Speech - Simple Machines.

Simple machines are machines that we use  everyday at anytime.  They allow us to work with less strength, simple machines are also machines that are really easy to use too. Simple machines are also like technology devices but doesn’t have that much buttons like other devices.

A simple machine can be a lever, wedge, screw, inclined plane, pulley and wheel and axle. Simples machines were used back in the olden days when we didn’t have technology, simple machines were recognized back in the 3rd century before christ.

The most easiest simple machine to use is the inclined plane because you just place the object at the top of the inclined plane then let it slide down. If simple machines weren’t invented then chores, work and other things would’ve been really hard to handle, simple machines are really helpful.

My viewpoint on violent movies, videos and video games.

Violent games are cool but the more you play it and get use to it then it will distract you and lead you to another direction when doing your work at school or at home. Violent movies are not suitable for kids who are under 15 . Kids have to be careful what they are watching now because the internet is really dangerous. Violent movies shows you things that you aren’t supposed to watch for example violence and sexual scenes.
