Beverages

Caffeine have beneficial effects on our body. Caffeine is always a handy drink that keeps you awake when you feel sleepy. Although it doesn't get rid of the need for sleep, it gives you a boost of energy and reduces the sensation of tiredness for about 3-4 hours. This will be very useful if you have work that you have to finish and you feel tired. Caffeine also lowers the risk of liver disease. I feel caffeine is beneficial to the body as long as there is not taken excessively. I drink coffee quite often which contains caffeine and I find it really useful whenever I feel tired. For example if I did not get enough sleep the night before I would drink coffee and it would allow me to pay more attention in class. Caffeine too will give me a boost of energy whenever I do some physical activities. During competitions, I might need to grab a cup of coffee as it will keep me alert to my surroundings. I feel caffeine is really useful when you need to keep awake!

Comic book that I read recently

I remember reading some Baby Blue comics a while ago. I felt that the comic was really funny as the way the children and their parents interacted with each other was very amusing. The way the characters are drawn is quite detailed. What I really like about the comic is the storyline that the scenes depict. The storyline is about the children doing or saying silly things, which ends up making it really fun to read! I love how it's always so funny and makes me laugh! I would recommend this comic to people of all ages, because this comic will make you laugh no matter how old you are. But some younger children might not find it funny because they might not understand what the characters mean.

A fiction book that I read recently

The book I read recently was The Twits, by Roald Dahl. I read it again after a while. I enjoyed the book as Roald Dahl made the story line very fun and imaginative. The book did not really challenge me but I felt the language he used at time were a little difficult to understand. I would recommend this book to young kids between 8 to 10 years old. Because this book is quite simple and will give the children a good laugh as well as increase the size of their vocabulary. I hope young kids will read these awesome books by Roald Dahl!
This is a link to the book on Goodreads.

Prejudice can lead to war

During the World War 2, the Germans were prejudice against the Jews, this led to a massive war.

Letter of encouragement to survivors

Dear Kumiko Makihara,

How are you doing? I have heard of the situations in Japan and I totally sympathize with how you are feeling. I understand that it isn’t easy watching your country being destroyed by Mother Nature, while feeling so helpless. I really wish I could help in a way or another.

Kumiko, I really hope that you will remain strong and optimistic through this current turmoil Japan is facing. Everyone around the world feels for Japan and they are doing the best they can to help Japan. Countries from all around the world have sent rescue teams to save people who are affected by the earthquake. Many countries have also donated money so that Japan can replenish their resources and support the people living in Japan. In Singapore, we are raising awareness of the earthquake, which left people homeless, and many people are donating to the Red Cross so that we can help you guys in Japan out. Everyone is doing his or her part to help Japan out!

Don’t fret, Kumiko! I am sure Japan will be all right! I really admire how calm you guys in Japan reacted even though the earthquake had affect so many people. The order in which you keep when you collect water and food is just so good. With such brilliant attitude Japanese have, I have no qualms that you will pull though just fine!

I really hope that you have felt the effort we have put in to help Japan in one way or another and you will feel encouraged to look at things from a positive point of view. All of us will support you all the way! We will be praying for you constantly!

Yours truly,

Gerald Tan

Experience of presenting project

My presentation during project's day competition went quite fine. My group had wrote out a script so that we could refer to it during the presentation. But having to present in front of many people, we could not remember our points and ended up referring to our script most of the time. Whenever I do presentations for important projects, I would find myself feeling nervous. I think many people would also feel the same too. I feel that all we need is practice, the more we practice the more fluent our project will be and we will gradually stop feeling nervous. During this presentation, I kept telling myself to relax and prevent myself from being nervous but it was not easy. I really think that I should start practicing presenting in front of a large audience more often.
