Rats to be eradicated in New Zealand

In my very own perspective I think that we shouldn’t annihilate the rats
in New Zealand. I have 3 main reasons that can support my perspective
and may also persuade you to think the way that I think about this type
of situation. One strong reason why I think this is because they are
creatures of God. God made everything for a reason, including animals.
Maybe we just haven’t found out what the reason for mice are. But this
generation is evolving and the next invention might just be about rats.
My second reason is that even though rats might not be your cup of tea.
Many countries in the continent of Asia such as Cambodia, Indonesia,
Thailand and many more survive off eating rats. Dishes such as the chuot-roti
is highly recommended in these countries. Last reason is that mice are
good test subjects for laboratories. Matter of fact, rats are very similar to
us humans in how our bodies and mind work. They are tested for medicines
and other items that are used on humans. In conclusion I think that rats
should not be annihilated because of these 3 reasons I have given to you.

How to find fractions using common multiples

It was a terrible day. The sun wasn’t bright yellow and the white fluffy clouds were nowhere to be seen. It was dark and the only light that I saw was coming from the old small television we had in the lounge. It was cold as ice in my house, no matter how many warm, cotton stuffed clothes I wore. My mother was gone to work and my father was gone to pick up my little brother from school. I was home alone and I decided to lock all the rusty old doors and windows and turn all the lights off. I figured that if I went for a steaming hot bath it would warm me up. But then I remembered that our hot water had ran out because of all the hot showers we’ve been having since this whole week has been as cold as ice. I went up to my room and figured that if I was in bed with a heap of blankets on it would help. That’s when I remembered that all of our blankets we’re covered in dirt from when mum had dropped them outside. I wanted to cook me nice and hot to eat but that didn’t go to plan. The stove stopped working the night before and since then we’ve been having take outs. I didn’t want to ring up mum and dad and tell them to buy something because I knew they would have been busy with other things. I waited for nearly an hour and a half until mum, dad and my little brother to come home. I looked at the cold and moldy clock that was at the end of the hallway and the big hand had just landed on the 12.

Pasta with mince

The ingredients we used this week in cooking are:

• Mince (Beef)
• Tomato Sauce
• Cheese
• Pasta
• Pepper

• Salt
• Rosemary

First we had to slice and dice the onion into small bits. Then we put it in a pan full of oil, then we put 2 cup of water into a sauce pan and boiled the pasta inside of it. Next, when the onion was soft, we cut the mince into small pieces and put them into the pan. Once the meat was finished cooking we added tomato sauce and put it on a low heat. Once the pasta finished cooking and was soft, we used a colander/strainer to strain all the leftover water into the sink. Then we added the pasta into the mince and kept it on low. Then once we cleaned up we put the mince and pasta into a tin which had baking paper. Then we had to leave it for about 15 minutes in the oven on a low heat. Once we finished we presented it and ate
