Task 4.

Describe a lesson in school from the POV of the marker the teacher uses.

Everday,every hour,I am touched by millons of germs.I did not like a single bit of it,but what can I do?My owner did not wash me,did not clean me,but use me whenever she wants to.She even gave permission to her students to touch me allowing the germs on me to triple.I did not like it but all of her students enjoy holding me real tight,allowing sparse air for me to breathe.

Day by day,I had to tolerate the noise created by my owner and her students,yes this is my job,allowing myself to spurt ink onto the whitebook every single day.No one thank me till this day,I am the one that brings knowledge to the students,without me,what would they learn?However,my owner is having all the credits to herself after all the work was done by me.By the days that had past,I know that my time will be up real soon...

One by one,I saw how my other friends(other markers) was being thrown into the bin after all that loyalty to her.She ditches us when we are of no use to her,she treats us like a king and brings us everywhere she goes when we are of use to her.Myself and the others,all knew that we are all only tools and slaves to humans,at least that is what they makes us think this way.Yes,we are just nothing in their eyes.

Task 3.

Confessions of a sugar-lover.

"This will be the last one",I promised myself softly yet determined.A second later,I pop a mint flavoured mentos into my mouth,enjoying every bit of sweetness and mint in it.A minute passed,I was already eyeing on the leftover mentos on the tables,resisting the urge to take it and gooble it all up.But theres this one thing that made me stop,the one thing that the boy said to me,his words that kept appearing in my mind non-stop.

This is what actually happened.

People would describe me as a bubbly girl.I was always smiling and being happy all the time, which I highly suspect it is due to the high amount of sugar in my blood.I will die if I do not get to have something sweet in my mouth every few hours.So then,all the birthday presents I received so far,was just food and snacks.Be it sweets or chocolates,I would always jump up and down,screaming like nobody's business even if I were to be in a supermarket.I admit that all the pocket money I received was spent on sugary stuffs instead of proper meals,which often I replaced with sweets.

However sugar,is one thing that destroys me most.I did not know how much harm those sugars are going to do to my body until this boy in my class,who I secretly admire came to me and said this straight in my face that I will remember in my life forever,I just know I will.And it did came true."You are seriously growing wider.Your smile is the only place I could look at right now, talking to you."Those words hit me like a storm,from heaven I was now all the way to hell.The whole class started laughing,I knew by then,I will no longer be the same again,I will no longer be able to smile as much as I used to.But this certainly sets me on a mission to cut the amout of sweets I am going to have everyday.I know this is the only way then I could smile again,instead of growing wider I would grow taller.

This is it.I AM NOT GOING AROUND GOOBLING UP EVERY SUGARY STUFFS I SEES.

Now taking a last look at the mentos on the table,I heave a sigh and walk away.Till this day,I regretted for being such a fool,drooling at whatever sweets that is placed not far from me.I just wished that the boy could told me this earlier,I just wish that all this would never had taken place.I just wish I could be skinny right now.

Task 2.

The room was badly decorated.
I glared at the fresh paint walls with my mouth wide open.I could not bring myself to utter a word ,"thanks" to my mum for the new deocrated room.As I move my eyes away from the walls,I thought I saw stars above my head.Instead of breaking the awkward silence,I stood rooted to the ground,not recovering from the sudden dizziness I had earlier.The paint on the walls were not evenly spread,the windows were covered with black laces,I could see dolls lying all over the room...All of a sudden,my head went into a blackout.

The girls were excited as they waited for the results.
The girls sat still on their seats not wanting to move a inch,hearing only what they seems to be one another's heart beat,racing faster and faster.As each heart beat goes,beads of cold sweat will run down the girl's anxious face.Every breath they took seems to be heavy,fast loud breathing were heard everywhere.Everyone's eyes were focused only in one direction,the direction where the speaker and prize was.The moment all of them had been waiting is here.

Task 1b.

Having two working parents: What are the pros and cons of having two working parents?
In present Singapore,it is necessary for both parents to work.The pros of both parents working,is to allow the family to be financially stable and to also allow the children to grow more independent.However,there are also cons of both parents working.It will affect the communication between the parents and the child and time not spent with them would cause a lack in moral guidance and affects the child's growth.

When both parents are at work,it would meant that there will be more income for the whole family.The family will then be financially stable and thus,the children will receive better health care and facilities.With that,the children will grow up happily and healthily at the same time.

Children are left at home alone while both of their parents are at work.This allows the children to handle their meals alone without any parents guidance,learning to be more independent from young.This would also boost the child's confidence of being able to take care of his/her own and to also make them feel that their parents trust them by living them alone at home.All of this would put a positive impact when they are adults.

There are not only pros of both working parents but also cons of it.Firstly,when both parents are always working,there will be lack of interaction and communication between the children and the parents.Time spent with the children will be very little and this will allow the children to feel that they are not loved and this would cause problems in their lives in the future.There will be little bonding between the parents and the children and relationship between them will be strained too.

Moral guidance for the children is also important in the child's growth.Since there are little communication between them,the children would feel that the attention and love they ought to have from their parents are not received,they will seek other alternatives.Little did they know that these attention they are seeking for will led to serious consequences.Example like,breaking the laws and showing disrespect to the elders.

In conclusion,there are both negatives and postives impact of having both working parents.It is true that it is good for a family with a stable income and children could also grow up to be more independent.However,it is not healthy for the children to grow up without enough affection and being loved from their parents.Which is why moral guidance for the children is vital.
