My favourite subject is geography as i find it very interesting. Not only can I learn about the natural environment, I can also learn about environment created by humans and also the geography of food.
After graduating from school, I would like to go to a university and study science as it is also one of my favourite subject. I believe that not everyone should go th university since there are some students who wish to study subjects that cannot be found in the university. Also, there is a certain amount of point needed for students to enter the university and if they cannot reach the amoun, I think that they should not enter as they would not be able to keep up.
2)I think science is a important subject since many of the things we do revolve around some of the principles in science. We can encourage children to take science by allowing them to start learning science earlier, starting from primary 1 instead of 3.
I do not think that boys will make better scientists than girls as I believe that there should be no differences in terms of abilities between male and female.

This picture depicts a scene of four students doing experiment in a lab. There is a plastic bottle on the table with a “DISTILLED WATER” label. All of them are wearing white rubber gloves and also a white coat, making them looked like a real scientist. I think they are university students .
There are many agar plates on the table as well. One of the student is holding onto something like stick and is doing something with the plate. I guess she is putting the bacteria on the agar so that it can grow and they can see the results. Two of these students are smiling, probably they are succeeding in their experment.I have done a similar experiment during the life science lesson, showing that these students are all studying biology.

I live in a HDB building. My room is normally not oraganised and very untidy as I myself is not a organise and tidy person. I only organise my stuff if my mother ask me to or I myself finds it unbearable to work in a heep of rubbish.i help keep the house clean by helping my mother do cleaning every week as part of my routine with my sister in which we split the job of moping the floor, with us taking turns.
I think that practising good hygein is very important as it allows people to have a good impression of you. It can be difficult to have good hygein when the males have to go for their national service overseas as they will be living in a jungle which will probably lack a clean supply of water and they will definitely get dirty.
If a person is too hygienic, they will be afraid to touch this and that, making life difficult for both himself or herself and those around her. Also, friends may then to leave them as they will refuse to do a lot of things and is thus diffucult to get along with.

This is a picture of a hawker centre which is undergoing cleaning. There is a crowd of people washing this place with water hoses and detergent, with foam on the floor. This is probably a cleaning organised by the town council as the place could be getting quite dirty.
There is a lady with short hair on the right hand side of the picture. She is wearing a singlet, a pair of jeans and a pair of boots. She is probably trying her best to clean this place , like the rest of the workers. Outside, a crowd has gather. They are probably just curious as they may not have seen a cleaning being done before. Maybe, amount the crowd, there are a few people who have came to the hawker centre to eat but the did not know it is under cleaning.A man in the middle is pointing his left index finger at something. probably to tell his fellow worker to clean that area.

1) A subject that I enjoy is physics. It is enjoyable as I get to learn about many things that are happening in our real life such as friction and work done. I enjoy working with my hands as if i do not use them, it would be pointless in having them and most of the things we do requires us to use our hands. I believe that reading about stuff can sometimes be a better way of learning as most of the subjects learn only requires us to memorize certain facts while other subject such as language and maths will require us to do it in order to practise.
2) If I could redesign my timetable, I would decrease the time for interaction period and assembly as I find that they are actually quite useless.For example, during the examination period, just 2 days before the first paper, the school would still have assembly in which the talk is just on some unimportant stuff. I felt that the time should instead be given to let us have more time to study.
I felt that school does prepare us for life as the skills we learn in language is very important for all kinds of jobs while other subject such as maths and physics let us learn skills which are important for some kinds of job.

This is a picture of a science lab in singapore as there is a singapore flag behind. The students are having their science lesson in the lab doing experiment on the pulley system. On the table in the foreground, there are four students who are listening to the explaination made by the woman on the left of the picture who is probably the teacher.Two of the students are taking notes while the other two are looking at the pulley seriously, with the student on the right wanting to try out the experiment. The students are probably still in primary school and right now , they are having some group work as another group can be seen at the back of the picture.

1) A competition I once entered is a drawing competition when I was primary 1. It was the first competition I entered and thus I was feeling very nervous. When the competition started, I could not start drawing as I feel very scared at the thought of losing and the being laughted at. This resulted in me only drawing at the last few minutes of the competition and thus, my drawing was quite badly done.
Ever sinc then, I started to disliked competition as i will get nervous.
2) I agree that children should take part in more outdoor activities as more and more students are staying at home and playing computer games. This has resulted in many children having to wear either contact lenses and spectacles. Children enjoys computer games as it sometimes allow them to have a sense of achievement as they may be weak in real life but in a game, they can be very "powerful". However. playing too much game can cause them to be addicted to it and eventually, their results will drop and friends will start to leave them.

This is a picture of a sandy beach where people come here to enjoy themself. There are seven people in the foreground of the picture playing with the sand. Perhaps they are relatives or close friends, hanging out at the beach or enjoying their holidays. The lady on the extreme right is wearing a hat , a neckless, a whirt shirt and a pair on jeans. She is probably the oldest among this group and is sort of like a leader. She is looking at the others people, probably giving the others instruction on what to do.
On the top right hand corner of the picture, there is a man having a sand bath, which is probably very relaxing.
On the left foreground, there are a few kids building what seems like a sand castle.On the top of the picture, there are also people sun bathing.
I think that it is a great idea for families to come together and enjoy the day at the beach.

1) My grandfather is already 80 years old but he is still in his pink of health.He is a cheerful and helpful person who always entertain me with his interesting stories on his experience for having survive both world war.He also teaches me many important moral values such as being honest. If i could do something for him, it would be to help organise a family gathering since some of my relatives live overseas and we rarely get a chance to be together and it is also his greatest wish to be with the family again.
2)A special home for elderly should include exercising rooms to help them stay healthy and also some room where there are chess and board games for them to play and pass their time.
Healthcare and nursing homes for the elderly should be free of charge only to those who truly cannot afford it. As for the others, the price can be lowered so that they will not burden their families too much.

This is a picture of a air-conditioned room in a old folks home where there are 7 elderly playing ball games with the caretaker there.One nurse with a pony-tail is standing in the middle of the room while the other short one is standing at the side. The nurse in the centre is throwing a beach ball at an uncle, who looks restless like the rest of the elderly.
The picture is most probably taken in a excercising room as there are some excercising equipment in the background like the stairs and rail.These are probably there for the elderly to learn to walk again or excersise other part of their body.
Before the picture is taken, the eldely are probably having their tea break as they all appear very restless,maybe due to the fact that they have just eaten and do not want to be involve in these activity.
I think it is good to entertain the elderly by playing games with them. They will not only enjoy themselves, but also interact with other elderly.Also, it can also help them keep fit but the caretakers need to think of some better ways to get the elderlys to be more interested.

Jane felt lugubrious when she was indicted for something which she had never done. Since she had always complained about her teachers giving her pesky homeworks,with nebulous intstruction on how to do it. Her mother immediately came up with the conclusion that she had bribed her brother into doing it for her since the handwriting was not hers. Her mother reviled her and she felt very disappointed with her mother not trusting her.

Jane appeared to a very kind and considerate women . But, her true nature was the antithesis of her kind and considerate outlook. In fact, she is a professional thieve , stealing to satisfy her own cupidity. When she wants a new hand-bag, she would accompany her coterie of accomplice and they would pretend to be frusal shoppers and distract the shop owner while one of them steal the goods. They would then keep it in a cache and decide on splitting the loots later.

In the past,laws made were way inferior compared to the present laws. One example is the case of Danny Escobedo. His right under the consitution had been abrogated and the alleged accomplice had been denied access to an attorney. However, even though his case is a controversial one, it is agreed by many that if not for his case, some of the laws might not even be improved !.

Tim"s sad ending

2009-03-12T21:01:00.000-07:00

The final year exam is approaching soon. Tim, who was the top student of his class, acted on the premise that there is no one in the class who could be better than him, and became very lax.However, it was incontrertible that he would not do well as he had only manage to barely pass his previous test and he thought he got the highest in the class. Instead of studying, he would go to his own version of "haven", a internet cafe and start playing games. After some careful and surreptitious observation of Tim, the teachers felt that he would definitely not pass his exams and tried to persuade him to study. However, he refused to listen and ultimately, he failed terribly and had to retain in his secondary 3 year.
