The Twits
by Roald Dahl
Mr and Mrs Twit  are really disgusting.They  smell because they never wash.They fight because they play tricks on each other. And worst of all they hate children and they keep monkeys in cages doing silly tricks. What a lot of hairy faced men there are around these days? Who  knows what they look like with no hair on their faces - well you haven't seen Mr and Mrs Twit they're hairy. You wouldn't class them as human.

I liked the part where the monkeys showed  Mr and Mrs Twit a lesson when they glued all of their belongings on the roof  to see how they liked standing upside down for hours. But they were so stupid they were the right way up and their living room was upside down. They were doing a handstand but then they started to shrink and after 1 hour there was just a lump of old raggy clothes in the middle of their living room.

I liked the funny language that they used to describe Mr and Mrs Twit.

Surfing

When you go for walks on the beach and you see someone standing on water and you think they're walking on water, well your wrong they're surfing. Surfing is one of the oldest pratised sports in the world.  Surfing is also one of the few sports that creates its own culture and life style. The act of riding waves with a wooden board originated in western Polynesia over three thousand years ago.

There are many different sizes of surf boards and here are some common sizes 5.2' 6.4' and width 20 inches and 22 inches. There are different surf boards for different waves like a short board for stunts and carving it up.  Fish boards are good for intermediate and good for catching waves and have great  speed. Fun boards like Malibu are good for learners or small waves.  Long boards longer than normal surf boards and good for having fun.  Last but not least there's the stand up board.
