Rachel Smalley

Rachel Smalley is a newstalk ZB. She has been in the news lately because she said something in her mic during a tv break, she thought her mic was off. So now people think different about her because she said that.

So she said something rude about kiwi women. The things she said in the mic were and I quote “That NZ women's average weight of 72kg makes them 'a bunch of lardos” Her comment has upset many women around NZ. She admits that she left the mic on but her convo was meant to be off air.

She soon made an apology on air to all women she upset. She said “ “I deeply regret the comments. My comments were offensive. I'm sorry. It was a genuine mistake. " She bursted out crying while her live talk.

Many people say “Why should she apologize!? If she believes women over 72kg are heifers and lardos why should she say sorry!” Well I think she should apologize because she said something bad about many other women. She should think about putting herself in their shoes.

Show not tell setting

My teeth start chattering “I'm bundled up in 3 blankets and I'm still freezing!” I say repeatedly. . I hear the wind howling, soaring and crickets outside suddenly a big gust of wind sends my curtain up touching my ceiling revealing the bright moon. “UGH my window's open, I'm too cold and too lazy to handle this.” My body feels stiff , it feels like its going to break.

Child of Vasa and Bule
Who loves shouting, food, animals, basketball, friends and family
Who hates being cold, waking up early and heights
Who wants to go to samoa
Who wishes he/she could’ve met My dad before he passed away.
Who is scared of spiders, dogs and flying in airplanes
Who dreams of meeting lorde
Who is determined to make the basketball team
Who values God
Who is proud of my mum because she went through alot raising me.
Who graduated from reading
Who lives in panmure

The Waikato River.

In New zealand we have many long rivers like the clutha river, whanganui and many more.
But the waikato river is the longest river in New zealand, running through the north island. The name Waikato comes from the Māori language, it means flowing water. Waikato River flowed from Lake Huka (the ancient lake) in the centre of the North Island.
