A)Some ways me and my friends can help to save the environment is to reduce the use of plastic and recycle items. When we go shopping, we can use reusable tote bags instead of disposable plastic bags. We can also avoid using disposable plastic plates and utensils when we go for picnics.  We need to cut down on plastic waste as news article shows that all our plastic is deposited into the sea. Because of that, wildlife such as fishes and turtles will think that our trash is food and try to eat it. Plastic is not biodegradable and it takes a long time for it to decompose. That is why there is so much trash in the sea. We can recycle the plastic bottles after use, we can use it to store rain water that will be used to water plants.

B) I agree that looking after the environment is everyone’s responsibility as this planet is our home and it would be very irresponsible of us not to care for it. Parents and Teachers can help spread the message on the importance of taking care of the environment and ways we can help. We can all try the 3Rs which means Reuse,Reduce and recycle. Everyone can reduce the amount of waste produced by simply following these three steps. For example plastic bags, we can reduce the use of it by using reusable bags like tote bags. which has multiple designs we can choose from. The communities can also care for the environment by encouraging Litter picking. We can do litter picking at beaches and parks. Those are the places that litter are commonly found unfortunately. Those places are supposed to be for us to relax and have fun but instead people dirty those beautiful places with their trash. I personally feel very sad whenever i go to the beach and i see plastic bottles being littered every where. I see plastic utensils being buried in sand or floating around in the water. So if schools encourage students to take part in campaigns to help litter picking, we can slowly make the environment clean again.

Day 5 an 2

The best way to travel in my city is by taking the train. It is the best way to travel around the city as train stations in Singapore are very easily accessible, they can be found at the nearest shopping centre or in neighbourhood HDB areas. Another reason why taking the train in Singapore is the best form of trouble is as you are waiting to arrive at your station, the wait is good enough for you to have downtime and relax from travelling from place to place, it gives you enough time to catch your breath and relax before your next stop. In conclusion this is why I believe taking the train is the best way to travel in my city.

Some people think that keeping up with traditions is important. What is your opinion?

# data[].attributes.body
I fully agree with the view that keeping up with traditions is important.

To start off, it is essential to keep up with traditions in order to preserve our culture. Traditions often carry cultural values, practices, and knowledge from one generation to another. These help to preserve a society's identity and heritage, fostering a sense of belonging and continuity. In multicultural Singapore, for example, we follow and celebrate traditional festivals such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali to ensure that our unique cultural and religious practices do not get lost and forgotten over time.

Next, traditions can bring people together, promoting social cohesion and a sense of community. Participating in shared rituals and customs can strengthen interpersonal bonds and provide a sense of stability and familiarity. In our racially harmonious Singaporean society, it is common to partake in one another's cultural celebrations. For an instance, during the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, children of other races and religions take part in the festivities as well by carrying lanterns and eating mooncakes.

Additionally, it is vital to keep up with traditions as they transmit key values to the younger generations. Many traditions are rooted in moral and ethical values. They provide a framework for passing down important principles, such as respect, gratitude, compassion, and responsibility, from older generations to younger ones.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that it is necessary to keep up with traditions to ensure its continuity across generations.

'The best lessons happen outside the classroom.' Do you agree?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to a large extent with the view that the best lessons happen outside the classroom.

Firstly, students can engage in experiential learning where they encounter authentic situations and problems that take place in the real world. This makes learning more relatable for them as they will better understand how the knowledge they gain is applicable to the world and society they live in. For example, when students go for learning journeys they can learn by exploring real places, participating in hands-on activities and experimenting. During a recent learning journey to a polytechnic, I had the opportunity to discover facilities, tools and processes that were related to the courses that I wanted to pursue, which was eye-opening for me.

Additionally, by stepping out of the confines of the classroom students can not just learn important values but put them into practice as well. This is essential to their character development and paves the way for holistic learning to take place, where education extends beyond books and examinations.  For an instance, when students go out for Values-In-Action projects, such as visiting an Old Folks' Home, they interact with needy members of our community and serve them. Through that, they learn and display values such as compassion, kindness and patience. These are valuable lessons that simply cannot be taught inside classrooms.

However, I cannot deny that classrooms play an integral role in traditional learning. It is a space where students communicate, share, discuss and collaborate with their peers and teachers. Lessons that prepare students for assessments also mainly take place in the structured and conducive environment of a classroom.

In spite of these reasons, I still believe that the best lessons that give students an all-rounded learning experience take place outside the classroom.

Q1)I think that the people shown in the video are motivated they seem to be very energetic and the competition between the two teams seem to be very tough I also noticed how eager they were to start the game,there is a lot of teamwork amongst the members of the team  they also seem to be motivating each other by shouting words of encouragement to each other these people feel a strong sense of team spirit as they pull in unison, relying on their teammates' strength and coordination. This sense of unity can foster positive emotions and a feeling of belonging. and this shows how much teamwork is important if they want to win the game Winning a tug of war match can bring a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Successfully overpowering the opposing team and witnessing the rope move in their favor can evoke feelings of triumph and pride. The feeling of achievement may be heightened if the game was particularly challenging or if there was a strong rivalry between the teams. Even if their team does not emerge as the winner, individuals can feel a sense of fulfillment by participating in a fun and spirited competition. Respect for opponents and appreciation for the game's competitive nature can contribute to positive feelings.All in all The thrill of competition can be quite enjoyable

Q2) I enjoy taking part in sports as a feel a thrill of excitement  whenever I take part in them, personally I like Swimming .As firstly swimming is a low impact sport it does not  consume much energy like playing football but instead  is gentle on the joints and allows for a full-body workout, engaging various muscle groups, improving cardiovascular fitness, and enhancing overall strength and endurance even though it does not require many aggressive movements I feel that this way I will feel less tired after swimming.Another reason why I like swimming Is because it is stress reliving as a secondary school student I often feel that school work and exams may sometimes be a little overwhelming for me and make me anxious trying to complete my work in time and as a result I have often experienced many mental breakdowns while doing work or revising for an exam but by swimming the rhythmic movements, the sound of water, and the sensation of weightlessness have a calming effect on  my soul and body this serves as a getaway from my daily school Life.Lastly I enjoy taking part in swimming competitions because they serve as a sense of accomplishment each and every time I get an award for completing a level it motivates me to try and complete the higher levels too Learning new strokes, improving endurance, or mastering techniques can create a sense of achievement have greatly boosted my confidence

Q3) I feel that many volunteers have a deep passion for the sport they choose to volunteer in. They may have played the sport themselves or have a genuine interest in it. For example they even might have been a great player in that particular sports when they were younger and by volunteering in that particular sports it may serve as an opportunity for them to relive their memories people also Volunteer in sports as a way to give back to the community. By offering their time and skills, volunteers help create opportunities for others to engage in sports and enjoy its benefits.And also participating in sports such a 5km marathon they can raise charity for the needy and also raise awareness about a particular topic . Volunteering in sports provides opportunities to meet and connect with like-minded individuals, including players, coaches, officials, and fellow volunteers. It can lead to the formation of strong friendships and professional networks, creating a sense of belonging and social fulfillment.

Day 3 q3
I agree to a certain extend that  Is it important to keep up with our traditions as they often play a crucial role in shaping and preserving cultural identity. They provide a sense of belonging and connect individuals to their heritage, history, and shared values. Keeping up with traditions can help maintain cultural diversity and create a sense of pride in one's roots.traditions not only have to be about preserving our cultural

Identity but can also be about passing down a important store or a house that has been lived in by many generations .By doing this it can evoke a sense of commitment to the family who is inheriting the property ,If it is a shop the people who are running it in the present might try their best to run it

Just like how their previous relatives have done .if is is a house the family which is now living in

It may try their best to maintain the property properly. This specific property that they now have

Inherited is seen as their family’s pride and tradition . Another way tradition is being followed is

By the job in which someone does. For example if someone if from a family of doctors the person is also expected to pursue the same career as their family members this might cause them to feel pressurised or it may block the chances of them pursuing the career they personally want to do

This might even cause them to feel scared to share their opinions about their future to their family members and might end up doing a job that they do not want to do . And because of this they might end up not doing their job half-heartedly, and so it situations like this i think it is okay not to follow the family’s traditions and instead do what they personally want to do

Day 5 Qn 2

“What is the best way to travel around your city?”

There are many ways to get around Singapore such as Taking Buses, MRTs (Mass Rapid Transport) or private transport. But I would most likely say that taking the MRT is one of the best or if not the best way to travel around Singapore as Singapore’s MRT system is very interconnected and allows people to get around Singapore easily and it is very easy to know where the MRT is going as the system is easy to understand by just looking at the train map which allows people to understand it better and not worry about taking the wrong train over taking buses as some buses have the same number and might go very different places and taking Singapore’s railway is more greener over taking a private hire vehicles which is why I think the MRT is the best way to travel around Singapore.

I think that the people in the video are enjoying their time yet feeling pressured as both teams are trying to win an intense game of tug of war. Furthermore, there is a huge crowd watching them compete thus, they do not want the audience to think that they are not capable of winning and is trying their best to win the game. It is a natural feeling to feel that they are on the losing end if a huge crowd is watching because the pressure is giving them tension to put on their best effort. They could also be feeling motivated because many people came to support them, cheering them on. Both teams respectively have their own feelings be it on the winning or losing end. Speaking about Tug of War, I remembered there was a time where my primary school held a sports carnival on 12 July. It was also the same activity like the game showed in the video, Tug Of War. My friends and I participated and had to compete a different class. I felt extremely nervous but confident at the same time because my team was considered one of the most strongest team in the game tug of war and won every single time when competing with a team within my own class. I was confident because I knew and felt that my team was going to win. When it was time to compete against another class, I held onto the rope with all my might and strength and gave it all. Whoever ring the bell will win the game. Just like that, the game started and my instinct were right, my team won the game. Even though we won, I also felt bad for the opponent because their face shows that they were disappointed. Regardless, they kept their sportsmanship and congratulated us and we also thank them for their effort in participating. Hence, that was one moment I could remember every time I participate in a game similar to tug of war.

Q3) Why do you think people choose to volunteer in their communities? [MODEL ANSWER]

# data[].attributes.subject
Q3) Why do you think people choose to volunteer in their communities? [MODEL ANSWER]

# data[].attributes.body
People choose to volunteer in their communities for several altruistic reasons.

Firstly, those who have a deep desire to serve the less fortunate, volunteer in their communities to help needy individuals and groups. They strive to improve the lives of the underprivileged, such as low income families, homeless people and disabled individuals so that they have the support and aid to overcome challenges and progress in their lives.

Secondly, some people volunteer to bring their communities closer together and forge meaningful relationships. By sharing the causes that they feel passionately about and rallying their community to lend their support as well, they aim to create cohesion and a shared vision. For an instance, green volunteers who want to conserve and protect our environment, tend to organise environmentally-friendly activities such as beach clean-ups and recycling programmes in their communities. These bring like-minded individuals together who bond through volunteer events such as these.

Volunteers also get to learn about other cultures and people from different walks of life when they volunteer in their communities. When people volunteer in  multicultural communities, such as in Singapore, they gain knowledge about lifestyles and practices that are different from theirs. This deepens their understanding of their community and expands their worldview.

Thus, these are some reasons why people volunteer in their communities.

What do you think the people in this video are feeling

I think that the people are feeling stressed as both team want to win this tug of war as they have their serious and concentrated face. I think that this activity allow them to bond and build on their teamwork. Plan it effectively, while the people who are watching are cheering for the wining team. Even thought this game seem to be really tough i notice that they were very motivated to participate in the competition. There is a lot of teamwork amount the members and encouraging each other by cheering and shouting to each other.

While I like taking part of team sport because i have been playing net ball since primary school and secondary school too while it can have a better body structure makes you less likely to get sick.aswell i would like to join sport team is because i like the environment there while the atmosphere was work together and never easily say give up. As well in the video the group of tug of war player they try their best to play the game as they never give up till the last. For example i have been playing a competition in school and we knew that we going to lose but we never say give up and we cheer each other up and those substitute players was encouraging us down the stage . So i would like to take part in team sports.

People choose to volunteer in their community is because it bring people together while build camaraderie and teamwork.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people in the video playing tug of war which is a fairly teamwork demanding game are feeling excited and energetic as they actively trying to win the game and this helps to promote teamwork among the people on both sides trying to win. The people who are watching or cheering may be feeling excited and are on the edge of their seats hoping their favourite team will win and they also may be enjoying watching the game when the game ends and they found the winner and loser. The losers may be disappointed that they did not win and feel a sense of unhappiness and they people who cheered the losing team may feel disappointed their favourite didn’t win while the people who won may be feeling ecstatic that they won they may be jumping up and down from the happiness and the people who cheered them may be feeling jubilant that their favourite team won. In summary the people in the video can feel a variety of feelings such as happiness, sadness and disappointment.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video we can see many people doing many different things. Firstly the people playing game, I think they are very competitive as they are trying their best to win the game. I think that they may feel motivated and determined to win the game as there may be a prize for the winner or maybe even a forfeit for the loser. Hence why they would want to to everything in their power to win the game. Secondly, the referee might feel a little bit of worry as this is a very physical game and even though they may be excited to watch the game, if anything bad happens for example an injury to someone or is it gets heated and turns into a physical fight, that would mean that the referees will have to stop them. From the video we can also tell that there are not many referees and so if there were to be a brawl the referees would be outnumbered. Lastly, I think that the fans would feel excited from this competition as it seems light a very close game and either team could win. Hence why I think this is how the people in the video are feeling

# data[].attributes.body
Q1) i think that the people in the video who are playing tug of wars are feeling competitive as both teams’ teammates does not want to let each other down and winning is their main goal. Hence, the players put in their best to win, at the same time, they feel even more motivated by the words of encouragement. As the game proceeds, the audience seems rather excited, shouting words of encouragement and rooting for their friends to win. Eagerly wanting to know who won, the game ended with a winning and losing team. The winning team felt proud as they won with so much teamwork. On the other hand, the losing team felt devastated and disappointed as they tried their best to work together.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video i see a group of people playing an intense game of tug of war. I think the people in the video are feeling the thrill of competing during the game itself especially while being zoned in and trying their best to win. Secondly there were many people watching. They felt the suspense of the close game as they were wondering who would win the tough fight. Thirdly after the game the winning team felt the joy of the victory as smiles started flooding their faces while the losing team looked disappointed with the results. In conclusion with a competitive game in the video comes a mix variety of extreme emotions overwhelming everyone whether its suspense, joy or disappointment

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the video, it shows the players playing a game of ‘tug of war’. I think that the players are enjoying the game. They can be seen playing the game, determined to win and seem to enjoy the thrill of competing against others. As the adrenaline are coursing through their veins in order to win the game, they can be seen tugging of the rope and were still determined despite falling down while tugging the rope. The winning team would be feeling excited and will be more determined to win the game while the losing team would feel discouraged and are more likely to give up due to feeling defeated the second they were pulled. The spectators however, are enjoying the game as they feel the tense atmosphere while recording it. Even though the players are doing their all, it does not mean that they would enjoy the game as much as the spectators do as they would have to risk getting injuries from pulling the rope too hard and falling over due to the strength they had pulled the rope with.

2) There are many other activities in my city, Singapore. Visiting iconic tourist attractions is one of them. Universal Studios Singapore has six different themes such as New York, Hollywood and more. There are rides that are only available in certain countries. Therefore they are considered exclusive. There are also souvenirs available at the shop to bring back as memories and gifts. Another activity is shopping. Tourists can head down to Orchard Road as there are many shopping malls in the area. Singapore is a great place to buy luxury items because of its safeness. Singapore is regarded as one of the safest countries in the world due to its security. Another activity in Singapore is trying the different varieties of Singaporean food. Singaporean food does not necessarily mean food that originated from Singapore but a version made here and with their own style of cooking it. I would recommend some places however there are too many delicious cuisines available here. With the wide variety, you are bound to be in a food coma afterwards

3) Tourism affects the lives of local people by its benefits and detriments just like every other activity. As for its advantages, tourism brings in more job opportunities. Since new infrastructure is to be built to accommodate the tourists, jobs like security guards, hotel staff, shop staff are going to be vacant. With that knowledge, local people can use the MySkillsFuture website or application to reform themselves to a better version of them. They can apply for courses in that line of work to improve their resume and themselves. Another asset added is that local business owners are bound to profit from tourism. With the additional customers, the stores are going to benefit. Tourists can purchase souvenirs to bring home for their friends and family members.

I think that the people in the video are feeling excited yet pressured at the same time as they are trying their best to win  an intense game of tug of war. Also there is a huge crowd watching them compete hence they may feel embarrassed and would not want to lose.I think that They are also feeling motivated as people are cheering them on to win the game. The people who are winning are probably feeling lucky and contended as they know that they are winning and are eager to receive the prize. However, the losing team will feel miserable as they are losing.This video reminds me of when i was around 7 years old. I remembered that the company that my father worked for had a event at Sentosa beach. My family and i went  and did many activities together. One of the activity was tug of war. Both my mother and sister did not want to take part in it neither did i. However my father forced me to participate in it with him. It was scary at first as everyone who took part in the activity were bigger than me as they were mostly adults. However I did not back out as my father was with me and he told me to try my best. While pulling the rope, i could hear everyone cheering me on and i felt motivated to win. In the end, my team actually won and i got a small keychain as a prize. My team, the team who won, felt very contended and fortunate that we won the game of tug of war. However, the people who lost looked very disappointed but still had a smile on their face and showed sportsmanship. At the end of the day, i had fun and also got to communicate with many people.

1) In the video, it shows players playing a game of ‘tug of war’. I think that the players are enjoying themselves in the game of tug of war. I believe that they are enjoying themselves are because firstly, the competitive thrill of tug of war. It taps into our innate sense of competition. The natural desire to outmatch the opposing team creates a thrilling situation. Adrenaline coursing through the veins of players, pushing them to their absolute limits, simply driven by the desire to win. Secondly, the teamwork and bonding that this game may develop. Tug of war is a great team-building activity. It requires coordination, communication, and unity among team members. Working together to achieve a bigger and greater-than-self goal fosters a sense of camaraderie and cooperation in ones team. Strengthening the bonds within the team and builds trust and mutual support. On the contrary, the players may not be enjoying themselves due to the physical strain and risk of injury. Tug of war can be physically demanding, especially when both teams are neck-to-neck and the competition becomes extremely intense. The strain on the body may be too much for the muscle and joints leading to fatigue, discomfort and potential injuries such as, ACL tears or popped joint sockets, when proper precautions are not taken. The risk or sprains, strains, or accidental falls can dampen the enjoyment for some players. Overall, I believe that the players are generally enjoying themselves due to the competitive thrill of the game and team-building the game offers despite the downsides.

3) In my opinion I would say that tourism affects the lives of local people with both positive and negative impacts. This is because I hav seen and also experienced theses events when tourist visit Singapore.

To start off, I would like to talk about the advantages. Firstly there are more profits for local business owners specifically in the food and beverage industry and the hospitality industry. When tourists come to stay in the city for around a week, they might need a place to stay, and the hotels warmly welcome them. Moreover, Singapore is a country where tourists can try and taste different variety of dishes and cuisine from each ethnic group, which ends up as a benefit for business owners especially in hawker centres. Further more, tourism is a flourishing industry where it can generate employment opportunities and contribute to the local economy. It creates jobs in various sectors such as hospitality, transportation, retail, and entertainment, providing income for local residents, leading to increase income for locals through direct employment, as well as indirect opportunities like selling local products or providing services to tourists. This can improve their standard of living and overall quality of life. On the other hand, tourism can cause negative impacts to the locals as well. Firstly it is the cultural erosion. Mass tourism can sometimes lead to the commodification and dilution of local cultures, as they are adapted to cater to tourist expectations. This can result in the loss of authenticity and traditional practices, affecting the identity and cultural integrity of local communities. Secondly, tourists can litter and dirty the city. Many of them might not know the rules and the fine charges if they litter or make the place dirty and will eventually make a mess in the area. This act of theirs might also influential the other tourists and leads an unpleasant impression of the country. From what i know, many of the tourists or even some of my relatives who visit Singapore comments that the place is very nice and neat. However if tourists continue to not throw their trash in the dustbin or spit anywhere, the impression for others that Singapore i a clean city will be gone, and will affect the economy as less tourism will occur. Lastly, tourism may also cause a loss of job. During the Covid pandemic, no one was allowed for traveling and there was no tourism in Singapore. In such cases, there is nothing the country can do but rather lay off the employees, and they will be jobless. Theses are the positive and negative impact tourism affects local people.

3) How does tourism affect the lives of local people? [IMPACT PLAN]

# data[].attributes.body
Tourism can have both positive and negative impacts on the lives of local people.

Firstly, tourism can create jobs and generate income for local people. It can provide employment in various sectors such as hospitality and transportation. This can improve the standard of living and contribute to the local economy. For an instance, the planned expansions to the two Integrated Resorts in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, will create up to 5000 new jobs, thus providing work opportunities for many locals.

Additionally, tourism also stimulates the growth of local businesses such as hotels, restaurants and local tour operators by generating income for them.  Many tourists travel to experience the host destination’s food, culture and traditions, entertainment venues and leisure activities. This is very profitable to the local industries leading to increased entrepreneurial opportunities and income diversification for the local population.

On the flipside, increase in tourists may lead to overcrowding in countries that are already densely populated such as Singapore. Locals would have to fight with tourists for space in public transport, malls and attractions. They may even have to spend long hours in queues due to the high number of tourists who also want to purchase the same goods or services.

Moreover, the behaviour of tourists and their use of facilities, can result in environmental pollution through an increased number of people. Environmental pollution due to increased tourism, such as traffic congestion, littering, and noise, is an important impact that affects the quality of residents’ daily lives.

To minimise these negative impacts and maximize the positive effects, it is important for countries to implement sustainable tourism practices.

Q2)There are many different tourist attractions in my country.such as gardens by the bay and Sentosa,firstly i would like to talk about gardens by the bay .

Gardens by the Bay is a remarkable and must-visit destination in Singapore

This iconic attraction showcases beautiful gardens, futuristic architecture and a delightful rows  of flora from around the world. As tourists enter garden’s by the bay they will be greeted by the fascinating architecture of the super trees which range from 20-50 metres in height  featuring  a unique steel framework adorned with thousands of vibrant plants and flowers. In the evening, the Supertrees come alive with an enchanting light and sound show called the Garden Rhapsody. Witnessing the Supertrees glowing in a mesmerizing display of colors, accompanied by music, is a truly magical experience. Gardens by the Bay is not just a beautiful tourist attraction but also an important hub for environmental sustainability and education. It serves as a platform for promoting green practices and raising awareness about the importance of conserving our natural resources. Secondly I would like to talks about Sentosa .Sentosa Island is a vibrant and captivating resort island which serves as a getaway from the city's hustle and bustle.

Also known as the “state of fun” Sentosa offers m,any different entertainment options suitable for people of all ages .for example younger ones may enjoy spending their time in the adventure cove water park with their family spending their time sliding down water slides,or  snorkeling among colorful marine life. With its mix of natural beauty, thrilling attractions, beaches, and world-class entertainment, Sentosa Island provides a diverse range of experiences for tourists and locals.lastly i feel that tourists would enjoy tasting the different cuisines offered in Singapore.

Chinese cuisine plays a prominent role in Singapore from Cantonese and Hokkien to Teochew and Hainanese, you'll find a wide range of Chinese dishes available. Popular options include dim sum and Hainanese chicken rice, Malay cuisine offers a mix of flavors influenced by traditional Malay, Indonesian, and Indian cooking techniques. Signature dishes include nasi lemak and mee rebus .Singapore's Indian cuisine is influenced by North Indian and South Indian cuisines such as , you can savor dishes such as biryani  and roti prata

Q3) positive impact

Tourism can lead to economic growth by creating job opportunities for example creating jobs like tour guides and this might increase rate of employment for people leading to more job opportunities.tourism can encourage

Cultural exchange between locals and foreigners It allows foreigners to learn about different cultures, traditions, and customs, promoting tolerance, understanding, and appreciation of racial harmony Tourism can contribute to the preservation and conservation of cultural and historical sites. The income generated from tourism activities can be used to maintain and restore important landmarks, monuments, and heritage sites, ensuring their long-term protection negative impacts even though they may be positive impacts for tourism there also negative impacts to tourism.tourism can cause tourists to pollute rivers and lakes or even leave their rubbish behind with pollutes natural places.tourism can also lead to overcrowding Popular tourist destinations often face issues of overcrowding, particularly during peak seasons. This can lead to increased traffic congestion ,and this may cause locals to be late for work or school if their destination is near to a popular tourist spot. In some cases, tourism can lead to the mockery of local culture, where traditions and practices are presented in a stereotypical  manner for commercial gain. This can damage the genuine cultural identity and traditions of a community.

1) Some other activities that would interest tourists in my city are visiting iconic tourist attractions such as Universal Studios Singapore, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands. Universal studios has many attractive and enticing rides to ride on and it can be exhilarating for the tourists. Gardens by the Bay is an amazing sightseeing attraction as tourists can learn more about flowers and admire them in an air conditioned environment which can be comfortable for them, it also has unique architecture which can draw tourists’ attraction. Marina Bay Sands is another great attraction in Singapore. At Marina Bay Sands there is a flyer which is known as Asia's largest giant observation wheel. Tourists can pay extra money to dine and enjoy the scenic view. Another activity that would interest tourists in my city is to visit hawker centres and try out a variety of foods. We have all kinds of cultural food in Singapore and it is very delicious. There is korean food, chinese food, indian food and malay food easily available at food courts. This can be a new experience for them as they may not have tried other cultural foods before.

2) Tourism has affected the lives of local people in a good and bad way.Firstly, there are more job opportunities created just for locals. An example is when Resorts world Sentosa opened up, there were 6,000 open positions available to locals. This made locals have more job opportunities and the economy flourished. However it has contributed to environmental pollution greatly. As more tourists come to the country, they may litter and cause pollution making the place dirty and unclean. For example, when locals litter, it may seem acceptable to foreigners so they may do it as well. Another reason is that the country can become overcrowded. This will make it uncomfortable for tourists and locals. This can also lead to diseases being spread easily as everyone is in close contact.

There are advantages and disadvantages of tourism of the lives of local people. The advantages are that the city itself would have an economic growth, they would have better businesses and more profits for local business owners. The food and beverages industry would have more customers visit their shops, the hospitality industry would benefit very much too. Having tourists would lead to more job opportunties for both the locals and the tourists, example when resort world sentosa just opened, it created over 5000 jobs for both the locals and the tourists. However, there are always disadvantages, the disadvantages are that there would be overcrowding especially at tourists attraction and shopping mall, locals would have to fight for space and jostle around in crowded places and there would be alot of long queues. Having tourists may lead to having environmental pollution whom do not respect our city laws, some tourists spit and litter as they like as it may be okay in their country.

Some other activites that interest tourists are visiting iconic tourists such as Universal Studios Singapore, Gardens by the bay and Marina Bay Sands. Universal Studios is an amusement park which allows everyone to have fun at. There are many rollercosters suitable for both children and adults. Universal studios cannot be found in alot of countries therefore tourists would come to singapore for this particular amusement park. For Marina Bay sands, it is because of its architecture it is popular, Marina bay sands consists of an infinity pool shaped as a boat at the top of the building. For Gardens by the bay, there are events held there regularly and it is free to enter and walk about. If they go during the day, they would not able to mesmerize the colcourful vibrant lights given out at night.Other than visiting iconic tourists attraction, tourists could try the different variety of Singapore food!

Some activities which would interest in my city are iconic attractions such as universal studios Singapore ,USS provides Variety of rides and attractions. The park offers a wide range of rides and attractions suitable for visitors of all ages and interests. From high-speed roller coasters to 3D and 4D simulation experiences, there is something for everyone to try.
Universal studio is a well known theme park in many countries, however not all countries have universal studios, hence tourists from other countries may come to Singapore just to visit it .

Secondly tourists visit Singapore to enjoy the amazing food , as Singapore food is well known for its different types of cuisine , offering a wide range of cuisines influenced by Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures. Tourists can find different types of dishes, from hawker center street food to fine dining experiences

Tourism can affect the lives of local people in many different ways such when a country experiences an abundant amount of tourists visiting the local people would be able to set up businesses to make money off the tourists visiting the country and existing businesses would be able to make able to earn more money from the tourists visiting which allows for major economic growth for example when Singapore opened universal studios on Sentosa island many tour agencies reported a significant increase in the amount of sales of bookings. This also allows them to be able to hire more people which leads to the next point. Tourism allows for more job opportunities related to tourism to be created like jobs in the hospitality sector. This allows for businesses to hire more locals to work and overall boost the country’s economy for example the opening of resort world in Sentosa allowed for around 15000 people to be hired and allowed people to make a living working in the tourism industry. Unfortunately the tourism industry is not all sunshine and rainbows as tourism can cause some places to be overcrowded and experience over tourism this causes locals to have to fight tourist’s for space for example in the Venice locals hold giant protests to stop overtourism due to the constant struggle they face everyday. In conclusion tourism can benefit locals by increasing business and job opportunities but can cause over crowding leading to people to have to fight for space.

There are many different kinds of entertainment in Universal Studios Singapore such as different roller coasters such as Mummy and Transformers, there is also three-dimensional movies such as Shrek where you would sit down in a cinema with the characters in the movie appearing in front of you. Another main activities that tourists like to go to Gardens by the Bay, tourists can indulge in the amazing view of different plants and flowers, it is certainly perfect for a leisurely stroll. That is some activities that tourists can do in my city, Singapore.

3. Tourism affect the lives of local people both positively and negatively. The positive side of tourism on locals is that there will be better business and more profits for local business owners attracting tourists to spend money on dining, shopping, transportations and others. The money that was generated from tourism benefits the entire singapore’s overall economic growth. Hence tourism affects the lives of local people both positively and negatively. However, the negative impact of tourists is overcrowding especially in tourist attractions and shopping malls and it would cause the locals and the tourists to fight for space. Another negative impact is that the environment will suffer as they will be using a lot more electrical energy causing the environment to drop. Hence, the tourism affects the lives of local people both positively and negatively.

# data[].attributes.body
Tourism affects the lives of local people in positive and negative ways m. Firstly the positive effects are better business and more profits for local business owners as tourist  spending money at local businesses help to create additional jobs, generate business income and support local suppliers and service providers. Additionally, when tourists spend money in nearby stores and restaurants, it increases the flow of money throughout the local economy. Secondly there would be more job opportunities related to tourist industry for example the opening of resorts world Sentosa for tourist to spend their time luxuriously and hence increasing the employment of locals to provide service for the tourist . Despite the benefits , there are also an abundance of disadvantages such as overcrowding especially in tourist attractions and shopping malls

# data[].attributes.body
Tourism affects the lives of local people in both negative and positive ways. Firstly, the positive impacts includes better business and more profits for local business owners. When more tourists visits Singapore, they mainly would travel to iconic tourist attractions such as Marina Bay Sands, which hikes up the prices for tourist as compared to non tourist site's. An example of this includes food and beverage industry.This includes mineral water bottles that could be priced at a range of $10 and beyond. With this pricing, business owners could gain more profit as mineral water are an essential. Secondly, this provides locals more job opportunities related to tourist industry. With rising tourist arrivals, this gives locals jobs to be tour guides or even job at the airports. Some negative impacts include not respecting the Singapore laws such as littering and making the place dirty. As bubble gums are prohibited, tourists may spit on the floor as they may not be aware of this law. To add on, they may not respect the culture of each reglious. They may disrespect by taking pictures of temple displays when it is prohibited. In conclusion, tourism affects the lives of local positively and negatively.

# data[].attributes.body
Tourism affects the lives of the local people in both positive and negative ways . Firstly, some advantages that tourism can impact locals is that there will be better business and more profits for locals business owners. For example food and beverage industry and hospitality industry. With tourists wanting to discover the singaporean cuisine , food n drink stall owners will be able to gain a lot of profit of their stall is located in the popular areas such as vivo city , marina bay sands and many others. Since this locations are often visited by tourists, surely they will get thirst or hungry . Hence this can benefit locals . Adding on tourism will allow more job opportunities for locals. For example , Resort World Sentosa hired more than 500 locals to work at the Casino back when it first opened . With more tourist visiting Singapore , more likely there will be more tourist attractions to be built in the future. Hence tourism is an advantage to locals.

Other than that , tourism can also affect us in a negative way. Tourist can environmentally pollute our shared places. Tourists who are unaware of our laws might not compile with them . For example in singapore’s it is illegal to litter and they will be charged with a saman for it . but in other countries , littering might not be such an big issue to them. the tourist might be used to littering back at their own country and has brought it with them when they’re travelling. This can affect Singapore’s image as a clean and green city . adding on tourism might affect locals by overcrowding shared places such as shopping malls and public transport. Locals have to squeeze through crowds ..

How does tourism affect the lives of local people?

Tourism affect lives of local people in  both positive and negative ways. Firstly the positive effect are tourist allow the locals to have better business and gain more profits. Such as in the food and beverage industry as more tourist will go to popular and cheap food compared the expensive and luxury when they are on vacation. Even the hospitality industry gain profit as more tourist books hotel during their trip compared to renting houses. However more tourist mean overcrowding the tourist attraction and shopping mall, this will cause the locals to have to fight for space and jostle around in crowded places such as having endless queue. Tourist cause environmental pollution by tourist who do not respect our laws, such as littering and think that that its fine as they does it in their own country.

# data[].attributes.body
Tourism has a vast range of impacts on locals be it advantages or disadvantages. Firstly one of the advantages of tourism is that it boosts revenue of local businesses due to the increase in customers especially in the Food and Beverages industry as food is a large part of tourism to try the local cuisine, this in turn will increase profits for local business and especially be useful for the small family business, which otherwise would not have many potential customers. Secondly another advantage would be the increased number of job opportunities presented to the locals. As more tourist flood the country, businesses will require more employees to handle the load and same goes for if a new tourist attractions opens. For example when the Sentosa casino first opened, 15000 singaporeans were hired to work in the casino and support running it for the many tourist coming. With all the advantages comes some downsides. One of the most significant downsides is overcrowding. A large amount of people coming into a country results in crowding which causes locals to wait in long lines just to get something like food. Another example is the heavy load on the transport system which causes many locals to be late to their jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
Tourism can have both positive and negative effects on the lives of local people. On the positive side, tourism can bring in revenue and create jobs, which can help to boost the local economy. This can lead to increased economic growth and a higher standard of living for those who work in the tourism industry.

However, tourism can also have negative impacts on the lives of local people. For example, the influx of tourists can lead to overcrowding and increased traffic, which can make it difficult for locals to get around. Additionally, the high demand for tourist attractions and services can lead to higher prices, which can make it more difficult for locals to afford certain goods and services.

Overall, it is important to balance the needs of tourists with the needs of locals, in order to ensure that everyone can benefit from the tourism industry. This can be done through careful planning and management of tourist activities, as well as through efforts to support and promote local businesses and communities. By working together, locals and tourists can create a sustainable and mutually beneficial tourism industry.

there are many activities that tourists can do in my city however there is one activity I recommend which is to visit the Universal Studio Singapore (USS). USS is really popular among foreigners that come to Singapore for a holiday. USS has activities such as roller coasters. Some roller coasters are thrilling and scary, for an instance The Mummy, Cyclone and Transformers. These three rides are very common among tourists. It is such that because The Mummy is a roller coaster underground or in complete darkness where you would not be able to know what is going to happen next unless the you come to a part where they show and illustrate about a story and giving jumpscares that will make the riders shout as they are frightened. These three rides are suitable for required heights and age. For young children , there are rides suitable for them such as Puss In Boots. It is a friendly ride where it would not be as scary as the adults ride. This way , children can enjoy their day too. Another activity for them is to visit Gardens By The Bay. It is also one of the most hottest attractions in Singapore. There is a place called The Flower Dome where it displays all kinds of flowers and the beautiful colours and fogs coming out. It is a big and air-conditioned place where they can enjoy the cold air after walking around in the hot and sunny weather. It will relief their sweat and the scenery is attractive hence, it is a good place for photo-taking and they can upload it on their social media to attract more people to come to Singapore. After sight-seeing, they can have their dinner or meal at Satay By The Bay. It also attracts more foreigners than locals because locals have already tasted similar food in their daily life while foreigners taste it once in a while and it could be their first time trying the food. Therefore, these are some places tourists can go when they visit Singapore.

qn3)

Tourism has a great impact towards the locals. However, there would be both advantages and disadvantages. For an instance, there are many disadvantages of tourism that would affect such as affecting our environmental pollution more. As tourist are there to have a relaxing time, they would not know the laws and would not respect it. There would be some people that would spit or litter in public areas such as at beaches , roadsides. This would affect the cleanliness of the place and even add on to environmental pollution. Despite that, there are also advantages to tourism such as boosting revenue of local business due to the increase of customers such as in the Food and Beverage industry. Food is a large part of tourism especially towards tourist that wants to try local cuisine. This would largely impact local business that are not doing so well. Furthermore, as more tourist visit Singapore, the country would require more employees in the Hospitality industry because there are more responsibility and duties that is needed to be cared for. Therefore, these are the the affects tourism have towards the locals.

PLANNED RESPONSE: MODEL ANSWER [Why do you think the people in the video are on the boat?] Using Dimension Plan

# data[].attributes.body
The boat ride shown in the video seems like a popular tourist activity.  Some tourists would have opted to go on this boat ride to indulge in sightseeing in a relaxed and leisurely manner. If the country they have visited is famed for its seas and beaches, this would be an excellent way to explore the waterways and take in the picturesque views. There may even be some locals on this boat ride who are spending their free time by cruising down the river or sea. This would be a calming and rejuvenating activity for them.  It also presents an opportunity for them to spend quality time and bond with friends and family in the great outdoors. In Singapore, for an instance, both locals and tourists can go on a cruise down the Singapore River on a bumboat while taking in the sights and sounds of the city.  Lastly, some of the people on the boat could be commuting to another island or town. This could be one of the modes of transportation in that  country. In conclusion, boat rides such as this certainly enable people to unwind and relieve their stress as the scenic journey gives them a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives.

There are many different varieties of activities that would interest tourists in my city such as, visiting areas like universal studio Singapore, gardens by the bay and Marina Bay Sands. Firstly to start off I would like to talk about universal studios. USS is a place where many tourists get to buy tickets to access the theme park and enjoy many different rides such as, roller coasters, water slides and watch adventurous shows which are jaw dropping and mind blowing. There are many characters from movies featured in USS movies like characters from Madagascar, minions, shrek and puss in boots which are perfect entertainment for children. Not to mention USS is only located in some countries such as Singapore which makes my city a special tourist destination to visit. Moving on another specialty of Singapore is the multi racial and cultural country which has a plethora of ethnic groups. Which is why we have abundant of cuisines from different ethnic backgrounds some popular options are chicken rice, nasi lemak, chilli crab and satay. Which is perfect for tourists who are adventurous and would want to consume different cuisines.

# data[].attributes.body
Some other activities which would interest tourist in my city includes visiting iconic tourist attractions such as universal a studio Singapore, gardens by the bay and Marina Bay sand. Firstly, universal studio Singapore allows families with children or friends to enjoy time together and make fun and memorable memories together. In USS, there are delicious foods available after a wild ride at the roller coasters. Since USS has a specific theme in Singapore, foreigners visit to experience rides which they do not have in their city. An example of a popular ride is the mummy ride which is known to be scary. With this, foreigners will have a vivid memory of the ride. Secondly, gARDEN by the bay has multiple options to sightsee different plants from different countries in multiple gates they can purchase tickets to enter. With each gates, there are different themes which includes different unique architect and flowers. From my experience, i had visited a Pokémon theme gate which included different flowers from different countries such as Australia flowers with different mind blowing architecture. Hence i believe foreigners will be interested in these gates from gardens by the bay. Lastly, at Marina Bay Sands offers a luxurious hotel with the iconic infinity pool where tourists may have seen it in television commercials. They provide famous mouth watering local signature dishes where tourists come to Singapore to experience for such as Chili crab. In conclusion, i believe that tourists would be interested in trying Singapore signature dishes as well as visiting iconic tourists attractions.

They may also indulge in the architectural splendrous of Gardens By the Bay with the integration of nature into technology. Thus, tourists may indulge in the architectural marvels in my city.

3) Tourism may affect the lives of the local people in a positive manner. It may create job opportunities in the tourist industry for locals. An example being, the casino that is located within Marina Bay Sands. The opening of this casino had created many jobs for the locals. Tourism may also better business and more profits for local business owners such as the food and beverage industry and hospitality industry. Food and beverage industries may be benefitted due to tourists wanting to try local dishes. Hospitality industries due to tourists needed a place to stay in for the time being in the country. On the contrary, tourism may affect the lives of the local people in a negative manner. Such is overcrowding. Overcrowding, especially in tourist attractions and shopping malls negatively affect the locals as the locals need to fight for space and prance around crowded areas. Hence, tourism may positively benefit locals.

There are many different activities in Singapore that are attractive in Singapore but there are definitely a few that stands out to me.

Qn 2.

Whenever tourist come and visit Singapore, they would have to visit Universal Studious Singapore. There are many fun rides at this amusement park. One particular ride that would pump your adrenaline is Cylone. It is a fast ride that makes your heart pump from excitement. There are also many delicious street food there such as corndogs and tourist are able to enjoy it while walking around the park. As Universal Studios is only available in some countries, tourist would find Universal Studios a fun and rare experience. However, if they would want a more relaxing holiday, tourist should visit Gardens By the Bay. There, they can have a relaxing walk around the big garden and learn learn about the flowers and different types of plants there. There, they can also take a quick look at our National Flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim. Adding on, the tourist are able to see the unique architecture at Gardens by the Bay as it has never been seen before.

There, tourist can also enjoy the food there as we have a variety of food from different background and tourist are able to enjoy the different delicacies.

2. b)

Tourism has a great impact towards the locals. However, there would be both advantages and disadvantages. For example, there are many disadvantages of tourism that would affect locals. Firstly, tourism could affect our environmental pollution more. As tourist are there to have a relaxing time, they would not know the laws and would not respect it. There would be some people that would spit or litter in public areas such as at beaches thinking that it is fine to do so. This would affect the cleanliness of the place and even add on to environmental pollution. However, there are also advantages to tourism such as boosting revenue of local business due to the increase of customers such as in the Food and Beverage industry. Food is a large part of tourism especially towards tourist that wants to try local cuisine. This would largely impact local business especially business that are not widely known. Adding on, as more tourist visit countries, the country would require more employees in the Hospitality industry providing jobs towards locals. Therefore, these are the the affects tourism have towards the locals.

As the generation progresses on a new generation of music arises. One very famous form of music that teenagers nowadays love to listen to is mainly K-pop. K-pop is most famously known and loved all over the world for their music and culture . Famous bands such as Bts ,Blackpink, txt twice etc have successfully established a place in their fans heart . I personally enjoy listening to bts songs as they always have a hidden meaning behind them for example spring day was composed in memory  of the Sewol ferry disaster that occured as a result of a unbalanced ferry that capsized in 16 April 2014 .  Not only that bts songs are mostly composed to promote self love and increase confidence this has caused me to be more confident in myself and believe in myself .Not only do fans enjoy K-pop music but they also learn more about the Korean culture such as their traditional foods ,attire and so on causing them to actually appreciate the culture instead of simply using it just for clout.

Some dance forms that are mostly preferred by young individuals is probably hip hop. As the movements are very fluid and easy, when compared to classical dances for example Indian classical dance hip hop is much easier to learn as it does not require a specific style or dance step there are no rights or wrongs in hip hop you can dance freestyle .In contrast to Indian classical dance where we have specific mudras(hand gestures) which are mostly used when dancing and if you get them wrong it will end up completely changing the meaning as mudras are mostly used to tell stories via dancing .

In conclusion theses are the reasons why i feel that k pop and hip hop are mostly preferred by teenagers

I have watched many dance performances be it live or on television. One of my favourite dance routines that I have watched are on live. Since I am a dancer myself, I joined a dance company and there are many dance performances to watch there. My favourite dance routine was a peacock traditional indian dance. The costumes that they wore were very colourful and vibrant. I could really feel the music and the beat. It was a upbeat song which was very exciting. Another dance routine that I liked was a malay dance routine in my school. It was presented by the malay dance cca and they performed for Singapore youth festival. I watched it live on the website and it was remarkable. Their movements were swift and sharp. Their expressions were very fierce and I could feel their emotions through the screen. Their costumes were black and red which really represented the fiery fierce performance. I mostly enjoy watching traditional dances as they tell about ones history and shows off their culture.

Qa) What kinds of music and dance appeal to young people? (using 5Ws and 1H)

# data[].attributes.body
A mind-boggling array of music and dance is widely available and accessible thanks to the advent of the Internet and social media. Thus, it comes as no surprise that youngsters of this generation are exposed to new and alternative forms of music and dance - some of which have gained immense popularity among them.

Firstly, young people nowadays seem to be obsessed with Korean pop music, also known as K-Pop.  Regardless of the language barrier, K-Pop music has attracted youngsters with its fast and catchy beats. K-Pop bands, such as BTS and Blackpink, have amassed millions of young followers who can recite the lyrics to their idols' songs by heart. Thus, I believe that this K-Pop craze is here to stay.

Moving on to dance, I think that the hip hop and contemporary genres appeal to youngsters most. These two forms of dance are heavily represented in mainstream media and popular culture hence grabbing the attention of young people. Furthermore, the trendy and fluid moves make the dance form and the dancers extremely attractive. It is a common sight nowadays to see children as young as five or six years old learning hip hop or modern dance as opposed to more traditional dance forms.

In conclusion, these are the reasons why I think K-Pop music and hip hop and contemporary dance appeal to the current generation of youngsters.

Qb) How far would you agree with the view that it is impossible for people to do without technology nowadays? (using DIMENSION PLAN)

# data[].attributes.body
I fully agree with this view as we are living in a technological era where we depend on different types of technology to lead our day to day lives.

Firstly, technology is integral in education. Most students in Singapore own Personal Learning Devices such as iPads. They use these devices in school to complete online lessons, source for information on the Internet and use various tools and applications. At a time when we are moving towards paperless and home-based education, it would be impossible for students to continue their academic journey without technology.

Secondly, the global workforce is driven by technology. From factories that use machinery to mass-produce goods, to offices that use laptops and SMART devices to store and transmit data, productivity at work is dependent on technology. Without technology, our workforce and economy will collapse in an instant.

Furthermore, our healthcare industry also utilizes technology to diagnose illnesses and treat patients. X-Ray machines, CT and MRI scanning machines are some examples of medical technology that we absolutely cannot do without. Even medical research, to find cures for diseases such as Covid-19, is dependent on technology. Thus, without technology the global mortality rate will increase exponentially.

Therefore, it is evident that it impossible for us to do with technology in today's world.

There was a time where i was bored so i decided to watch a performance on youtube.The band is called NewJeans which is a Kpop band.Which debuted less than a year and already started to be well known for their songs and dance move.Which influence people to follow their dance.For example,i don’t really feel like dancing and singing to songs but their songs are addictive and intriguing, which made me so engrossed to the point that i feel like dancing to their choreography.

B)i fully agree with the view that it is impossible for people to do without technology nowadays.As technology is an important part for people nowadays.Technology affects almost every aspects.From education to health care for people and to the countries.Firstly,in education, Technology provides students with easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.With technology they can look up things when they don’t know how to do or when they don’t understand.Without technology,they will be stuck at it and cannot do anything.Another example is for now,oral,you need to see a video.Without technology than we would not be able to see moving object and person and only see no motion photo,which thus is bad as there little information for us students to see.Secondly,technology help in health care too.In health care,there a lot of machine which need technology and without technology,life cannot be save and which cause people to die.For example now there a device name LUCAS device.LUCAS device  is an easy-to-use mechanical chest compression device that helps lifesaving teams around the world deliver high-quality, guidelines-consistent chest compressions to sudden cardiac arrest patients; in the field, on the move and in the hospital.It help to decreases the chance of dying,and can save life.Thirdly,the country also need technology,they can’t live without technology.As they use technology in many areas like to record things and for new water function and many more.Without technology,our country have no new water as water will be obtained from unclean water.The process needed technology and machine.Thus i fully agree the view that it is impossible for people to do without technology nowadays.

I think that parents are not supportive of their children perusing their passion for music as most parents now still only care about their child’s result because they think that the only the way for their child too be successful is to have good academic results. Also because there aren’t many successful musicians in the world.

Soon the Mcs announced that the event was going to start soon . I not only had the opportunity to watch my friend’s performance but also got to witness other dance performances.

a) I believe young people like to listen to pop as it has always been the most popular music genre for almost a century, for its catchy rhythms and its way with making people dance with the music which makes it very easily likeable and is often the chosen genre for most social gatherings. For dance I believe the most popular dance amongst young people is hip-hop, hip-hop dances are usually very energetic and its not restricted to specific traditional dance moves and  you are free to make up your own moves as you go. In conclusion I believe these are more appealing types of music and dance for young people.

b) I don’t think that parents are supportive of children pursuing their passion for music because especially in Singapore there are not a lot of music career choices that provide a stable income. Although artists such as JJ Lin and Kit Chan have become well known artists in Singapore, they are only well known in Singapore and sometimes neighbouring countries only making a little amount of money compared to artists in America who earn up to millions for the songs they release and with music being very subjective the amount of money made off of each song varies from it earning up to a few hundred to not earning a single cent. Hence why I believe that parents are not supportive of their children perusing music.

Upon viewing this video, I observed that there is a machine packing cakes on a conveyor belt. I find it very useful as it reduce the amount of time of the workers to pack and in the mean while, the workers are able to spend their time on other things such as transporting those packed ones to buyer. In addition, this machine would be able to ensure the cleanliness, provide a clean packing environment, so that there would not be any mess in the packing area. Other than that, this machine is able to multitask in the same time, it is efficient in no doubts.For example,If there are only a few workers tasked to pack all the cakes it will take up a lot of time as compared to the machine.It will meticulously packed in orderly manner as fast as it can.In conclusion,working with machines will benefit us as it will save us a lot of time .

b)B)I agree to the fullest extent that it is impossible for people to do without technology as many of us are using technology in our daily lives.Technology allows people to search for interest online.for instance,learning new skills and different forms of entertainment such as games and youtube.This will help people who are keen to learn or to entertain their boredom.For instance,students uses their personal learning device in school to do research to find answers online to answer their question.For example,i always bring my PLD to school as i know that i have a lot of questions that i do not know so PLD can answer those question.In conclusion,I agree that it is impossible for people to do without technology.

A dance performance that i have watched live was in the school hall and it was Lion Dance. The Lion Dance is a dance that is performed by 2 dancers, one to control the head and the other to control the body and tail of the lion accompanied with sound of drums and gongs. It is often seen during weddings, Chinese new year and other important events. It is mainly a symbol of good luck, fortune, and strength in Chinese culture. It was during Chinese new year celebration in school this year around February. I was with my friends and classmates at the school hall celebrating Chinese New Year. We were watching a lion dance performance which is more impressive than some of the other lion dances i have seen because the dancer controlling the body and tail lifted up the dancer in front controlling the head and still performed well. The dancers were there to send the signals of wealth and prosperity. The dancers moved in a rhythmic fashion, they mimicked the movements of a lion, jumping, rolling, and spinning in intricate patterns, while the sound of drums and gongs filled the air. It was an exciting and colourful performance that was a highlight of the celebration.

B) i agree to the fullest extend that it is impossible for people to do without technology nowadays. In today’s technological society, technology is a very vital tool and these technological advancements has certainly shape our lifestyle. Without it, life would be difficult for students and working adults. Firstly, in todays modern society, students are required to have a technological gadget for learning purposes such as using the device to submit their work via google classroom and engaging in group activities online such as writing an essay together. When the students are uncertain about something, for example not knowing how to spell a word, they are able to research it online and defining their own problem without disrupting the class. Secondly, students may need a device to communicate with their family while in school, an example of this is that they may need to inform about their updated schedule for the day, or when they are involved in an emergency that occured to the student or their family. All in all, having technology around students makes it more convenient for them. To add on, it is an essential for working adults to owe a technological gadget such as household machines, a mode of transport and a phone. Firstly, in todays technological advanced world, chores has become much easy and time conserving. With washing machines, it can help u wash your clothes without manually washing them with your hands. This can save time and energy for adults. Secondly, transportation are a need if the working adults do not owe a car. Without any transportation, the working adults may have difficulties travelling to their work place. Without a phone, they do not have the ability to book a taxi or communicate to get others to drive them to their workplace. Without a phone, the working adults are unable to update their issues they may face on the way to work to their manager. With technological device, adults are able to work anywhere and anytime in their comfort. All in all, technology

Once my out of nowhere my dad asked if i wanted to attend jjlin’s concert , without hesitation I said yes as I been following Jjlin songs for quite a while. Best of all we got front row seats to the concert therefore I got to experience the VIP treatment . When we arrived at the venue , we had to wait for a 30min queue as it was crowded with people , I almost got lost in the crowd as everyone was pushing one another rushing in to the stadium. I was stunned by the amount of audiences that attended the concert . We got to our seats and waited for the concert to start , after a period of time I felt my body vibrating which signaled me that the concept is about to start . I was looking at my phone when suddenly everyone started screaming When jj Lin came on stage . He greeted the audience of thousands of people and started singing all his hit songs , at first I was shy to sing alone but my father was standing up and dancing alone and this gave me some confidence to dance alot with him. Throughout the concert my entire body was vibrating and the vibe in the stadium was intense . Overall this was an unforgettable experience.

a)The use of electronics devices has made my family’s life much easier as it is convenient and everything you want to find, the internet has it.Electronics devices has now become part of our live as we need it for our daily purposes.For instance ,taking pictures, learning new skills online and some form of entertainment.Without it i don’t think we are able to do all these as things in real life does not give us the same form of experience compared to electronic devices.Whatever interest us ,can be found on the internet.For example,There was a time i forgotten to bring my personal learning device(PLD).i had a hard time figuring out how to do my work as i have written notes and at the same time i cannot do my research.So i was struggling with my work and the only way was to ask for my teachers in school.On that day onwards i always remember to bring my (PLD) as not all teachers are free.In conclusion,The use of electronics devices has made life much easier.

b) I fully agree that it is impossible for people to do without technology nowadays. Many people globally rely on technology these days as we are living in a technologically advanced world. There are many ways is how technology has helped us immensely and made it impossible for us to live without. For example, students rely on technology as they use it for research purposes and their textbooks may be digital. This lessens the load and makes student’s bags lighter. Instead of using books to research which can be troublesome, we can use technology to research as it is one click away. Another example is when young adults use technology. They use computers for presentations, it makes communication easier and they also use it to order food sometimes. This makes it more convenient for them. There are many tech companies which would also contribute to the economy of the city. If there was no technology there would be an economy depletion.

B) i agree to the fullest extent that it is impossible for people to do without technology nowadays as many of us are used to relying on technology on our everyday lives. For example in school, students have to use their personal learning device to complete the work assigned to them during lessons. Students also use their personal learning device to search for answers online if they do not know how to answer the question. Also working adults have to rely a lot on technology. For example my mother goes to work everyday with her laptop and she uses it to write emails. They also have online meeting through zoom sometimes.

Some transportation that my friends prefer are public bus and train. This is because it is very convenient and it is cheaper compared to taking private transports. Even though public transport are cheaper i think that the delay in the timing you reach a certain place might be longer. Additionally public transport improve community health. urban planners have looked to public transportation to facilitate improvements in community health and wellbeing. Public transit riders must walk from their front doors to the nearby transit stop and back, which increases physical activity to help address the modern obesity epidemic.

Yes i think that it will help with mass production for example cakes. Since cakes requires a lot of effort and accurate measurement, I think having a machine to help to do so will increase the quality of the food. I think that machines have benefits and disadvantages for example of some benefits are that machines helps with labour work and help with the reduction of human error. Even though it makes close to no mistake i think that there are more disadvantages to having machine compared to advantages. For example machines require a lot of energy and power to be able to allow it to function and it will cause many to lose their jobs due to the technology that is being build to replace man power. Technology is useful to for many for example it can help with medical care or even help with students education. Even though technology can do all that i think the best way to learn are through textbooks and with the teacher.

I agree to the fullest extend that it would be hard for people to do without technology.As firstly the main form of technology that we have is machinery,we have many forms of machinery that we use for our daily life tasks such as laptops especially during the Covid -19 pandemic when we couldn’t see face to face we depended on technology to zoom call one  another to  continue our  doing our work or  studying lessons . We also have household machinery that help us with our house chores such as a washing machine helps us to wash our clothes, due to advancement of technology we even have robot vacuum cleaners which help to clean our house allowing us to carry out and finish our chores much faster .Machinery is also used in work places such as factories to make products or even offices to download and upload software . Technology is also used in the form of buses and MRT trains there are tapping stations where u tap ur card and the machine will deduct the money from your card and let you enter the station.

I fully agree that it is impossible for people to do without technology because we are in a very advanced world full of technology. For teenagers, we use our mobile phones and iPads to do homework. In school, our teachers would send notes via WhatsApp, Google Classroom and Gmail for us to use and do our work. Going home as a teenager without technology is also very difficult as we would not have public transports such as buses and trains to bring us back home. For me, I need to take the bus back home every single day and if that was taken away, I wouldn’t be able to find a way back home as I would not have any mobile device applications such as Google Maps and GPS to find my way back home. Finding food to eat at home will also be tough as we would not have any microwave or oven or stove to cook our food for us to consume. For me, going home most of the time if I do not have any food to eat, I would use the air fryer to cook my food and if there was no air fryer i would not be able to have any food to eat. For working adults, they use their mobile phones to receive calls and send text messages to their colleagues for information. My father always receives calls to receive order calls from his customers for his service. Working Adults such as teachers use their computers to teach their students and they put it on a visualiser to showcase students what they had to do. All my teachers uses their computer such as my math teacher, she uses her computer to teach us how to do algebra, standard deviation and more. Therefore I fully agree that it is impossible for people to do without technology in this generation.

2b) I completely agree with the view that it is impossible for people to do without technology. Firstly students will be affected as most of their work and notes are online. For example we at riverside have the PLD which we heavily rely on during lesson time for activities and studying content for example our online textbooks, student learning space and Kahoot! . Our homework is also given mostly online on google calssroom hence students cannot do without technology. Secondly working adults will be greatly affected as majority of the companies rely on technology to function for example the use computers or machines in factories. Thirdly not having technology would affect the whole world as our society depend on social media to communicate with friends, family and co workers. Not having technology would lead to no communication which would leave the world in a mess. Finally not having technology would affect the elderlies as a huge number of medical procedures depend on machines for example some surgery rely on technology and not having technology may cause life to be lost

# data[].attributes.body
b) I agree that it is impossible for people to do things without technology. As technology is now built into our everyday life. Technology such as the washing machine at home, the computers at work and ipads at school are the things that help us function as a society. For example, the ipads in school are used by students everyday. Due to the Minister of Education providing Personal Learning Devices (PLD) for students to use incase diseases such as Covid-19 occurs again. This PLD’s can come in the form of ipads or laptops. In these PLD’s there are   essential learning tools such as Google Classroom and Padlet that students use almost daily. These PLD’s are now heavily relied by students as they would use these devices to look up for information and even write notes in it. Without this technology, students will be unable to learn as they do now. Secondly, the whole world relies on technology as a way to communicate with people from all around the world. This communications can be for work, studies and just simply talking to a loved one. Without these technology, people will be unable to communicate their business which could cause lead to miscommunication and anger.

# data[].attributes.body
b.
I agree to a certain extend. The widespread use of technology has undoubtedly made many aspects of modern life easier and more convenient. From communication to entertainment, education, and work, technology has become an integral part of daily life for many people. However, while it may seem difficult for some to imagine life without technology, it is not impossible for people to do without it.

There are still communities and individuals who choose to live a simpler, less technology-dependent lifestyle. Some people may have concerns about privacy, security, or environmental impact and opt to minimize their use of technology. Others may find that unplugging from technology is a way to enhance their mental health and well-being.
Finally, whether or not it is possible for people to do without technology depends on individual circumstances and priorities. While many people rely heavily on technology in their daily lives, it is still possible to live without it if one chooses to do so

In the video it shows a machine appearing to be packaging a kind of cake or maybe a Chinese mooncake into containers. I find the machine shown in the video useful as the machine is able to do simply and repetitive tasks quickly and efficiently with littl to no errors. The machine is programmed to perfectly fit the cakes into the tins and press them onto the converyer belt and it can do this efficiently and quickly. With humans they get tired of doing the same mineial task and have to take breaks and getting tired they can make errors. However, with the machine it does not need to rest and isn’t prone to human errors and mistakes

I find the machine shown in the video useful to a certain extent because, as seen in the video, I can see machines that looks like they are making cakes automatically doing the same actions putting on a logo on top of the cake. I find the machine useful as it reduces human work as humans do not need to bake the cakes leaving it to the machines baking it for them instead. So that humans will have less work to do and more time to rest. In this generation, human does not have much time to rest as they are very occupied with school and work. I have seen a machine similar to the one in the video in action before in a restaurant, I have seen robots machines with trays that are going around tables and the restaurant to serve the customers the food. However, the harmful side of machines,as seen in the video, is if it malfunctions the products that are being produced might be not fit for human consumption as it could bring harmful bacteria and germs. It is also very harmful as it is very expensive and not cost-effective. Companies using them if they malfunctions would need to spend a lot of time to repair it or replace it. What if the machines starts to rust and the cake that we are eating becomes disgusting or burnt. Hence that is why i find the machine shown in the video useful to a certain extent.

One form of transportation that are preferred by my friends and family are buses. Buses are very affordable and very convenient. It is also very accessible as they have features such as such a ramp for people with wheelchairs and priority seats for those who have a child, pregnant or old. Buses also offer air-conditioning so that we can escape the hot weather and also provides charging ports so that we can charge our electronics on the go. My friends take the bus to go to school everyday as it is very convenient that the bus they take goes in front of the school. Another form of transportation that are preferred by my friends and family are trains. Trains are also very affordable and convenient and sometimes they even offer free payment for the youths. Trains are also very dependable as they will lead you to the major icons of Singapore such as Yishun, Woodlands and Changi. My family take the train to work everyday cause they are dependable and affordable. I take the train to school almost everyday as going to school with the train is fast and effective and I won’t be late to school. Hence, those are some transportations that are preferred by my family and friends.

I agree to a certain extent that we should only take public transport in cities. We should take public transport such as buses and trains to reduce the greenhouse gases which is very harmful to the environment as it reduces risk of global warming and we need to try to save the planet as we only have one earth like I take public transport to transport from places to places. For example, to go home from school, I usually take the bus 911 which is in front of the school which conveniently stops at a bus stop in front of my house. However, taking only public transport in cities could not be a good thing as well. As cities are very crowded, so if everyone only take public transport in cities. They won’t have much space. Sometimes, the trains could break down which could cause us to be late for our work or school. Taking cars is a more efficient way to get from place to place as you will be going straight to your location rather than trains which goes round and round until you can reach your destination. Hence, that is why I agree to a certain extent that we should only take public transport in cities.

In the video, the machine is used to make pastry. Each machine has its own role to produce the end results of a pastry such as distributing containers, printing the designs on top of the pastry. In my opinion, the machine is useful first and foremost because of its conveniences. Firstly, the use of employees producing the pastry will be lesser and less work is done because its operated by the machine. They can save their energy for a later part of the day to do their other works. Having machines also saves time to produce the pastry and its more efficient because its an self-operated machine, workers do not need to reset the whole thing and start again one by one and the machines do not need to have the workers doing it for them. If the machines are not self-operated, then theres no use in having machines because we are still using a lot of the workers energy and time wasted. It is also more hygienic for example the recent pandemic, workers need to come to the factory to finish their work and it will affect their health more. By having the machines, workers do not need to come and do the pastry on its own as we may never know what kind of sickness we will be bringing with ourselves. Hence, I think that the machines in the video shown will be useful for our future and modern world.

My friends and i prefer to take the MRT as it is convenient and cheap. The MRT from my house to other shopping malls is fast and hassle free. Also, we usually take the MRT when we go out together as it is affordable and we can’t afford to pay for hired cars. The MRT system is very convenient in Singapore as there are many MRT stations around Singapore and we can travel anywhere just by taking the MRT. However on some occasions the MRT would breakdown but thankfully it does not happen frequently. Therefore my friends and i prefer to take the MRT.

My family prefer to take the car as they enjoy having privacy and do not like to take public transports as they have to wait for the bus or train to arrive and it is usually packed. When My mother is in a rush to go to work, she would usually take the car to work as it is fast and efficient. Adding on, when we go out together as a family, we would take the car as my sisters do not enjoy having to fight for seats on the bus or mrt. They also prefer to take the car as it is more comfortable to have conversations unlike public transport where people standing or seating near you can hear your conversation.

Yes I do find the machine useful as it is handy and makes work easier to be done. In the video, the machine is being used to place the pan below where the batter is being poured ,, and after which the cake is baked, it’s being removed and separated from the pan. I feel that such equipments with the use of technology are making our lives easier. If this same cake was to be done by humans, I’m sure it would have been more harder as humans would take a longer process as we cannot do the same spend as the machines. Moreover the machines are programmed in such a way that it can produce a certain number of cakes till a particular time period whereby humans would do it at their own pace. Moreover this machine can avoid any problems or mistakes to be done, such as not adding a certain ingredient which may entirely change the taste and texture of the cake. In our day to day lives, machines are always helpful and security systems; for instance iPad, fridge, air corn, smart watch, fingerprint door lock. Such inventions of technology makes our lives more secure and safe. As even if anything goes wrong, systems would alert us and we can look into the problem immediately. In conclusion, technology has been making our lives better by allowing us to be more safe.

I think that the machine shown in the video is useful.The machine in the video shows that it have many function all at once and the machine has it own specific role in producing cake.this video is useful as it is more efficient as more cake can be made at once and no need to make it one by one.As compared to last time,when technology is not that advance,the process for making a cake is slow and wasting time.You only have one pair of hands and only can do one things at once.When machine is used ,it will be automatic and like for one minute,around 30 cakes can be made when compared to last time.Thus it allow the business to make more income. Secondly,Machines help to reduce work for human,we do not need to have to put in as much effort into working as we had to do before. Thus,allow human to rest more and not be tired.Thirdly,When machine is used,less wastage will be developed too.Lastly,this machine is more hygienic compared to human.As when human is making the cake,than some hairs will fall into the food when unaware.All in all,I absolutely find the machine in the video useful due to it efficiency,hygienic,less wastage and more income can be made.

Machine has more accuracy compared to human as wastage is being
