How Eight Year Olds Can Use a Computer

We are learning to write an argument that will persuade the reader to agree with our point of view. We need to include:
· An introduction which states the problem and tells our opinion,
· Reasons for our opinion,
· An ending which restates our opinion.
The first one we have written is about what needs to happen so we get a fair turn using the computer at home.

Eight year olds have trouble getting to use the computer at home. I think kids should have their own computer because their brother or sister will go on the computer and take all the time. In my opinion kids should have a special type of computer that you can only do homework on. Then they won’t waste their Mum’s time to fix up all the mistakes. This is because the computer fixes up all the mistakes and asks you what word you mean to write. I think kids should have their own computer and their brother and sister should have their computer.

Time spend with your child is never wasted time and time spend doing homework is a special time where a child can share with the parent what he or she has learned at school.
As for the computer invention I think they should invent a computer that works on batteries that need to be charged by the child physically moving around. Preferably outside.
