The best superpower to have

Who	What	Where	When	why
Myself audience	Being fast	The World	Now	you can get to places faster

Research site

There are many great superpowers  ins the world.And  many well known  superheroes have speed.Having Speed is one of the best super powers you can have.

Having speed is very useful for when you are running late for something .There is always times when you are worried about  being late or missing out on something.Having speed means you won’t have to get a driver's license or  have to worry about getting up extra early to beat the traffic  in the morning.

Superheroes like Flash,spiderman and Thor have got enhanced speed installed in the many  superpowers they have.It is a fact that Flash can go from place to place in up to one point nine seconds.However if you use your abilty to travel far it can cause burning and extreme heat from the rubbing of speed.

Using speed can come in handy when you are late for something or if  you don’t want to walk far..But remember,try not to use it to often because it can cause burning.Other then that having speed as a special ability is the best.

Why having uniforms is important

Who	What	When	Why	How
Schools restaurants	Uniforms	when they like	so people know who you represent	get the manager or principal to design a uniform

There are many Schools and restaurants that have a strict uniform policy but there are also many Restaurants and Schools that don’t have uniforms.For some people not having uniforms is a problem.

There are many Workers and Students against having uniforms  because they might think it’s ugly and they don’t want to be seen in the uniforms the school or business has chosen for them to wear.But this can be a problem for companies or schools because if you were at a restaurant and needed something the  customers won’t know who works at this restaurant and that could make them dislike the restaurant.

If you are on a school trip and you got lost people trying to help will not know who to look at because it blends in with the pedestrians.When your at home and you wake up in the morning you won’t have to waste twenty minutes on deciding what you are going to wear.This can save time on your mum so she doesn’t have to  do washing so often.

If schools do not have a dress code this means the children can dress inappropriately.An people outside of the school will think how disgusting you look and think about who is the Principle .When you have uniforms  at school it looks tidy when you go on a trip.

This is why I think that it is important to have Uniforms in places such as Schools and Restaurants.
