Please remember to check for mistakes by reading aloud your post to yourself before you publish it. I cannot wait to see what you write!
Your teacher,

I would be able to play every instrument in the world rather than speaking every language. First, you could be a part of any band in the world that has an instrument. second, you could play instruments as a job. However, some may argue that speaking every language would be better. You could talk to ANYONE in the world. But overall, I would choose playing every instrument
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between speaking every language or being able to play every instrument, i would choose to speak every language. First, everyone could understand you. Second, you could travel across the world and speak in a different language. Lastly, you would never have to take lessons on language. However some people may argue that they would rather be able to play every instrument because you could be the best player. That is why I would choose to be able to speak every language.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice of speaking every language in the world or play every instrument in the world,I would speak every language in the world. First,because you could go wherever you want because you speak that language fluently. Second,because you could speak to people from different countries and know what they are saying. And finally, you could mess around with siblings and speak to them in french. Some may argue that playing every instrument is good because you could be in Boy Bands but I think that it is better to speak every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to play every instrument in the world or to speak every language I would choose to speak every language. First, If you had any classes that you have to speak a different language you would get an A plus. Second, If you met anybody who speaks a different language you could speak to them and they would understand you. Finally, If you ever go to a different country and they speak a different language you would be able to read that language, and talk to anybody! Some may argue and may want to play every instrument in the world, because you would be able to be in a band. Those are my reasons for choosing every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely choose to speak every language because you can use that for so many different uses, like if you go to China and someone ask you what is your name or any question than you wouldn't know how to respond. It would be so cool to speak every langues. You could get a job and teach any langues. You could talk to any person any person any place on Earth. Although some may argue that play every instrument would be better,but you could not really use that for anything. Even though I think being able to play every instrument would be cool I would rather speak every langues.
ReplyDeleteI think that I would rather speak every language in the world than play every instrument in the world. First, I could make friends with people from different countries. Second, I could travel around the world to learn more and more languages. Finally, I would speak every language in the world because a school could hire me to teach children how to speak every kind of language! However, I understand why people would rather play every instrument in the world because you would be very talented and you could make a band! Those are my reasons why I would rather speak every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteI would rather speak every language in the world. First, If I go somewhere that people speak a different language I would not have to get a translator to talk to people, I could talk to them myself. Second, I do not like music so there is no point of playing everything. Third, you would not have to take spanish or any other class that teaches you a different language. Some people say that doing every instrument would be more fun but I do not like playing instruments so it wouldn't be fun for me. That's why I would rather know every language 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 to play every instrument. First of all, if you could play every instrument you could make a lot more people happy. Second of all, music is the number one medicine. Last of all, if you could speak every language then you could accidentally really offend someone on accident. But some people may say that if you know every language then you could know whatever someone else was saying know matter what language. And those are the reasons why I would play every instrument.
ReplyDeleteIf I was able to play every instrument in the world, or speak every language, I would speak every language. I love to travel, and I do travel a lot, but when we go to Europe in the summer we never can speak Italian. (The only word we know is ciao!) Or when we go to Spain, especially in the airport it's hard. Second, you can understand what the ladies at the nail salon are saying. (I always feel they're saying something about me in Chinese or Japanese.) Third, if you're taking a language class in middle or high school you will never get below an A! But others may argue that being able to play every instrument would be better so that your play music for others, and you to be famous. But I say that speaking every language would be better.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose from being able to play every instrument in the world or speaking every language in the world. I would choose speaking every language because you could help so many people if you could speak every language in the world. You also can make someone smile with one word. If you could speak every language in the world that means you could understand baby. However some may argue that playing every instrument in the world is better because you could be famous. You also could share your music to the world. However I disagree that every that playing every instrument in the world is better that knowing every language in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I got to choose whether I could speak every language or play any instrument I would choose being able to play any instrument. One reason is it would be so cool! I could just walk up to a saxophone or guitar and start jamming out. Second people think you are cool and you might be super happy when you are amazing people on a random instruments. Finally you could get in a band or a good music place and get famous. However some people may say speaking any language would be cool because you can communicate with foreign people, but I think playing any instrument on earth would be way cooler.
ReplyDeleteI would choose to speak every language than play every instrument. Here are my reasons. First, you can speak with anyone you want. Second, you can speak to cool athletes. Third, I can not really play music. Last, you can be able to go to any place in the world you want. That is why I choose this
ReplyDeleteif i could ether speak every language or play every instrument, i would play every instrument because music is the universal language and music is beautiful thing it has the power to soothe someone, anger someone, make someone, happy and you can sadden someone. but some may argue that speaking every language would be better because you can talk to them but that can only get you so far by playing instruments you can make someone's day in only one song. So go ahead and learn every instrument.

ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between being able to learn every single language or being able to learn every single instrument, I would choose, being able to learn every single language. One, is because I would not have trouble learning every language in the world. Two, is because spanish and french would be sooooooo easy. Finally, I could visit every country and not have a guide to help me understand their language. However, some may argue that being able to play every single instrument is better, but how are you going to order mexican food at a mexican restaurant? So that's why I think being able to know every language is better

Second,I could probably be famous, and I could speak some of my favorite words like Francisco in Italian!Some people may say that playing all of the instruments in the world is better because you could be in huge orchestras, but I think it would be better if I could speak every language in the entire WORLD!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between to be able to speak every language or to play every instrument I would choose to speak every language. Although I love instruments, it would not be very useful to play every one. For example, I could travel around the world and not worry about not speaking the language that the person next to me speaks. Second, I would be the best at any class for a different language. Thirdly, I would be able to teach somebody that language to that person could talk to people who know that language.

ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between being able to learn every single language or being able to learn every single instrument, I would choose being able to learn every single language. My first reason is that whenever I traveled around the world I could speak their language. Also, if I took chinese or any other language at school it would be very easy.

It would help me know very important things like directions. My second reason is that I would get good grades. Even though we don't have a language class at Oak Hill, my next school probably will. I would have test, pop quizzes, and classes all on foreign languages. I would get good grades because I know how to speak them all. I would know all the words and phrases any language from french, spanish, russian, and chinese. My third reason why I would like to speak several languages is the fact that I could teach others. I could be a teacher and have a class called, "All languages." I would teach people about every single way of speaking in the world! Although I would like to speak many languages, some may want to play all instruments. After all, you could play many different types of music and could make a living off of it. But, it would not be helpful visiting different countries. Sure you could play their type of music and songs, but you wouldn't understand them, ad them wouldn't understand you! This is why I would like to speak all languages.

So in conclusion I would want to speak every language in the world than to know how to play every instrument in the world.
