Term 4 Week 3 : Recycling

Hi everyone,

Recycling means reusing the items.It is necessary to recycle so that we will not waste items.For example, we can recycle plastic bottles, aluminium cans and newspapers.To recycle the plastic bottles, we must wash it first and then dry it.For recycling aluminium cans, the steps of recycling are the same like recycling plastic bottles.I do not really recycle items but I recycle newspapers.The school had put in a lot of effort of recycling and the school can recycle more items to help the recycling progress. Message: We must recycle not to waste items.

Term 4 Week 1: Reading

Hi everyone,

Reading is important because it can improve your English.Nowadays, i'm reading humour books from George Ong.His jokes are very funny and I can even change with my friends humour books to read.I read about 5 books in a month.I dont often read books unless I have a lot of free time or I am bored.Lots of people rather play computer games than reading books.When somone play computer games, some will be addicted to it and do not want to stop playing but some will want to read books than playing computer games.For me, I some kind prefer computer games than reading books because computer games is fun.Our school can put a longer time on silent reading.I want to recommend the humour books because it is funny and interesting.

This year, we are celebrating Singapore's 43rd birthday.National Day is taken on the date when Singapore became independence. I did not go there because I dont have sufficient tickets and my father go only.
