Thinking
Which post gets your like and why
What comment will you make about Helen or Peter
I like Helen’s post because she stays positive even when the weather was bad earlier. Her words (‘lovely sight’) make me feel hopeful.
Helen, you’re like a sunshine in the fog! Can you teach me how to stay positive
Thinking
Which post gets your like and why
What comment will you make about Helen or Peter
I choose Peter’s post because it shows that hard work pays off. Even though he was upset at first, he didn’t give up!
Peter, I felt the same way when I climbed a mountain last year! But the view at the top was worth it, right
Further Thinking
What can you learn from Helen’s and Peter’s experience
From Helen:
Stay positive!
Even in bad weather, Helen focuses on the good things.
Optimism turns challenges into adventures.
From Peter:
Don’t give up!
Peter felt tired and unhappy at first, but reaching the top made him proud. Hard work and persistence bring rewards.
