Jalapeño Peppers
By Edwin

Some people like jalapeño peppers because they think peppers are good. But I don’t like them.

They are spicy. When I ate one my eyes started to water. Also, they make your tongue hot. They hurt your lips.

They have slimey seeds. They slide out of your mouth. Another example is, they slide off of your plate. They are nasty.

They cost a lot of money. In Mexico, they cost a lot of money. Additionally, peppers are expensive in the United States. They also cost a lot of money for my family.

Jalapeño peppers are disgusting. Some people think it’s good but it’s disgusting.

Music is Fun
By Rosa

When I had my six-year-old birthday party, there was a lot of music. We sounded like a city of music. That made me think that music is fun.

Music is fun for me because I learned instruments. My sister taught me the flute by singing a song. My sister taught me the drums by first playing the drum and then I could play. I learned the guitar from my friends.

I sing with my friends. One day I sang with my friends. I want to keep singing with my friends. Also I will practice my singing.

Music is fun because I can have a party with music. I have a party in my house and we will sing up on stage with my friends. I will not be bored with my friends. We could have fun singing at the party.

Music is exciting for me. Some people say people say music is not fun, but I know it is. When I grow up, I’ll still think music is fun because some adults think music is fun, too.

Kids Should be Nice to Each Other

By Edwin

I made a friend by being nice to him. Students should be nice to each other because they will not be your friend. They will not be your friend if you lie to them. They will not be your friend if you do stuff to them.

They will not be your friend if you don’t respect them. Also, They will not be your friend if you don’t be nice to them. They will not be your friend if you don’t respect their friends.

They will not be your friend if you act gross. They will not be your friend if you act selfish. They will be your if you act nice.

It is true that kids should be nice to kids. Kids disagree with my opinion because they like to be bad. My opinion will not change because if you’re nice, how will you get friends?

The Nissan Skyline is Cool
By Leny

When I saw a Nissan Skyline turned on, it sounded like it had a lot of horse power and it went really fast on the freeway.

Once I was in a Nissan Skyline and everything was cool. One thing that was cool is the seats. I like how they are shaped. The seats are cool because you can put your feet in well to accelerate the car.

The Nissan Skyline is cool because you can drive it anywhere. You can put it on a boat and take it to Puerto Rico. You can take the Nissan Skyline on the freeway. You can change the tires of the Nissan Skyline.

The Nissan Skyline is cool because can put other things on the car. You can put other paint tattoos on the car. You can put on fancy rims and you can clean the fancy rims.

The Nissan Skyline is awesome. Why do people disagree with me? People maybe can agree with me if they can see the car.

Bugs are Horrible!
By Odalys

Bugs are wiggly. I hate bugs! Kids should not eat bugs.

Kids should not eat bugs. I saw a kid choke on a bug. I saw a man eat bugs. Also, I saw a spider eat bugs.

Kids should not eat bugs because it could taste bad. One day I saw a kid spitting bugs. I saw a dog spitting bugs. And I saw a cat spitting bugs.

Kids should not eat bugs because they could sting you. One day I saw a bee stinging a bug. You could get germs. You could bleed.

Do you hate bugs? I hate bugs. My opinion when I’m big won’t change because they’re gross. Some people like bugs because they think you could play with them. I disagree because when I was at a party my brother tried to play with a bug and it stung him.

Kids Should Do Their Homework
By Angela

Should kids do their homework? I think that kids should do their homework.

It helps you learn. You learn a lot at school and at home. You practice at home. If you need help you can ask your mom or dad.

You can do homework with your parents. If you need help to spell, ask your parents. If you can do it, tell your parents. If you can do your homework by yourself you don’t have to tell your parents. You can do it with your mom.

If you are done with your homework, you can have fun. If you are done, you can play with your brother. If you are not done with your homework, you will not have fun. If you are done with your packet in your homework, you can have fun.

Kids must do their homework. If kids watch TV, they don’t do their homework but some people might like TV more than homework. I still think kids should do their homework because it helps you learn and practice.

Kids Should Not Watch TV
By Roxsana

Have you ever watched TV? Did it make you tired? Did it make your eyes hurt? Well, I say kids should not watch TV.

Their eyes will start to hurt. Their eyes will be black. You eyes will be red inside and your eyes will be itchy and you will scratch your eyes.

TV makes kids late. They watch a lot of TV and they come late to school. They play video games a lot. They watch Pokémon.

TV makes kids tired. They play a lot of games on TV. They watch too many cartoons. Their eyes hurt.

Children must not watch TV. Some people disagree with me because they like to see a lot of TV. When I’m an adult, I won’t change my mind because I will say to my kids “You should not watch TV.”

Watching TV is Not Fun
by Kevin

One time my dad made me watch TV and I didn’t want to watch TV. So I went in my room and I didn’t do anything. When my brother knocked my door he came in and turned on the TV and I closed my eyes and went to sleep.This made me think of my opinion. Kids should not watch TV.

Watching TV is boring because on Sundays there are no channels to watch, sometimes on Saturdays they stop showing kid’s programs and show boring adult shows, and some channels have the same shows.

Sometimes you can’t see the TV because the TV isn’t working. You might be sad when the TV is not working, You might not watch TV anymore. When the channel’s not working you don’t understand the show.

When you watch TV you don’t move your body or get exercize. You might get fat. When you sit in front of the TV you get lazy.

Sometimes it is not fun to watch TV. Some people do think TV is not fun because they have toys that are from a show. I think TV is not fun because TV is boring, sometimes the TV isn’t working, and you don’t move your body or get exercise.

Hot Wheel Cars
By Cesar

Do you like hot wheels? I do. Hot wheels are cool. They have cool designs and they are fun to play with. I like hot wheels.

Hot wheels cars are cool because they are fast. I was playing with my hot wheels cars and it went so fast and I won.

Hot wheels cars have cool designs. One time I went to Walmart and I saw a car with cool designs.

Hot wheels are fun play with because you can play all day. I was playing and I brought a new car and it was fun.

Hot wheels are fun. Some people might disagree my opinion. My opinion is to try them because they can have fun. When I am an adult, I will disagree with my opinion because I wouldn’t like hot wheels because hot wheels are for kids.

School is Fun
By Angeline

Do you like school? I do. School is fun because you get to learn new things. You get to go outside. You get to meet new people. School is fun.

School is fun because you get to learn new things. In ESL we are learning about essays. In ESL we are also learning conclusions. And finally, we wrote a book about us when we were little.

You get to go outside. I like to go outside because you see your friends. I also like to play on the slide. I don’t get to do that at home. Finally, school is fun because you get to play basketball. I don’t get to do that at home.

You get to meet new people. You make friends by asking to be friends. Another reason why school is fun is you see new people you wonder who she or he is. Finally, school is fun because you can turn popular by having lots of friends.

I like school, but when I grow up, I won’t like school because I won’t be here. Some people think school is boring, but I know I like school.
