Imagine that you were one of the Duggar children and you had 18 brothers and sisters. What do you think it would be like to have so many sisters and brothers living with you in one house? On your blog please tell us what you would like and what you wouldn’t like about living in such a large family.

I would love to have a big family because there would be more help with chores, more fun and you could go to a lot of places together and it would be fun.

Reasons why I wouldn’t like a big family is because there would be more chores, the house would be sometimes really loud, there would be lease room in the house and you would be waiting for your turn in the shower/Toilet. But I think it would be worth it living in such a big family.

According to numerous researchers and fitness experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They argue that people who eat breakfast will have more energy, be in a better mood, be able to think more clearly, do better at school and end up healthier than people who don’t eat breakfast.

Interestingly, not everyone agrees. In fact, some people believe that breakfast is not the most important meal of the day because people often eat too much food at breakfast time, gain weight and become unhealthy. They think that it is better to skip breakfast and eat a number of small meals later in the day.

After reading the arguments presented above, what do you think? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Why or why not?

Sometimes when I have breakfast in the morning I can't think properly because there’s so much things in my brain, but when I don't have breakfast my mind is empty and I can think. I personally think that it's really up to the person whether they want to have their breakfast or not. So for some people it’s important and for others it’s not.

You can use your imagination and create any ending that you want. To earn full points, you must post, at least 8-10 sentences, on your blog.

1. I looked around the room. Nothing seemed unusual, but then…

2. I knew it was going to be an unusual day when my mom came into my bedroom and said...

3. The spaceship was out of control and only one person could save us....

The spaceship was out control and only one person could save us, my grandpa. But he was overseas. We didn’t really know what to do cause our Spaceship was out of control, smoke was coming out the the engines.

We tried calling him but he didn’t answer, we kept on getting put on voice mail. So we waited for a while to call him again. This time he picked up I was so relieved, we told him about the problem he told us he’ll be on his way.

A few moments later there was a knock on the door, my grandpa was finally here. He examined the spaceship and was taking notes. I was so confused but I let him do his thing. When he was done examining the spaceship, he said the problem is that there is a leak in the engine and that it’s taking out all of the oil and petrol.

It took about a day to get it fixed but we managed to get through it. The spaceship was all good now and my grandpa had to go back home.

Read the following three reviews of books that are really popular right now in Canada. If you had to choose one for Curious Kiwi to read on the plane, which one would you choose? Post the name of the book that you would chose on your blog. Below the title explain why you would choose that book.

Book 3: Diary of a Wimpy Kid – The Ugly Truth

Greg Heffley has always been in a hurry to grow up. But is getting older really all it’s cracked up to be? Greg suddenly finds himself dealing with the pressures of boy-girl parties, increased responsibilities, and even the awkward changes that come with getting older—all without his best friend, Rowley, at his side. Can Greg make it through on his own? Or will he have to face the “ugly truth.”

I would choose Book 3 because I am a fan of Diary of a wimpy kid and the font helps me read it clearer. It also is very interesting and it encourages me to continue reading the book.

Think about all of the books that you have read this year and recommend one for Curious Kiwi to read. On your blog list the title and author of the book and then provide a short description of it. What is the book about?

Title: The 39-Story Treehouse

Author: Andy Griffiths

This book is about Andy and Terries. They make a 39th floor in their tree house, on their 39th floor they make something they regret on making. So they call the man that un-invents things and tells him to uninvent their invention, he does but he also continues to un-invent other things.

This book is really creative and really really funny. I really think if you take this book on the plane you will finish the whole book in an hour or more. You will probably want to read the rest of his books.
