- Friday 23 September 2011- Explanation Giant Panda’s By: Gabrielle Nealon WALT: Explain and use specific detail per paragraph & PLAN properly My first ideas Pandas. I think pandas are huge animals that have a small diet of mostly bamboo or plants. I think that when pandas eat they snap or brake the item of food that they have found then eat it. Panda’s are not very harmful unless they have a baby under the age of 3 months around them.

My WALT: Use specific detail per paragraph & PLAN properly
Introduction The Giant Panda is a universally loved animal that is endangered. It is a member of the bear family even though it is a vegetarian: it eats bamboo. The Giant Panda is one of the most treasured animals in China-the Giant Panda is a native animal to china. In fact, it is the national symbol of the Chinese zoo in Beijing. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Special Features <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Giant Panda is endangered, with an estimated amount of 2,000 pandas left in the wild, by the end of 2006 only 180 pandas where left in captivity. Which means that there are one thousand eight hundred and twenty left out in the dangerous wild of China. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Giant Panda is a very interesting animal. The wild Giant Panda has many addictions, their habitat which is usual around bamboo. The Giant Panda eats bamboo for ninety nine percent of their diet. Bamboo is a green bumpy stick like plant that Panda’s enjoy eating on a daily basis. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Appearance <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The giant panda is a big over weight mammal that is five times a large mans weight.Typically the giant panda has black eyes (like when a woman's eye make-up has run). Black ears and nose and a white head. The body is black around the fore legs then black again around the hind legs. They look large and cuddly but don't believe it - they can be dangerous just like other members of the bear family. The Giant Panda got its name as other panda bears are much smaller. For example the Red Panda, is much smaller and is fast and loves to live in and swing through trees similar to a Koala Bear. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Habitat <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Giant Panda is a very interesting animal because they can live up to the ages of twenty or thirty years in captivity. In the wild the Giant Panda can live up to ten or Twenty years. If you compare those ages together there are ten years in difference ! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">conclusion <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Over all the Giant Panda is a magnificent animal in of the world, The Giant Panda is a special animal because of it’s interesting habitat and appearance. If you don’t try to save the Giant Panda the Giant Panda could become extinct and there will no longer be a Giant Panda.

 * The Tape Dispenser **

To use a tape dispenser is unbelievably easy. It is a wonderfu l and simple mechanism that holds a roll of tape and dispense it in quantities of your liking.

The contraption is built up of various parts that make it serviceable. Some of the main parts are the jagged metal razor, the plastic body of the dispenser, and the plastic axle in the middle of the body. There is also the foamy grip pad underneath the tape dispenser, which prevents it from sliding and scratching the surface it has been placed on. Some tape dispensers also have sand in the plastic body at the bottom to help weigh it down so it will not slide.

The dispenser is a simple gadget to use. Firstly, the end of the tape should already be stretched onto the razor teeth, so take hold of the tape and tug it gently towards you until it is the length that you require. Be careful not to pull it too hard so you end up with too much tape, and try to avoid cutting your fingers on the metal teeth. Next, pull the tape against the razor in a swift, downwards motion , hence cutting the measure of tape in a straight line. As a result, you can now cut approximate lengths of tape for your work.

As you may or may not already know, a tape dispenser isn’t dependent on electricity or batteries, so it can work anytime, day or night. They are used worldwide in offices, shops, schools, homes, and companies and serve themselves as a reliable working equipment. They’re cheap and can be used to stick objects together, wrap a present, hold a piece of paper or an item to a surface, or even hold items down.

As the world leaps farther into the technology and science of the future, clever effective equipment such as a tape dispenser will surely stay the simple ingenious tool it has been for many more generations.

 * What Happens When You Are Asleep? **

Firstly some people may grind their teeth, suck their thumbs, sleep walk, sleep talk, snore, and pedal their legs. It’s all very embarrassing but you don’t have to worry because it’s all part of life and every one does one or two of them. They will grow out of it.

Secondly your body slows down, your mouth stops making saliva, your heart beats slower, and your breathing slows downs.

As well as that when you sleep you can hear what is going on around you. You would be able to hear the alarm clock or, if you’re like my mother, a baby crying. If you hear anything unusual you would instantly wake up.

Finally while you are sleeping you also dream. Dreaming is when your have a long vision in your head while you are asleep. Nobody knows what their dreams mean. Some people sit with tape recorders and notebooks on their bedside tables. I don’t think our dreams mean anything. They are just there to keep us busy while we are asleep. This is what happens when we are aslee

1st Main Idea Is the habit's that some people have when they are asleep

- It has very descriptive words for example: - secondly your body slows down - embarrassing moments yesterday .It is based on a interesting subject It is something we don’t tend to know alot about as kids because it is not something you think about often.

- it is in paragraphs and has one main idea per paragraph for example: - the second paragraph is about the habits some people have when they are sleeping like sucking your thumb, grinding your teeth or peddling your legs
