Yay - I WON!!!!
Chris working hard on his great speech!
Speeches are so much fun and Christopher and Meila did theirs with style and pizazz! Chrsitopher came 2nd in our school competition and Meila came 1st which meant that Meila was off to the Inter School Competition.
We were very impressed with Meila's as were the Judges, because she came 2nd out of all the Year 7 and 8's in the Motueka area.
Well Done Meila - we are soooooooo proud of you!
Here are the winning speeches:
Christopher’s Speech
“Mine!”
“No Mine!”
“mine”
“No Mine!”
“Mum, he’s not giving me my car”
“No it’s my car, you gave it to me.”“Well then who bought it? Me, so it should be mine!”
“But I gave you that $10 to buy it and you haven’t given me my money back and I want it back.”
“Would the both of you please stop fighting and go to your rooms. I’ve had enough already.”
Hi My name is Chris and my topic is on "I can’t possibly agree with my brother".
As you have heard that’s what happens most days around our house and guess what I still live in a house after 10 years of continuous fighting. I can’t think what made Mum keep him all of these years.
I just want to point some things out.
Number 1. I normally win!
Number 2. I normally win!
Number 3. I normally win!
And number 4 he normally cries and then he gets really angry and storms off. When I just want to push him to go agro I go “Shame you got I trouble! You got in trouble!” and then start to point at him and laugh.
Well we don’t need to go into details but he was an agro little boy on a rampage!
Now getting back to the point.
OK for an example when we go to a dairy and we have $5 to spend on lollies and I want a chocolate bar and it costs $5, but my brother wants a big lolly pop worth $5. I say if we get the chocolate bar we could break it in half and share it. But NO! I want the lolly pop and I’m getting it right now.
If someone could buy my brother I will pay top dollar, I mean top cent – any one 10 cents, going once, going twice, sold to that kid picking his nose.
But after a wee while I’ll get bored because I’ve got no one to pick on, I would get into lots of trouble because Mum has no one to yell at.
If you have a little brother would you sell him or keep him. If you sell him go to buy, sell or swap, you never know one minute you will have a little brother and the next you have swapped him for a cute little 2 year old sister!
In the end I would possibly keep my brother even though I can’t possible agree with him. I would keep him otherwise I would be bored all of the time.
OK I’m going to stop now because I have been talking for about 2 and a half minutes and that kid just picked his nose again!
Look there’s my brother over there – I’m going to tease him!!
And now Meila's Winning Speech
They may cook the food
They may do the house work
They may earn the money
But I can’t possibly agree that my parents have any idea what’s going on.
Hi my name is Meila and I’m from Lower Moutere School
My parents think they know every thing but really they have no idea.
1) Like Homework right, every night your parents ask “have you done your homework dear?”
And you just say “Yes Mother” because they never actually check, and how would they know what your homework is anyway?
When your parents are easily tricked like this it’s so easy to get out of the trouble you caused
2) Like when ya hassling your brother and sister, you know just generally annoying them for entertainment,
But then you go too far and they start crying and run off to mum and she comes roaring in like a crazy woman.
So you start crying to get out of trouble and say “Its all his fault, he started it” and she doesn’t know who started it and yells at both of you, then your brother or sister starts to cry even more which is even funnier.
I Mean how is she gonna know it was you that started it right.
But its not always your fault when you have to tell a little white lie to make life easier, some times its your parents being nosey!
3) For instance when your parents ask “who are you texting?” you don’t want your parents to know, so you come up with a random name like Sarah or Holly. As long as you don’t hesitate or say um, just out with that random name, they’ll never know.
4) Same thing on the internet “what you doing on there?” “oh um just playing online games, or downloading music.” When really you’re hacking into their trademe account and buying phone cards and expensive jewellery, How do they know anyway, most parents are like technological retards on the computer.
But sometimes you just can’t be bothered with what they have to say.
5) Like the times when Dad comes in and says “Have you seen The car keys?” and you can vaguely remember seeing them somewhere but cant be bothered looking or even thinking about it so you just say “nah” and carry on with whatever it was you were doing because how’s he going to know?
They may cook the food they may do the house work,
They may earn the money
But I can’t possibly agree that my parents have any idea what’s going on.
Aren't they GREAT? Well Done Chris and Meila! Fantastic work!
Meila has done it, she is a GOLD medalist! Congratulations to our New Zealand Champion.
