Oral Blog entry Film Review - Titanic


Titanic is a romantic and drama film it was directed and produced by james Cameron and its about the sinking of the titanic. It stars kate winslet Leonardo and Dicapprio as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack. I like this film a lot when it first shows on the cinemas I watched it three times and a hired it several times and I used to have Kate’s and Dicapprio pictures on my wall.
The film itself focuses on the fictional, heroic German First Officer Peterson on the ill-fated voyage of the British ocean liner titanic in 1912. He begs the ship's rich and snobbish owners to slow down the ship's speed, but they refuse and the Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks.
Titanic is a movie not just to be seen, but to be experienced. So make sure you see it on the big screen.

Text Blog Entry Four, narrative article

I choose this accident because this man was working on the railway and he was hit by a train and he died on Tuesday June 19, 2007 in the Waikato.
The accident accrued on the work site not on the rail way but the man must had split over while the train had passed.
The police have stopped the train on investigation for a while and then the train was back on service again.

A spooks man says that a man was killed at Ohinewai, north of Huntly.
The police, land transport New Zealand, the Transport Accident Investigation Commission and the Department of Labour had been informed and was investigating. Mr Ramshaw described the accident as a tragedy.

There are many verbs forms in the text and mostly are simple past because the accident is about the past the frist one is simple past e.g (died, killed, passed and stopped). The second one is presnt simple is e.g (was woking). The thrid one is the past perfact passive e.g (had split over).

Summary Of A Book - The History of Ancient Egypt

The book is written By Ann Rosalie David

In this intriguing survey, Rosalie David shows how the attitudes, opinions and working practices of Egyptologists have shaped the structure of their endlessly fascinating subject.

"The Experience of Ancient Egypt" provides an engaging portrait of what we know about ancient Egypt today, examining issues of religion, beliefs and practices surrounding death, everyday life, and literature.

David then looks at the history of Egyptology itself--tracing the discipline from its classical roots, through the deciphering of hieroglyphs in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the most up-to-date biomedical and archaeological techniques.

Text Blog Post entrey five - My Break

During my break I had lots of exciting time and the Break went really fast. I went to piha beach with my family and some of my friends, I had really good time there. We left home 9.00 am and we came back home at 6.00 pm.

The second week I went with my friends to Shakespeare park its north of Auckland we cooked our lunch there and the weather was really beautiful on that day.

My friend also came from Kuwait and she stayed at my house the first week until she found a house to rent and I had to help her with everything and show her the places around Auckland so I was too busy with her most of the time.

The view was really nice and i took some photos with my friends.I had been to this beach with my family serval times before because it's close to my home and i really like it.

I enjoyed the trip and I'm sure I will go again.
