Today I learned some amazing things can octopus can do. One thing they can do is they can break off one of it's arms and then the arm will change colour and squirm around in the water to distract the predator.

Life Journey

Life Journey

Today my speech is about life Journey,Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, and joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges in our life.

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings to disguise, only we don't realize that at the time.

Time stops for no one, and if we allow ourselves to focus on the negative thing we might miss out on some really amazing things that life has to offer. We can't go back to the past, we can only take the lessons that we have learned and the experiences that we have gained from it and move on. It is because of the heartaches, as well as the hardships, that in the end help to make us a stronger person.

The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don't always know their purpose until it is too late. They all play some kind of role. Some may stay for a lifetime; others may only stay for a short while.

People will come and go into our lives quickly, but sometimes we are lucky to meet that one special person that will stay in our hearts forever no matter what. Even though we may not always end up being with that person and they may not always stay in our life for as long as we like, the lessons that we have learned from them and the experiences that we have gained from meeting that person, will stay with us forever.

Why do people need to drink water


Today I’m going to  explain about why people need to drink water
And what it does to make a healthy body.

The reason why we need to drink water is that sometimes in can come up to sickness and you can get breast cancer.

Most people drink water to keep their bodies healthy from the inside and the outside and it help with oxygen and keep use fit and strong.

The reason why we need to drink water is that sometime you get lazy,tired,unhappy and angry.

Here's what happens to your body when you don't drink enough water. Water is essential for human life. It accounts for for 50-70% of our body weight and is crucial for most bodily functions. Any deficit in normal body water.

The thing that I want all of us to do is to drink lot of water and healthy food that don’t eat sugar.
