__The Awakening Christmas__

On that only morning I had jumped out of my bed and quickly ran to the living room. There it was, the glimmering tree. It had more presents with my name on it. “Mum, Dad wake up,” I shouted. “ Mary-Jane,Tajarh and Abigail wake up,” I shouted with joy. They all hopped out of bed. They all ran to the living room. “Wow,” they all said in unison.

Everybody sat near the beautiful, decorated tree, as for my Dad who sat on the couch pretending to be the Great,Big,Santa. As he called our names,we all ran to him jumping and smiling at the same time. “Ho,ho,ho,” my Dad said, while patting his stomach.

That day we all went over to visit our friends and family. When we came home, we were exhausted, especially my Dad who had to drive us place to place. I really enjoyed my day.

__ We Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Chew Gum At School __

Today I am here to convince you that gum shouldn’t be chewed in school. I whole-heartedly agree that gum shouldn’t even enter the school grounds. Why you may be asking? Let me fill your brain with evidence.

My first reason is the dirtiness of gum. Nobody likes being dirty. Gum can easily get stuck on anything. (Obviously everyone will know that.) Imagine children chewing gum, and then suddenly they stick it under a desk. That’s destroying property. You don’t want **THAT** to happen?

Furthermore, chewing gum wastes money. Say if you buy gum; you then have a flash back to how much money wasted, probably $2.00 or $1.00 was gone down the drain. Gum doesn’t do any good in life. Does it? Gum always ends up somewhere on the walls or even in your stomach. (NOT NICE.) So maybe now that I’m halfway through my writing, what would you choose?

Now onto my third reason, do you hate it when you discover that gum is dangling from you’re younger siblings hair? It’s a mission to pull it out. I’m talking from experience. Most kid’s parents have to cut their hair. Children are then terrified to go out in public. Don’t chew gum or even purchase it.

Now to sum everything up, gum is harmful to children or even adults. So now that you have some reasons that are supported with evidence- what would you rather choose? Finally, try not to purchase gum- or even bring it to school. Just like Singapore, New Zealand should ban chewing gum. Thank-you for listening.
