MY super cool awesome bike

 MY Bike

My Super Awesome Bike- The super Cool Extra Fast Electric Bike 9000

My bike is called the super cool extra fast electric bike 9000. It has many prodigious features such as the booster, umbrella and helmet that is already joined to the bike. The super cool extra fast electric bike 9000 has extremely strong and tough frame to keep all the spectacular features in tack without the bike falling or tilting. You have to weigh 20-60 kgs to ride the bike or else you cannot ride it at all. The booster is to make the bike go faster when you are really tired and have no energy to ride the bike and you have to get somewhere really quickly. You can  also use the booster to make the bike go faster when you are paddling and lastly, it makes the bike move when you are not riding the bike. On the part of the frame closest to the back wheel there is a box where you can store food in before you go for a ride. In a small compartment of the snack box there is a money place that has been filled with one thousand dollars to spend on foods like KFC, etc. Instead of a proper bike seat there is a really comfortable seat that you can rest your back on and has a seatbelt on itso that when you turn around to get a snack from the snack box and when you are not riding and not holding anything like the frame and holder you won't fall of. On the top of the seat there's a helmet joined to it so that it you forget to get your helmet  before you came to the bike, and didn’t want to go back inside or if you were a kid and your parents told you to play outside and not inside, it would be no problem and you wouldn’t get hurt without it. On one side of the bike, a button pops up. The button is to bring up an umbrella to give yous shelter from both sun and rain. From the steering at the front there is a mini drink bottle with a holder for when you get thirsty you don’t have to go anywhere as there is a mini bottle that comes with a bottle holder. ️‍‍‍‍‍Lastly, the two last and coolest things are the super cool electric steering lever thing and the pedals that you don’t exactly have to use depending how you are riding it.

TV is horrible (WALT: Use interesting and sophisticated vocabulary)

TV is Horrible

TV is the most deficient mechanism in the whole entire universe. This unwanted gadget sitting in your house is bad for your health, it wastes a lot of your time when you could be doing something better and lastly, teaches children antisocial and violent behaviour that then gives them negative vibes. What if one day this disgraceful object takes over our beloved planet earth, just think about it? Don’t you think life without TV would be more superior? Have you ever thought about how much harm that black rectangle sitting in your lounge is doing to you?

Wastes your time
We might appreciate a snack or two in front of the TV but it just brainwashes our brains. Then we can’t think of anything more beneficial for us to do such as, play a game with our friends and family whilst having your snack.  TV may be a source of advice but it doesn’t always show the correct knowledge, then you end up trying some of them and then you think it was a waste of time staring at and you could’ve done something else instead. You would find more true knowledge from reading and other resources other than the unpleasant and of no use, TV. Things like soap operas, tv commercials and entertainment programs are just of no use but many of us pleasure feeding on it every day. Furthermore, people like students tend to spend too much time in front of the television and forget they have more important and necessary things and responsibilities to do.  A good student wouldn’t be good if they focused all their time on the television.

Bad for your health

Television is thought to be an anti-educational tool. Children mindlessly absorb all the information they see on TV and spend less time reading books, doing homework, or interacting with others. The more TV older adults watch, the more likely they are to die from illnesses like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, flu/pneumonia and liver disease that you get from watching TV.  Too much television is really hazardous for your brain. Young adults who watch too much TV and don’t exercise much may start to effect unhealthy habits on their brains as early as midlife, a new study suggests that being physically active at any time in your life is good for your brain. This can have a deleterious impact on adults and children.




Teaches children antisocial and violent behavior

A new study shows that preschool boys who watch  TV containing violence more commonly show antisocial behaviour by the ages of 7 to 9 than the children who watch non violent and educational television programs. Luckily the same effects weren’t seen on girls as they don’t watch violent television programs. Scientists say the outcomes are convincing because antisocial and aggressive behaviour among young children is associated with violent behavior in older children.   In addition, they found that much of what was considered ‘children's television’ programming actually contained a significant amount of violence. Researchers analyzed the television programs they watch and sorted them into three different categories, educational, nonviolent entertainment, and lastly violent entertainment. The results showed preschool boys  who stare at violent television episodes, series and movies were four times more likely to show antisocial and aggressive behaviour as kids. NO such thing was found amongst girls or with other types of programming. Examples of popular educational television programs amongst kindergarteners are Barney and Friends, Sesame Street and Arthur. Nonviolent entertainment programs included Rugrats, basketball, and animated movies.



I think that TV is a ghastly and awful commodity. Firstly, it is bad for your health, it wastes a lot of your time when you could be doing something better and lastly teaches children antisocial and violent behaviour that then gives them negative vibes. I think television is a monstrous object and I know that many other people think the same. If you don’t want bad things to happen to you, like getting horribly ill, STOP WATCHING TV NOWWW!!!!!!!
