Animal Testing

WALT: Use correct paragraph structure

 Having Animal testing is pretty important. It's like choosing whether a human or an animal should live. Even though animals are cute, playful and they keep you company, humans are worth more because of things such as intelligence, and technology. This essay will tell you why we need animal testing to help us survive.

 If one of your family members are being tortured from an eternal disease would you do everything you could just to keep them alive? If letting a few disgusting rats die meant saving someone's life would you let it happen?

 People disagree with animal testing because the fact that its animals that are getting tortured. They just care for animals and i do too, but animal testing is for humans. Humans obviously need to live. Animal testing is needed for humans to survive.

Fun fact, Humans share most genes with a rat, Humans and rats are warm blooded, and we both are likely to have the same disease, so it would make sense why they test it on rats and mice. They also suffer from things like cancer, Flue, and asthma.

 Animal testing on zebra fish will also probably be good because they could find a cure for unborn or new born babies who are already suffering from bad diseases. Zebra fish are another animal who have so much in common with humans. Zebra fish and humans share roughly 70 percent of the same genes. 

Scientist have been animal testing for a long time now, but although their trying to find cures they still haven't found any yet. That's starting to be a problem because their just killing animals, but they will eventually find some cures. What do you think about animal testing?

Task Description: Room 4 literacy class has had this discussion for 2 weeks now.  We learnt so much about it now and we had to write an essay about our opinion. Everybody had different opinions.

Aliens...

Aliens are what people believe to be another kind of human. Some people think that aliens exist
and some people don't. Scientists are still trying to see if aliens could or do exist by researching
new planets that are able to have life on it. 

A Lot of people believe that aliens exist because of all the videos of sightings of ufos of an alien.
Those videos are able to persuade them into thinking they are real by making them look realistic.
People also think aliens exist because the place area 51. It is said that area 51 is a place where the
military test their new weapons on. 

On the other hand people believe that they don't exist because either they are non believers, or they
Don’t believe because there's no proof. Aliens seem really fake so I can understand why they don't

believe they aren’t real.

Yes scientists still haven't proved that aliens are real but there are still searching. If there are more
than 30 billion planets there definitely should be life on at least one of them. I believe aliens
aren't real but I think there can be life on other planets.

Everybody is talking about it around the world. On the day September the 20th
There is a thing where 1 million people are going to rush or storm area 51. The reason
why is because people think that the government is hiding aliens and that's why they are
being so strict about area 51. I don't really think that its real but it seems real for some reason.
They even have a plan. I find the subject aliens are very interesting. Do you believe Aliens are real?
