Blog Prompt 2 (Wk 8)

Singapore, the new venue chosen by the world to host the up and coming Youth Olympic Games in 2010, is a very developed and well-planned country. All of these successes were moulded when our forefathers and current ministers ruled Singapore. Anyway, back to the point of the discussion about why Singapore is an ideal location for hosting the Youth Olympic Games.
Firstly, Singapore boosts a proud “heritage” of having to host many successful events like the F1 race on a street circuit. I believe the world chose Singapore to be the host is because of one of this reasons.
Next, Singapore is a well- developed place and many locals and tourists agreed so, apart from the kiasu-ness of Singaporeans. The world might have decided to give youths a chance of experiencing life in Singapore.
Thirdly, the tourist attractions! Singapore has a whole line of tourist attractions scattered all over it. If you do not experience Sentosa in the south, there is still the Mandai Zoo and the Night Safari in the north. If you travel to Singapore without trying out at least one of the attractions, it’s like not having been to Singapore before.
Last but not least is the history! Not many people understand or even know about Singapore’s history, be it locals or tourists. If you take an inside look into Singapore’s history, you will find it really exciting, especially if you visit the Singapore’s Heritage Centre or Battle Box to experience life during or before the Japanese Occupation.

New ending for Nothing but the truth

The process of Philip Malloy transferring to another school was long and tough. He felt isolated and lonely with no friends and familiar teachers. He was “destroyed”. Some times he wanted to try and make new friends but he had no confidence and thus did not carry it out.
The sun shone brightly and charred the pavement. Strong winds bushed past Philip Malloy, ruffling his hair and making it a mess. The fourth storey height was a scare as he sat on the ledge. Many of his new schoolmates and teachers were all have fun down at the first storey school park.
Small drops of shining yet crushing tears rolled down his cheeks and enter the seam of his mouth. Just in the nick of the time, the idea came. Thinking back of the Harrison High School scandal, he struck a lost thought of apologizing to his teacher Miss Narwin. A few minutes later and he would be toast on the ground at the first floor, luckily for him.
He immediately rushes out of the school and dashed for home. His parents approved and brought him to the school, where he apologized to Miss Narwin. She gladly accepted the apology and Philip Malloy was back to his old school again.

PS: Miss Narwin did not resign; it’s not like the ending of nothing but the truth.

Term 1 Week 7 Blog prompt

Dear ladies and gentleman,
Welcome here and thanks for taking your time away from your schedule to listen to my speech. Anyway let’s go back to the speech, from the recent news article, I have gathered information that illegal kidney sales are ongoing and even increasing. This kind of illegal behaviour is not advisable and I believe that we should put a stop to this incident immediately, if not, the situation would worsen and everyone might lose their kidneys.
I strongly believe that the government plays a role on ensuring that such criminals are punished, which serves as a severe deterrence. Everyone should help in keeping a keen eye out for those illegal kidneys” transplantors” , as each and every one of us plays an important role in keeping the society and community safe for everyone to live in.
So, the point of saying this speech is to emphasize on the importance of having a strong community as I said so earlier, “Every one of us plays an important role in keeping the society and community safe for everyone to live in.” I think that the government is responsible for building a strong and upholding community. The suggestion I would like to present to the government is that they should further train the community people to look out for those unscrupulous doctors who remove people’s organ without their permission or consent.
All in all, I would appreciate it deeply if the government take action in resolving this matter as I do not like to see these kind of cases on the rise again.
Thank You for your kind attention and support

Hello teachers and schoolmates,
I am the chairman of the Recycling club and I would like to present a business proposal to recycle old stuff which people do not need. I would like all of you to present funds to the school for creating and displaying the recycling bins. If you do so, I would sent representives to place recycling bins at the void deck of your home to encourage your neighbours to recycle. Firstly, the point of my speech is to tell you the reason of having this speech which have already done. Secondly, I would tell you the three benefits of having the recycling bin near you.#1.If you recycle cans or bottles, the price of canned drinks and mineral water would stop going up.#2.If you recycle the newspapers, people would not have to work so hard to chop down trees to make paper. And#3. If everyone gets the habit of recycling, the environment would stop worsening.

Thanks You for your time put in for listening to my speech.

I believe that bidding for the Youth Olympics is a wonderful decision as the Youth Olympics would attract people into the country, thus improving on tourism. I hope that Singapore would win the bid as people believe Singapore can do a good job on the Youth Olympics, just like the F1 race.
