Dodgeball is a team sport in which players on two opposing teams try to throw balls and hit opponents while avoiding being hit themselves. The objective is to eliminate all opposing team members by hitting them with balls or catching a ball thrown by an opponent.
Our school participated in a dodgeball competition for the first time and won the runner-up award. We were very happy and excited. Many thanks to our coach Miss Pokey and our principal, Miss Adriana, for their leadership.

If I could change my school’s rules, I would get rid of homework because it leaves us no time to play! One time, I had about 10 pieces of homework, all due the next day. There was no time to play, watch TV or read that night.
The new school rules would be that students must play and have fun. We will still go to class, but they will be fun and sometimes, we will get snacks.
I would also make it mandatory for my school to have a bouncy castle and a giant slide for students. These rules would create a fun learning environment.

Are reality shows exploiting people? In my opinion, yes. Reality shows aim to keep audiences glued to the screen for as long as possible. They promote an environment where the contestants are encouraged to do whatever it takes to win, even if it means betraying others.
Producers only care about the money and don’t feel compassion for their contestants. They rely on ordinary people revealing personal problems or experiences. They harm and humiliate contestants.
