Yes i feel that they would share my views. This is because i have noticed through both mine and other people's experiences, that parents and adults favour jobs such as lawyers and doctors more. Many from the older generation also tend to look down own people who have art-based careers, such as street performing. In conclusion i feel that adults would share my views on not being interesting in street performing

No i do not feel that people in my country are interested in activities related to the arts. From my observation through social media, many singaporeans are more interested in watching and playing sports. They also prefer to do other leisure activites such as going on picnics and visiting popular areas of the country with friends. This is may be due to the fact that alot of singaporeans spend most of their time working or studying in quiet environments and want to spend their free time in more lively areas. When i do see singaporeans going to places like museums, its usually to take photos or go on school trips rather than actually going to appreciate the artwork. In conclusion i feel that Singaporeans are not interested in art related activities

Q2: Some development seen on the perspective shared (Social). Rather short discussion. May need prompting and encouragement from the examiner.

Q3: Interesting perspective shared. Could do with more examples given (e.g., what type of popular areas did you mean?). Can be developed further.

Score: 9/15

Qn 1 cosntruction

No i am not interested in working in the construction industry. This is because the work in this industry is very physically demanding. Construction workers often have to move heavy material, such as bricks and large amounts of sand. They also have to do tasks such as digging. On top of that, they have to do all this while often under the hot sun. This tough and humid work environment is not ideal for me as it increases the risk of things like heatstroke and injuries like tears and fractures. Aside from that, the effort to reward ratio in terms of salary for construction workers is not ideal for me. From videos posted through online platforms such as tiktok, there are construction workers who have revealed their salaries, which are usually below $4000 per month. Although i feel that that amount is enough every month, for the conditions i have to work in and the tasks i have to do if i were to join the construction industry, i feel that it is not worth it. There are also videos online where construction workers show the food given to them by their companies. In these videos the workers are seen complaining on how the rice given to them is as hard as rock. In conclusion, i would not be interested in working for the construction due to the tough work environment and low pay.

Office positions and teaching are jobs that i feel are available to the elderly in Singapore. I feel this way as these jobs are not physically straining and allow you to live a sedentary lifestyle, which is suitable for most elderly as they are usually very frail. These jobs also offer salaries suitable enough to sustain the elderly's daily needs without the financial support of their family. This creates a sense of independence in them. In conclusion, jobs that do not require alot of physical strength are available for the elderly.

Yes i feel that some jobs are more suitable for women than men. For example, most families, especially those with young children will only hire female helpers. This is most likely due to the fact that women are often seen as more caring than men. Jobs such as kindergarten teachers are also mainly dominated by females instead of males. In conclusion i feel that some jobs are more suitable for women than men

outdoor camps bring more advantages than disadvantages to students. do u agree

nur_arianna_mohammed — 2024-03-18 06:49:47 UTC

Schools often organise yearly camps for their students. i believe that outdoor camps bring about advantages such as strengthened bond with peers and improved physical health among students, despite some people saying that camps are a waste of time. In this essay i argue that outdoor camps bring more advantages to students than disadvantages.

My first reason for saying so is because outdoor camps can significantly improve a student's relationship with his or her peers. This is because outdoor camps enable students to interact with their classmates and work together outside of the classroom. For example, after my secondary three camp, i felt that my relationship with my group of friends improved as I got to experience four days of team activites such as kayaking together with them. This is why i feel as though camps strengthen the bond of a student with his or her friends.

My second reason for saying so is because outdoor camps may improve a student's physical well-being. Outdoor camps incorporate high, low and water elements into a student's learning such as ziplining, kayaking and trekking. All the activities above can increase a student's stamina and provide them with a challenging physical activity , which is something that students lack while sitting down in class all day. For example, I feel that my stamina has improved after having to push through a long kayaking expedition despite my arms being very sore. This is why i feel as though outdoor camps can improve the physical well- being of students who often have sedentary routines.

However, some people may argue that outdoor camps are a waste of time as it takes away from what could have been time spent on regular lessons and is not efficient to a student's learning. Despite this, I have to disagree as I believe that outdoor camps are a form of learning itself. I feel that outdoor camps teach students to push themselves and experience new things, as well as forging new friendships.

In conclusion I feel that outdoor camps bring about more advantages than disadvantages to students. Outdoor camps may become the norm amongst secondary schools in Singapore as I have been seeing more and more schools incorporate camps into their programmes. We as students should actively engage and participate in outdoor camps in order to keep them inside of our school programmes.

I did not complete the homework as it had forgotten to check on whether i had things to do for English. I did not write down the task anywhere which was why i had forgotten to complete it. In the future i can set a reminder on my phone to tell me to complete my work. i should not have procrastinated and done my work the day it was assigned. I have learnt from this to be more responsible over the work assigned to me. In the future, i will check the English group chat the day before a class just incase i accidently miss something out, so that i can complete it before class starts
