Main Idea of this text: Measles Outbreak In Fiji.

In 2019 From November To December, there was a Measles outbreak going on in the main city of Fiji, which was Suva. This virus killed over 46 people in Samoa and now it appeared in Fiji. measles first appeared in the United States in 1765, nearly wiped of 6000 people.

On 28th November 2019, I was on vacation in Fiji and after a couple days we heard that measles outbreak reported on local news, I was really scared after hearing it. I was afraid to go out with my friends and family just because of that virus. Later on, in hospital, everyone started to get measles vaccine for free to keep everyone safe from getting it though it's still possible to get that virus even you got vaccinated since its pretty rare.

It's pretty interesting and scary how this virus strike human's and different worlds. The interesting part is that the symptoms of this virus are runny nose, fever, dry cough, and sore throat people do get runny nose or fever but it doesn't really affect them just from those sicknesses it causes a virus. The scary part is these types of virus causes death easily unless or until you get vaccinated.
This makes me think about what would happen if I got that virus, will a survive? will I be able to be healed from the vaccine? but not only this it makes me think about those people who died because of the virus the affected them. Losing there loved ones, friends, family, etc.

The influence on this virus was dangerous to human's and the countries. This virus passes on easily to other poeple. The main impact on us is risks of measles infection, measles includes blindness, dehydration, and brain swelling.

Cultural Unit - Home Economics

18, Wednesday, September

 This Term we have been looking at a Cultural Unit in Home Economics and learned about New Zealand foods. So far I have learned about different types of recipes for New Zealand foods, Nz Traditions, Kiwi foods, how they set up their food when they're about to eat it.

I know I have learned this because of the practical work we did together as a group and learning from each other if we make mistakes. In this practical we made Scones, Jam Drops, Pizza, Souvlaki, Vegetarian Sushi, and we made few mistakes and learned from that mistake. Most of the foods we made were from different cultures type. Different cultures from outside settled in New Zealand and shared their food with others. 

Skills I have learned from the practicals are learning how to cook foods that I never made pretty much and knowing some different types of tactics.

Working with other people in my group has been really awesome and wonderful, once I was sick and I wasn't able to help my team out but what they did they made pizza for me which was so nice of them, they put a lot of effort on it I enjoy working with my team or group.
