Hello,
Tlove your blog! You always have
interesting ideas to write about:
How can Ithink of ideas for my blog?
Toften sit in my room thinking until
feel miserable. Please help!
Thanks, Kyo_hearts,
We find it hard to think of ideas for our blog, too. We have
towork really hard!
The best way to have a few good ideas isto have lots
of ideas. You should write a long list of things you're
interested in. You needn't worry if some of your ideas,
aren't very good and you don't have to spend more than
five or ten minutes writing either. When you've finished
the list you can use the best ideas in your blog. @

Hi,
Td like a pet snake to love and look
after, but my parents say that I can't.
Task them but they always say Thave
to wait until Pm older. 'm so annoyed
with them. Do you think should
get one without telling them? Florenville2025
I think you ought to understand your parents. Why
don't they want you to have a snake? Maybe they're
worried about how much it costs? Or maybe they're
‘annoyed with you because you often ask them about it?
You shouldn't get a snake without telling your parents.
You'll be too worried about them finding it.
Jim
HiFlorenville2025,
No! NO! NO! You "*MUSTN'T"* get a snake without
telling your parents. You should try to be satisfied with
what you have. You ought to get a plant if you want
something to love and look after.
If your parents say you can't havea snake, you
must listen to them!

When I went swimming last
Monday, I swam for such a
long time that my arms ached.In pairs, talk about the questions.
What does a cowboy do? Where do wolves live? What do they eat?
Life on the ranch was quiet. Everyone worked hard to
grow plants and look after the animals, and they
fell asleep straight away when night came. But
one night, a noise woke them all up. AHR-
WOOOCOO! They knew that noise! It was
a wolf, and there were a lot of calves on the
ranch, Somebody would need to make sure that
no wolves got into the fields
Buck was the youngest cowboy on the ranch and
he was ahvays looking for excitement. Early the
next morning Cody, one of the older cowboys, said
to Buck, ‘You have to stay here today and look after
the calves. There are wolves about! If you see one you ee
should shout, “Wolf!” The people on the ranch will come and help you.’ Buck was annoyed.
He wanted to ride with the others! But he had to do what Cody said. So, the cowboys rode off
to the west and Buck stayed in the field to look after the calves.
Buck was so bored! He had no one to talk to, and no wolves came, Buck stared so hard that his
eyes hurt. Hours passed and Buck was miserable. Finally, he
had an idea, ‘The ranch workers will come and
talk to me if wolf comes’ he thought. He
jumped up and shouted, “Wolf!” At once
‘men came running from the ranch. His
little sister, Blossom, came too.
“Where's the wolf?’ shouted the men.
‘It was over there,’ said Buck. ‘But it
went away when I shouted,’ The men
waited for a few minutes, but when
they didn't see a wolf, they went back
to their work —
‘Did you really see a wolf?’ Blossom
asked Buck. ‘Of course, | did’ he said.
Blossom gave him a strange look. Buck
felt embarrassed, but Blossom didn’t say
anything.
Text type:a story = = z_ The next day Buck wanted to go with the other
again, complaining
cowboys, but Cody was worried about wolves.
“You must stay and look after the calves again’
he said. So, Buck stayed! Day after day, it
was the same thing, looking at a dull field of
cows, By the fourth day, he was so bored and
onely that he shouted, ‘Wolf!’ again. Once
more the men from the ranch ran to help him,
‘They were amazed when they didn’t see a wolf,
attacking the calves. ‘Where’s the wolf?” they
called to Buck. ‘It was over there’ said Buck.
“But it ran away when I shouted? ‘Are you
sure you saw a wolf?’ asked a man called Jeb.
“I definitely saw one!” said Buck. “That's why I
shouted’ The men from the ranch went away
Blossom was furious with her brother.
“There was NO wolf, she said to Buck.
“You mustn't shout “wolf” agai
Everybody is very annoyed with you!”
The next day Buck suddenly heard
AHR-WOOOOOO! He jumped up.
Te wasn't one wolf! It was 3 4
5 ... a pack of wolves! ‘Wolves!
Wolves! Wolves!’ screamed
Buck. But nobody came. They
didn’t believe him anymore!
Buck ran at the wolves, shouting.
But it was too late. All the calves
were dead and Buck knew he
would be in BIG trouble
In pairs, talk about the ques
Who or what is responsible for the death of the calves? Why?
Do you ever tel lies? Why2/Why not? When might you tell a lie?
How do you think Buck feels when he realises he’s made a mistake? Do you think he feels
bad for telling lies?
