I came up with the idea that people are going to spend heaps at the rugby world cup so I decided to come up with something that can draw your attention to the fact that there are cheaper opition's. You can look at all the prices for transport and things that you have to have so take a look a it at www.are/you/ripped/off.com.

Touch Typing

Touch Typing

This is the score that I got in the touch typing test I scored 11 words per minute but yet made 77 mistakes we have been working on the touch typing since the start of the year My first score for touch typing in term 1 was 4 words per minute. I have improved by six since then. My goal for my next touch typing test is that I score over 11 words per minute but I know that I will have to work hard.For this typing test we use sense lang witch you can play typing games and tests, we also use dance mat typing witch you have 6 levels with 3 stages in each level.
