Recycling

Recycling is essential as many of the things we throw away can be reused. To help you with the reflection, I have listed some questions below:

1. What do you understand by 'recycling'?
2. Why is it necessary to recycle things?
3. What are the various ways in which things can be recycled?
4. Do you practise recycling?
5. If so, what do you recycle? How do you recycle the materials?
6. Do you think the school is doing enough in recycling?
7. What can the school do to help in the recycling process?
8. What message would you tell your friends and classmates about recycling?

Write your reflection soon. I am anxiously waiting to read your response.

The Singapore Flyer

Last Thursday, my family and I went on the Flyer for the first time. There were very few people, no queue at all. I "flew" for free while my family members managed to get a discount of 25%. Even with the discount, I had to pay about $60. I think the price was and still is too steep.

Furthermore, there were insufficient commentaries, just one or two lines when we were at the highest point and one or two more lines when we landed. Some people even missed these few lines. They could have some light background music. To me, it is not that high. I could see the F1 grand stand, the floating platform where National Day celebration was held, some tall buildings belonging to big banks, some hotels and others. My son could not locate our house even though we can see the Flyer from our house on a clear day every day. My younger son was so bored that after ten minutes, he started grumbling and lying on one of the two benches in the Flyer!

There is still much room for improvement. Well, to increase ridership, something must be done.
You may want to go for a ride when things are better. However, you may have to pay more.
I am very sorry. I cannot remember the charges. Find out yourself...
