Homework

This is my homework for this week:

Keep or Change the flag

These are my reasons to Keep or Change the NZ flag:

Introduction:

This year between the 3rd - 24th March New Zealand will be having a referendum ( which is where everyone in that country votes ) about changing or keeping the flag. If you want to vote you have to be 18 and over. We have already had the first vote now it is the second vote and it is down to two flags the flag we have now with the union jack and the new flag the flag with the silver fern on it. If we change the flag we will not be part of the commonwealth so it is very important decision to make.  

History:

History is the key to keeping us together. The NZ flag was adopted in 1902. The flag we have now is the third flag we have had. The four stars on the flag represent the Southern Cross. This flag we have now was took to war with all of the soldiers and hundreds died under this flag. We have won the rugby world cup three times with flag. Even if we do change the flag we will start a new history with it.

Keep:

Take a chance and keep the NZ flag. Instead of changing the flag we could use all of the money on something more important like giving some to charity or fundraising schools or more important things. We took the flag to war how special is that we don't want to take that away from us. And lots of soldiers died under the flag how sad is that and if we change the flag that will be all gone. The flag has been in our country for generations why change it now. Please say yes and keep the flag!

Change:

Change the flag because we care. We should change the flag because it is getting too old and we need a change. The flag is too similar to Australia's flag. The new flag is more NZ not britain. It would look better on uniforms. It is more NZ because it has the Silver Fern. We need a change because we need to we have had that flag for too long we need to change it is about to time we change the flag and have a new one.

Conclusion:

I think we should change the flag we have had the old flag for too long it is about time NZ express them self and change the flag with a bit more NZ on it!
