The Amazing Valerie Adams

Igot this picture from http://www.3news.co.nz/Silver-for-Valerie-Adams/tabid/1697/articleID/264399/Default.aspx


Valerie Adams, New Zealand’s shot put champion, was unable to hold back her tears as she was being interviewed. Following her final throw, she had the realisation,that her wishes of becoming the World Shot Put Champion for the second time,were now ruined. A woman named Nadzeya Ostapchuk of Belarus had taken Valerie’s place, beating her personal best of 21.34metres. This was a very emotional evening for her. Valerie had worked tirelessly and despite her disappointment, she was proud of her achievements even though she got silver.

    Hi Ashleigh,

    I enjoyed this piece of writing you, Chante & Vivienne put together. The vocab you used were interesting as well as strong. It's a shame you only wrote one paragraph, I think it would be awesome if you wrote more. Keep up the good work!
