Academic Language Week 27 - Drug-Sniffing Dogs

School officials do not have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs because the dogs might ASSUME the wrong thing, thinking it's drugs. One reason is that dogs are trained recognize that white towels (favorite toy) is what they're looking for pretending it is drugs, what if a dog sees a white towel in somebody's locker? The dog might RESPOND to it by barking, scaring the students away. Another reason is even though dogs are trained to only sniff and not attack, some of them will attack randomly, and it is not good that dogs, other then pets, are around kids. People need to go through the PROCESS to learn how to find drugs without using dogs. Additionally, kids in the school might me allergic from dogs, or have past with dogs or get flashbacks as well. In conclusion, I think school officials do not have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs.

Testing Thoughts Blog Paragraph

How do I feel about taking the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)? I feel nervous about the part that I have to pass it. I know that I have to do well for my own good, because I really need to pass the CAHSEE so  I can graduate. I am a little concerned about the information I missed while I was in the system. I've missed three months of my school year due to family problems, so I have no idea how I will answer some of the questions on the CAHSEE. I am confident that I will pass though because I not only have one chance, I have five to six chances. That will help a lot! When I see my CAHSEE scores, I hope to feel proud of myself because I did my best. Yes, I might be down for not passing it from the first time, but you can't control what has already happened.

Academic Language Week 2 - Cars

Would you want a car that drives itself? Honestly, I would want a car drive itself. One reason is that it helps me get to my location without trying because what if I am tired of driving or about to fall asleep while driving. Another reason is that if any of my family members borrows it and they're drunk, I will be sure that accidents won't OCCUR because my car is driving itself. Additionally, the car will PROCEED my ways. If I'm ever going to school, I wouldn't have to worry about telling my car where to go or entering the address over and over. I feel like it is the best METHOD of transportation to places without worrying about getting lost. In conclusion, I would love to drive a car that drives itself, because it is much easier.

"YOUR dogs are scaring away my cats pal!" the old man yelled out. The old man's little cats were under the bed. "YOU'RE the one who is scared you can say, yeah?" his friend answered.
The old man got angry! He walked as fast as he could out of his room heading to the front door. He opened the door and saw his friend with three huge dogs and one small puppy.
