Letter of complaint

36 Quality Road
Singapore 618806

21th April 2010

Mrs Mary Tan
Principal
Chong Boon Secondary School]

Dear Mrs Tan
INCIDENTS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY

My friend and I have been going to the school library to do our self-study but we are unhappy about a few incidents that happen recently. I am writing this letter to update you about the incidents that had happen.

There is a group of student in the library has been talking very loudly making the student cannot force on their reading or self-study. When the librarians went forward to them and ask them to lower their volume, the group of student scolded vulgarity at her as if they were picking for a fight. I think something should be done about these group of student.

Some student even break the rule. They sneak in food into the library. Some even spilled their sweet drink onto the table making them wet and sticky. Ants will also be attracted to the table as the drink is sweet. I hope the librarian will stop student to sneak in food like making them to patrol around the library.

A boy even wore his P.E attire that is soak with his perspiration. This make us unable to stay force. With the perspiration, there will be an odour. I hope that being soaked with perspiration is banned from entering the library.

A group of student has been playing games on computers for a very long time. This is unfair for other student who need the computer to do their homework or project. I hope librarian will stop anyone playing games on the computer.

I think that a library should be a very peaceful and quiet place which is a suitable place for self-study. The library also did not use to be like this.

Your sincerely,
Ng Zhi Sheng

We were to write a essay of what our anime will be and we fail to win.(The winner will go to USA to visit the Dreamworks Animation SKG which worth more than $15,000)

P.E.E.L-Guava

Eating Guava is good for us. Guava help to controll many thing like blood pressure. The apple guava can be juiced and drink while the green apple guava can be eaten raw which is sweet to me. Guava is a healthy chouce of fruit to choose and eat.

Sport Fiesta

This year sport fiesta is the same as last year. When I go for sport fiesta, I thought that I do not need to run but because lack of people I had to run. I run the both 4x100m lower sec boy and 4x400m lower sec boy. For the 4x100m, because that I did not tie my shoes lace, After I run about 50-60m, one of my shoe dropped off and when i run finish, my whole sock wad red. While I am running for the 4x400m lower sec boy, I do not feel like running after running after runnning 200m as before I running, I drank my friend COKE but I still continued to running.

Cross Country

This year cross country was held at the MacRitcite Reseirvoir. It was totally different from the last year cross country as last year, it was held at NYP in the afternoon. This year is also the best cross country for me as I was on duty to take photo of the student. I was told to took photo at the starting and ending. The photo I took at the ending point was what the student face look like after they had run 4.8Km or 3.2KM. I also took a lot of photo and I think the best picture to me is the face of Chun Yu from 2E2. The face is very funny and nice. I think that the teacher will post that picture onto the school website. When all the student had finish runnning, I saw a monkey jumping onto a girl from our school and snatched the breadtalk's plastic bag with bread in it from the boy standing beside her. I wish that I was also on duty for the next year cross country too.

Reflective Journal Summary( post on the 23/3/10

After reading the all article, I have learned lots of new knowledge like before reading the article I never thought that shark is going to be endangered. For the first reflective journal, I learn what is the action took place in 2000 to prevent people from killing the shark, how Senator John Kerry introduce shark conservation to Senate and the project made up by the International Coral Reef Initative, regional, environmental and academic organization. For the second reflective journal, I learn that Qatar, China, Japan and Russia had been helped defeat after arguing with the United States, the European Union and other supporters. It also tells me the main reason why Qatar, China, Japan and Russia argued, for instant the Shark Fin Soup. For the third, which is the last reflective journal tell me the cost of a bowl of Shark Fin Soup and the price of the Shark Fin. By reading the article, I can also tell that shark will be extinct and we will regret one day if we do not do anything at all now as data show that the North Atlantic population of oceanic whitetops declined by an estimated value of 70% in the 1990s and scalloped hammerheads by the value of 83% in the North Atlantic since the 1980s. At the same time, by reading the first and the third journal, I can also tell that Shark play a very important role in the ecosystem.

Short Summary : Conservation groups see hope for shark proposals




Reflection : Before reading it, i just thought that shark only play a important role in the marine ecosystem but after reading, i realize that it is not important but shark has an very important role in maintaining a good ecosystem. After reading it, I just only know that a bowl of Shark Fin Soup cost a hundred dollar and it is also the world's most expensive food products as the Shark Fin Soup sold at the Asia Food at Expo only cost two dollar a bowl. Even though I know that the Shark Fin is a fake but I never thought it will be a hundred dollar a bowl. A piece of Shark Fin is also worth more than $1300 and I only knew it after reading it too. I also know that a recent date show that the North Atlantic population of oceanic whitetops declined by an estimated value of 70% in the 1990s and scalloped hammerheads by the value of 83% in the North Atlantic since the 1980s too.
