Entry 8: Review of T1 Target-Setting Excercise

Setting targets purpose are to help you achieve your targets by always reminding you that you have to achieve it and not give up because your parents will reward you with something. I suppose setting targets are useful because for instance if you aim for 100 you might get 94 or even higher because if your target is higher you'll have to work harder for it or else if you work without any hard work you'll just find that your efforts were worthless. Well I wasn't the one that set my targets my Father was the one. I am going to help myself achieve my targets by making sure I revise my homework. My parents will constantly help me in my assessment and also paying for my tuition. For my Chinese my parents will converse with me in Chinese to help me improve my Chinese. My motivation is that when I get good results my parents will reward me with something. The teachers can help us by giving us more homework as I think we get to little homework.

Entry 7: Festivals in Singapore

Well, the festivals I celebrate are Christmas and Chinese new year. I celebrate only two festivals because I don't have any religions, but the reason why I celebrate Christmas is just for fun. And of course I must celebrate Chinese new year because I'm Chinese and its just enjoying a family reunion. The way I celebrate Chinese new year is by having a family reunion by having lucky yu sheng and then inviting my relatives to come to my house to play video games. The way I celebrate Christmas is just by placing a Christmas tree in my living room till the end of Christmas and receiving presents from my parents and also having a feast, no Christmas cards, no singing carols as I hate singing because it gives me such a headache and no family reunion. Some other festivals I know are Depavali, Auld Lang Synge's day, new year's day, Hari Raya puasa, Esther day, Thaipusam and National day. Indians celebrate Depavali by praying at the temple, Auld Lang Synge's day if celebrated by forgiving and making new friends by people all over the world, Hari Raya puasa is celebrated by doing spring cleaning, drawing pictures on the floor and wearing Malay custom clothing to pray at the mosque, Esther day is celebrated by making Esther eggs and praying at the church, Thaipusam is celebrated by Hindus, some Indians will honer their gods by piercing metal rods attached to decorations into their body and walk through the streets to their Hindu temple and while they walk along the streets their fellow Hindus will sing Indian songs to encourage them to keep walking and not give up, National day is celebrated by we Singaporeans by having a show at marina bay on a floating platform. Celebrating festivals in Singapore helps strengthen racial harmony because if an Indian celebrates Chinese new year he might feel more connected to the Chinese race.

Entry 6: March Term Break

I think the school gets pupils to read every morning is to improve the students English. I like reading because it will help me improve my English and it is interesting to read. I also think that the school has done a proper thing by getting the students to read. I think the school can encourage the students to read by telling them how much reading will help them in their English. If I were to recommend a book, Geronimo Stilton books will be my choice to students because I think that I like reading the Geronimo Stilton books because their sentences are well-phrased.

Entry 5: Activities Outside School

I am a person that is involved in many outside activities, I have guitar , swimming and tuition lessons. For tuition I always put in a lot of time because my total time on tuition is three hours and if you add the time I spent doing the homework for tuition its a total of four hours. I am involved in tuition because it will help me in my studies. I don't feel stressed in tuition because why should I fell stress while it helps me with my studies. For swimming I put an hour, the only good thing about swimming lessons to me is because it helps me with my physical strength and I think it will help with my school work because it will help me by improving the oxygen flow to my brain which freshens me up. For guitar lessons, I learn it because I think its fun, I also think that it will help me in my school work because when I have reached secondary school it will help me gain more marks because if you became like the leader of the CCA the school will reward you with marks because you excelled well in the CCA.

Entry 4: Journey Earth Hour 2009

We all know that climate change does damage to earth but no matter how hard we fight climate change we cannot win, because there about millions of people which rather watch earth suffer while they enjoy, like cases of clearing forests to build farmlands, instead of chopping down the trees which takes a lot of hard work they rather be fat lazy pigs and burn down the entire forest to speed things up. Another case takes place in Canada, the oil riggers there wanted to change the oil they took from the ground into crude oil, when I mean crude oil it means oil that does not contain anything from the ground anymore, because when you have just extracted oil from the ground there sure to be particles in the ground like soil and dirt in the oil right so this Canadians burn the oil with extreme heat to destroy the particles and the smoke form the heat were let out to the sky which affected the climate real badly and to make things worst they could actually avoid this by burning oil in another way but they did not, why? Because burning oil the way they did was cheaper but burning oil another way which did not affect climate change so much was much more expensive, besides it was not like they were going bankrupt. Ok now I will tell you my view on how to fight climate change, the best way to fight climate change is to corporate with one another like in America they chop down woods instead of burning them but in Indonesia they burn the forest, so for example if people around the world could stop burning down trees climate change won't affect us so badly.

I learned that in Microsoft excel we can use it as an calculator but that does not mean we could use Microsoft excel to do our maths homework. In Microsoft excel we create list of items like the " My Visit To The Bookshop ". I also Learned that in Microsoft excel we can create list of things similar to a timetable.One of the things I learned that we can change the colours of the cells or text. The next thing I like about Microsoft excel is the ability to finish stuff like lists and timetable faster then just drawing them out and doing things on Microsoft excel is much neatly the drawing timetables or lists because one's handwriting might be bad. Microsoft excel is useful to me like calculating 641974 x 45484 as if I do it with a working it might take me ages to get the answer.
