Watching TV is really fun, but some people think TV isn’t necessary for their life and says that TV ruins their brains. Everybody thinks differently, they have their own opinions. My opinion is that having a TV would be better than having no TV at all.
TV isn’t bad, it has some educational shows and let’s people know what’s going on around the world.

I thought the CST was kind of easy. The ELA part was really easy, but the I had a bit trouble on math. The math part was not all hard, only on some parts it was hard. I think I did pretty good on the test and maybe got Advanced in both subjects.
♣ Everybody has different opinions, some people prefer cats, some prefer dogs and others might want a different pet besides a cat and dog. There will never be a winner between the two because the argument has been on for ages. But in my opinion, I think dogs are better.
Dogs are helpful to humans. They help the blind people cross roads, hunt for criminals, smell cancer, and much more. Dogs are also smarter than cats, dogs can learn up to 165 words while cats can only learn 35 words. I also think dogs are funner than cats. Cats are lazy, they spend 80% of the day sleeping and lounging around the house and dogs are frisky and energetic, they love catching frisbees and going on walks in the park.
Cats are nice, but not as nice as dogs are. Cats are
My family celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday by going to Hometown Buffet. It was really fun, we ate until we almost blew up. The food was really good and I ate a lot of tacos. But the bad part was that I got chocolate all over my shirt . It was supposed to be for my ice cream but the chocolate was slippery and it slipped of the cone to my shirt. Yesterday was also was my mom and dad’s anniversary so it was a very special day.
I’m good at tether ball, making people laugh, playing piano, being annoying and weird, and drawing.
I thought Mr. Penermon’s letter was very supporting. He told us to never give up on the test until you get 100%.
I want to do good on the CST Test because it determines what classes I get in Middle School. If I get a good result on the test, I’ll get only one class a day on all subjects instead of 2 classes a day.
There was once a king who was greedy for gold and loved it more than anything else in the world, except for his daughter, Marygold. One day, as he was admiring and counting his gold in a dungeon, a dark figure appeared. He thought, That can’t be a human, it’s impossible for just a human to break in. Is it a god that has come to grant my wishes? The stranger looked around the room and said,”You have a lot of gold. I’ve never seen anyone else have as much gold as you do.” King Midas replied, “Yes, but this is not much. There is much more gold out in the world.” “You are not happy? You desire more gold then?” the stranger said. “Nothing else would make me happier. I wish everything I touched turned to gold.”
