Olympic A4 Task
Sarah Walker
I looked towards the BMX track, preparing for my race. I glance around too meet the other competers, who are all trying to win gold for their country. The sun beams down onto the track, the nerve is spreading. This is my race, the time I will hopefully make my country proud; New Zealand proud.
Bang! the gun fires, I lunge forward, the rush of adrenalin flows through me. I grab tightly onto my handlebars, I push my legs as hard as I can on the pedals, and are thankful to be moving forward.
It's near the finish line, my olympic race is nearly over, but the question remains will I win Gold for New Zealand or Silver, Bronze what will it be.
The power inside me is building up every second, my heart pumps like crazy, my lungs craving for air. Bang! Then just like that the race is over, what a relief I an so exhausted, my muscles burning, my heart managing to slow down.
I'm very proud of myself which ever way it goes. I did my best and that's all that matters!

In the End Sarah Walker won Silver for New Zealand.

Great Chinese Invention
Here is a explanation about one of China's greatest Inventions; The Compass
Before the compass was invented ships where frequently lost in the middle of the ocean. Then the Chinese invented the compass and that solved the problem.
It's not possible to tell who actually invented the first compass. But the compass was used around the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).
Compasses are navigational tools that allow hikers and explorers to find their way in the wilderness by pointing the way to magnetic north. Compasses come in variety of different formats more expensive and more complicated compasses have advanced features. All compasses, however, have the same basic elements that make the devices to point the way to magnetic North.
A compass is important because it shows where North is. The compass can help hikers and explorers in the wilderness, help ships that are lost in the middle of the ocean and people who are lost in the wild or stranded on a island in the middle of nowhere, there are lots of different reasons where a compass can be used.
A compass points north because all magnets have to poles, a north pole and a South Pole, and the North Pole of one magnets is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The Earth is a magnet that can connect with other magnets. The Earth's magnetic North Pole attracts the "north" ends of other magnets; it is technically the "South Pole" of our planet's magnetic field.
A compass is actually a navigational instrument that shows directions ina frame of reference that is relative to the surface of the Earth. A compass is a small magnet on a pivot.
The compass helps us with the navigational system. So when we are out lost in the middle of nowhere, but we have a compass we can find our way home. Another reason, you are ona cruise ship and the captain can't find his way back to the shore, but if you have a compass which can help him to help others find their way back to the shore. A compass helps lots of people including; explorers, hikers, ships, scuba divers, even famous people use the compass if they are lost in the wilderness.
In Conclusion, a compass is a great invention for the use of travelling around the world. As long as you have a compass you are safe, that's only if you know how to use it. Soon you'll get the hang of it.

The Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall
There were once two parts of Germany, the East whp were the communists and the West. The Berlin Wall was built to stop people from East Germany, escaping. There were many protests about the wall being built it all just started to happen in the early hours of the 13th August 1961, there were no announcements, notices the German Government just decided that it should happen. The wall was up for at least 28 years during that time 5,000 people attempted to get across to the otherside, but many failed due to the amount 100 to 200 people died .
There was a failed event of Peter Fechter (aged 18), who tried to climb the wall. He was shot and bled to death. tHe last person to be shot and killed, while trying to cross the border was Chris Gueffroy on the 6th February 1989. In 1963, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan visited Berlin commerating the 750th Anniversary of Berlin. The two of them wrote speeches, trying to convince the German Government to take down the Berlin Wall.
The date on which the wall fell is considered to have been the 9th November 1989, but the wall wasn't torn down immediately. During the weeks that followed, people came to the wall with sledgehammers and chisels to chip off souveniers. These people were nicknamed 'Mauerspechte' ( wall woodpeckers).
On the 13th August 201, Germany marked the 50th Anniversary of the beginning the erection of the Berlin Wall
