Argument Writing

Last week we did some work on our argument writing for the speech finals being held at kaikohe Here is my speech:(Hint I'm a back up for the finals)
Stop the Hackers

You have all heard the news. Some company has had to close its doors for the day because their computer system crashed. Why!! Someone hacked it, of course.  I believe that people should stop hacking. Hacking is stealing private data from other people's computers or interfering with computer systems so that you cause serious problems.  I believe that people should stop hacking.

Here are my reasons why:

Firstly:    Hacking is a big, fat threat to all humanity. It’s a ginormous menace and this is why. Hackers can steal people’s accounts that have incredibly private information such as passwords, emails, addresses, bank accounts and much, much more. Now that’s just plain rude!! Hackers get into people's computers and start trying to get private data. They could steal all your money. AND THAT'S NOT GOOD!!!

Secondly, hackers can mess with people’s work and  jobs and some jobs are really important for health and safety reasons.  Hackers can stop  important things happening like medical treatments for cancer and surgery. Some hackers have found their way into computer systems of hospitals and messed up so many records and appointments that the hospitals have had to stop work for the day. AND THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

Finally, hackers can put fake information into places. Imagine trying to get a job and finding out that hackers had changed your records so that it looked like you had no qualifications. Imagine how you would feel. The opposite can happen too. Hackers can change records about criminals to make them look good. Then you might end up hiring a murderer to babysit your kids! NOW THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOOD!!!

So, I’m sure you must agree with me. Hacking is horrible, hurtful and harmful to humans.  It robs people of their belongings, it can put people’s health at risk, and you will never know what is true and what is fake. It should be stopped once and for all!!  If you are out there and you are a hacker, please STOP!!   Stop it, right NOW!!!
