Where Would I Like To Live

  We live in a world of 7 beautiful continents. Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, South America, Africa and Antarctica. Each have there own special individual qualities and very magnificent countries. For example, Asia has the Great Wall of China, Europe has the Eiffel Tower, North America has Banff, South America has the beautiful Machu Picchu, Africa has the breath taking Victoria Falls and lastly the alluring Iceberg Calving of Antarctica. But of all those lovely places one city stands out in particular to me, Paris.

  Paris is the capital city of France and is a beautiful place. It has 3 well known names, the city of love, the city of lights and the city of fashion. Paris would be my ideal place to live for three peculiar reasons.
1. My favorite language to speak (even though I am not fluent in the language yet, I plan on doing so) is French. I enjoy the sound of the words and the tone of voice you use while speaking it. It's an all around romantic language which I find admirable.
2. Since I was quite young I have loved the environment outside. In Paris the nature and flowers are stunning. Also the climate in Paris is fairly warm compared to the weather we face in Canada.
3. Lastly one of my favorite things on the planet is fashion. I adore examining the types of clothing that people wear, the types of dresses that designers are making and the unique shoes that are being made. Paris has held Fashion Week multiple times which I wish to attend one day.

  There are many places in the world that people will always prefer to others. Most people that live in cold environments would like to move into warmer environments and vice versa. Some people want to move to where they are familiar with. Some don't even think about moving! Me? I plan on moving to the most perfect city in the world.

Do Over Generation

In the past studies have shown that students who have graduated before the year 1999 have not succeeded in the future due to the fact that work was not handed in on time. Consequences for assignments that are late should be given. Students who do not hand in assignments on time should receive a zero for their mark. These rules should be applied to all schools and all gradesvbecause it will help students in the future to succeed by developing good study habits and it will help students with their time management skills for future jobs.
All Students want the most extravagant lifestyles when they grow older. Some even want to be billionaires, but all these dreams are unrealistic if you don't understand deadlines. If schools have the rule of deducting marks for late assignments, than it will be a good way to teach students that they should not leave assignments to the last minute because it piles up with other school work and sometimes it ends up not being done. Deducting marks on late assignments will teach students to not procrastinate and will prepare them for the real world.
In the future students will be able to be more successful if they start at a young age to hand assignments in on time. If one could hand in an assignment anytime without getting any marks deducted, than that student would develope a bad habit which consequences would be given in their future jobs.
The reason I agree with is article is because when students get jobs they want to be ready, prepared, and want to do things right. In order for this to happen, schools should make the rule of handing assignments in on time so that in the future students will do assignments,project, presentations right and on time. Teachers should deduct marks for late assignments so that students are aware of what is happening or is going to happen to their mark. This will be a good learning habit for students.

Getting Started

Well, this is my blog. Took me about an hour to figure out how to use it properly. As you can see its pink because I'm a girl and the color has been growing on me lately. Tune in for more blogging! Aha, I'm hilarious.
