ALIENS ARE REAL

I strongly believe that Aliens are real.  There are three main reasons to support my argument.

There is no reason they should not be able to live without air.

Air may be nothing to them. They might not need air! They might not know what it is! Because we can’t live without air does not mean that they can’t. They don’t have to be so much like us, we arent the only form of life! They might be just like us but upside down! They will use their head to walk and legs to eat and drink if they are like that!

We don’t know all the planets

Our solar system isn’t in the only galaxy. There are loads more! We know a lot of them, but not all!  Space goes on forever, maybe they live in a galaxy heaps and heaps of miles away.

They might not need planets at all

There is no proof that aliens can’t just float around in the space in space, because when people ask “do aliens exist”, they have to see aliens having contact with earth to start believing that they do. That is why people send off rovers to find alien life form. The aliens move from the planet, we can’t catch them any more. When we try to send rovers out of the solar system, the aliens crash them. They must be worried that we will find them. They must have seen we are smarter than they think, so they don’t live on any planet. Just float in space. They thought that we were not smart because we call their UFO’s UFO’s! (Unidentified flying objects). Because we call them unidentified, they think we can’t find them. But we can! They think they are a step ahead, but them and us are even. When they find that out, they will live in the UFO, that is in space, not on any planet. Even if we don’t know what they are.

Therefore I believe Aliens are real.  

 

Country life is better than City life - Term Three Week 4

Country life is better than city life.

I strongly believe that country life is better than city life because of the following…

You can have more fun

You can have more fun because you have lots of places to go that you don’t know about. If you turn left and go on for 20 yards you’ll get to big save or mighta ten mega store cause in the city you know where everything is. 
In the country you might bump into four new lambs born the day before.You can go somewhere new every day. You usually are by the beach and the beach is lots of fun!

You can have more pets.

You can usually have more pets because there is less pollution to kill them from the factories that the city's have more of. The pollution  is even bad for us. Furthermore, it is a better environment for the animals because there are a lot of places to grow plants and grass. You could even have a farm, its such good environment!

Moooooore… sunshine!!!

Evidence shows that if you concentrated you would notice lots of tall buildings that are blocking the sunshine. For example, the country has less skyscrapers so nothing can block the sun. There are less pollution/grey sky from the cars and factories that cities have more of to block it as well.

Therefore, I believe country life is better than city life. BA BAAAAA!!!
