Pseudoscience Task

Walt: Find and link information across a range of texts

What was the author's main message in pseudoscience

This story kind of sounded convincing because the things that were in the article that my family say. So you really don’t know if it is true i think this main message was not to always believe in the article or other things that scientists say. I thought this was all a lie because chocolate is just something that makes you hyped also carrots are just healthy food that why i thought it was a lie but you never know.

What are some of the differences between scientists and advertisers?

Scientists	Advertisers
The need to explain there method with enough detail.	They say chocolate can improve your memory.
sometimes scientists mostly test things instead of selling them.	They say that carrots makes your eyes see through the dark.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading. 

One of the things that I've learnt about it how they make vitamin c also to not believe the myth that scientists and advertisers say. I’ve also learnt not to always eat sweats and to just cut it down from eating sweets all the time.

characteristics

What it means to be a good role model. Are you a good role model, do you show
support, encourage & show respect to other people? In this explanation writing I am going to be
explaining the reasons of what a good role model is & how a good role model sounds and acts.

Good role models are the types of people who encourage, motivate and respect other people.
Good role models encourage others to never ever give up, they motivate people to strive and
succeed, respect their peers and treat others the way they want to be treated. For example one of my role
models is my mama. My mama has always encouraged and motivated me throughout my life at school.
My mama has always encouraged me and told me that I should never give up with the things I do and
achieve.

To me being a good role model is someone who is positive all the way, confident with all things in life
and someone who is bubbly and funny. Role models are people who are positive, being positive is a big
thing in being a role model. Being a role model you have to be confident and face the challenges in life.
You may not always be happy with the things you do but it’s best to be positive all the time.
My mother is another role model of mine because she is very confident with the things she does, she is
positive most of the time and always shows happiness towards others.

A role model is someone who is hard-working, mature and self-talkative. Most of
my role models are very hard-working and powerful women. They are very strong and mature and have
believed in themselves all the way. My last two role models would have to be my teachers Mrs Ilaoa and
Mrs Sio. The reasons why they are my two role models are because they are very hard-working. They
work hard, never give up and always try to teach us new things at school. Our class can be a handful or
more sometimes but my two role model teachers are always strong and push us until we succeed.

So now that you’ve read my story about “Role Models” are you strong, powerful and motivational
enough to be a good role model? Everyone has the strength to be a role model. So use your strength and
become a better role model then you already are!

--------------------------------

Role models are people that show lots of respect towards others and stay positive during everything
and anything they do. My way of being a good role model is encouraging others and showing people
they can achieve their goals.
