Inferring  from source B, I can infer that some Singapore items may be costly for the non-financial assisted people in Singapore. Since Singapore is a small country, people may not be able to afford food, rentals etc.

However, Singapore has huge benefits as it is a beautiful city with a good ambience, the environment is clean as there are cleaners taking care of the places 24/7. Since Singapore is a multi-racial country, there would be a wide variety of food as there are different races and people would be able to have a more ‘open’ decision

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source B that one of the challenges international students face when integrating into public schools is the language barrier between the locals and the international students. From the video, Jiajun Wang, an international student from China, said that, “English is not my mother tongue, so, it’s made it hard communicating with others, especially the locals here at first.” This suggests that international students have trouble interacting with other students and may not make friends easily due to the fact that they do not understand what each other are saying.

I can infer from Source B that one of the benefits international students gain when integrating into public schools is their character change. From the video, Kodai Kudo, a Japanese international student, stated, “I think most Japanese are shy, but I try to change my personality, to not shy.” This therefore suggests that with the change of environment, international students have to adapt to the new school and the people around them, hence they tend to be more outgoing than their usual introverted selves in order to make friends that can help them familiarize themselves with the school, and seek the academic help that they may need from teachers or other students.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The same is true in a number of Singapore schools today. International students make up about 5 per cent of all pupils in primary and secondary schools and junior colleges, according to the Ministry of Education.

And they're bringing with them both challenges and opportunities, for their schools and fellow classmates.

This is the story of three of these international students at Farrer Park Primary, and how they've become part of the fabric of Singaporean school life.
WATCH: Meet Chaorui, Alina and Idris (10:24)

It was only in late 2018, when she was ready to start Primary 1, that Mr Wu felt the family's finances were stable enough to bring her over for her education. (While Singaporeans pay no primary school fees, international students paid S$440 to S$700 a month in 2019.)

But Chaorui struggled to adapt to life in Singapore. She missed her grandparents and her many friends in her village school. Her biggest fear was language. "I didn't want to come to Singapore," she said hesitantly, in Mandarin. "I don't know how to speak English."

When she first came to Farrer Park Primary this year, her knowledge of the English language was, according to her English and Mathematics teacher Tan Jac See, "zero".

"She knew very basic words like 'yes' or 'no', but other than that, she couldn't speak English at all," the latter said.

HELP FROM SCHOOL AND FRIENDS
For international students from non-English speaking countries, picking up the language is often their biggest hurdle, according to the school's vice principal Wendy Lee.

"This is a challenge for them especially in the classroom because they may not be able to understand the teachers," she said.

The school has programmes for students, both local and international, who may need extra help in English. Chaorui, for example, is involved in an after-school learning programme, and she attends the Learning Support Programme (LSP) for those with weak reading skills while her classmates have their regular English lessons.

The pair enjoy running around the playground and exploring the school together during recess. Hian Boon talks to her in English, then instinctively repeats himself in Mandarin; or naturally translates for her what other people are saying.

"I think she is a very quiet person," he said. "She answers my questions in a very soft volume. But I like her because she always asks me what book to read."

He's just one of the many children in the class who have, unprompted, rallied around to befriend Chaorui and help get her English up to speed.

"They help me explain certain instructions in Mandarin to her, and they have always included her," said teacher Jac See. "When I tell them to find a partner, she's always be able to find somebody who'll work with her."

IBRAMSA IDRIS AHAMED, 11: FROM SHY BOY, TO HEAD PREFECT
In another room, an 11-year-old who could not be more different stood in front of his class, presenting an eloquent monologue.

"She pushed me away!" Idris declaimed loudly, with a grimace. "Teenagers on Earth are obviously more dangerous than expected." With a dramatic flourish, he bowed to his classmates' applause.

The school's head prefect, he loves an audience. But Idris was not always this self-assured.

If there's one thing his parents are concerned about, it's that he loves his mum's Indian meals and McDonald's a little too much. That could be a problem when, like his older brother, he has to serve National Service as a Permanent Resident.

"My older son suffered in BMT (Basic Military Training) because he didn't like to eat local food. But now he has learnt to eat a bit of fried rice," said Kasim. "When Idris goes into the army, he might suffer too.

"I always tell him to learn (to like) local dishes. Now I will let him learn himself."
ALINA ADAMENKO, 10: STRADDLING TWO CULTURES
In a sea of children in the crowded canteen, Alina Adamenko sticks out as she queues to buy a mantou and Milo.

It's her long golden hair, which is wound tightly and meticulously into two braids every morning by her mother.

"Some people say I'm French," she said, giggling. "I'm like, why doesn't anyone know? I'm from the biggest country in the world."

Close your eyes, and you might think you were listening to a born-and-bred Singaporean. You would be at least partly right.

Said Alina's father, Mikhail Adamenko: "We had to choose a mother tongue when we put her in a local school, so we chose Chinese." His family came from a town in Russia close to the border with China, and he speaks Mandarin himself.

But Alina's parents want her to stay close to her Russian roots too, even as she embraces local culture. So her after-school schedule is packed with activities: Chinese tuition, taekwondo, swimming, and Russian language and heritage classes which she attends twice a week.

She has learnt a lot about Russian culture, she says, and was proud to wear a Russian traditional costume to school on International Friendship Day.

And it's a bit of a thrill when friends ask questions about her country or to learn some simple Russian words. "If they pronounce it wrongly, in my heart I'm like, 'ha ha ha," she said jokingly.

SCHOOLED IN DIVERSITY
To her friends, however, she is Alina first, and Russian second. "She's a normal person," said Dhara Lakshmi Soumika. "Except that she's super-duper joyful."

Friendships in the school, said vice-principal Wendy, tend to be formed organically. And obvious physical differences like Alina's hair colour (or even less obvious ones, like one's birthplace or culture) are easily overlooked.

One reason for this, she added, is their age. "I think as they get older, they may become more aware of the differences," she said. "But because they are younger, everyone is just another playmate."

Select 1  challenge and 1 benefit and explain how these challenges might apply to an international student attending public school in Singapore.

e.g. Challenge - Food. International students might find the food in public school canteens not to their liking. While there is often at least one of every cuisine in the canteen, specific cuisines like Japanese and Korean are often unavailable. Therefore, international students might struggle to integrate into public school life.

This short comic story recounts the life of a Malaysian student who came to Singapore to study.

1. What were some challenges that this Malaysian boy faced when coming to Singapore to study? (Identify at least 2 or more challenges)

e.g. The boy was crying on the bus because he missed his family at a young age. OR The boy would be tired because he had to wake up extremely early to cross the Causeway and start school in Singapore.

2. At the end, the author mentions 3 main negative impacts of coming to Singapore to study. Choose 1 negative impact and explain WHY it happened.

e.g The author doesn't spend as much time as he would like to with his family because when he was younger, he always had to leave the house really early and would come home really late. Even when he grew older, he moved in with his aunty and when he was working, he seldom got the chance to go back to Malaysia due to his work. As such, the author felt guilty about not spending enough time with his family.

e.g. They can get very close to the teacher. An international student studying in Singapore might thus struggle in terms of relating to the teacher as the student might not enjoy such a close relationship with the teacher in Singapore. Additionally, the international student may unintentionally cross certain boundaries between teacher and student because the student may have a different understanding of what is appropriate.

From Source B, one challenge stated is money. International students of various backgrounds come from different cities, some of which may not have been from a city that has the same economical standards as Singapore. With this, the less privileged international students suffering from the cost of high prices in Singapore would face a lot of challenges, such as rental, food, groceries etcetera, making them really vulnerable when it comes to the financial difficulties.

From Source B, one benefit stated is the diverse multi-racial community. International students would definitely feel much more included in Singapore's society as it involves a community of different races and ethnicities. As such, the international students might be able to come across their own kind of people and even better, to be friends with different people of various races and ethnicities. This can help them learn more about their cultures, religions and backgrounds so as to get to know more of each other. Overall, this can strengthen to form harmonious bonds of the diverse multi-racial community and to also avoid/prevent racism amongst the students.

Studying in Singapore as an international scholar

# data[].attributes.body
1.they think of the safety and security in the country, as well as Singapore being closed to their home country and familiarity with the culture. Singapore is known as one of the safest and cleanest places in the world, there is no threat of natural disasters, no political unrest and little crime due to the measures taken by the government. This suggest international students think that singapore is safer than Australia. Secondly, Many immigrants come from nearby countries in south east Asia. Singapore’s location ensures close proximity to other countries, so foreign students can travel to and from Singapore with relatively low travel cost, compared to travelling to Australia. This suggest when students think that Singapore is cheaper to travel to than Australia .  Lastly being familiar with the culture, means that students want to go somewhere where they can understand and adapt to easily. As they may struggle to fit in society if the culture is too unfamiliar to them, this suggest international students view Singapore’s culture to be more relatable to them than Australias culture.

2. I can infer that foreigners may struggle deal with the cost of living in Singapore as the chart shows lower of cost of living isn’t why most students travel to Singapore to student, suggesting that cost of living in Singapore may be expensive to most international students. I can also infer that international students can have make friends and from a social circle in Singapore as a percentage of them have friends and relatives in Singapore and the culture in Singapore is similar to theirs.

Should You Study In Singapore ? Scholarships, Job Opportunities & Cost of study

# data[].attributes.body
1. One Challenge that the Malaysian boy faced when coming to singapore to study is the long duration to get to school from Singapore and Malaysia. In the comic the author states ‘  i wake  up at 4:30 am and im usually home after 8:00 pm’  this shows that travelling between singapore and Malaysia takes a long time and he has to wake up early and sleep late.
Another challenge  that the author faced was that he had difficulty finding a comfortable home to live

In Singapore after he decided to move to singapore for poly. In the comic the author rented a room in the back of a spectacle shop illegally. This shows that the author was facing difficulties with finance and not being a Singapore citizen.

2. The boy does not get to spend a lot of time with his family as he has to focus on studies and finance in Singapore and when he goes home he is probably busy with work so he does not get to interact or spend time with his family even when he is at home. There may also be times when he is too busy with work that he is not able to go home and visit his family.

3. The main benefit was that the author had more financial agency in singapore than if he had built his life back in Malaysia instead . If he has built his life in Malaysia instead, he might not have been as financially well off as there are more educational opportunities in singapore than in Malaysia. In singapore he got a scholarship for a master’s degree, which benefited him for future job opportunities.

A student's experience with international education: Singapore

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from source B that internaional students in singapore had to interact with unfamiliar citizens of a different country, moreover they have to adapt to the culture in singapore and know the laws and norms of the daily life as a singaporean. With such many things that they have to adapt to, it will be difficult to settle in as they experience many different things compared to their homeland. They also face racism from the singaporeans as from the citizen’s perpective, they think that the foreigners are inferior to them and they think they dont belong to their country.

# data[].attributes.body
I: From the comic, I am able to infer that it is not very easy for immigrants to adapt and/or integrate into Singapore’s education.
E: Source C shows me that the author had to move out from Malaysia to go to Singapore to study as it was really a hassle to travel back and forth from Malaysia to Singapore just to study.
E: This tells me that international students have a hard time integrating into public schools as the distance taken to reach the school are mostly quite far away. Due to the longer distance taken, they will have lesser time to focus on their studies and their health. Having insomnia as their body clock is messed up and having not enough rest will not do very well when they are trying to focus in their academics.

Studying in Singapore worth waking up early for one Johor student

# data[].attributes.body
One of the challenges that the boy faced is not earning enough sleep for a growing student like he was during his schooldays as he had to wake up early to go to school in Singapore even though he lives in Malaysia.

Another challenge is that he did not get enough leisure time every weekday as he wakes up at 4:30am and then be back home in Malaysia at night.

The author had no national identity. This was maybe because he was too caught up with adapting with the Singaporean culture even though he is a Malaysian by birth. He is only in Singapore for long hours to only study and go back to his country just to rest. He did not get to experience much cultures or traditions performed in Malaysia

The main benefit that the author got from studying in Singapore is that he is liable for job opportunities that are higher in level compared to a regular Malaysian now.

There are many challenges that foreigner might face but the most difficult one is money. In Singapore, many things are very expensive. For example, house rental fees are high and some are not affordable.

Q1. Chaorui struggled to adapt to life in Singapore. She missed her grandparents and her many friends in her village school. Her biggest fear was language. “I didn’t want to come to Singapore,” she said hesitantly, in Mandarin. “I don’t know how to speak English.”

Q2. The school has programmes for students, both local and international, who may need extra help in English. Chaorui, for example, is involved in an after-school learning programme, and she attends the Learning Support Programme (LSP) for those with weak reading skills while her classmates have their regular English lessons. But help is also available from their peers. The school has a care buddy programme where students are appointed to look out for and befriend the newcomers. This, according to Wendy, works better than having a teacher do so instead.

E: they face challenges as they endeavour to study abroad  from  government policies to the country’s attitudes. international students may experience culture shock, language barriers, racism, financial stress, and other social challenges.  this will make it tough for them to communicate with one another and it will be hard for them to ask for help when needed. From the data research, it shows that international students often face racism, discrimination and relationship difficulties between faculty and other students.

E: this tells me that international students faced many challenges when adapting to the new environment. it is really hard for them to adapt and when people talks about them, it may affect their mental and physical well being.

I think that the international students do not cope well in public schools of Singaopore. This is because attending school in Singapore as a international students is costly. Without a Singaporean citizenship, international students are unable to get help from FAS to support their family's finances. Therefore, money is something that the student have to worry about when studying in Singapore, which can cause a lot stress and unhappiness among the family.

However, I also think that international students could do well integrating into public schools in Singapore. Despite the costly school fee, international students will be able to get high standards of education which can provide them better job opportunities in the future. Hence, international students will still want to continue their education in Singapore despite the costly price as education in Singapore will help them to have a better future. Therefore, I think that international students could do well integrating into public schools of singapore.

passion made possible:

other than pursing academic pursuits, he decided to come to singapore to pursue his passion for dance as he thinks that there isnt any time for him to fully pursue in vietnam due to his busy schedule. Dance had offer multiple opportunities to him as he gets to participate in dance auditions, competitions and even dsa to victoria junior college. from the source it states”Dance soon became an abiding passion as he participated in dance auditions and competitions. In this way, he was able to enter Victoria Junior College via the Direct School Admission (DSA).” this suggests that dance is an eye opening experience for him.besides being able to pursue his interest for dance, he had also made many close friends there. from the source it states “Would things have been different if he had stayed in Vietnam? “I wouldn’t be doing the same style of dance I’m doing today. And I wouldn’t have met my closest friends,”  this suggests that giang would never met his friends if he didnt come to singapore.

what are some of the struggles they faced.?

Giang had to attend cram class after school so that it woukd increase their knowledge and chances of getting the scholarship. however, no matter how tough it might get, giang would never back down and he is inspired to be like his older brother,le min phuc, whom was awarded Singapores Asean scholarship in 2010. From the source it states “To Giang, these represented an escape from the “long days of classes after classes” at his secondary school in Vietnam. He was motivated to follow in his brother’s footsteps.”this suggests that it is tiring for scholars as they have lessons after lessons everyday just to prepare for a scholarship yet they never give up,

An international student attending a public school in Singapore may encounter challenges related to racism. Singapore is known for its multiculturalism and diversity, but like any society, it is not immune to racial prejudices or discriminatory behavior. International students, especially those coming from countries with different racial demographics, may face instances of racism or racial insensitivity during their time in Singapore.

In public schools, where students from various cultural backgrounds come together, there might be cases where international students experience prejudice or discrimination based on their race or nationality. This can manifest in different ways, such as racial stereotypes, exclusion, or biased treatment. Such experiences can make it difficult for international students to fully integrate into the school community, impacting their overall well-being and sense of belonging.

# data[].attributes.body
I - I can infer that the international students faced challenges in adapting to life in a new country.

E - The challenges faced were getting used to the new environment, having to travel to a completely different country to study, and feeling different from everyone else.

E - This tells me that international students faced many challenges alone as they are in a new, unfamiliar country all on their own without the help of a family member.

I - I can infer that the international students were able to overcome their challenges though the help of the university.

E - University of Greenwich has offered a few useful advices through a video to help international students settle into their new life studying. Other than that, the university has also encouraged students, especially international students, to ask questions as it helps to gain confidence of the students as the university knows the international students might feel embarrassed to ask questions. The university has introduced a wide range of tutors and support staff who are waiting to ask them for help as they know that the international students might be uncomfortable with some people.

E - This tells me that the university is trying their best to help international students feel welcome and comfortable in the university as they know how it feels to be away from home and be at an unfamiliar country with no help.

Q1: international student get to be awarded a variety of bond-free scholarships to students from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) by the Ministry of education.This scholarships cover an annual allowance, hostel accommodation, return airfare and school fees.this scholarship is very helpful for them as a international student.

Q2 the struggles faced by the international students is to study hard enough to get the scholarship.”The academic transition proved difficult for the straight-A student from Malaysia. He “didn’t know how to react” when he got Cs in his first few tests.”this therefore suggest that they are really stress out by studies.they need to get straight A or else this will lower their chance of getting the scholarship.so he feel really stress when he got c.

I can infer from source A that the challenges international students face is they are unable to speak or read english when they come to Singapore, for example chaorui. The LSP class that Chao rui is attending helps her learn english easier. I also can infer that they have low confidence since they know not much English. As the student, Idris, gets more fluent in english, his confidence grew.I also can infer that they have no knowledge about the culture in singapore.

As many international students come from many different  countries they can know a lot of their friends culture.

Singapore way to expensive then you want to buy food also very expensive then need to pay tax also. If want to buy house buy for like every expensive just for a very small house and then Singapore also got Karen then they complain post video judging people then also got racist people say all kind of of things but Singapore also very good as there are many kind of variety of food and cuisines for people to try and many landmarks for people to explore and then also got some kind people in Singapore and can make a lot of friends easily

from source b, I can infer that the integration of international school and public school is not going very well. The things like sufficient food and money the least of the problems mentioned in the video.They have to deal with problems such as racism which can affect a person mental and physical health and they think that the foreigners are inferior to them and they think they dont belong to their country.

singaporeans walk pretty fast

Ore challenge stated in Source B is money. In Singapore, there are a number of things which may be costlv to those that are not as fortunate such as food, house rentals, and many more.

One benefit stated in Source B is the food that is available in Singapore. Singapore is a multiracial country which means that the food here is very diverse and has a lot of variety. The food here would be able to cater to all the different races.

1.Some of the challenges faced by international students are a language barrier e.g(filipinoes,Vietnamese,euroasians,etc), culture shock(adapting to new surrounding), homesickness(far from home or miss relatives), or financial issues.

2.homesickness:
advancement in technology, you can always schedule face-to-face chat with your parents.socialize with people in Singapore. In fact, making connections is the best way to reduce homesickness, as your friends can be your extended family.

financial issues: apply for PR and then FAS

One of the difficulties the youngster encountered was not getting enough sleep for a growing student like he was in his school years because, while living in Malaysia, he had to get up early to go to school in Singapore.
Due to his 4:30am wake-up time and late return to Malaysia each weekday, he also struggles to find adequate free time.

The author was of no particular nation. This may have happened because, although being a Malaysian by origin, he was too preoccupied with assimilating to Singaporean culture. He spends all of his time in Singapore studying before returning home to recuperate. He was unable to participate in a variety of cultures and traditions being practiced in Malaysia

The biggest advantage the author received from studying in Singapore is that he is now eligible for work prospects that are more advanced than those available to the average Malaysian.

From source C, one challenge faced by international students is coping and managing by themselves. Since Singapore provides better education, international students cross borders to get good education. Although this is benefitting them, they face challenges such as travelling without an adult at a young age. They have no one to manage them and they have no choice but to step up and be responsible of themselves without their parents. Therefore, they struggle to keep up on their own and are not able to spend as much time they would like to with their family.
