courtland's - explanation



Being a good friend is pretty easy, but you have to be there for your friends and if their upset or they have a problem just ask them whats wrong and make sure there ok.



If you friend need your help with a problem or if she/he upset you need to be there because they might just do something stupid or they might fight with the person there having a problem with.



Friends need you when there upset, crying, or need a hug or just to talk. when your friends are there for you just tell them whats wrong and they will give you advice and make sure your alright. friends should always tell your best friend the truth and never lie to them.



Being a good friend is not that hard, you just have to be there for them and help them get over problems and make everything okay. you could get them to give you advice



Your best friends and you have to get alone really well and would always tell the truth and never lie to each othe. If you promise each other never break that promise because you and your friend would have a big fight and never talk again.



Being a good friend is not that hard, you just have to be there for them and help them get over there problems and to make everything okay. You could give advice about something there upset about. Thats how you shopuld be a good friend.

How to get out of doing maths homework in Mr Charlton’s class DRAFT


In Mr Charlton’s maths class is quite hard to get out of homework; you have to think of really good reasons to get out of it. Reading this will help you think of better reasons for not doing your homework.


There are a number of ways to get out of homework in Mr Charlton’s class and not get more homework. One is family emergency you could say that you had a family member that is really ill and you had to take them to the hospital and that you would not leave there side.


The first step is to explain that one of your family members is really ill. You have to tell Mr Charlton that one of your family member’s is ill and you had to take them to the hospital and that you stayed there with them.


The second step if he does not believe you you’ll have to get a note in your diary signed by your parents saying that you didn’t do your home work because you were at the hospital waiting to see one of the family member’s.


The third step if he still does not believe you get him to ring up your family and get them to tell him that what you said was true and that you have a reason for not doing your homework.


I think that what I told you should work if you have one of those reasons so just get a note or get your parents to ring up and say why you did not do your homework

Minecraft Basics Explanation

This Explanation will explain the basics of Minecraft and what to do when you first spawn (To appear on a random part of the map then you can move about freely) on the map. This will help to give you a good idea on how to make your house and other thing as you read. The first thing you need to do when you sign into Minecraft when starting a new world is name the world then enter the random seed to generate the worlds look.


When you spawn look around and see where you are and then mark your spawn with a piece of sand or anything you wish. If you spawn in an area with mountains around it is a good idea to make a small house inside of the actual mountain because it is helpful. But at the moment you need to go and look for some trees. If you have spawned near a mountain there should always be a forest filled with trees.


Make some wood planks out of the wood you have collected and make a crafting table then make a wooden pick axe. A wooden pick axe is a horrible tool but if you didn’t make one you wouldn’t get very far in the game at all. Make sure you have collected the crafting table that you made earlier then make your house by using the pick axe.


Once you have cut out a reasonable amount from the mountain from your house it is time to upgrade your tools so make yourself a stone pickaxe. By now it is nearly night so you will want some coal 3 pieces of wool and a door. Go and get some wool and coal is usually found inside a mountain so it is easy to find. Go to get about 10 pieces of sand and go to your house.



You should be able to make a furnace with the cobble you have collected, but first you’ll want to make that door for your house so no monsters can get in. Now you will be thinking “Why do I need this worthless sand?” well you need some windows. Now make a furnace and if you have enough wood OR coal you will want to make some windows by putting the sand into the furnace. Now while the glass is cooking make a bed and some torches. Put the door down at the spot of your choice and then the bed and go to sleep. Make some holes to put the windows in then put the glass in. Then light up your room with the torches that you made. Now you have got a good hideout to be safe from the monsters at night.



This is a guide made for the people having a hard time with this game. I hope this helps you play this game without dying all of the time.



Here is a house i have made in the air.
