Refugees

In this post I will describe this picture to my own opinion. If you have any problems please comment below.
So I think that being a refugee would be hard and sad. Hard because you would walk heaps of kilometers each day to attempt to cross a border. Wether you get across or not is the risk you take. But more about this picture, so obviosly they have traveled for several days and have reached this border and the goverment have fenced it off with barb wire. I think this is pretty sad because these people just want to get into a country and start over. Seriously, if you're country was bombed then you probably want to get into a safer country. I sure would. 

Thanks for you're time.

Oral language challenge

1. The first one is Mr. Bean  is using oral language by being funny because he is making a sandwich look hard to make.
2. He is also using oral language by acting for people that are deaf. 
3. The last way he showed oral language is talking because he never really talks in his videos.

Fleabug

Yesterday the 25th of September my Uncle bought out his new toy. It is a Volkswagen offroader buggy. My Uncle calls it Fleabug. Now this thing hasn't had a lot of TLC ( Tender Loving Care ) in a long time so that's what my Uncle and I have in mind.  Fleabug looks like a dune buggy with a red roll cage and a silver fibre glass bonet. He has his engine at the back. For the first issue the gear box does not allow you to change gears very well. Secondly, there is a crack in the chassis and lastly it needs the steering to have a faster reaction to turning. You have to turn the steering wheel a quarter turn before you get some turning. Now that the negatives are out of the way I'll give you some positives. So, the good things are; it runs well, everything works and it doesn't need a trailer. Fleabug has a cool arrangement that you just bolt a draw bar on to tow. I was the first out of my family to ride in Fleabug. Uncle and I tore up and down the road at full bore. The road is gravel, of course. I had a lot of fun and that is the main thing. I am looking forward to Uncle coming out with Fleabug over the summer.

If I were a car I would be ...

I am a car, I was built in 1969 in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States of America. I'm a shiny Le Mans blue with a L88 cowl scoop on the bonet with the blower and supercharger out the top. My wheels are factory Rally rims. I have a 4 - speed manual rear wheel drive transmission gear box. My model is C3 and I've also got lake pipes. With a 350 horse power Chevrolet engine thats  enough grunt for me. My number plate reads 69 CORV and I do 14.8 secs down a 1/4 mile strip. I am a classic American muscle car. What am I?

Please comment below.

My speech - Methane Engines

Cars that run on Methane rather than Petrol or Diesel


Would you rather spend less money on fuel and more on living the dream? Hi, I’m Sam and I am writing to persuade the future producers of car engines to try Methane engines.


What is Methane? Methane is a liquefied natural gas that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th of the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state. It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive.


First main point: We can save on oil.
All we do is collect pig manure from pig farm and make it,  swap petrol for Methane in the fuel stations. We could save petrol as a back up in case something went wrong.


Main point two: Spend less money on fuel.
Methane could be cheaper than petrol because it’s only pig dung really and petrol is oil that has been tinkered with until it’s petrol or diesel. Diesel is more oily than petrol.


Next main point three: Less polution than petrol
For now it would be good but for long term it would be similar to petrol. In the future we could change again to hydrogen fuel cell which is another story. We could try it in the mean time.

Overall, Methane is similar to petrol the good thing is we can make 600 times more Methane than petrol because Methane is a liqufied natural gas. Thank you.
