Auckland vs Syria


Auckland
As the sun beamed through my glass window, I could smell the scent of bacon and eggs sizzling on the stove. I climbed out of my warm, cozy bed and slowly made my way out into the kitchen. I waited for my plate to be served. I dug in immediately, thankful that I had a full stomach and a great life. “My mum is amazing!” I said to myself.

Syria
The gun shot fired with a loud bang. Everything after that moment just broke down into drama and chaos. I jumped out of my bed and froze on the stone cold floor. My family and I tried to find a safe spot to shelter from. Everyone panicked and my family was in a tragic state and certainly not prepared to go through this terrifying disaster.



Auckland
Shouting and cheering went on outside as my friends and I played with the sports gear under the sunshine. I was happy that I had great friends to spend time with. My mum called out “lunch is ready!” and I could see her holding a platter with sandwiches, fruit and other snacks to fill us right up!

Syria
My stomach grumbled as I waited patiently for any food possible while my mother begged for food outside our tent. It was midday but the sun was hiding, leaving us with only the smallest amount of light in the day. I didn’t worry about anything but the condition of my family. I only wished for a better life.

Auckland
The door closed with a slight creak as my mum softly said goodnight. I looked out of my bedroom window at the million twinkling stars that lit the night sky. I covered myself with my warm blankets and waited to get tired enough to fall asleep.

Syria

We piled up to keep ourselves warm, now the only source of heat was body heat. My sleep was very uncomfortable because we could hardly move and the floor was as hard as rock. I was cold, uncomfortable, sad and scared all at the same time. I was worried about what would happen to me in the future.

My AWESOME Holiday


Ok, now’s the part where I tell you that my title doesn’t actually explain the truth about my story. In fact, my holiday was the suckiest (I still wonder if that’s a word?!) holiday in the universe and that is NOT, I’ll spell it, N-O-T an exaggeration! I won’t tell you all of the stupid details because you’ll probably fall asleep!

When the holidays actually started basically all I did was sleep! I woke up really late and once I woke up I had lunch. Does that give you a hint? I pretty much did that through-out the entire holidays. That must be the reason why the holidays went so quick for me!

I did nothing interesting for the rest of the holidays and I’m going to end up tiring MYSELF if I go on anymore! I can’t wait for the next holidays . . . . . . CHRISTMAS!!! Are you excited?
