A dog has many amazing abilities. A dog’s sense of smell is 100 000 times more sensitive than a human. Their advanced memory can help them remember things for over six months. Using this incredible sense of smell and good memory, a god can help soldiers to track and hunt. Some dogs can read and react to signs. With all these abilities, a dog can be a guide dog, a farm dog, airport detective dog and a explosion detective dog.

Dogs can become a guide dog that helps blind or low vision people. The dog helps lead them to their destination by using their great sense of smell and direction. Before a guide dog can help people, they must go through a five-month intensive program with 80 training sessions. They are taught how to crossroads and look out for obstacles. Without guide dogs, people would have trouble getting from one place to another.

Farm dogs are used to herd animals together and guard the farm. The dog can help to round sheep, cows and bringing them to another location. An Australian Cattle dog is the best breed for farm dogs as they are fierce and loyal. A farm dog is trained by farmers. If farm dogs were not around farmers would struggle getting animals into a herd.

An airport detective dog works in the department of border security. It helps finding prohibited and restricted goods. It can help stop terrorist from bring in bombs. These dogs can help smell out drugs or live animals. German Shepard and Labrador dogs are the most common breed used as airport detection dogs. Without these dogs, many people would be bring in prohibited items.

The dogs can help soldiers in battle ground by helping them to track and hunt using their abilities. Explosive detection dogs might be the most important in war zone countries because it helps locate bombs and prevent suicide attacks. It is important to locate bombs before it is triggered because it will save thousands of lives. Many people in warzone countries and being brain washed or forced to suicide. Therefore, these dogs are important to everyone because it can help stop deaths and destruction.

A dog can do many things such as being a guide dog, farm dog, airport detective dog and a explosive detection dog. Dogs has a wonderful ability such as smelling hearing, hunting and tracking.

When I step into the house of the future, there will be a robot that at the door waiting to meet me. As it can recognise my face, it opens the door for me. The robot looks exactly like a real human with real hair and skin. It also speaks like a human and can respond to all questions. There are many ways a house of the future can look like with a robot. The robot can do many things such as check my health and mood. If I am sick, it will diagnose my condition how a doctor would. It can recommend me the medication depending on my conditions or recommend me a list of doctors to consult. When I wake up early in the morning, the robot can help me draw the curtains to introduce the morning light. It helps me brush my teeth and wash my face.

As I enter the kitchen, the screen of the futuristic fridge automatically opens showing different types of food I could eat. It plans the food based on my health conditions. I could quickly press the most expensive and nutritious food and the robot would instantly start cooking it. The utensils moved around waiting for me to pick it up. Once I was finished, the robot took the plates to the sink to wash. The robot automatically started washing it quickly.

The television scanned my face to see if I was an intruder and turned on once it knew it was me. The television screen was as big as an elephant. There were many different movies to choose from. The blinds in the living room will go down and the lights dimmed automatically. The chair that I will sit has many buttons on the side with different functions. It could provide a luxurious full body massage with aroma therapy. The high-tech chair can transform into a hover board if I am tired of walking in house of the future. All chores including laundry, mopping and cleaning will be performed by the robot. My job will be to command the robot what to do. This is the house of the future sometime that I visualise.

War is violent conflict between gangs, states and countries. In the past, many wars are caused by one country wanting to gain new territories and money. War is horrific and destructive in many ways. Experiencing a war can cause physical and mental issues to soldiers and their families.

Injuries or deaths are horrific outcomes in wars. Soldiers that help fight in a war might suffer from major or minor injuries. In some examples, they might lose limbs or arms. There are many landmines that have been placed all around Afghanistan that traps people from moving from places to places. Landmines can blow people’s limbs off or potentially kill them. There are many wars that are going on around the world that has been going on for many of years. The war in Afghanistan has been going on since 1978 and is still going. Brutal war must be stopped due to injuries and death.

Wars can cause mental issues to soldiers and their families. In wars, soldiers are experiencing disruptive and horrific events. After the war, soldiers might suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression. Every night, they suffer from nightmares. There are many hospitals that helps them recover from any traumas that they have. Some parents might get anxiety from being stressed about their children getting hurt again. Wars will cause mental issues.

Tanks, bombs, and landmines can destroy buildings and houses. Workers have put hard work and time to build the building only for it to get destroyed. Rebuilding buildings can cost money and time. Some people might not have enough money to rebuild it causing them to be homeless. Buildings might fall over causing people to get injured or die. Many organisations such as Red Cross, Salvation Army and more that are trying to help victims of the war to recover and rebuild houses.

Wars should not be encouraged and started as it can cause mental and physical issues to the victims. Buildings will also collapse and it would cost money to rebuild it. Governments should help try stop wars.

To celebrate the end of the challenging year 2020, my parents brought my brother and I on a holiday to Apollo Bay. Apollo Bay is an Australian town in Victoria. It is along the Great Ocean road. t is approximately 87.1 square kilometres. The population in 2016 was 1618 people. There is many places nearby such as Great Otway National Park and more.

Apollo Bay was first settled by timbers cutters in the 1950s who sold sawmills nearby. Back then it was called Krambruk but now it is called Apollo Bay. The name “Apollo Bay” was was named after Captain Loutit when he stopped there with his vessel called Apollo.

According to the guide book, Apollo Bay is one of the major tourist areas in Victoria with its wonderful beaches and activities. It is well know for its delicious pies, especially the scallop pie. In the Great Otway National Park, near Apollo bay, there is protected species of animals and trees. There is also a huge zipline tour with eight stations. My family and I took the challenge to go on the zipline despite the fear of height. Each station is about 100 metre long. Beside zipline, we had lots of fun at the beach. Its beaches has a wonderful view of the sunset.

Recently on the news, there has been many articles about homeless people living on the streets. In my opinion, I strongly disagree that homelessness is the biggest issue in society but it is still a serious problem. There are many other issues that is more important and serious than homelessness such as global warming, coronavirus and more.

Homelessness is not having enough money, shelter, food, clean water and education. Although many people die each year from homelessness, coronavirus is more serious because there has been 1.93 million deaths. Many hospitals and medical centres are being flooded with infected patients everyday. Doctors and scientist are working tirelessly trying to get the vaccine. Homelessness is different from coronavirus because homelessness has been going on for many years but coronavirus has been going on for more than one year. 

Global warming is also more serious then homelessness because in a few years a lot of icebergs will melt and the ocean level will rise. In more than a hundred years time many countries will be flooded if people do not do anything about it.  It has been going on for thousands of years. Some governments around the world are trying to stop it by using renewable energy such as wind turbines, dams and water turbines. Global warming is not that important now but in a few years time, people will suffer from the Earth getting hotter.

Bushfires is very important because thousands of trees have been burnt down causing animals such as wallabies, kangaroos, koalas and more to lose their habitats. Many houses ,farms and shops have been destroyed in the bushfires. In the 2019-2020 bushfire crisis, over 59 million hectares has been burnt. The Australian government is trying to help owners of burnt houses and farms by giving them money to rebuild it. 

Homelessness is less important in the world now because there is a lot of things happening right now such as coronavirus,  global warming and bushfires. Even though homelessness is not the biggest issue in society people should still help them.

What makes life meaningful is working towards a goal or achievement in life even if it means hard work and persistence. It can also mean making a living by getting a job. Securing a job is not so easy; it takes years and years of learning and getting the experience. Many famous actors, singers, basketballers and more have worked hard to be as good as they are now. Famous basketball player Michael Jordan was looked down as a teenager and almost committed suicide but now he is a former professional basketball player. Hard work can mean different things like learning, training or repeating tasks.  They have put in tireless hours to achieve their dream. Making life meaningful can also be treasuring time, family and relationships. Spending time with family can mean playing games, telling jokes and many more. If you do spend precious time with them, when they grow up they will have a family and might not be able to spend time with you. Research have shown that parents that did not spend time with their children suffer from depression.  A meaningful life is not only working towards a goal or spending time with family but it also can mean having fun, enjoying life and making hobbies. Having fun means enjoying tasks such as going on vacations, playing computer games or something else.  

Two years ago, the teachers brought us to Sovereign Hill at Ballarat. The Winter was almost at its end when we went there. Gold flakes shimmered in the clear river under the sun. Calm waters flowed down the stream gently. I could hear birds chirping in the distance. The cool breeze brushed my face. Trees swayed back and forth in the wind. I ran around playfully enjoying the bright sunlight. We would play games on the hill as we waited for the teachers.  My friends would spend tireless hours trying to find some gold. Large birds spied on us from far away. My earliest moments were filled with images of my friends laughing their heads off. Today, I stand at the same exact spot I stood two years ago.

John walked down the deserted streets filled with broken robots. The air was polluted by the metallic smell and made him want to vomit. It seemed like there was no human existence. There was disgusting rubbish all over the floor. Darkness filled the lonely world. There was no sound to be heard other than the rusty robots dragging itself on the dirty streets. Scared, he quickly ran back home. Suddenly, at the corner of his eye, he saw an old abandoned factory on the top of the hill while he was running. He took a few steps back to get a better look. After a while of pondering, he realised that the factory was not there before. Wondering what was inside the factory he crossed the road and went up the hill.

Curiously, he peered through the window and saw white sheets covering the heavy machinery. After a while of inspecting the factory, he saw what looked like a human, but it was standing completely still. “It might be a mannequin, but the skin looks real,” he thought to himself. Not caring what consequences he might get, he went into the factory. Being a scientist, he wanted to inspect the real looking mannequin. Suddenly, bright red lights turned on in the robot’s eyes. Large garage doors opened revealing thousands of robots.
“Intruder alert!” the robots shouted repeatedly.

John quickly grabbed one of the robots and deactivated it because he wanted to run tests on it. The other robots started chasing him. He ran as fast as his legs could go out of the factory but as he came closer to the exit the huge doors slammed shut tightly. He was trapped inside. In a panic, he searched the factory for other escape routes. There was no other option. He ran under the nearby desk for shelter while he reprogramed the deadly robot. Once he was done, he ran for his life to the closed exit and held the robot to his face and pressed the giant red button on the back. Huge lasers came out of its eyes and destroyed all the robots.
“I’ll be back!” shouted the big robot before he deactivated.

Bob sat on the couch, feeling bored, thinking what he should do in this cool afternoon. After some pondering, he had thought of a brilliant idea to go hiking alone. The weather was perfect and it was neither too hot nor too cold. Quickly, he packed things that he needed into his hiking bag. Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, he pulled out a map and planned carefully a route in the mountains. Excitedly, he began his hike up the mountain. His long and tiring walk began.

Bob looked at his watch realised that two hours had gone by. Feeling breathless, he decided to take a rest on the ground. At that moment, the sky darkened, and the wind began howling fiercely. The angry wind blew stronger and the branches flew off.  In a flash, it started raining heavily. Lighting struck and thunder roared. Bob looked around to see if there was any shelter he could go to. In the distance, he could see bright light flickering on and off in a nearby house. He ran as fast as he could to the lights. As he came closer, he could see that the house was a dilapidated attap hut on a deserted piece of land in the mountains. Suddenly, the lights disappeared into the night.

Curiously, he looked through the window of the house and saw white sheets covering the furniture. He rang the door bell and waiting for a response. The people in the house seemed to have been swallowed up in the bowel of the earth. No one answered the doorbell despite Bob repeatedly pressing the doorbell and knocking the door. Bob shivered coldly and decided to go into the dilapidated house without permission. Carefully, he opened the door slowly. The house was deserted and so quiet. He could only hear the ticking of a clock on the wall. Curiously, he inspected the house. As he went into the living room, there was a moving shadow in a shape of a human figure behind the curtains. His mind started racing and his heart beated rapidly. Shocked about the thought that it could be a ghost, he ran to the door.

Nervously, Bob tried to open the door but it was bolted from the outside. As he looked behind him, the mysterious shadow seemed to be coming closer and closer by the minute. His heart was pounding so wildly in his chest that he could barely look. Like a leaf in the storm outside, Bob trembled and shook uncontrollably. He had no choice but to run as fast as his legs could go, he smashed the window to escape the eerie house.
