We cannot take our lives for granted


Do you think we take our lives for granted? I think we do because we live in a safe country with No war and here in New Zealand we live fortunate lives which means we often take our lives for granted. Our lives can change in a matter of seconds. Which we have all experienced this year due to covid.


 Firstly,  if you didn’t know what it means to take our lives for granted I am talking about the fact that we have access to clean drinking water and fresh food.We all know that covid 19 is a horrible virus and it has affected millions of families around the world. On the plus side due to people being in lock down and living differently the environment in many places has had an opportunity to rejuvenate itself, for example, It has cleaned up the dirty waters in Venice, canals in italy. However if we don't make lasting changes this will quickly return to normal and the earth we live on will continue to get more and more polluted. Let's not take the earth we live on for granted. 


Many of us may take our lives for granted lIke I said here in New Zealand we live in a safe country and we can walk home because we don't really have harmful people around. One of the things I like about New Zealand is we don't have war unlike in some other countries like Iran, Israel, and the United State. Iran is at war because Iran repeated the human rights abuse since the Islamic Revolution.


Secondly, I urge you to believe that sometimes not only do we take the life of our planet for granted, we may also take our own lives for granted  and we don't even know it. Sometimes I feel like I've taken my own life for granted but I didn't actually realise until now because I researched it and I found it very interesting.


. Lastly, I would like to talk about having a loving family. My loving family provides me  a bed, food, water, and especially love, kindness,all of those things that I need. 


 In Conclusion there is no question that we take our lives for granted because we live in a safe country, life is the most special gift of all that God has gifted us with. Hopefully I have convinced you to not take your life for granted.

  1. Zǎoshang hǎo (good morning) Arabella, what a great persuasive topic. I agree with you that we most certainly take our lives for granted at times. You have structured your speech well and used some good persuasive language. Zuò dé hǎo (well done). Next time it would be even better if you could add more facts and information about this topic. Zàijiàn (goodbye), Miss Hickling.
