DUCK SHOOTING SEASON
On Saturday the 7th of May
The Duck Shooting Season started the grey duck shooting season this year which will last until the end of May.
More than 40,000 hunters on Saturday morning for the opening of the duck season.
The duck shooting season is about the hunters competing against each other to win the hunting season.
And they also compete in other competition like the duck calling competition and the black swan competition.
The duck season is a great way to go outside with family and other people.
This is when most hunters take part and most birds are shot. Some birds that are shoot during the season are Grey ducks, Mallards, black swans, Turkeys and pheasant.

MY PERSUASIVE WRITING
TECHNOLOGY 
Over the past few years technology has taken over society. My generation uses technology, more than adults and elders.
Technology has seen a massive change happen over the last 15 or so years. My generation have been more addicted to technology for an extremely long time.
Media technology has made our lives different giving us the freedom to do work and learn also in the comfort of our homes. For example, I can do my work at home and others I work on at task can be doing the same at the same time. This means it has made communication easier and quicker. A document now takes a few seconds to reach anywhere in the world compared to regular mail which can take several days to reach its destination.
The creation, appearance and size of digital devices and internet communication has
become a main link in communicating with others. It has become an additive part of our life and it is everywhere and it is impossible to escape from. Teenagers all over the world are growing up in a world, like us, where we use the internet more often than we do with our PS4s to communicate in everyday life.
The internet is fun, informative such as our blogs and a great way of communicating with others. It's a tool we use and we can learn about almost anything from. Sharing information through the internet is easy, cheap and fast too. Teenagers have access to billions of websites containing information in the form of text, pictures and videos. For example, Facebook is clearly the main source of communication for teenagers today. The others like Twitter Snap-chat are also some sites teenagers would use.
I KNOW THAT TECHNOLOGY WILL CONTINUE TO BE APART OF OUR LIVES NO MATTER HOW OR WHERE WE ARE.
