 One day I went diving in the ocean. I was scared I have never dived before. I got my ger and jumped in the water. The water was so cold it felt like I was freezing.I

finally dived under the water and I could see a green sea turtle. It was so cool I was touching the sea turtles shell. It was so smooth. And then another green  sea turtle came.

It was so fun playing with the green sea turtle. But then i had to go so i jumped out of the water and took my gear off. That was so cool

• See  trainer 
• Touch trainer 
• Taste hot dogs 

Start writing here:

_______________________________________________________________

1n 1914 dogs were the main purpose of war; you had to train your dogs. Training your dogs to always be focused on one thing is good but it is hard. Training your dogs to always go to the place where you want it to go is also good but again it's hard to train.

Dogs are good because they can do anything like you but you don't do it. In war dogs look for bombs and after stuff that is bad. War dogs are the best animal that you can get for war.
