I like to shop in markets like these  since it will most o the time be lively and these markets out win supermarkets with the freshness of the produce, with vegetables delivered fresh from the farm, and meats and seafood fresh .

Even with the technology we have  in our day an age, it will not surpass shops and markets since it has many set backs like being unable to see or try the goods whichs makes it hard to know the quality and we are also could get scammed easily since we never saw the goods nor have we seen the seller. shops and markets or the other hands gives the products to us to test it. they also allow people to travel around to get the items so its a good way to exercise.

I honestly don't think that the activity is relaxing for me. Bangladesh seems really crowded and humid. the living conditions seem to be bit poor from what I saw. and the way the man stated that he wanted to conceal himself to kind off protect himself gives me a sense of unease whether the place to even visit

(I don't see any women .I'm just gonna assume it as the people in the vid)
I think the people in the video had a really enjoyable experience at hong kong .

I would over to go on an immersive trip overseas as part of an exchange trip as I would like to learn more about other countries. I love to explore and this would ge a great opportunity for me to go out and learn more about other countries cultures and way of life. I would also like to know more abot how students study.

I think it is important for one to live in a country to know more about a persons way of life so as to understand how people of that country go through the city. it is also a great way to learn the customs of the country and the basic mannerism so as to not offend others

They seem really energised and happy doing their aerobic excersises. they seem to have some fun while doing the excersise with the music probably why they don't seem tired as they are having fun while doing it

to me personally I find that the best way to keep fit is by doing some excersie you love and also trains up your stronger parts of the body. for example I love to run and I find it a really good way for me to keep fit and excersise. i also use my phone and listen to songs I enjoy as a distractor so as to not get tired. sometimes when im in a group I talk to my friends and we have one another to push ourselves to run.  I feel that everybody is strong in some aspect of the physical body and should focus on that. for example some may be strong in their strength while some are strong in their agility and some in endurance

The Singapore Zoo is home to over 2,800 animals from over 300 species of mammals, birds and reptiles. Its a protection area for animals that are going extinct as  it protects them from poachers and  has breeding programs for them to breed and prevent the prevention of the animals.

Universal Studios Singapore is one of the most favorite places i enjoy visiting in Singapore. You can enjoy so many rides, shows, and spectacular attraction here. There are 7 zones with different themes in this place, Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, Lost World, Far Far Away, and Madagascar.

Are humans in cities happy? Yes, most of them are, at least some of the time. That’s life. Animals in good zoos are certainly at least as happy, and quite probably happier, than animals living in the wild. The lack of disease, parasites, untreated injuries, and regular food contribute to contentment, and reduce chronic misery.It’s pure anthropomorphism to imagine they spend all of their time pining away for ‘freedom’ , something they have little understanding of. Captivity has its own stresses of course, no matter where you are, life is never perfect, and no one’s happy all the time.

(b) A school trip that I have enjoyed the most is actually my most recent trip to Shanghai , China. I was part of my school’s talent development programme so I am very lucky to be able to travel overseas for my school trip. During my school trip in Shanghai , we visited three different schools and it was a very eye-opening experience. I got to spend a whole day together with some of the students from the various schools and I learnt a lot about how a normal school day in their lives looks like. Additionally , we visited the various iconic tourist attractions in Shanghai and got to learn more about Shanghai culture and history. Moreover , since it was my first time travelling overseas on my own , I had to learn to be independent and take good care of myself and my friends. In a nutshell , I feel that I managed to take away a lot of learning points from my trip to Shanghai and I will never regret going for this school trip. 

(c) I agree that we work too hard and do not take enough holidays. This is because nowadays , our lives are really busy and hectic and it can be really stressful at times. Sometimes , when the stress gets too overwhelming , we all need a break once in a while. Even though you might lose the time to do something productive by going on a holiday , going on a holiday does not look as bad as it seems. By going on a holiday , we are able to distress as well as allow us to spend time with our family members. Additionally , research has shown that taking holidays can actually help to prevent heart disease as well as improve our productivity. If we don't even go on holidays or take a break from work and continue working , we would eventually burn out or even break down from all the stress that we have been feeling which is not good for our mental health and the long run. Hence , I agree that we work too hard and do not take enough holidays. 

(b) A family event that I have attended was back in 2015 where my dad’s company hosted a family day event. It was 5 years ago and I don’t remember much but what I do remember is that there was popcorn and a table with colour pencils or crayons for us to colour with. I remember eating bags and bags of popcorn with my sister while watching my dad talk to his various colleagues. The family event that I attended did not have any bouncy houses or carousels which is quite a shame but I had fun nonetheless. 

(c) I agree that we do not spend enough time doing things with our families these days. This is because nowadays , everyone is on their phones and since we are all so preoccupied with our phones , we do not talk to our families as much as we did last time. I am guilty of this and I am trying to use my phone less and spend time with my family more. Additionally , our lives are all very hectic and busy so we all might not be able to make time to spend time with our family members. One way my family spends time with one another is talking to one another after dinner. During this “family time” , we will tell each other about how our day was and if there was anything interesting that happened. This way , we are able to spend time with one another as well as get to know each other better.

(b) Yes , as I would be able to learn more about school life is like in other countries. This way , I would be able to appreciate how their day in life is like for them as well as appreciate my own daily school life on a whole other level. I have gone for a school trip to Shanghai , China when I was secondary two so I think if I could choose which country I would like to visit next , I would choose the USA. This is because I am quite interested in how their school day would look like. 

(c) I think I need to live in a country to understand the people who live there. This is because when we live in a country , we might need to learn to speak its native language which can enable us to connect with the natives in the country as well as feel like we belong in the community. When we feel like we belong in the community , we would then take more initiative to sit down and talk with the natives of the country and get to know all about the history of the specific country that we are living in. 

(b) The best way I have found to keep fit and healthy is to exercise daily , drink plenty of water and eat lots of vegetables. Exercising daily is good for our body since exercising increases the production of endorphins which are known to help produce positive feelings and reduce the perception of pain which is good for our mental health as well as help boost our brain health and memory, reduce pain and makes us feel relaxed and sleep better. Moreover , drinking plenty of water is something we should all be doing since water is known to prevent kidney damage , boosts our skin health, beauty and performance during exercise. By drinking plenty of water , we can prevent becoming dehydrated which allows us to fall sick less easily. Finally , eating lots of vegetables will allow us to have a healthy diet and immune system since vegetables at sa source of many different kinds of nutrients like potassium , vitamins A , E , C and many more.
 

(c) I think that children should spend less time on computer games and more time keeping fit.  This is because even though computer games can help children relieve stress after a long and tiring day after school or simply just kill time when they are bored , it is not necessarily the best way to help children relieve stress or past time. Spending too much time on computer games can result in eye strains , hand or wrists problems , obesity , neck and back pain. These are all not beneficial or good for children in the long run. As I mentioned earlier , exercising can help improve our mental and brain health, our memory and makes us feel more relaxed. It is definitely a much better way for kids to relieve stress or spend their time. Hence , I think that children should spend less time on computer games and more time keeping fit.  

 

(b) My favourite place in Singapore is Universal Studio Singapore. This is because I made many memories there and I constantly have a lot of fun when I go back to USS. During the June holidays , my parents would always book a hotel stay at Sentosa and we would go to USS for a whole day and spend time together taking all the rides. Going to USS makes me feel adventurous and excited to try all the scary and fast moving roller coaster rides. Moreover , I also get to relieve some stress since I am constantly screaming on the rollercoaster rides that I go on. (but if you don’t scream , there’s no point in talking the ride)

(c) I do not agree that no animal can ever be really happy in a zoo to a certain extent. In my opinion , I believe that it really depends on the situation / context. This is because if an animal is treated well and with the love and care it deserves , the animal would definitely be happy staying in the zoo. However , if the animal is not treated well and lives in very poor living conditions , the animals would obviously not be happy with the idea of staying in the zoo. It is true that animals belong in their own natural habitats , but some animals that have been in captivity all their lives may not be able to adapt to life out in the wild. Hence , it is better for them to be placed in zoos for them to be well taken care of which would definitely make them feel much happier rather than them being out in the wild. 

(b) the times that i really needed to use my mobile phone is whenever i’m not home , for instance , during a school camp or a school trip overseas. why i needed to use my mobile phone is to call and text my family at night because i really miss them a lot. i get homesick quite easily so being able to text or call my family whenever i am away from home makes me feel more reassured and comforted. i remember the first time i travelled overseas on my own during a school trip , i felt really scared and nervous. however , being able to text my family made me feel much better and i was less afraid and more relaxed. 

(c) i do not think our lives would be better without mobile phones as mobile phones are now an essential thing in everyone’s lives. even though mobile phones can be a distraction for students when studying , it can hamper our thought process and hinder our sleep , mobile phones has certainly made life easier for all of us. for instance , when we get lost , we would not have to go through the trouble of using a map and a compass just to find our way back , instead we can use a GPS or google maps. another example is when students have doubts or queries about a certain subject , they can use apps to help answer their queries or search on the internet for answers. additionally , mobile phones has made teaching much easier as there are fun and interactive apps that i am sure many students enjoy using such as Kahoot and many more. thus , i do not think our lives would be better without mobile phones.

(b) my most recent shopping experience was last week where i followed my mum to Chong Pang to buy my family lunch. currently , due to the situation in singapore and the circuit breaker , we had to wear our masks out and it was quite uncomfortable because it was really hot wearing the mask. i remember my mum telling me to quickly buy our lunches and go home because it wasn’t a good time to be outside currently and we have to be socially responsible to protect ourselves and others.

(c) i do not agree we will not need shops or markets in the future because shopping will be done online. this is because if all shops and markets close , many people such as the stall owners would lose their jobs and it would not be easy for them to find a job since finding a job can be really competitive. additionally , with many people losing their jobs all at once , it could damage our country’s economy greatly which is not beneficial for all of us. moreover , many people might not have access to the internet and if shopping is all done online , these people would not be able to get any grocery shopping done which could make their lives a lot harder. thus , i do not agree we will not need shops or markets in the future because shopping will be done online.

(b) i have not been on a school trip but recently last year, in november, i went on a 5-day holiday cruise with my family. as it was it was my first time going on a cruise, i was really happy to get to experience it. the food there was amazing as well as the activities available on board. spending five days there was like three days to me as i really enjoyed myself and i felt really sad when it was all over. i really hope i could go on another cruise trip soon. 

(c) i guess this depends on a person’s interest as not all people think the same way. some would prefer working and spending on necessary items, rather than spending a large sum of money travelling around the world. some others would also work really hard and then treat themselves to a holiday to take a break once in awhile. i can also say that some people dislike travelling as from what i heard, they tend to get frustrated while packing or that they consider it as a waste of money. hence, i think going on holidays differs from each person. 

I personally dislike travelling, crowds and new places.This is because the acivity was to explore a new country. I have poor sense of direction and getting lost in a place so crowded and unfamillar is not relaxing! I do not think that I would enjoy a trip through a humid and densely populated area. This activity would be the opposite of relaxing, I usually travel with my extended family and any trip with them wold be the opposite of relaxing and as I do not like travelling to new places, where it seems loud and warm it would not be the most relaxing.  

An enjoyable school trip for me was the school trip with my literature class to wastch the play 1984. The play is adapted from the book 1984 and being a book lover I enjoyed the play immensely. The actors were professional, the lighting and sound cues were on time and the audience was attentive and silent, my kind of show ! 

I think that we have plenty of rest hourrs and that they give us ample time to relax. These resting periods are  not always holidays or weekends but just small pockets of time on the train or bus or just during meals. Those are the times that I find give me a break from my hetic work schedule.Holidays and weekends are extended resting times and should be spent with family and current holidays give us ample time to be with them.

I think that they would go home and rest. They appear to be a large faily with young children and they have all had a tiringday and going home  a rest seems a good option.

I have attended the Family Fun Day at Sentosa with my mother and we had a very enjoyable time.  The event was held at the beach and had many attractions such as sporting competititions, bouncyhouses and  photobooths,which I always tried to avoid, taking photographs takes time. I enjoyed the sporting competitions the most as I often managed to win them , mostly because I am short and can pass off as a child to join the children's catergory and win easily. However, even if the event was not taking place I would have still enjoyed a day at the beach, building sandcastles and climbing rocks.

I would disagree as I spend a lot of time with my mother . Just last weekend we spent the afternoon playng board games, I won most of them. Furthermore, we watch television programmes together regularly and have our meals together. I enjoy the time we spend together.
