P. This source indicates that during the Japanese, not many school has open for all races. A lot of the schools were afraid of Chinese people as they were afraid that some people would accuse the Chinese people and the Japanese people would come.

E. The schools were opened to all races before the Japanese occupation but during the Japanese occupation it was not. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese were against China. The Japanese Government wanted to catch all the Chinese.

E. Some Chinese people were donating money to their homeland and support them. So Anybody can accuse any Chinese person that he or she is a supporter of China and the Japanese will catch them and torture them or execute them.

L. Therefore, I can infer that the schools allowed all the races but during the Japanese Occupation they did not allow all races.

P. This source indicates that during colonial times, the government thinks that studying is important for all races.

E. The government allowed all races to study in the school. He thought the absence of effective supervision and lack of well-defined principles to conduct of schools for all races.

E. However not many people were able to go to school as some people are too poor. The white- people were well off and were able to go to school, some of the Chinese were able to go to school as well but there were very few black people.

P: Before the Japanese Occupation, there were entertainments like theatres and theme parks  where it was a leisure hangout for teenagers.

E: Gay World was one of the three "World" amusement parks that provided affordable entertainment for Singaporeans. The other two were Great World (early 1930s-1978) and New World (1923-1987) . Before the days of television and shopping malls, Singaporeans of all ages and from all walks of life sought out thrills provided by these amusement parks. Gay World, located between Mountbatten and Geylang roads, was set up in 1936. The founder was George Lee Geok Eng (of George Lee Motors fame), and the park was originally known as Happy World when it started. Happy World catered especially fto families with children. Before the war, patrons at Gay World were kept enthralled by an east-meets-west mix of entertainment: cabaret, ronggeng, bangsawan, wayang, movies, gaming, sport matches, stunts, circus and shopping. The fees to these recreations were affordable, even to youths.

E: Therefore we can see that the teenagers have lots of entertainment before the Japanese Occupation.

L: In conclusion, teenagers can easily go to places such as Gay World to relax and enjoy before Japanese Occupation.
