My Paragraph:

Biking is one of the easiest and most exciting ways to get exercise. Bicycles come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and can be used almost anywhere by anyone. Almost any bike can make the steep climbs and go any distance. What makes bikes really good for riding is they can go places that cars cant go. Bikes have been an excellent method of transportation for decades and will continue to be for decade to come.

AI Prargraph:

Biking embodies the perfect blend of adventure, exercise, and environmental consciousness. As riders embark on their journeys, they’re not just traversing landscapes; they’re immersing themselves in a vibrant tapestry of experiences. The rhythmic motion of pedaling becomes a meditative rhythm, connecting them intimately with their surroundings. From the serene paths of parks to the challenging trails of mountains, biking offers a versatile canvas for exploration and self-discovery. Ultimately, biking isn’t just a means of transportation; it’s a lifestyle that promotes health, sustainability, and a profound appreciation for the world around us.

1. I was looking on X (Twitter) and came across this tweet. I didn’t think it was real because Disneyland is a family theme park and gambling is an adult activity.

2. I went to the source “Mouse Trap News” and saw they didn’t have a blue check mark, which means they are not a verified user.

3. I did some research on the site and found out they write fake stories about Disneyland for amusement.

4. Lastly, I went onto Disney’s offical site and did a search for Slot Machines/Casinos. I ended up getting no results comfirming that           this tweet is fake.

 

For take your kid to work day, I went to the Vancouver Police Department with my dad, and I was able to bring a friend. The VPD has an annual program for this day, and we didn’t spend the day with our parents. All the kids were dropped off at the gun range for an introduction about what we were going to do for the day, and we met the Chief.  

My group started with a presentation on cyber safety and then we got to use the Emergency Response Team’s equipment, including drones and night vision goggles. Afterwards, we learned about firearms and got to shoot handguns at the range. Next, we learned about traffic enforcement, forensics, and we saw the police horses. The best part of the day was a demonstration with the police dogs. Their handlers shared some interesting stories with us and then we ended the day learning about drugs.
