Kia Ora Benjamin,
ReplyDeleteKo Aimee taku ingoa, no te kura o Karoro ahua,
Wow! I love the way you have talked about Jaguars and a bit about them like when you said about their habitat,abilities, and appearance. You brought me back to when I was little and we had to do a study on lions. We had to include in our blog post what animal we were doing and what we were going to do on it such as habitat etc...Next time you could maybe try to preview your blog post before posting it as the words were going off the page. You could fix this by going ctrl, shift v instead of going ctrl v. I have really enjoyed reading your blog post.
Keep up the good work !!
Come and visit my blog and tell me what you think about my blog https://gmsaimeeh6262.blogspot.com/

I really like how you were very descriptive in listing all the jaguars habitats, and how unlike other cats, they are good swimmers. Are Jaguars your favourite animal? if not what is your favourite animal? This taught me that Jaguars are good at climbing trees and swimming.I also learned where they can be found. Next time you could preview your work before posting it because the words are coming off the page which makes it hard to read. You can fix this by going ctrl shift v instead of just ctrl v. You could also check your spelling for a few things as well. But other than that your work is very good and I really enjoyed reading it.
