I do not know of anyone who vapes or smoakes which is in this school I think

I know that my uncle vapes and it is a blue berry flavor but that was lang time ago so I don't think he vaaps anymore.

Alxkeey shouldn't ask his friend too vaap has it is a very hard addiction too overcome

Art 2🐦‍⬛

I learned from the article that we shld seek help when we are at our Lowest you shouldn't be handling these addictions on your own as these are very dangerous

article 1:

1. No, i don’t know someone who was offered a vape by their friends but i do know people who vape or smoke cigarettes. From what i know, its a way to relieve stress for some people or some decided to try and eventually got addicted which made it hard for them to quit.

2. Yes, Alxkee should send the message as being a good friend means to tell them whats right and not do illegal stuff. It shows how he cares and worries about his friends as it could affect their life as it is harmful to their body. If he sends the message, his friend would probably reconsider his decision and alxkee would be saving someone’s life which makes him a good friend and also a good person. Its all about humanity

article 2: i learnt that everyone has struggles that they don’t talk about and find it hard to seek help, and everyone had a point in life where they were at their lowest and thought it was the end. I learnt that we should always check up on those who seem off as sometimes its hard for them to seek help. Us people can play our part in checking up on our friend as we dont know what they’re going through and it can make their day a little better. A small act can make someone’s day better.

1) Yes, I know someone who was offered a vape by their friends . They just said “No thanks, I don’t want to try” and ignored them when they started to pressure them more. By being clear, they showed they were not interested, and the friends eventually gave up and stopped bugging them.

2) Yes, alxkee should send the message. His reply shows courage and responsibility, he reminds his friends about the dangers of drugs and reminded them to think about their future. Sending the message sets a clear boundary and line that he does not want to be pressured into harmful activities and he will never cross the line and expects his friends to do the same while still showing care for his friends’ wellbeing and health.

Article 1 :

1. I don't know anyone who was offered cigarettes or vape since the people i know tend to make smart decisions and can reflect on the future if they make bad decisions.

2. Yes, alxkee should send the pre-typed message to his friends as it shows that he really cares about his friend's health and would want his friends to stop using it before it becomes an addiction and can cause some issues in the nearby future. He is helping them to save their future.

Article 2:

3. It's okay to ask for help from someone else to stop an addiction and to save your future. Joe was depressed after his friend's passing and continue puffing. His friend's mother came to help Joe to quit his addiction and not to have Joe have the same fate as her son. This shows its okay to ask someone for help when you have an addiction that will be harmful and lethal in the future.

The two controversial points I came up would be that she could've develop the British accents at such young age.

The second point would be that her parents could've afford going to other countries and international school. The reason I came up with this thought of this two points is that she could develop the accents within as a short period of her life. The reason second point is that how much parents could enough money in five year to afford to live in another country. How she doing in life right now

2 points that surprised was that she was able to switch between 3 accents and I can only do 2. Switching between accents are tough and sometimes the can be an accent slip.

It caught my attention because if I ever saw an Ang Moh speaking Singlish, I would think that the impression would be bad but the says that the accent sounds like a singaporean and that is really shocking thing to hear. Maybe they are trying to learn the slang to colonies us again?

Why do we see Westerners as special? As a Singaporean, I speak on the half of Singapore that when we see an Ang Moh, we tend to stare and look at them like they entered our habitat. And I feel that seeing them makes us think of them that they are super cool when they are just regular humans. I think that if we were to see an Indian learn a Chinese accent we would be shock but not like super shocked.

1.1. Daisy Anne Mitchell seamlessly switches from a British to an

American accent, before finally switching again to Singlish

2.1 It caught my attention as it's very skilled to be seeing a british person who's white who can switch to an south east asian accent because I never seen a white person speaking an asian accent

1.2. This is where I feel the most comfortable. I feel like a true, blue Singaporean, even if I don’t have

citizenship yet

2.2 This also caught my attention as out of the 100+ countries she could've choose she chose Singapore a tiny island, this makes me proud of my country, It also reminds me of a time when Singapore was worldwide viral on tik tok when a person who was from bangladesh saying "people living in Singapore is a lucky person" and "Singapore safety number 1"

3. What happenens if she accidentally speaks the wrong accent to her white friends? Will they make racist jokes to her?

# data[].attributes.body
Ms. Mitchell’s ability to switch between British, American, and Singlish accents so naturally.

Her struggle with identity and accepting her multicultural background, especially her accent changes.

The first point caught my attention because it’s impressive how someone can adapt their speech so fluently—it shows a deep connection to different cultures and environments.

The second point stood out because many people with multicultural backgrounds often face similar identity struggles, and her journey to self-acceptance is both relatable and inspiring.

Cayden

1) What struck me most was how Daisy is able to switch between British, American, and Singlish accents so naturally. For most individuals, there is only one or two, but 1) she picked them up from having been under different school systems while she was growing up. It is not only how she speaks—it is actually how where she has been is part of her identity and heritage.

2) I was also surprised that even though she's British by origin, she feels more at home in Singapore now. I had thought that she would still feel a sense of connection with the UK, but she said she even feels like a stranger there. It was a reminder that home isn't always where you're from, but where you belong.

3) I'm curious to know how long it took her to get used to her voice and the accents. It must've been difficult having to deal with being criticized online or expected to sound a certain way. I want to know how she figured out what was most natural for her.

The points that struck me is that the reader can say three different speeches as she originated from Britain. Another point that struck me is that she changed from an international school to a normal singaporean school and is difficult for her .she faced identity challenges as she realised she wasnt going back to her country, Britain and she must stay in singapore

2.the article says that "At the time I didn’t appreciate the unique perspective growing up (in Singapore) gave me" shows that she had a hard time knowing the surroundings of singapore because she was originally from britain and from my perspective if i was raised in a another country i too would feel the same way as we are not familiarto the new place. For my other point i feel that she is able to pick up the singlish accent very well as i watch her videos on tiktok. Her amazing skills to switch is quite useful and cool.

3.the question that i would further explore about the topic is that how is she able to speak the three different speeches and how long it took

2.In the article it states that "At the time) I didn’t appreciate the unique perspective growing up (in Singapore) gave me" shows that she had a hard time accepting and adjusting to singapore because she was originally from britain and from my perspective if i was raised in a another country i too would feel the same way as why werent we raised in our homeland and wouldnt feel comfortable yet. For my other point i feel that she is able to pick up the singlish accent quite well as i watch her videos on tiktok. Her amazing abilty to switch is quite useful.

3.the question that i would further explore about the topic is that how is she able to mantain these three entirely different speeches and how long did it take her to realise her ability.

The fact that it was surprising of how fast she was able to switch her accent from western to English. That actually caught me off guard and it was really unexpected.

Even me myself who is a singaporean, is actually stunned by it.

# data[].attributes.body
1) The part where she said that she wouldn't talk in her American or Singlish accent at home because she didn't want her parent to think that she was embarrassed about her British accent. That part struck me because it was probably confusing for a kid or teen to have to switch from accent to accent around people and considering this is Singapore she probably talks in Singlish more, So its impressive how she does not forget how to switch to her other accents or not feel like its redundant to remember them.

2) The other part would be that she didn't stick to international schools which would typically be expected of people who aren't Singaporeans, If that was my child I would be hesitant to put them in a local school as it would confused them, but since her parents started when she was younger it would've probably been easier for her to adapt to the local school system and having to actually talk to the locals

3) I would probably ask about the experience of how it was in the local schools while being a Caucasian or "ang moh" as it is probably intimating for some

• one point that struck me is that she can change her accents from British, American to Singlish. Another point is that she accept Singapore as her home and she is a permanent resident here.

• i find it impressive that she can change her accents to British, American to Singlish because not everyone can do that as it can be confusing and hard to learn. Plus, she learned it in a short period of time in a young age. That was what caught my attention as i wouldn’t be able to learn 3 accents in a short period of time. When she said she accept Singapore as her home, it caught my attention as she was originally from Britain. However, she came to Singapore at five years old and started learning more about Singapore and the accent. She also absorb stuff quickly, so her Singlish and Singaporean accent developed here. She also felt comfortable as a Singaporean as she said “Even when i visit the UK, i don’t know the slang or the roads” This shows that she feels more comfortable and feel like a true, blue Singaporean even if she doesn’t have a citizenship yet, so she feels like home here.

• How is she able to develop her code switching ability?

1. Two things that shocked me was the fact that she had three accents (Britain, American and singlish) and even though she's Britain, she moved to singapore to learn.

2. The accents surprised me because she was diversed in three countries. The fact that she moved to Singapore to learn, shows that she was very smart and determined due to the fact that asia and Europe is very far.

3. Why did she move to Singapore even though Europe has a lot of good schools?

Her ability to code-switch between three different accents (British, American, and Singlish) effortlessly:
This shows not only her linguistic flexibility but also how deeply she adapted to her environment. It struck me how language can be both a tool for connection and a source of identity confusion.

She feels most at home in Singapore despite not having citizenship yet:
This really stood out because it shows that a sense of belonging goes beyond legal status. Her emotional connection to Singapore was stronger than any official documentation, which says a lot about what truly makes a place feel like "home."

How do Singaporeans define national identity, and what role does language or appearance play in that definition?

Two points that particularly resonated with me from the article are that she possesses three distinct accents and that, despite her British origins, she has come to know more about Singapore than her home country.

The fact that she can speak with three different accents caught my attention because it's quite rare for someone to master multiple accents. Typically, people tend to have just one accent based on their upbringing. I found it intriguing that, despite having lived in Britain, she has developed a deeper understanding of Singapore due to her longer residence here. This highlights how our environments can shape our identities and perspectives.

If I had the opportunity to explore further, I would like to know how long it took her to find an accent that she felt best suited her. It must have been challenging to navigate between different accents, and I wonder how she ultimately decided which one to embrace as her own

1. The two points from the article that struck me as a reader is the fact she can change her accents from British to American To Singlish. Her capability to change her accents is surprising as that is like 3 accents and she was originally from Britain which was quite surprising. Another point is that even though she is originally from Britain, she treats Singapore as her home.

2. Her capability to change her accent into 3 accents surprise me as most people could maybe have around 1 accent, that is what caught my attention. Like, she was in Britain for 5 years before moving to Singapore at the age of 5 and entering an international school before changing to a Singapore Primary School. So, she used a British Accent for 5 years since she was in Britain, used an American Accent for 4 years since she entered an international school at the aged of 5 till 9 (Primary 3) and used Singlish accent after entering a Singapore normal school. Which means, under a short period of time, she managed to developed 3 accents. Myself, could not even do it since I normally use a Singlish accent which counts as 1 accent. I thought she would consider Britain as her home since she was born and stayed there till she was 5.

3. I would like to know how she managed to developed 3 accents over in a quite short period of time as it is impressive?

What struck me from the article was that she moved to Singapore at such a young age and was so scared of what her classmates and parents might think of her if she spoke in either accent, and brands that she advertises insisted on using her Singlish accent, as if it will bring in more people. The reason why these caught my attention is because she struggled with how people then viewed 'ang mohs' or international students, and brands were taking advantage of the fact that she's a little different from the crowd. My question is that did she struggle with bullies back then, or did her classmates adapt to her?
