Dear Loretta 

  How are you? I have not heard from you for a long time . Hope that you are doing fine. Is your overseas trip fun? I am so envious as I've never gone overseas before, not even once. You wanted to know my plans for the school holidays in June, right?

  I came across a brochure which has at least three activities for the June holidays. I have decided to sign up for the " Relax with Kids' Yoga" and " Ang Mo Kio Soccer Club Holiday Programme ". The reason why I pick " Relax with Kids' Yoga"  is because it helps me to relax and rejuvenate my mind, body and spirit. It includes storytelling and music that are led by the instructors. It is conducted either on the 9-11 June or 16-18 June at 9.00am to 12.00pm. It cost $120 per participant. It is a bit costly but I am willing to participate as I have been too stressed out over work. 

  Another reason why I want to sign up for the soccer club is all because I love sports! It would be fun to learn how it is going to be played. I may have to be careful as soccer is a rough game. It would be on Wednesday evenings, 4th, 11th , 18th and 25th of June.  For girls it would be conducted from 4.30pm to 5.30pm and for the boys it would be at 5.30pm to 6.30pm . It is located at Ang Mo Kio Soccer Stadium ( 1 , Ang Mo Kio Road ) and it is free! There is an age limit required  which  is only from 13 to 16. I am looking forward to them. 

  I would also want to be engaged in an activity that is not mentioned in the brochure. It is the bicycle training. I do not know how to cycle on it. No matter how hard it is going to be, I would still give it a try! It is just like a Mathematics question. If I do not know how to solve it, I would try and try until I find the solution. 

  In my opinion, the three activities I mentioned are meaningful and enjoyable activities as I could learn while having fun! It's just like school, we learn different subjects while having fun. I am so elated to see this brochure.

  What do you think about my plans? Reply me back as soon as possible. I wish you the best! 

Cheers

Wendy

Reflection 

  English lessons are considered the most important lessons for us because we would need to use it for our daily lives. Mdm Tan and Ms Foo would always share interesting news article like " Teenagers are smoking nowadays" , " Student yelling at teacher" and many more! This is a good way to teach us as we can improve more on speaking proper English, our vocabulary and grammar by reading and understanding them.

  For my common , I did not fare so well in English. I did not expect myself to get this marks as my homework are usually graded in my expectation. Most probably I did not revise well enough that is why I fare badly, but this does not mean I could not score better marks for the next test. I will put in good effort into both homework and test. I will read more newspapers, practice more on friendly letter and composition, read notes that are prepared by Mdm Tan and Ms Foo and last but not least to listen and pay the fullest attention in class. 

  In my opinion, teachers plays an important role for teaching us. They can try to spot common errors, let us have more reading periods, more fun activities held , more helpful notes and lesser homework as we have to attend tuition , cca and enrichment classes. I feel stressful as I do not have the time to complete the homework unless I burn the midnight oil . This would lead me to insufficient sleep.

Subject: Little India Riot

  Dear Wilson,

                          How have you been studying in Los Angles? Is it awesome? Do you know that a riot happened in Singapore at Little India recently? It was horrific! I never expected something to happen like this in Singapore. It all took place after a driver whom was driving a private bus which knocked onto an Indian national Sakthivel Kumaravelu, 33, at the junction of Race Course Road and Tekka Land.

                         I wonder why would the riot start? I don't think this is necessary ! They are here to work not to create a chaos. Tourist would have a bad impression and will be afraid to visit Singapore after they had heard this news. They would think that Singapore is an unsafe place. Some of the crowd even dare to flip the police cars when they arrived! I really pity those policemen in the car. The crowd were absolutely unreasonable. Argh! I am very annoyed by this incident. 

                           Ok, I can't carry on further as I have a tuition to attend to. Hopefully this riot would not happen again to Singapore. Do write me an email when you see this. Feel free to ask me for the link if you want to see the news of the riot. 

Love,

Wendy

 Personal Recount On A Sad incident that happened during the long weekend

  Yay! It is Chinese New Year! My family and I can celebrate together isn't that fun? I have been waiting for this day to come as it only happen once a year. The reason why I like Chinese New Year it is because we can get to eat many kinds of tidbits, ba kwa and receive RED PACKETS! 
 
  We went to a restaurant to have our reunion dinner. Little did we know, my grandmother was not feeling well on that day. She had a diarrhea and keeps vomiting. I pity my grandmother so much. We planned to take her to the hospital after we had finished eating our dinner. We waited for a long time outside the doctor's room until we found out that she needed to be warded for some days so that they could check on her. We all nodded with agreement. The nurses then moved her to her ward and we went visiting her. 
  
  We all comforted her by saying that she will be discharge as soon as possible. My grandmother is still in her ward up till today. How I wish that she would be discharged and recover in no time.
