Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 7

Hello bloggers. Today is Day 7 of the Summer learning journey. Let's begin!

Activity 1 - Breakfast

If I were to imagine that me and my family walked out of the hotel in the morning and walked across the road to a restaurant. At the restaurant we are offered a traditional breakfast meal. Here is the breakfast list :

Canada – Pancakes with maple syrup

Mexico – Chilequilas

Chile – Sweet tea and buttered toast

England – Full English Fry-Up

Germany – Brotchen (bread), cheese and salami platter

United Arab Emirates – Chebab (Wrap)

South Africa – Cup of tea and a rusk (hard bread)

Japan – White rice, fish, meso soup and natto (fermented beans)

Malaysia – Nasi Lemak (rice, vegetables and meat)

Australia – Vegemite on toast

Here is a comparisation of what I eat in New Zealand and what the country of my choice(Japan) eats for breakfast. Sometimes I have toast and tea but usually I have weet-bix. In Japan they have White rice, fish, meso soup and natto (fermented beans).  

The breakfast option I would prefer would be the Weet-bix. I would prefer this because I am used to it and it is very good for you. The Japanese breakfast kind of looks more like a dinner than a breakfast but it still looks very delicious.

Activity 2 - Kiwi foods

As part of Activity 2 I have to eat one of the Kiwi foods and take a picture of myself eating it. Here is a list of the Kiwi foods to decide from:  kiwifruit, lamb, whitebait, oysters, tuatua (shellfish), kumara, bacon and egg pie, hokey pokey ice cream, lolly cake, anzac biscuits and pavlova. Here is a picture of me eating one of these Kiwi foods:

Here is a picture I took of myself eating lamb. I did not eat the lamb because it was frozen so I just got this.

Bonus - Is breakfast healthy?

Some people say that breakfast is the most unhealthiest meal of the day. Some also say that it is the most important meal of the day. I think the most important and healthiest meal of the day is Breakfast. It depends on what kind of breakfast you have such as Sultana Bran or Fresh fruit. If you have pancakes that may be unhealthy but If you don't have breakfast you will have not so great learning the day you had no breakfast.

Welcome to the beautiful country of your choice. Before you leave the airport and go to your hotel, you will want to learn how to say hello in the language of your country. Look at the table below to learn basic words and phrases that you may need when you are travelling around the country.

Activity 1 - Culture,Customs and Climate

I read the phrases and I am ready to leave the airport to go to my hotel. If I was in a foreign country in a airport I would be quite nervous but happy at the same time. 

Here is a short poem describing how I would feel at a foreign country:

I step out the plane in heavy rain,running inside with heaps of time. Really nervous and scared too,why don't I go back to go undo. Standing in a airport don't know what to do,why don't I go learn some Japanese Kung - Fu. Running to a taxi,a taxi to pack in a hurry so I need a tic - tac. My mind is busy and also very dizzy,what do I do I need to eat Food. Arrive at the hotel It was just the road down,check in my room and put on a tune. I am all alright I was just having a fight.

Activity 2 - Face
Here is my look I would have if I was in a foreign country and I did not understand anything. I would be confused.

Bonus - Translate

I have been asked to translate 5 basic phrases into any of these 6 languages : Spanish, German, Malaysian, Japanese, Arabic or Afrikaans. I choose Japanese because it is the country I have chosen to learn about these holidays.

Good morning = おはようございます (Ohayōgozaimasu)

Good bye =  さようなら(Sayonara)

How much does this cost? = この費用はいくらですか？(Kono hiyō wa ikuradesu ka?)

When is the next bus ? = 次のバスはいつですか？(Tsugi no basu wa itsudesu ka?)

Where is the nearest hospital ? 一番近い病院はどこですか？(Ichiban chikai byōin wa dokodesu ka?)

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 5

Hello welcome to my blog. It is Day 5 of the Summer learning journey. Enjoy!

Activity 1 - Books
I have read heaps of books over the years. The one I would recommend would be very good.

Title of Book = The Trap door
Author of Book = Lisa McMANN
3 best friends go back into time to the United States in Year 1850. Slavery in these days were very bad. The 3 friends go back to time to go stop the Slave owners but get trapped. Will you help them? - Description.

Activity 2 - Popular Canadian Books
If I had to choose between the 3 books that were provided I would choose Matilda. I have chosen Matilda because it is about a very clever girl who is inspiring to others. In the book she stands up for her and her knowledge. Don't ever be called a nuisance!

Bonus - Short Story

There is 3 Story beginnings to choose from to continue the story in order to get points. The story beginner I choose was number 1. Here is the complete sentence: I looked around the room. Nothing seemed unusual, but then…

Lets start : I looked around the room. Nothing seemed unusual, but then… I saw a fierce tiger roar straight through the door. "Ahhhhh" I yelled. I had a bamboo stick right next to me. I gripped on it and barged through the door and stabbed the Tiger. But that was not enough to keep the tiger down for good. I ran past my hut and dashed through the palm trees. I held tight on some vines and used it to swing across the other side of the cliff. "Whohhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the vine went. I jumped onto the other side and puffed out my mouth "Please don't" The tiger had a monkey friend Ape who knew just what to do to get to the other side. The tiger held onto Ape's leg and did the same thing as me. I ran as fast as I could to get to Civilization. I stepped trees,I jumped over bushes,I climbed hills then there I was. Town finally. I ran the Animal Control before those animals attacked me.

Never to be seen again. By Mitchell.

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 3

Good morning blog viewers. Today is Day 3 of the Summer learning journey. Lets begin this fun adventure!

Activity 1 : Buying a ticket

I just finished watching the 2 Air New Zealand videos on how to stay safe on a plane. If you would like to view them click her on the links. Men in Black and Safety in Hollywood. 

Here are my list of 3 things to do on a plane to keep safe.

1. Seatbelt - Always buckle your seatbelt in first thing when you get in your seat.

3. Smoking - No smoking on the plane because people around you may breath it in and get sick.

3. Items - Any loose items you have on hold go under your chair or on the overhead locker.

Activity 2 : I have been asked to create my very own airline. What shall I call it? Here is a logo for my airline company I created on Design Mantic. 

Description - The name of the airlines is PeopleATW. It stands for People Around the World. In my picture there is a airplane flying with the sun rusing under it. There are a few birds too with some palm trees on the right of the image. There is also a sandy base where the palm trees have grown from. 

Bonus - Here are the prices of return plane tickets from Auckland to the blogging countries.

Australia = 864.810 dollars

Japan = 1,788.36 dollars

Malaysia =  2,300.30 dollars

United Arab Emirates  = 2,817.32 dollars
South Africa = 2,787.52 dollars
Germany = 3,262.97 dollars
England = 2,579.69 dollars
Chile = 3,364.476 dollars 
Mexico = 6,358.40 dollars
Canada = 2,217.30 dollars

The most expensive flight would be Chile with 3,364.476 dollars. The least most expensive flight would be Australia as it is right next door to New Zealand with 864.810 dollars.

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 2

Hello blog viewers. Today is day 2 of the Summer learning journey. Enjoy and let the adventure begin!

Activity 1
Capital city facts :
1. The name of the capital city is Tokyo
2. The population of the capital city is 13.62 million
3. In January the weather in the capital city is usually Cold with 5°C and 41°F
4. The capital city is located in the Eastern part of the country
5. The languages most commonly spoken in the capital city are Tokyo dialect and Standard Japanese

Activity 2
Bullfighting in Madrid : 
I think bullfighting should be banned. Here are 2 reasons why I think it should be banned.
1. It is very sad and not fair for the bulls. The bulls who are chosen to fight with the matadors should be free. All of the bulls should have the right to be a animal and have freedom.
2. It should also be banned because if you keep killing bulls the population may die out and the bulls will become endangered animals or may even be extinct.

Bonus:
Wellington - I have never been to Wellington but If I went for a visit her are 2 things I would do. The first thing I would do would be to ride the Wellington Cable Car's to see the amazing view of Wellington. The second thing I would do would be to visit the Wellington Zoo. I would really love to see the animals.

Mitchell - Summer Learning Journey # Day 1

Activity 1 

The country I have chosen is Japan. I have decided to choose Japan because it has many different traditional sports such as Karate,Sumo wrestling and much more. I would really like to participate in these sports because it encourages you to have confidence in self defense. 

The other reason I have chosen Japan is because it is a country with thousands of islands. It has a really beautiful paradise and I would really love to visit the islands. 

Activity 2

1. In Japanese language Japan means Nihon. That means Sun Origin.
2. Japan sometimes suffers from acid rain which is caused by gases that come from powerplants.
3. In some Japanese bedrooms the floor is covered with Tatami. It is thick grass that is weaved to sleep on.

Bonus
