Your teacher,

If I had to make the choice of being able to speak every language or being able to play every instrument I would choose to speak every language in the world. I chose this because I could travel all over the country, and not have a problem speaking to other people. Some people may want to be able to play every instrument in the world because you would probably become famous, and you could start a one person orchestra. I would rather know how to speak every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
DeleteI would love to speak every language too!!!!!
DeleteEvery language. No questions asked. It would be awesome to speak every language. I already speak English and know a little Russian, but it would be cool to speak every language.I could also learn more Russian!!! I would start a translation company (better than Rosetta Stone) and make all teh money!!! happy face----> :D
ReplyDelete$$YOU WILL MAKE ALL THE MONEY$$
DeleteIf I had to choose between being able to play every instrument in the world or be able to speak every language in the world, I would be able to play every instrument in the world. I could awesome songs on the instruments. I could be in a band with my friends and we would actually be good. I could annoy my brother with the instruments. Some people would want to be able to speak in every language because They could speak to everyone in the world. These are my reasons why I would rather be able to play every instrument in the world rather then be able to speak every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to speak every language in the world or be able to play every instrument I would choose speaking every language. I would choose that because I could travel around the world and understand what their saying!Also in spanish class I would be awesome at it. I would also teach my sister, Mom, and Dad how to speak it. Although it would be really cool to play every instrument. But there are more languages then instruments. There are 7102 languages and 3000 instruments. Those are my reasons why I want to speak every language.
ReplyDeleteI would speak every language because I could talk to everyone. Also, I could tell North Korea to not attack South Korea. Finally, I could speak in other places, so I don't have to use google translate. However some peeps would want to play every instrument so they could have their own band. That is why I would speak every language.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to play every instrument in the world or speak every language in the world , I would have to play every instrument in the world . First of all , you can play really fun and happy music that everyone loves . Plus , when you you play you can sing to, and that has to be in a different . Most of all, you can play at music festivals . However , some people may think it would be fun to talk in all the languages in the world because it would be easier to know what the people around the world are saying . So , you can't be famous ! This is why I think it would be fun to play every instrument in the world.#play it!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between knowing how to speak every language or know how to play every instrument, I would choose knowing how to speak every language. I would choose this because one, I could visit every country. Two, I could speak to my relatives easily if they speak a different language. Three, I would choose this because then I could read different books with all different languages. However, some people may say that being able to play every instrument is better because you could play at gigs. I would rather be able to speak every language than play every instrument.
ReplyDeletesame!!
DeleteI would definitely play every instrument, which I guess is an obvious answer for me, but I still have some examples. First of all, I would get to play a lot more songs when I perform in shows. For example, if there is was a song that I really wanted to play, I would have a higher chance of getting put in that song even if someone is already playing drums! Second of all, if one of my bandmates can not come, I can fill in for them! For example, If Sam was out sick for our show, I could fill in for him on guitar! However, some people may say that speaking every language would be better because you could understand more people. While that may be true, you would probably play instruments more than you would go out of the country. That is why I would choose to play every instrument besides speak every language.
ReplyDeleteIf I could chose between playing every instrument in the world or speaking every language in the world I would chose to speak every language in the world. My first reason is because if you went to a different country and you didn't know what language they spoke and how to speak it then you wouldn't know what to say or do. My next reason is because it would be nice to be able to speak every language fluently because then you could travel to different places. It would also be nice because you could travel to different places and learn about different places. My last reason is you could make a lifelong friend that could be from a different country but if you don't know how to speak that language then you could say something offensive to that person without even knowing it. However someone could argue that playing all the instruments in the word is better because you could hear all the beautiful sounds that come from every different instrument. That is why I chose speaking every language in the world over playing every instrument in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between being able to speak every language or to be able to play any instrument you wanted to I would want to play any instrument I wanted to because you could play any time you wanted, and you could become famous. I would not like to be able to speak any different language because I would not be able to do instruments.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick I would choose to play every intrument in the world for these following reasons: First of all you would always have something to do for the talent show and you would never have to practice. Also because all your friends would want you to help them with their intruments and last because you would be popular. But some say that speaking all langugies because you could learn about others culter by talking to theme. But I think it would be better to play all instruments.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteIf I had to choose between being able to play every instrument in the world or speak every language in the world I would choose speaking every language in the world. Here's why, one, you could travel everywhere and not worry about understanding people. Two, if you take any classes like spanish or latin, you could easily ace everything so you could help teach the class. and third, you don't have to use google translater to translate stuff, you could just do it yourself! However, some people may say playing every instrument is better because you can be in any band you want. But I still think speaking every language is better.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to speak every language in the world or to know how to play every instrument in the world I would choose to speak every language in the world. Here's why:
ReplyDeleteFirst, you could go to every country in the world, and know how to speak their language. Second, there are probably 7,000 languages in the world, and about 3,000 instruments in the world. Third, you can trick your friends. Some people might want to play instruments because they would rather have music ability. But with languages, you can talk to anyone. This is why I chose to speak all languages rather than to know all instruments.
If I had to choose between being able to play every instrument in the world or be able to speak every language in the world, I would choose to speak every language in the world. One reason why is because I would be awesome at speaking Spanish in Spanish class. Another reason why is that I would already know how to speak Spanish and I would not have to do Rosetta Stone. Finally, I would understand what the people are saying in Costa Rica at the resort we stay at. Some people might say that it would be cooler to play all the instruments in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between being able to play all the instruments in the world or speak every language in the world, I would choose speaking every language in the world.
If I had to choose between knowing how to play every instrument in the world and knowing who to speak every language in the world, I would choose knowing how to play every instrument in the world. I would choose to know how to play every instrument in the world because it is fun to play instruments ,and people are impressed by music. I could get a scholarship to any college I wanted. Some may say that speaking every language in the world is better than knowing how to play every instrument in the wold, but that is not true ,because it would not be very fun or helpful. There are apps to translate things. This is why knowing how to play instruments is better.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between the ability to play every instrument or speak every language fluently I would choose to speak every language fluently. Here are some reasons why. First, you could go to every country in the world and communicate with them. Second, you could understand When other people were talking anytime. Finally, you could understand other people's secret languages and know what they were saying. Some people might think that knowing how to play every instrument is better because you could entertain people, but that would overload your brain. that is why I would rather speak every language fluently instead of play every instrument smoothly!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose I would choose speak every language in the world. first I love to travel and if I wanted to go to china I wouldn't have to learn the language. Also, if I got a call from india I could answer it while speaking italian. Finally, what if my friend spoke russian I could speak with her so she could speak her language. although some people want to play every instrument in the world but I think speaking russian or italian and more is cooler. I think speaking every language would be fun because you could travel places without learning the language, if you friend spoke russian you could still talk with her, and if you got a call from someone spanish you could pick up the phone in spanish.
ReplyDeleteI would chooses speak every language in the world.Reson one because you could travel all around the world. Reason two you could speak to everyone in the world. Reason three you could understand every one. But some people would rather be able to play every instrument in the world so they could play them all.
ReplyDeleteI would choose to speak every language in the world. Here's why, I could travel everywhere, and not get confused. Also, I would because I could trick my brother into saying something funny in a different language. Finally, I would because I could confuse everyone I know. Some people would want to play every instrument because they could have their own private orchestra where they were the only performer. However, I think speaking every language in the world is better than playing every instrument in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice between being able to play every instrument in the world or being able to speak every language in the world, I would choose to be able to speak every language in the world. It would be really handy on big trips. You wouldn't have trouble understanding anyone. Plus, it takes a lot longer to learn a whole new language than to learn to play an instrument. Some people disagree because you could impress your friends and become famous. I would rather be able to speak all the languages in the world than be able to play every instrument in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between speaking every language in the world or being able to play every instrument in the world, I would choose to be able to play every instrument in the world. I would choose that because it has more advantages. For instance, you could be a teacher to every kind of instrument. You could also entertain and make money with a one person band. Plus, music is a language everyone can understand. However, some people would prefer to be able to speak every language in the world. But I could just substitute that for a translator. That is why I think I would rather be able to play every instrument in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between being able to play every instrument or be able to speak every language I would choose speak every language. For example, you would be able to go to M and other countries and be able to speak their language. Also, I would be very smart if I knew how to speak every language. Finally, I could talk to people who speak in all different languages. However, some people say they would rather be able to play every single instrument because people would think you were awesome. This is why I would choose to speak every single language rather than to be able to play every single instrument.
ReplyDeleteI would choose every instrument in the world. Here are 3 reasons why. 1 If I could play every instrument I could be a professional drummer or guitarist if I can't get a sports job. 2 It would pay a lot of money playing a guitar or drum in a awesome band. 3 Playing the drums or guitar would make a lot of noise. I have 2 counter arguments. 1 If you speak every language you wouldn't have to do spanish, but we won't have spanish next year and after. # yay. 2 You would be able to sing random songs in chinese japanese etcetera.
ReplyDeleteEvery instrument is better. # the truth
GET PAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!
Delete# the truth # yay
If I had to speak every language, or play every instrument, I would speak every language. If I spoke every language, I could travel anywhere and talk to everyone! Also I would get all fours in spanish class! Lastly, I could be prepared for every time somebody called from a different country! Some people may want to play every instrument, but if you choose to speak every language, It doesn't mean you can't play one or two insturments. That is why I would speak every language!
ReplyDeleteI would choose to speak every language in the world. One reason why I would want to speak every language in the world is because I travel a lot so it would be nice to know all the languages in the world. Also, spanish would be a breeze if I knew every language in the world. Another reason is that I think it would be really cool! Some people would not want to know every language in the world because it would be hard to keep up with every language if you knew all of them. But if you know all of them wouldn't you just have memorized them by now? That is why I would like to speak every language in the world!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to either play every instrument in the world or to speak every language in the world, I would choose to speak every language in the world. I would choose this because if you go to a different country it will be very helpful to know what language people are speaking. Also playing instruments can be pretty difficult, and you will have to practice really hard. In conclusion I would pick to speak every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteBut you already know how to play so you dont need to practice.
DeleteIf I could play every instrument in the world or speak every language, I would choose every instrument in the world because I would get paid! Payment is better than social skills. While you're bathing in money, the language "whiz" is on the streets with a sign that says "NEED MONEY FOR FOOD AND CLOTHES, CAN SPEAK EVERY LANGUAGE, EVEN KLINGON. NOT THAT IT'S AN EARTHLY LANGUAGE, I JUST SAW STAR TREK" Not only that but you can play every instrument, and that is amazing! Seriously, think how many people can do that. 0. Although being able to play every instrument in the world is better some may argue that speaking every language is better. 2 words 1 answer, no money.
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion playing every instrument in the world is better.
I would choose To play every instrument in the world. First, It would be easy to play in a band because they could put you at any position. Second, you will be known for your ability to play every instrument in the world. Lastly, IT WILL BE FUN!!!!!! Some may say if you know every language in the world they could go to great britain and know how to speak in a british accent. That is why I would rather be able to play every instrument in the world!
ReplyDelete# the truth

If i had to coose to play every instrument in the world or speak every language in the world. I would pick every language in the world. Here are my reason why, I could travel to Mexico and if I had a question I could ask them in spanish and they would understand me. Also, It would be awesome to be able to write a paper in a different language. Finally, If I had a cousin that couldn't speak english I could talk to them in the language they speak. But, others may think that being able to play every instrument in the world is better because they can play in a band or an orchestra. Those are my reasons why I would want to be able to speak every language in the whole world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between speaking every language or playing every musical instrument in the world I would choose to speak every language in the world here's why! First, I could be a translator for a famous person and go all around the world! Second, I would be able to talk to everyone! Third, It would be cool to hear every language there is! However, I may get used to speaking every other language and forget english! That's why I choose to speak every language in the world!! :-}
ReplyDeleteI would choose to be able to speak every language in the world.1 I could practically go every where.2 I could say something and most people won't understand.3 I can go somewhere and say something and they will understand it.Some people might want to be able to play every instrument in the word so they can be in many concerts and make a lot of money.I think being able to speak every language in the world is better than being able to play every instrument in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice between being able to play every instrument in the world or being able to speak every language in the world, I would probably pick being able to pick being able to speak every language in the world. My first reason is that if I go to a different continent they speak a different language, so I would be able to speak. That's why I pick to speak all of the languages in the world.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be able to speak any language in the world than be able to play any instrument in the world, because I could travel everywhere in the world and be able to understand what people are saying, and communicate with other people that speak different languages and have different cultures. Also, I could teach other people the languages, and we could play games like, "Guess what language I'm speaking. Finally, if you can speak every language, you can tell people all over the world of GOD's word. Some people might argue that you can always use google translate, but half the time you end up not pronouncing whatever you're trying to say correctly. Even with google translate, it's not the same as having a real conversation with someone from another country. Now I give yet 1 more reason that knowing every language is better than google translate: With google translate, you can translate English to another language, but unless another other language is printed out for you, you usually cannot understand what someone else is saying. For these reasons, I would rather be able to speak every language in the world than be able to play every instrument in the world.
ReplyDeleteThis is Madeline's post.
DeleteIf I had to choose between speaking every language in the world or being able to play every instrument in the world, I would choose to speak in every language in the world. I would choose it because you could go to every place in the world and speak their language. Also you could get an A+ in Spanish. Some may say that playing every instrument in the world it the best choice because you could teach people an instrument. I think saying every langage in the world is the best choice.
