For this activity I had to watch a short video that was on TV in the country I am visiting. Unfortunately, the video didn't work so I watched the video from Chile (Because it was the next one down on the list). The name of the television show is 31 minutes 1st season. I liked how there were some funny looking characters and I didn't like the quality of the video. I was very fuzzy and I couldn't see much detail. I rated it a 3 out of 5 (***/*****).

For this activity I have to think about which of these sports is the best one: Soccer, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Netball and Cricket.

I always enjoy playing soccer with my friends at school.

For this activity I had to explain why I wouldn't want to be prime minister. 

I wouldn't want to be prime minister one day because if you are prime minister you have to make lots of important decisions. People also might hate the prime minister for the decisions that he/she makes. If you become prime minister you might get very stressful.
