=** COMMUNICATION **= BY HEATHER-ROSE

Communication has been in the world for a long time. It has started as long ago as 3500 BC. There are many different types including the telephone, computer, Internet, and so much more.

The Chinese invented the paper in 305 AD. It is very luck that the Chinese invented the paper because now, we wouldn’t be printing paper, writing on it in our schoolbooks, and so much more.

The first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Since then, there has been many types of telephones including:

- The candlestick Telephone. - The Wall-Set Telephone. - The Mobile Phone and - The Wireless Telephone. Telephones are very different than they are now.

There are many types of communications that people with disabilities use. Some of these types are:

-Braille. -Sign language. -and many more.

Braille is a type of communication that is made up of dots that people who are blind can feel and know where they are going. You might see these dots on the toilet doors, at your favorite restaurant, even at school! Blind people can even use dogs that help them around. They are called Guide Dogs

Sign language is a language that is used with the hands to make letters that make up words for people who are deaf. Sign language has been around for a long time.

Samuel Morse invented Morse Code. There was a machine that made dots and dashes represent letters of the alphabet. For example the letter H would be dot, dot, dot, dot.

The first computer [the typewriter] was invented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1874. The typewriter was a computer used a lot of paper because if you made a mistake you couldn’t backspace, even if you were at the end of your piece of work. It would have been very annoying.

The Aboriginal Language is a communication that Aboriginal people use to communicate. There are approximately 250 different languages. One of the languages is called Wajarri. The Aboriginal Language also includes symbols that people can make up storys from. Some of these symbols include:

- a person sitting - Fire - Campsite - Cracks in the ground - And so many more.

The Aboriginal Language of Wajarri would be very hard for the English people to pronounce because it has a different sound to the English language.

A Computer Linking Network invented the Internet in the 1990’s. The Internet is a very useful part of our lives and the people of Australia practically use it every day of their life. In the world, there can be wireless internet [which we have at school], dial up internet, and modems.

John Logie Baird invented the television in 1926. It is a form that many people over the world use to find out what’s happening in other countries including: - Indonesia - United States Of America - Italy - Etc.

Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio in 1901. It is a very big part of our lives because we usually listen to it every day!

Communication is a very useful part of our lives. In the years to come, we hope there will be many other forms.

EXPOSITION- WHY CHILDREN SHOULD RECEIVE $20 POCKET MONEY EACH WEEK, REGARDLESS OF THEIR BEHAVIOUR AND ATTITUDE! BY HEATHER-ROSE  I AGREE! I AGREE THAT CHILDREN SHOULD RECEIVE $20 POCKET MONEY EACH WEEK, REGARDLESS OF BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE. HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY. I THINK THAT CHILDREN SHOULD GET $20 POCKET MONEY BECAUSE SOMETIMES, CHILDREN JUST HAVE BAD DAYS. OR WEEKS! THEY SHOULD GET IT BECAUSE THEY EARN IT. AND DESERVE IT. THEY ALSO TRY THEIR HARDEST IN ALL AREAS AT HOME AND SCHOOL. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">SECONDLY, THEY ALSO NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SAVE. THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SAVE FOR SOMETHING THEY WANT. THAT COULD BE AN ELECTRONIC ITEM LIKE AND iPOD, NINTENDO DS, CAMERAS, DVD'S AND CD'S.   <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">THIRDLY, IT HELPS US WITH OUR RESPONSIBILITY. WE MIGHT BE 10-12 YEARS OLD AN NEARLY A TEENAGER. WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF WE DI LOSE STUFF IN THE FUTURE. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">FOURTHLY, IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO BUY PRESENTS FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THAT CAN BE A MONEY SAVER BECAUSE THE CHILDREN CAN BUY PRESENTS THAT THEY WANT TO BUY AND THEY CAN CHOOSE IT WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS HOUNDING THEM. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">FIFTHLY, I THINK THAT CHILDREN SHOULD GET $20 BECAUSE THEY DO THEIR CHORES. SOMETIMES THEY EVEN DO MORE WITHOUT TELLING THEIR PARENTS SO IT TAKES OFF THE STRESS. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">WELL, THAT SUMS UP WHY I THINK THAT CHILDREN SHOULD GET $20 EACH WEEK. I HOPE I CONVINCE ALL PARENTS TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN THAT!
