Blog prompt>>>>

Q:Singapore and Moscow are the two countries that got into the final round of the bid for the Youth Olympic 2010. You are the leader of the Singapore team, about to make a presentation to the committee your bid. Prepare a presentation.

Good afternoon,

Singapore is a multi-racial country, a busy port and a safe country. The people of the country live together in peace. Other than safety, Singapore has also hosted many other important events, including F1. Singapore is uniquely itself. Many things you can find in Singapore, you cannot find in other places, including the HDB flats. Though Singapore's land space is little, its location in Asia is very good helping Singapore to be both a port in sea and land. Tourism in Singapore is popular with it having many popular tourist attractions. Singapore has a very low crime rate. Besides, Singapore is also very clean. Having lots of plant life all around, Singapore is also known as the garden city.
In conclusion, Singapore is a clean, safe and green country.
Thank you.

Q:You are a student activist for animal preservation. You strongly believe animals should not be hunted for their body parts as medicinal ingredients.Draft a speech which you are going to make at a public forum on preventing cruelty to animals.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am making a speech on the cruelty to animals. Have you ever thought how it feels to have your arms chopped off and you have been thrown onto the streets to survive on your own? That is exactly what happens to sharks been hunted for shark's fin. Rhinos have been killed just to get their horns for medicine while its body goes to waste. Animals also do have feelings. Though they are not as intelligent, they are still living things. They do feel pain, do feel scared. Can you imagine ending your life full with fear and pain?

The Moon bear, is kept in cages so that their bile can be extracted. The bile is used as a Chinese medicine. The life of the bears are worst than death. They are unable to move about and they will lose their freedom forever. The last thing they would probably see would be the cages. In a crude way of extracting bile, the bears are forced to lie flat on the bottom of cage for more effective ‘milking’. Often a metal ‘crush’ forces the bears to remain in the flat position permanently, in some cases for years at a time.

I hope you could understand that animals need you to end their sufferings.
Thank you.

Q: Singapore has all it takes to host Youth Olympic Games. Discuss.

As everyone would have known, Singapore got to host the Youth Olympics. This is a good opportunity for Singapore to spread its fame even further and gain more tourists. Singapore, in my opinion, has all it takes to host this special event. Singapore has the special floating platform to perform in, which allows viewers to enjoy beautiful scenery. Singapore is also unique. Why do I say so? Have you eaten chicken rice and seen HDB flats in other countries before? The food in Singapore, other than chicken rice, are unique, with a mix of different countries' taste. HDB flats are also both nice to live in and space-effective. Singapore has also taken part in many activities, including F1 and international conferences. With so much experience, it should be time Singapore took part in Olympics. Though it is only Youth Olympics, it is the first time this event is held. With Singapore's busy trade, unique features and its good geographical location, I believe Singapore has all it takes to host Youth Olympic Games.

Today's Diary 9/3

Thanks Lionell for your explanation in the previous diary post. Anyway, my class was tortured by hours of lecturing of critical thinking today. Should be same tomorrow.... But looking forward to the Camp. Especially the Milo Pool! Let me explain, I went to the same camp when I was Primary five and we were made to slide on a foam into a muddy muddy pond. The instructors said they poured Milo into the pond that is why the pond is brown. But when I choked on the mud water, it tasted NOTHING like Milo... And the A hut! That the camp we were made to live in. 4 solid wood boards attached to a frame made the bed. Actually quite comfortable when you had walked for miles in the day. But disgustingly, somebody abandoned thir underwear and let it lie on the hut floor for two days. Anyway I think you all should like the camp with a drumstick during lunch. Have a nice day!
