speech

 

Kia ora Hi everyone this is Manawa talking to. You these past few weeks we have been planing our speech. This is my draft. How I chose this topic So Miss Farr said that we are not allowed to do the same one as last year. So my friend’s idea for last year was vending machines. Then I was like a claw machine because I like claw machines. There is a lot of people that do not like playing a claw machine game because friends or family tell them it is a rip-off. But they’re not. They might just have bad luck. They might need to get better. But if you want to know how to win, it is easy to win. All you need to know is that it can be hard. If you don’t know what you are doing. Then you shouldn’t do what you think you should do. To win it is easy to put to dollars in the machine then drag the claw over a toy with the claw stick then push the drop button then it should go down and pick it up How long have I been doing this? I have been doing this for a long time.I have been doing thi since I was five I started when I was five years old. Some people think wow he’s smart for his age. When I first started doing it mum was like don’t do that because it is a rip-off. But then I said to mum I know what I’m doing. Then I bet her 10 dollars If I won it and I did then I used that money to get more toys out of it so I went home with a yummy ice cream with so many new toys ever since that time I have always been doing it. So how to win a prize. You have to be more skilled. You will have to see if the claw can pick it up then go on an angle then try and pick it up from the head or the middle of the body. Then make sure that the claw is big enough to catch it. If your claw has black pockets on it it is a grip thing to grab it better. It will help you get a prize better and faster. How to be more skilled. To get more skilled some people study, watch videos, read a book, listen to others, or practice. I got better because I practiced and watched other people do it on youtube. Some people think it looks so easy but when they go to do it they are so confused and there like how do I do this machine and think it is a ripoff and they end up not playing any more claw machines. The chances of winning a prize. From a claw machine is one in 15 people. That you could win each day. Which is a very small chance of winning. If you do win a prize out of that 15 people. Then you are amazing. Did you know that some claw machine owners nailed down the prizes so you are basically wasting your money? Is it illegal to cheat on a claw machine? Yes, because the object of the game is set. You have to use the "Claw" to win the prize. A guy in the process is stealing. Can an arcade worker kick you out for winning? So yes, they can. Kick you out for any reason they want. But it would be extremely rude and unfair to do that. Hope you liked my speech and have a good day

ghost town

 

 

Ghost city fun fact’s This my ghost city that I chose Ruby, Arizona, is an abandoned mining town. A school remains desolate after being abandoned in 1940 Ruby is a ghost town in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, United States. It was founded as a mining town in Bear Valley, originally named Montana Camp, so named because the miners were mining at the foot of Montana Peak it is one of the best ghost towns in the American Southwest, Ruby, Arizona is a reminder of the wild West. With a mine founded in the 1870s that produced gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper, Ruby officially became a town when it opened its first post office in 1910. The mines are now home to an enormous colony of Mexican free-tail bats. The giant cloud of bats can be seen rushing from the mine entrances at sundown during the summer. Officially abandoned in 1940, as a reminder of Ruby now reside on private land and remains one of the best western towns in the US. just a day trip away from Tucson & 4 miles shy of the border of Mexico is a rare opportunity to look back at over a century of Arizona's mining history. From a once-thriving community of 1,200 people to a modern-day ghost town, a trip to Ruby is sure to be unforgettable In the 1930s, Ruby's population was about 1,200, with 150 students attending the school. The Post Office was established in 1912, and the general store owner, then of the town named it after his dead wife From 1934 to 1937, the Montana mine was the leading lead and zinc producer in Arizona. In 1936, it was third in silver production. The mine closed in 1940, and by the end of 1941 Ruby was abandoned. Ruby is one of the two best mining ghost towns in Arizona, along with the Vulture Mine near Wickenburg.

olympics

 

1. The first Olympic Games took place in the 8th century B.C. in Olympia, Greece. They were held every four years for 12 centuries. Then, in the 4th century A.D., all pagan festivals were banned by Emperor Theodosius I and the Olympics were no more. 2. However, the athletic tradition was resurrected about 1500 years later: The first modern Olympics were held in 1896 in Greece. 3. In ancient Greece, athletes didn’t worry about sponsorship, protection, or fashion – they competed naked. 4. Back then, the games lasted five or six months. 5. Women have been allowed to compete in the Olympics since 1900. 6. From 1924-1992, the Winter and the Summer Olympics took place in the same year. Now, they’re on separate cycles and alternate every two years. 7. Only four athletes have won medals in both the Winter and the Summer Olympics. Only one of them, Christa Ludinger-Rothenburger, won medals in the same year. 8. During the 2012 London Games, the Olympic Village required 165,000 towels for a bit more than two weeks of activity. 9. The official languages of the games are English and French, complemented by the official language of the host country. 10. Tarzan competed in the Olympics: Johnny Weissmuller, an athlete-turned-actor who played Tarzan in 12 movies, won five gold medals in swimming in the 1920s. 11. From 1912-1948, artists participated in the Olympics: Painters, sculptors, architects, writers, and musicians competed for medals in their respective fields. 12. During the 1936 Berlin Games, two Japanese pole-vaulters tied for second place. Instead of competing again, they cut the silver and bronze medals in half and fused the two different halves together so that each of them had a half-silver and half-bronze medal. 13. The Olympic torch is lit the old-fashioned way in an ancient ceremony at the temple of Hera, in Greece: Actresses, wearing costumes of Greek priestesses, use a parabolic mirror and sun rays to kindle the torch. 14. From there, the torch starts its relay to the host city: It is usually carried by runners, but it has traveled on a boat, on an airplane (and the Concorde), on horseback, on the back of a camel, via radio signal, underwater, and in a canoe. 15. The unlit Olympic torch has also been taken to space several times. 16. The relay torch and the Olympic flame are supposed to burn during the whole event. In case the flame goes out, it can only be reignited with a backup flame, which has been lit in Greece as well, and with never a regular lighter! 17. The 2012 London Games were the first Olympics in which all participating countries sent female athletes. 18. The following sports are (sadly) not part of the Olympics anymore: solo synchronized swimming, tug of war, rope climbing, hot air ballooning, dueling pistol, tandem bicycle, swimming obstacle race, and plunge for distance. Luckily, live pigeon shooting was a one-shot and only part of the 1900 Olympics in Paris. 19. The five rings of the Olympic symbol – designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, co-founder of the modern Olympic Games – represent the five inhabited continents of the world. 20. The six colors – blue, yellow, black, green, red, and the white background – were chosen because every nation’s flag contains at least one of them. 21. The Olympic Games have been hosted by 23 different countries. 22. The first official Olympic mascot was Waldi, the dachshund, at the 1972 Games in Munich. 23. The 2016 Games in Rio will mark the first time the Olympics are held in South America. 24. During the 17 days of the 2016 Summer Olympics, 10,500 athletes from 205 countries will represent 42 different sports and participate in 306 competitions in Rio.
