2 Timothy 4:6-7

LI: Use the steps of Lectio Divina to reflect on scripture

Ko te Ratu 2 o te Hongongoi teni ra

This morning scripture from 2 Timothy 4:6-8 was about how we can live our lives. Paul was in person and very lonely he missed Timothy and his friends. Paul was grateful that he had live a full life. He thought this life was about to end. Indications are they he was strong in faith.

The word faith tells me that I have to care about the people that I love and what I respect also to the people that are very important to me and everybody. Also it means to me that I had to thank the people for what have they done for me because they me and care about me.

Junior Playgrounds Should Be Removed from Schools

Walht: Use ethos,pathos and logos to persuade people

I believe all Junior playgrounds should be banned so that junior students will be able to work hard and play in a less time.

The first reason why I want to banned junior playgrounds is because some students just come to school to play around. School playgrounds can make students lazy, irresponsible and just muck around.

The second reason is that some students don’t care about their school work, they are more interested to play in the playground instead of finishing their work.

Third reason is that it can make the students do bad things in the playground and keep them as secrets. They can fight with one another, bully other kids and they don’t show good examples to others.

Finally my last reason is that playgrounds can be an unsafe area to play. It may cause students accidents, injuries that can cause brain damage and ultimately, can cause death to students. Students can die from other things while playing in the  playgrounds.

So that’s why I strongly suggest that playgrounds should be BANNED!
