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.

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.

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.

Do you really hate it when you leave your homework at home when its due that day? or can you just not be stuffed doing it?. Well I'm going to tell you 3 effective ways to con your teacher in letting you hand it in the next day.

The first and most reliable excuse would be that one of your relatives was seriously injured and is in hospital and your famly went to see him/her. this has a good chance of working and works better if you have a note from your parents saying it actualy happened.

The second excuse you could use would be that you saw a kid walking around a lake. then saw tghem fall in so you jumped in to save them. but you had your homework in your back pocket and it got rewend. this excuse works good if you show your teacher a rewend peice of paper.

The last excuse you could try is that you were walking down the street last night. then a ufo can down and took your home work. then tha aliens said the needed to use it to studdy the human brain and would return it tommorow. this excuse has a big chance of not working if your teacher dosnt believe in aleins.

I hope these excuses help you in the future and dont get you in to much trouple. try to be confident and sound casual so the teacher believes you. thank you for reading.

How To Be a Good Friend

There are many ways to become a good friend. It could either take a lot of work, depending on how close you want to be with your friend, or it could be really easy. By using some of the examples on how to become a good friend below and if you stick to it and persist, you could be the friend everyone wants.

You need to be really nice to your friends. Help them when they need it. Treat them how you would want to be treated. For example: Use your manners. Don't treat them rudely otherwise they will probably not want to be friends with you anymore.

Earn your friends trust. Tell them things, showing that you trust them, then they will realise you're trustworthy. Let them know that you'll always be there for them, no matter what. When they're sad, cheer them up. Make them smile when no one else can.

Back your friends up in fights. Support them through it all. No matter how silly or bad the fight is, you will help them and back them up as much as possible. If they know that you will help them through a fight and support them, then they will help and support you back.

These are the main things you can easily do to be a good friend. Once you earn their trust, you could even become best friends. Make sure you're honest to them. Don't keep things from them that they should know. Don't talk about them behind their back, unless it's something they want someone to know. Stay positive, even though there are ups and downs, you can still become a good friend.

How To Set Up A Fish Tank

Once you have brought the fish tank there are a few things you need to think about before buying the fish.

When you choose a place for the tank to go in the house it needs to be away from loud noises such as TV's, radios, washing machines and fridges. Fish get stressed out when exposed to the loud noise.

Before the tank is filled with water, it needs to be wiped clean with a new cloth and warm water.

Now it's time to add some decorations and electrical equipment to the tank. Once you choose what decorations you want to place in the tank, make sure you wash them before putting them in the tank. Also have a mixture of real and artificial plants. A filter is needed to maintain clear and healthy water. A heater is also needed to maintain the right temperature for your fish.

Now you know how to set up a fish tank, you can buy a fish. Fishes are a great first pet and are easy to look after.

Explanation

How To Be A Good Friend!

A friend is a person you can trust with your secrets and be able to tell them anything and they wont judge you. But how do you be a good friend?

To make friends you have to introduce yourself and make conversation. To make conservation you could ask them where they are from, when their birthday is, if they have any brothers or sisters, what kind of sport they play and if they have any pets. Try to be nice and polite. Answer their questions honestly and try to find things in common.

To be a good friend you have to listen to your friends and help them with their problems no matter what they are. You have to have some sense of humour, you have to respect them and what they want. Include them and if they don't want to do something you shouldn't pressure them into it.

To keep a friendship you should keep every secret they tell you, even the little ones because they are the ones that matter. Stick up for them when someone is dissing them and never pick a fight with them. Being good friends doesn't mean that you have everything in common and you like the same things although these things do help, it means that you have differences and you are willing to accept and work around them.

Without friends your life would be dull and boring. Friends can turn bad days into good days and true friends will be with you through no matter what.
