Health and fitness

I've learnt a lot about health plus fitness, and how important it is. in fact, i also learnt why we really need to be healthy and fit before we did the triathlon.
young adolescents should have at least 15-30 minutes of exercise per day and adults should have 30-40 minutes of exercises per day. we should also control what we eat all the time, and what sort of sport drinks we are taking after or before exercising ourselves. if you have a problem with your fitness, you should always go get a personal trainer or visit a physiology. that's possibly the best way that your fitness could get back on track.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Gloria. i am 14 years old. i am from the democratic republic of Congo, but i lived most of my life in South Africa, in Johannesburg. i have three younger sisters, Patricia, Melissa and Grace.
i live in Perth(Free mantle) and I've just moved to Huntingtower last year in the second term. i love Huntingtower i think it's a great school and it as a conscientious atmosphere surrounding by. through last year i most enjoyed the school carnival, house athletics, choir and all the amazing excursions.
i started playing the cello at the end of last year, and i find it quiet a fantastic instrument to be playing. i love it because of the different sounds it makes and it shape. the orchestra is a great assemble of students who enjoy playing their instrument with other. it creates such wonderful sounds and melodies.
overall, i think this year will be a delightful year with the year 9 bike riding program and every other future activities. hope everyone enjoys it.

Josephine Alibrandy-Character

i chose Josephine Alibrandy as my favorite character, because she's a very absorbing, intriguing, young teenager.
she's the narrator of the story. She relates events as if they are happening now, and she speaks directly to the reader. She presenters herself as misunderstood and dissatisfied in the beginning of the novel. Her 'many problems' have accumulated in her head over the years and involves her hatred of being illegitimate, he hatred of Nonna, her frustrations with living in a Sicilian culture that has 'ridiculous rules and restrictions', and 'being stuck at a school dominated by rich people'. She believes that no-one understands her and that in her family she has 'had it worst'. Josie has become a self-centered and melodramatic adolescent who her friend Lee calls a 'snob'; who Nonna says is 'with out respect'; who Christina calls 'selfish and unreasonable'; and who Jacob describes as having ' the biggest mouth in Sydney'. This is our heroine. She is far from perfect, but she admits that herself, and the readers perceptions of Josie are influenced by the way she reveals herself to us.she goes on discovering who her father is, and why he didn't wanted her in the first place. Michael Andriette,(Josephine father) has come to really get to know what he left behind and start all over again.
