Cricket is a game a lot of people love and people say it’s the fairest game on the planet ,in fact people say if something’s not fare ,it’s just not cricket .So imagine what would happen if someone cheated at this game ,the world would go nuts. Betting is about guessing what you think will happen and if you win your bet you get money ,but if you lose ,you give money. People today in Pakistan people are betting on cricket ,which isn’t illegal ,unless you count that one of the betters are telling Pakistan’s players to do something and when ,so they can get money. But to do this ,the person needs to persuade the players with money so they can win. The players who were involved were captain Salman Butt ,Mohamad Asif and Mohamad Amir. Pakistan coach ,Waqar Younis said:”I am trying to get the team up again and make sure we deliver the best we can in the few next games and try and do the best we can that’s all I can do.” Everything has a different opinion ,some say we should give them a second chance ,some say we should ban these players for life ,which I agree with ,and some say the whole team should be banned for life. Well as the saying goes ,it’s just not cricket. People are saying that when they did do it on purpose it was obvious .in my opinion ,yes they did the wrong thing and maybe they should be for life but maybe they had their reasons ,what do you think.

Traditionally,young men did trade and woodwork and girl did cooking and cleaning.But now girls are getting into construction work. but the question is why isn’t anyone doing construction work and if girls should be able to do it.

Girls are not as strong as men ,but they are as eager to get out there as men.Some people think girls should get an equal opportunity as guys. There are others who think construction workers need more help.

Boys and girls are getting better education at school ,that’s why there aren’t as many construction workers as there used to be.Men are getting smarter and better jobs.because of this we need more people ,girls and boys taking on apprenticeships.

On the other hand construction workers are at risk  from a womans limited strenghth. Women take maternity leave ,when they they have a child, and some people say girls nag more than guys.Cnstruction sites are very dangerous,construction is for a guy.

In conclusion ,there are clearly two sides to this issue and i beleive girls should be able to do construction work. They want to get down and dirty.

 Holes was agreat , suspense filled story, the main character is Stanley Yelnats.This story started when Stanley found some shoes , they actually fell on his head,and that were apparently the shoes were Clyde Livingston ,a very famous base-ball player who has a very bad smelling foot fungus, who was sending them to a charity for children.The police asumed Stanley was stealing the shoes ,because they were stolen that day,and that meant he had to ,either, go to jail or goto a Juvinial Kids Detesion centre and Stanley ,who had never been to a camp before,said he would go to the JKD.

 The main characters of this story were Stanley, Zero,X-ray ,Armpit ,Zig-Zag, Magnet,M.r Sir, M.r Pendanski ,The Warden , Kate Barlow ,Sam the onion man and Clyde Livingston.they all play special parts in this story ,especially Stanley and Zero.they had to survive in the desert without food or water and Zero  was having  fits a couple of times ,because he was eating 110 year old sploosh.Personally ,my favourite character was Zero !

Some of the key events were when Stanley found the shoes and and was going to give them to his dad to help him with an invention he’s trying to make.he got caught by the police and apparently the shoes owner was Clyde Livingston,a very famous baseball player who has a very smelly footfungus.Clyde was sending the shoes to a charity and in the end Stanley had to go to the JKD centre.I also liked when Zero smashed Mr Pendanski with a shovel and ran away into the desert and Stanley ran after him.And how Kate Barlow and Sam the onion man kissed and then Trout Walker killed him and that was how Kate Barlow became “Kissin’ Kate Barlow” the most feared outlaw in the West.and lat of all how Zero and Stanley found the treasure but the Warden tried to stop them ,but in the end , though ,Zero and Stanley got 1001,000 each.

I could relate to Zero .How hard he works at home ,even though he didn’t have a home ,how hard his life has been and how everyone under estimates his knowledge and what he can and can’t do.i’m always at the bottom of the pecking order, and I always have more chores and work to do than my sister but we both look on the bright side of things.

Personally ,I thought this book was a great and suspense filled story.It had that quick snap and always to the point kind of styled story and how lucky you can get in life compared to Stanley’s, life but he kept thinking happy thought’s.

Australia are going to India to play their sports ,such as cricket [IPL],netball ,hockey and the Olympic games.Aussie cricketers are too nervous, not to compete but for their safety,to go.

Terrorism isn’t unusual in India and some aussie cricketers say”We’re so happy we didnt get in the team”.our hockey team are going and are thanking god that they aren’t very popular in India.Most are talking about what happenned a few weeks ago ,in a hotel in Pune ,175 people died ,including two Aussies.

We think terrorists are trying to send athletes around the world, with a warning from that hotel incident,that if they come to India they will get hurt.We think that terrorists in India are tryng to scare us out for a while so everyone will forfiet ,for they love their sport,and win everything.

Every team from Australia will go to India but are still asking about their security.the netball team says”The place is beautiful but it’s freaky ,people follow us around but don’t seem to want autographs”.

India loves their sport [like i said earlier] and their hoping that they will host the olympic games next,so by terrorists threatening to ruin that for them,they’ll get all the attension they wanted!
