Blog prompt-Recycling proposal

Recycling is very important, without recycling, we would already be covered in waste.
Recycling is economically/environmentally friendly, it

• saves a lot of energy
• reduces the amount of trees cut
• reduces carbon dioxide levels
• saves cost
• makes everybody happy

I am sure that you will want to recycle too.

Flowers for Algernon- a Blog prompt (ACE)- a transscript.

ME: Good evening Miss Kinnian I am an interviewer coming from HBS news. I would like to interview you about the Algernon-Gordon experiment, as many viewers want to know what are your thoughts as you play a major role.

Miss Kinnian: Most certainly but it is very tragic.

Me: ok. Firstly what are your thoughts about the Algernon-Gordon experiment?

Miss Kinnian: I feel that Dr Strauss and Dr Nemur should have cared more for Algernon and Charlie. As a teacher it is sad to see your students disappear or fail to accomplish something they deserve I also think that Dr Nemur and Dr Strauss should have done more research before conducting the experiment on Algernon. Despite the fact that Algernon is a lab rat it is still very cruel.

Me: Agreed. Now secondly, what do you think the outcome for the Algernon-Gordon experiment should have been?

Miss Kinnian: I think that Charlie should have remained smart as he worked so hard. In spite of the fact that he was arrogant for a short time, he turned over a new leaf to try and help the mentally-challenged people as he knew that he was the only one to have lived in both worlds and thus be the only one to be able help them, After he started losing his intellect, he started to get moody and began forgetting what he had learnt. On the time when I went to visit him I knew he chased me out because he did not want me to feel sad for him or feel bad, but I still feel very sad as it is partially my fault as I suggested that he should go for the experiment.

Me: Very sad indeed. Now for the third question do you think it was worth it for Charlie or/and Algernon to go through the experiment?

Miss Kinnian: It would have been more worth it if Algernon did not die so fast or Charlie losing his memory after the experiment as for Algernon it is wasting his life and for Charlie it is wasting his time and effort to study and learn. I think that Dr Nemur and Dr Strauss should have told Charlie all the implications and been more kind and not treat Algernon and Charlie as some lab rats.

Me: I am sure many of the viewers would sympathize with you. Next do you think that Charlie should have left New York?

Miss Kinnian: If I was in his shoes, I would also have left but as someone else I feel that what he did was heart wrenching he should have continued to work hard with us supporting him in spite of the fact that he had lost his memory of all that he learnt. In the eyes of Dr Nemur and Dr Strauss, he is of no use, but in my eyes he is someone whom cannot be replaced.

Me: Finally to wrap things up, if you were in Charlie’s shoes would you still undergo the experiment?
Miss Kinnian: If I were Charlie I would undergo the experiment, as it was his one and only desire to be smart. He thought that being smart would make him happier. So he wanted to be smart at any cause.

Me: Thank you Miss Kinnian you have been extremely helpful.

Miss Kinnian: Ok.

Go PUBLIC!- a speech

Hello boys and girls!I am Matthew Siew, president of the Activist's club.You may know why i am here but i will still tell you. I am here to discuss major environmental issues. The main issue is GLOBAL WARMING. I am sure many of you have heard about it. It is something like microwaving the world .
Number one Cars:

• believe it or not but with so many cars in Singapore, there are many traffic jams.
• this leads to wastage of oil and air pollution
• this can be solved by riding in the car only when need to,
• you can walk to school if the school is nearby, you can also ride a bus or bicycle.
• Riding a bus reduces the amount of oil per person and is much cheaper
• riding a bicycle cost nothing at oil but remember to observe safety rules.

Air conditioning

• air conditioning releases CFCs into the air
• these disintegrate and form a layer in the air
• the earth warms up bit by bit and the icecaps melt
• you can use a fan instead of the air-conditioner
• using a fan consumes lesser energy and money.

There are many kinds of pollution, one of the most common is air pollution.The air is being polluted by many substances that indirectly come from us.A form of air pollution is the depletion of the ozone layer.The ozone layer is a collection of gasses protecting us from the Sun's ultraviolet rays(UV) rays.
UV rays cause:

• Skin cancer
• Damage to crops and
• Blindness

And these are only the small minority of implications.I hope that you have learn from what i have just said. The earth is our only home and it is fragile. Do your best to protect it.

The Taximan's Story-blog prompt

The Taximan's story is about a taximan lamenting about the students.


1)What is the irony in the story?

I have found two:

• Even though he disliked the girls on the streets wearing skimpy clothes, they are a source of great income to him.
• Even though he disliked the girls on the streets wearing skimpy clothes, his daughter,Lay Choo, was like one of them.

2)What are the themes raised in the story?

• Trust-Lay Choo betrayed her parents trust and this led to her getting beaten by her father.
• Irony-see question 1
• Isolation-after getting dragged of the streets, Lay Choo was isolated from her friends.
• Generation gap-The taximan could not understand why the new generation of people took drugs and made love to each other)

3)How realistic do you think this story is?
I think it is very realistic but seeing as there is now a crackdown on drugs it may be harder to get the drugs for consumption.

4)What do you think of this taximan?do you feel sympathy for him?
I think he is very street-smart but can over-react. I sympathise with him because his own daughter let him down(even though this happens frequently) when he had pinned such high hopes on her.

5)Do you agree with his lamenting?
Yes in a way. Teens are becoming more and more rebellious but this in a way is better for it lets them find out the consequences the hard way.

6)What about the other characters in the story?Do you sympathy for them?
Yes i sympathize with every single one of the characters in the book including Lay Choo.She may have not know the consquences of what she did and only jumped on the backwaggon

Age and experience-blog prompt.

With age comes experience this is shown many examples.Most people say that old people should be at home, but as the old people have experience, they tend to make less mistakes as they are experienced. Even though everyone makes mistakes, people in their 20s or low 30s tend to make more as they are less experienced.Experience has to be earned.Old people can pass on the knowledge they have to the future generations.
