Tongan Language Week - Writing !

This information report will be about Tonga, so have fun!


Tonga is an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean located in Oceania, just south of Samoa and roughly two-thirds of the way between Hawaii and New Zealand.


Until 1970, the Kingdom of Tonga was a United Kingdom-protected territory. It is the last Polynesian kingdom in the South Pacific, a constitutional hereditary monarchy.


Tonga is a Polynesian kingdom with a population of about 102,000 people. Tonga has a poverty rate of 22.1 percent, which means that one out of every five Tongans lives in poverty. Tonga has the third lowest poverty rate among the Pacific's eight nations, after the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.


Now that I have told you about Tonga and even gave you facts about Tonga, be sure to go visit my classmates blogs too because I am sure they have amazing writings about Tonga too.

Are you a good son or daughter?

 Are you a good son or daughter? Some kids aren’t sure if they are. This writing will give you some helpful tips on how to be a good son or daughter.

Helping around.

Parents it love when you help around the house, they especially love it when you do it without them telling you. You can do little things like picking up stuff from the ground, vacuuming, doing the dishes, etc. Helping around is truly a blessing to your parents. 

Being thankful.

 Parents do a lot for you, for example, put food on the table, shoes on your feet a roof over your head, etc. That is just a tiny portion of what they do for you. So say thank you, show gratitude. Maybe even give them a massage, or even make them tea or coffee in the morning. Your parents what to feel loved too.

Listening.

 One thing parents don’t like it when their kids don't listen to them. Listening means when you look at your parents like give them attention and actually process what they are trying to tell you, not letting it go through one ear and out the other ear.

Explanation Writing

 Is School important to you? Well if it isn’t, read this writing and rethink your answer!

I believe that school is important, the particular reason for this circumstance is that you can learn numerous stuff at school, e.g, economics, history, etc. The knowledge that you can get from these subjects helps to develop. Imagine as you were a caterpillar. It helps you evolve into a chrysalis and then when you finish school to turn into a beautiful butterfly.

Schooling also helps you with the future. If you want to be an investor you need to put money into your investment and you need to learn how to count money, and that's when mathematics and economics helps you. If want to be a doctor, engineer, etc,  You need to study very hard. To do this you need to go to School.

When you go to School you can learn sports, sports for eg, Netball, Rugby, touch, etc.

Some people learn Rugby at school and in the future, and they become professional rugby players. If you are a professional rugby player you can sign a rugby contract and you can earn money.

My final paragraph is about socialising, 

When you are at school/University or where ever you learn, you need to socialise with people.  Eg - Students, Teachers, Children. You can learn how to work with people and have a good conversation just to set you up for life. 

These are my there reasons on why school is important to me.
