into food and dairy products.
