Write an interesting and engaging review of virtual tours online.

A review should:
  • explain what happens on a virtual tour
  • mention highlights on the tours
  • give an overall opinion of virtual tours online (strengths and weaknesses)
  • mention specific virtual tours you have looked at as examples
  • include hyperlinks to the virtual tours you mention
200 words minimum


A virtual tour is a simulation that can be viewed on most computers or smartphones. A virtual tour is similar to a video but you can control where to move and where to look. A virtual tour of anything, from London to The Great Wall of China or even places from video-games. There are many advantages of virtual tour such as most virtual tour are either free or at a small cost and the obvious one experiencing things you may never get to in real life. Although there are advantages there can also be disadvantages to virtual tours, such as unless you download the tour you need a internet connection. If your internet connection is not very good there can be lag and something not load properly. Virtual tours can be good or bad but either way there cool to try.

LIfe ed poem

Drugs are expensive and cause people pain
no matter the drug there is no gain
if you do meth it can 
lead to death
drugs are bad and make 
people mad

no matter the name it's to blame
weed, crack, green and grass
no matter the name you should pass
If you do drugs you're hooked till the end of time
anybody who sells drugs is just gryme

I only cause pain I am marajuana I am the end game

punchuation

"Mum where are my favourite socks?" I asked yelling for help
"And where are my Tuesday undies?" asked dad searching through his draws "you know I have to wear them today."
"Just wear Mondays undies no one is going to know," replied mum. 
"No one's going to know you say, i'm going to know and to wear Mondays undies pfft that would be idiotic," Dad answered back with a streak in his voice.
This was only the beginning of our family disaster, for the next few weeks things were starting to disappear and fast. With Dad losing his Tuesday undies and me losing my favourite socks 
Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while Mum then lost her favorite dress we thought we were going mental. "Its not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac mum suggested that we recall our steps. "When was the last time you had your items?" she said. We all replied 
"before washing day was the last time we had them, so maybe it's the washing machine thats caused all this drama," mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eye.
So we checked the washing machine there was… nothing, with nothing to prove I decided to put a Go-Pro in the machine to watch it in action to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn't realize was that the washing machine would take my Go-Pro too "AHHH ITS GONE!" I yelled at the top of my voice.
"What are we going to do?"
