Movies are better than books

Movies:

• shows you how the characters look  
• it is a lot quicker than reading
• it can be more interesting
•  more entertaining 
• you can read the subtitles

Books:

• they take longer 
• gives you full detail on what a character is doing
• they are not as entertaining

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Are movies better than books? i think movies are because they are more entertaining then books, you can see what is happening and what the characters look like they are shorter than books and if you like to read and watch than you can read the subtitles. Books give you full detail on what is happening in the movie but are not as fun as movies they make your brain hurt when you read it for to long. Movies make you feel like your really there because you can see everything that is happening and what the characters sound like

In some ways books are good because you can learn how to read from them and they take longer so you can enjoy it more. Books make you imagine what is happening in your head and are better for your eyes whereas movies are sometimes bad for you if you watch them all the time. Movies take a lot of effort to make because of the CGI and the actors have to make sure that every scene is perfect so that it looks real enough to believe. Books don't take as much effort to make because they are just words unless the book has pictures in it you have to draw out and plan what they look like

Books to me are just boring and take up more time and movies are quicker and much more entertaining to watch so if i could choose one i would choose movies just because they are fun and they are much easier than books.

                                     

Team sports are better than individual sports

Team sports:
It is easier working together.
if you win you can celebrate as a team. 
you get to learn how to work as a team.
teammates give you motivation to try your best.

Individual sports:
It can be hard because you don't have support from teammates.
in individual sports you don't learn to work as a team.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Team sports are better than individual sports

Are team sports better than individual sports? I think team sports are better because you have to work together as a team to win and you have to use strategies as a team to beat the opposition. I also think that team sports are a lot easier because you have teammates to help you and in individual sports you don't have any teammates to help you, you have to do everything yourself.

There are a lot more team sports than individual sports like basketball, rugby, football, cricket, volleyball and lot more but individual sports are only like tennis, golf and boxing 

It depends on what the person likes, if they like playing sports by themselves than they will like individual sports. But if they like working together in a team than they will like team sports a lot more. Individual and team sports are both great but i prefer team sports.

                      The South Island is better than the North Island

Is the south island better than the north island. I think the south is better than the north because it is more flat and there are more farms and animals. There is also not as much people in the south because the south doesn't have very big city's it has more country. The south has a mix of everything it has mountains, forests, farm land and city's it also doesn't rain as much as the north that is why it is very dry and hot in the south island.

The north island it is more Big city's and is a lot more green because it rains heaps and it is cold. But there are some good things about the north island there is better transport and the roads are better and there are more things to do in the north.

Natural Environment (Plants & Animals)

All Zoos should be shut down to release animals back into their natural habitat

Points for: 
The animals will be in their own habitat and they can be free.
They wont have to be trapped in one place for the rest of their life.

Points against:
It will be dangerous for them to live out in the wild.
They will have to hunt to get food. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should all zoos be shut down to release all animals to their natural habitat

I think that Zoos should release all animals so that they can go back to their natural habitats so they can live by themselves and be free without being trapped inside a cage so that people can look at them all day. I think it will be better for the animals because they can experience what it is like to live in the wild and they can learn how to survive.

But there are some bad things about releasing all animals from zoos. If they release all the animals the population will go down because of all the animals that lived in the zoo wont know how to live in the wild

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Is living on the coast better than living in the mountains

Both places to live are great but if i was to choose i would live on the coast because you are closer to the beach and It also will be a lot easier to drive home because there are no mountains to drive over. And in the summer when it is really hot you can just step out of your house and go for a swim. There are a lot of good things about living on the coast like swimming, going for walks, and hanging with friends. And if you have pets you can just go for a walk down the beach. But if you live in the mountains and you have pets there won't be many places to take them for walks because of all the uphill and downhills on the mountains.

But there are also bad things about living on the coast like if there is a earthquake there might be a tsunami or a flood. And in winter it will be very cold because of the ocean and the cold breeze coming off the water. but if you want to live in the mountains it will be very cold as well because you are at a high altitude. both places are very cold to live but i think still think that living on the coast is better.
