Migration: Push and Pull Factors

Migration is the constant act of people moving from one place to another for various reasons. These reasons include economic, social, natural or other factors. Pull factor is something that attracts someone to a particular place. Things that count as pull factors include nice scenery, family, work opportunities or fewer crowded-cities. A push factor is something that repels someone from a particular place. These include pollution, no sociality, loud places and poor scenery.

10Health-Learning Journal Blog

Today I learned about the names for the dimensions of the Hauora (The Maori word for Overall-Wellbeing) aspect. The dimensions are Physical, Mental, Social and Spiritual. My Physical Well Being is in a good condition as I have had no recent injuries or bruises which is always a bonus to everyday life :). The things that I do well to look after my taha tinana (physical health) are exercising every now and then, eating reasonably healthy and making sure I don't do anything to injure my self. The things that I could do better for my physical wellbeing are eating more fruits, and probably exercising more often. This dimension is one of the 4 dimensions that I do partially need to work on.

10English-Australians are better than New Zealanders

Australians are better than New Zealanders



Introduction
The Kiwis vs the Aussies. This debate (or rather friendly-argument) has been going on for countless years. I mean, for New Zealanders there's no competition but we'll leave it at the facts to do the talking.

Sports
First of all, Who's better at modern-day sports, New Zealand or Australia? That's right, New Zealand! New Zealand has done awesome things in the past few years, including winning world cups and getting high marks and medals in various events around the globe. But we can at least give credit to the Australians for performing better than us in some events such as the Olympics or The Commonwealth Games. Overall, in sport, we are pretty tied.



Slangs
Next, we're moving on to the conundrum of our slangs and languages. Both of our countries have specified words for certain objects such as us calling The Chilli Bin "Chilli Bin" whilst they say "Esky". Kiwis obviously use more relevant information towards slangs such as "jandals" for jandals whilst Aussies call them "thongs", Thongs!? who on earth invented that name?
Both countries are basically tied as well in this section as we both agree on our own slangs and probably will think that the other country speaks a foreign language when they use their slangs. So While your reading this why not go and get a nice cold drink out of a "CHILLI BIN".

Countries
Finally, We'll look at our actual countries themselves. Australia, probably 100,000 (not actually) times the size of New Zealand has animals such as Kangaroos, and Koalas whilst we have more native animals on the bird side of things. We have birds from the Kiwi, The Pukeko, to the cheeky Kea in our country, which all do certainly play a vital role in our history and culture. So while you're trying to find out the Australians secrets by being there, why not just take a peek at there animals as well and you may just be surprised!


Conclusion
The Kiwis Win... Only joking. Both of our countries are awesome in some aspects than the other and this is just what makes our competition fun! We dominate in Rugby, they dominate in The Olympics, this is just real world competition. Our Neighbours deserve gratitude for who they are, and I guess, so do we! Let Australians be Australians and New Zealanders be New Zealanders, this is just the way it is, no one is better!

10English-Watching Television is making New Zealand An unhealthy nation

Ever heard of a couch potato? Well, basically they are people who are deemed a "special name" for spending countless hours and minutes wasting (or appear to be wasting) their lives on Television. These are called couch potatoes). Televisions or TV's are omnipresent, meaning that they are practically everywhere, they are basically a modern necessity. The TV is the modern form of catching up on the news and for entertainment, which is truly a great invention, except for some devastating facts about them. Using a Television too much could lead to no sociality as all you do is sit in front of an electronic canvas. Too much usage is also quite bad for the eyes and this is where eye strains and loss of focus quite commonly happen, would you want that to happen to you? For a Final down point, The use of the TV vigorously could also lead you to a very deep and dramatic, down, damaging syndrome which is Couch Potato Syndrome (not a real syndrome... I hope). Let's look on the bright side though, a TV could just be your way of bonding with family and friends as you could all spend some time together watching the latest thriller or documentary on... well, anything! Also, it can help you catch up on the news and live events that you would have otherwise completely missed out on, for example, the recent royal wedding. The television was a great if not perfect invention, but with great power also comes great responsibility.

10English- Shakespeare: The Merchant Of Venice

We are learning about William Shakespeare and all his works and plays that he had made in his lifetime. He has had a huge influence over the English Language and we even use some if his slangs and words nowadays. We are learning this because it is to do with the basic history of the English language. We learned this by reading texts on Shakespeare and answering questions about the texts. My questions that I still have is did Shakespeare work with other co-writers on these plays? Also, did Shakespeare ever make plays that failed and that were never published? Here are my 4 DLO's (Digital Learning Objects) on The Merchant of Venice and Shakespeare:
