Amazing+Race

14/4/2011conferenced with Miss Stovold and need to use more imperative speech, otherwise good work.

__Thursday 14 April__ KIWIS ARE THE BEST!

Now I am a New Zealander, and I love our beautiful country. I also enjoy the things that kiwis are good at so I’d like to take these things and write them down so that the rest of the world can see why Kiwis are the best.

One reason is the way that we keep our country clean. Other countries like China or Iraq have pollution in their water or smoke in the sky. New Zealand is one of the cleanest countries in the world and will stay that way forever.

Another reason is the amount of sport that we kiwis train for. All this training results in great athletic feats e.g the All Blacks have won us the rugby world cup two times before.

But NZ is not all sports and cleanliness, do you know who the first man to split an atom was? New Zealands very own Sir Ernest Rutherford. Even though this has lead to many wars and bombs it was an amazing discovery.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Dear Mr Gillies

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Thank you so much for driving group six to each of our destinations over all three days of the awesome Amazing Race.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Without your help our group definitely wouldn’t have done as well or completed as much of the race as we did. It is possible that without you we would have had to stay at school with most of Rimu house instead of leaving with the top five groups from the day before. Getting a breathtaking fourth place on the first day really encouraged us to try harder on the next two days. I hope we weren’t to much for you to handle! You seemed to be able to keep up with us pretty easily and looked like you enjoyed yourself.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I enjoyed trying to find particular roads to reach our destination, although it was tricky having to find the Karangahake Town Hall, it seems it was hidden behind the old car/ train bridge.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Over the exciting three days of the Amazing Race I made some great friends and really challenged myself and I know you did to.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Kind Regards,

Connor Lyttle.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Dear Master Chicken

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Thanks heaps for letting my group and I use your equipment to make our delicious fish’n’chips, I know you probably don’t let regular customers walk on in and cook their lunch, so it was very kind of you. I loved the yummy, yet greasy smells and sights of the kitchen and It was exciting to watch the battered fish fizz up in the deep fryer. Although I really enjoyed all of the things that we did to prepare our fish’n’chips, I probably liked wrapping them up in paper the best because it meant that it was almost time to take them out to Kulim park to eat. Even though we had to wait about half an hour to get cooking, I liked your activity the best.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">So thanks again Master Chicken for letting group six use your kitchen to make our finger licking, deep fried fish’n’chips!

<span style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Yours Sincerely, __ Connor Lyttle __
