Q: Natural Disasters

  We can say natural disasters were some countries common enemy because natural disasters has destroy their houses. A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard. A natural hazard is a situation which has the potential to create an event that has an effect on people. Disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, for example strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. Some natural hazards are related to each other for example earthquakes can result in tsunamis; drought can lead directly to famine and disease.

  An earthquake is powered by the sudden release of stored energy that radiates seismic waves. The latest earthquake was the 7.7 magnitude Java earthquake on July 2006, which triggered tsunamis. Flood was cause by prolonged rainfall from a storm, including thunderstorms, rapid melting of large amounts of snow, or rivers which swell from excess precipitation upstream and cause widespread damage to areas downstream, or less frequently the bursting of man-made dams or levees. The latest was the 2000 Mozambique flood which covered much of the country for three weeks, resulting in thousands of deaths, and leaving the country devastated for years afterward. 

  Limnic eruption also referred to as a lake overturn, a limnic eruption is a rare type of natural disaster in which carbo dioxide suddenly erupts from deep lake water, posing the threat of suffocating wildlife, livestock and humans. Such an eruption may also cause tsunamis in the lake as the rising carbon dioxide displaces water. Scientists believe landslides, volcanic activity, or explosions can trigger such an eruption. 

Drought was an abnormally dry period when there is not enough water to support agricultural, urban or environmental water needs. Extended droughts can result in deaths by starvation or disease, and can result in wildfires.

Q: Telvision: could you be without it? Discuss.

  I believe that most people in Singapore cannot survive without television especially the elderly because most elderly do not know how to spend their time other than watching television. You can say almost all houses in Singapore have at least one television at home. Nowadays, television is so common that even schools and coffee shop have at least one television. Most elderly sometime will gather at the coffee shop just to watch television or chat to pass their time.

  To me television is the second important especially when my computer has being switch on for a long time that I have to switch it off. I believe that those teenagers that do not have a computer at home will spend most of their time watching television, going out with friends or spend their time revising or sleeping. 

  During the holidays, I will mostly spend my time at home watching television or using computer to pass time as I seldom go out with friends or alone. If my computer and television has broken down I could not imagine what to do to pass my time. I can watch television or use computer until midnight 2 to 3 am if I does not need to go to school the next day.

Q: Life

  Everyone has different answer to the question "What is life?" Some people said that life is money. To me life is about love and being happy as many days as possible. Almost all love stories in television always have a good ending, whereas in reality not all relationship has a good ending. In reality, a relationship can have a good ending if only you work hard for it but if you don't work hard for it, it may become a bad ending. If you want to fall in love, you should find a person that you love and that person also love you so that you have a lower chance of getting hurt. 

  Even if you have a rich family, it does not mean you are happy because you can't use money to buy happiness. You can only truly be happy when you have a family that care for you. In my opinion, we can be happy everyday, if we enjoy every seconds of our life and not waste our time following what others are doing. I believe that our own life is within our own hands and we can decide for ourselves which ways to go to. 

  Life is so precious, so I wonder why there is people committing suicide almost everyday. Some people want to live longer but they can't because of some illness that has no cure. So we must not commit suicide because if we can just live one more day it is a blessing that heaven give us.

Q: "Our lives have improved as a result of computers." Do you agree?

  I agree that computers have improved our lives, up to today almost all families have at least one computer at home. With the invention of Internet, computers have more functions that have improved our lives even more. Some functions of computer are electronic-mail, online shopping, do homework, research, editing of pictures, chatting with friends, listening to music and a lot more. 

  If we send electronic-mail it only takes a few minutes for the other party to receive it. On the other hand, if we send a letter, it may take a few days for the other party to receive it. Nowadays, computers have become lighter and portable compare to the computer in the past which are heavier. 

  However, with computer most people may play game continuously and end up skipping meals which will affect their health. Some people might also commit crime using the Internet to ask other people for their particulars to cheat them of their money. Some people may introduce viruses, spy ware and ad ware to the Internet causing computer to slow down. But there is some software such as anti-virus that helps us to protect our computer from those viruses.

Q: Freedom

  Freedom is a thing that everybody wanted. Actually, freedom is just around us, just that nobody notice it. So everybody felt that freedom is what they lack of. A lot of times, we have to fight for it.


  Some people do not want others to control them but most parents do not want to give their children too much freedom because they are afraid that their children will make friend with the wrong company and will go astray easily. Almost all teenagers want to be independent and they want to have the freedom to make their own decision.

  Parents want their children to be obedient so that they would not have to worry about them and would not have additional stress. Parents control their children because they do not want them to mix around with the wrong company and do anything illegal. Parent prevent their children to have boy and girl relationship because they does not want them to be hurt either physically or mentally and also wanted them to concentrate more on their studies.

  Youngster wants freedom because they do not like to be control by other people and like to hang out with friends. Youngster wants more freedom of money and the freedom of hanging out with friends. Maybe parents know when to give their children the freedom they wanted to have at the right time. 

  I believe that some teenagers do not want their parents to nag at them everyday or tell them what to do. Teenagers are growing up now and I believe that they have their own opinions.

In my opinion, we have to fight for our own freedom or else we will not have much freedom.

We have to prove to people that we will not do anything illegal even if we have complete freedom.

Q: A telephone call that changed your life.

  Just when I was using the computer, I heard the telephone rang. I went to the living room to answer the phone. "Hello, how may I help you?"
  "This is Mr Kwah from SANA, congratulation! You have won our first prize in the SANA all cash donation draw, the prize is fifty thousand dollar. You may come and collect it tomorrow at SANA, 2 Sengkang Square #05-01, Sengkang Community Hub."
  "I remember that I did buy some SANA all cash donation draw ticket, thank you very much." The telephone went dead. I quickly went to find the ticket and I found it after a few minutes of searching. 
  The next day afternoon, I went with my parents to SANA, 2 Sengkang Square #05-01, Sengkang Community Hub to collect the prize. I discussed with my parents how to use the money when we have reached home. I suggested that we saved one third of it and used the rest on a trip to Japan. My parents agreed with me that they will use the money as I said. They said that we will go on a trip to Japan next week since next week is a school holiday. Very quickly one week has passed by, I remembered that our flight to Japan is at 2pm, we arrived at the airport at around 12.30pm. When the announcement said the flight to Japan is flying off soon, all people going to Japan are to board the plane. 
  After fifteen hours on the plane, we have arrived at the Japan airport. We took a taxi to a hotel and checked in to have a good rest until the next day. The next day we went to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant. After eating, we went to shopping centre and saw a lot of people were disabled begging outside the shopping centre. Upon seeing them has touched my heart.
  When we have reached Singapore, I swear to the heaven that I will help up in voluntary works if possible. After doing voluntary works, I feel great all of a sudden maybe it is because after seeing all the disabled people smiling.

Term 1 English Language Test 2

Students should not wear uniforms to schools. Do you agree?

I disagree that students should not wear uniforms to school. If the students do not wear uniform to school then they will be able to leave school as they like without being caught.So if they skip lesson or school, nobody will know where they are. If the students get into trouble, the school will be held responsible. Apart from this, anybody can enter the school when they claim they are from our school. 

Wearing uniforms can allow the students to act as a group. Apart from this, wearing uniforms can be used for identifying students. On the other hand, if the students do not want to wear uniform to school then the school will have to give them a card for identifying them. Therefore, if the card is lost then the student will not be able to enter the school.

At the same time, I agree that students should not wear uniforms to schools. Some students will get bored as they have to wear the same shirts, shorts or skirts almost everyday.

To sum up, wearing uniforms not only can act as a security purpose and also for identifying the students. It can also be used to avoid confusion in the school.
