where I'm from (BY PITA)
The 5 senses
Where I’m from (BY PITA)
I grew up in Pilkington road.
Where I’m from it smells like fresh air
Where I’m from tastes like butter chicken from my moms cooking.
Where I’m from sounds like a whole bunch of people driving by and playing their musics.
Where I’m from looks like hard people working on the other side of my house.
Where I’m from feels I feel loved from my family.
Where my parents are from.
My Dad grew up in Tonga and my Mom grew up in NZ
Where I’m from the roosters crow early in the morning.
Where I’m from we hear church bells rings every day for different church programs.
Where I’m from adults are talking and laughing while kids play .
Where I’m from we like to go to the beach.
Thank you.

What if food were free.
What if food were free
If food were free then there would be no need to go to work because we food is free that is the only thing that we need to survive we need food and water we do not any electricity we only need that so that we can turn on the lights in our house so that we could do our washing to get our clothes clean and to also do our dishes so that we can eat on the same plate, bowls, and cups after it is being washed.
If food were free every one would probably think about themselves and be greedy and start getting every food they can find food.
