“Why People Should Get Dogs”

I think people should get dogs because they are good companions. I also
think pets, especially dogs, help you and improve your life. Some people say
their dogs changed their lives because when you take care of a dog you need
to lean to be unselfish. People also say dogs help them communicate better.
When you have a deg, you have to try to find out what it wants, and that can
help you find out how to talk to other people.
An important thing about getting a dog is to find one that suits you. When
I had my dog Simba, he was my best friend. He was my favorite mammal to
be with besides my mom. He always made my family and me laugh.
Sometimes he got all mixed up and ran into the wall. When we played music,
he tried to sing. I loved him very much. I could tell him anything in the world
as if he was my best friend.
Dogs help you because your personality is one of the many important
parts of your life, and dogs help improve it. My dog helped me improve my
personality by making me be more open because it wasn't always about me.
He also improved my knowledge because I did not know dogs needed so many
things to be satisfied. I had to learn how to react to him and find out when to
feed him and what he liked to eat.
Some people say that dogs need too much care. You have to feed them
and take them for walks. My dog Simba was worth any work I had to do
because he was my friend.
 I think everyone should have a dog because they may improve your life.
Simba and every other pet I had taught me a valuable lesson I will need to
know later in life. By getting a dog, you too can learn a valuable lesson or two.

“The Importance of Breakfast”

Why is breakfast important? “Breakfast

like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dine like
a Pauper” It’s a well known phrase, but do
you follow it?
Breakfast provides many benefits to our
health and wellbeing. Breakfast provides the
body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast – that’s where its name
originates, breaking the fast! Without breakfast you are effectively running on
empty, like trying to start the car with no petrol!
Breakfast support cognitive function. Breakfast also restores glucose
levels, an essential carbohydrate that is needed for the brain to function.
Breakfast provides energy, studies have shown how eating breakfast can
improve memory and concentration levels and it can also make us happier as
it can improve mood and lower stress levels.
Breakfast provides energy needs. People’s energy needs vary depending on
activity levels and life stage but typically men require more energy than
women. Growing children require a lot of energy, as an example boys aged 7-
10 years should consume approximately 1970 kcals per day, and girls aged
7-10 years should consume approximately 1740 kcals.
