PARTNER PICTURE PROMPT
PARTNER PICTURE PROMPT
Plan:
When? Early in the morning
Where? In the Amazon Forest
Who? Hippo, David
How? Camping
What? David is getting chased by the hippo.
Why? The hippo smelt food
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As David woke up somewhere around the Amazon forest,
he heard a loud grunt outside his tent. He sees a shadow creeping up towards him and
BOOM the hippo crashes the tent just like so. Once the hippo found out he had food he
went ballistic and stomped on his tent smashing and trampling on all of his belongings
leaving very little of his valuables left. David ran out as fast as he could before the hippo
could possibly injure him, but instead the hippo’s reflexes were fast and nipped on his
clothes off of David including his undergarments. The hippo quickly tried to catch up,
David sidesteps the monstrous beast leading the herbivore to smash into a tree
and end up getting concussed badly.But that did not stop the beast as he still chased
after him. All of a sudden David trips over a large rock falling right beside a
Brazilian wandering spider, he is shocked as the spider penetrates his fang into his
flesh he quickly rushes to his car to get inside the trunk without realising in the situation
he is left there to rot and die alone.

As I walked towards the cafe I saw a young male playing a guitar. He started playing songs that many people liked. A group of people started to form a crowd around the guitarist.

CASE STUDY 3 - BUSINESS
Sam Morgan
Where did Sam Morgan’s interest in buying and selling come from?
When he wanted to buy a second hand heater for his draughty apartment. He searched through the internet to check if anyone wanted to sell him a heater, but found no options on any New Zealand websites. He decided to create trade me when he came to realisation that no one wanted to sell heaters at an affordable and reasonable price.
Describe the early days of Trade Me.In the beginning, Trade me wasn't very successful as it only had 5,000 people customers and 200,000 people viewing. A way to make it more successful is that he would need to create ads, but Sam didn't have enough money to do so. He even tried to sell the website on eBay for the price of 1 mill, but later on it was taken off since no bids were placed. After a while he then sold almost half the company to several former Deloitte colleagues for $75,000. Luckily he was then able to quit his job and then work full time on his website.
How did Sam Morgan turn Trade Me into a multi-million dollar enterprise?With a bit of perseverance, he was able to turn Trade me in to a multi-million business. He was constantly resistant especially in time where his business wasn't doing to well. At the start he thought that he wasn’t going to do well but after he sold part of his company he did much better as he was able to put all of his time and effort into his business.

ATHLETICS DAY
For athletics day I decided to do do social. The sports that we did is: Sprints, Discuss and long jump.
What I liked about this day was discuss because its easy and quick. Something that could be improved is adding more sports like shot put and high jump considering that wen only did three. I personally think I did best at discuss mainly because I actually tried. Something that i could improve on is long jump, im not very confident but I can get pretty far.

Loss of Human Rights - Iqbal Masih
Lawyer paragraph
Iqbal lost his human rights at the age of four when he was in bonded labour.
His social environment changed negatively when he was no longer with his family.He couldn't attend school or celebrate special events. At the age of four, Iqbal's father
was no longer able to support his family and so his only choice was to sell Iqbal
into bonded labour. When Iqbal was four, he was already working with only one
break for lunch. This caused him to have a lot of stress at a very young age as
he was mentally and physically abused. His right to education was also sadly
taken away. When Iqbal was already able to pay off the debt he should've been able to
be released, but unfortunately he got played and he was never released.
This is one of many examples on how Iqbal lost
his human rights and changed his life forever.
Economic gain
Hussain Khan's labourers are mostly younger people or children, because one, they are
easy to maintain, they don't need big portions of food making it cheaper as khans food
products would lessen and they are less mentally strong than adults that basically means
they won't make a big fuss about it but instead they will easily be manipulated into
getting the job done. Khan has many ways to make his economy better.
