conversation NINEE

The subject I enjoy in school is Biology. This is because biology is a subject which is close to every single one of us. We syudy about plants, animals and even microorganisms. Through biology lessons, I am able to learn more about things around me, such as how plants respire, how the does the heart function in order to keep us alive, as well as how an amoeba is able to survive despite being a single celled organism. To me, all these are interesting to learn about.

This picture depicts the scene of a Biology laboratory. There are four students crowding aroung a table and performing an experiment. They are handling agar plates. One of them is holding an agar plate and striking it with a metal object. I think the girl is doing the striking, to seperate huge colonies of microorganisms into single colonies fof future experiments. Clad in white laboratory clothes and elastic gloves, the students seemed engrossed in their experiment. I think the white laboratory clothes are to prevent their clothes from getting dirty. The guy on the left hand side is leaning his weight on the table. Staring hard at what the girl with the agar plate is doing, I think he is watching the girl, awaiting to correct her mistakes. Perhaps they have a group assesment task, requiring every group member to asses the performance of one another. This group of students are more likely to be in polytechnics or junior colleges as we do not wear white laboratory clothes when performing an experiment when I was in primary and secondary school. In conclusion, I think the students are enjoying the experiment with the smiles on their faces. Perhaps these students will have to wait for several days before they can clearly observe the appearance of single colonies of microorganisms and conduct experiments on them.

1 Tell me about the house or department where you live.

This picture depicts a scene of a hawker centre. There are many people working together, cleaning up the tables, chairs and floor. There are also curious passers-by watching the people cleaning up the place. I can tell that it is a hawker centre as a HDB flat can be clearly seen at the background and hawker centres are normally situated near housing estates. Perhaps it is weekend now and all the people cleanig up are the food sellers of the hawker centre and have agreed upon one another to do cleaning up that particular day to ensure the hygiene of the place. There are many curious people staring at what the people are doing. I think they are residents nearby and wanted to go there to have some food just to find out that all the stalls are closed. Some may also be curious passers-by to see what the people there are doing. At the right hand side of the picture is a lady with short hair, a watch and a tank top. She is holding a water pipe and spraying water on the areas needed to be cleaned. I think using the water pipe is a good idea as it is a fast and efficient method instead of carrying heavy pails of water. She is also wearing a pair of boots to keep her feet dry. In conclusion, cleaning the hawker centre is good as the cleanliness and hygiene of the place will actually attract more customers and will be beneficial for the food sellers as well as the people eating there. This is because people will normally avoid purchasing and consuming food in a dirty surrounding. Thus, I think such cleanings should be done regularly to maintain the cleanliness of the place.

picture discussion FIVE

This picture depicts a scene of the physics laboratory. There is a group of student doing their science practical at the foreground. The group of people consists of four students and a teacher. The students appears to be jotting down notes on their exercise books. I can see that they are students because they are all clad in similar uniforms. In the middle of the picture, a pulley system is hung on the retort stand to show the students how does a pulley work. On the left hand side of the picture is a bespectacled teacher with curly hair, demonstrating how the pulley works. She appears to be explaining to them what happens when the rope is pulled. The boy on the right hand side appears to be very interested in the set up and is craning his neck forward to take a closer look at the set up. Holding a mechanical pencil, the bespectacled girl beside the teacher is staring hard at the setup. Perhaps she does not really understand what the teacher is talking about and is going to ask her later after the lesson. I think the girl might be afraid to disrupt the teacher's lesson and thus is holding back her doubts. In my opinion, learning through practical lessons is a very useful way as students get to do hands on work instead of staring at the teacher in classrooms telling them facts. This way students can absorb faster and understand theories through the practicals they had gone through.

Despite the fact that he wanted to forget his father, he was angry when he heard someone besmirching his father's name. He let out a stream of invective, countering others' vitriolic criticisms. "Hey you son of a bitch, didn't you say you wanted to forget your father?" yelled a voice from behind. He wanted to respond, but his voice faltered as he tried to speak. Bereft of hope that he was never going to leave this situation, he knelt down and started crying...

It was the first time Jimmy felt he could not catch up with the new vogue. His dad is gone, his house is gone, but the debts were still there. He was a boy he evinces great intelligence, he could produce cogent reasons for anything and everything, but he can no longer attend school. His friends last time cast ,hostile glances on him, taking immediate aversion the moment they saw him in normal tee shirt and jeans..

2 Some people say that children should take part in more outdoor activities. What do you think?

This picture depicts a scene of a group of people in the midst of a sand castle competition. A group of eight people are gathered at the foreground, piling sand into a heap. I can see that it is a competition because there is another group of people behind also gathering together and building a sand castle. In the background, there are leafy trees and the ground which they are standing on is sand.There is also one person buring the other in the sand on the top right hand corner. This place may most probably be a beach as they are a few people suntanning and enjoying themselves.

2 What is your view on where, and how, elderly people should live?

Her husband's death left her vulnerable and depressed and Jimmy had made sveral entreaties to God, hoping their lives would turn for the better. He used to be a bigot, intolerating anyone who thinks that his father was mean. It was a sudden intense moment when he abhorred his father to leave them. Grabbing the photo frame with his family photo in it. He slammed it on the floor contemptously.

Unwilling to enunciate his living conditions to his predagogue, Jimmy remained very silent on his last day of school. His heterogeneous clique of friends were puzzled when the usually talkative him did not utter a single word. He hung his head low when he left school. However when he reached home, a more catastrophic sight stunned him. His mother lay there, still on the floor, motionless. He can vividly rememver it has been approximately a decade since her mother last fainted, but he did not know what to do..

He was in a terrible plight, losing all his wealth. HE never knew his father had owed so much debts. Feeling like a deluded fool, he juxtaposed his two different living conditions: the huge mansion and a small house. Adding on was his mother's poor health that incapicitated her from working all her life. Unable to cope with his school fees, Jimmy had no choice but to drop out from school..

Growing up in an atmosphere of opulence, Jimmy led a carefree life. Lush carpets lay the room of his and obsequious servants catered to his every desire. His apparels were branded goods of limited editions and materialism was empowering him mind until the death of his father, which left many debts that just known to both him and his mother. It was an overnight situation and in a complete metamorphosis, the life he used to lead became the past..

Music has a puissant effect on me as it will affect my mood depending on where I was and what I was listening to. Maudlin songs would usually bring about thoughts and it gives a very calming effect. For those who are bad tempered and always on the verge of exploding could try listening to sedimental songs if they get annoyed at times. In a touching movie when a hero dies, lugubrious music could cause one to break down in tears. Disparate songs always give people a different feeling at all times. One might even feel his vicissitudes being forgotten when one indulge in a light-hearted, joyous song.

Staring at the wedding photo hung on the wall, a feeling of nostalgia came over her. It all started out very well, with the normal husband and wife romance, until he got addicted to gambling. He struck jackpot once, they had a sumptous feast, he underwrited the cost of an overseas holiday, he spent the money on everything. Afflicted with megalomania, he tried again. The trigger of the jackpot, he pulled repeatedly. And soon, profigate husband spent all his salary on gambling and alcohol.

He was a wealthy banker --- urbane and sophisticated --- and he was Jeanie's next target. Myraid of faces were seen walking on the streets of the place she was supposed to strike. Scanning from face to face, it seemed like an abortive attempt to search for the man. Just then two men walked past her, talking," I seriously do not think that Jim should not receive the most pay in the bank. He is like a itinerant man who travels when he pleases, he just went on cruise without informing anyone... ..." Upon hearing so, Jeanie dragged her feet home and was no longer romping. Her attempt has failed..

Concocting many stories about how sick her mother was and how much she needed the money, Jeanie has gotten away with mant theft casesshe had perpetrated. She had done it many times, so many times that she knew how to react in the manifold situations. Also, several gullible victims of hers actually sympathise with her and gave her some money. This time, she was up to another hoax, and this time, she wanted more money...

Taking a cursory glance at the surroundings, the babysitter's glance laid on the refrigerator. As the gregarious couple went to introduce themselves and make friends at the home-thrown party with a coterie of people who met at a club. The girl made a bee line for the refrigerator. Cooling air swept past her as the door opened.
The altruistic couple saw her and went over with a cup of cocktail and some snacks,"How about some snacks?" The girl gave a shy smile.

She led a nomadic existence, drifting from place to place, dragging the white dress on the streets. The incident earlier on had precluded her from thinking through her senses. Persevering on did not seem to work and everything felt numb. She recalled the fierce quarrel she had a few weeks back. He had hurled vile epithets at her. Tears trickled down slowly, dripping off at the ends of her face.

oops.late late late late post. haha

The bride ran out of the hall, feeling as though she had consumed a lethal dose of poison. She felt hopeless. The scenario that has just happened just does not conform to the usual stereotype of a blissful marriage.
Just then, it started raining. The rain sent everyone scurrying for shelter, but the lady just continued walking, and walking. She had no idea where to go, and where she was heading, but she just walked. "HEY WOMAN, GET OUT OF MY WAY!" a stentorian tone sounded, and the lady realised, she was in the middle of the road. The comments did not nettle her, her mind was blank and it felt as though nothing mattered anymore.

A mood of shock permeated the whole hall and it was obvious the bride was repressing the urge to cry, wiping away the tears that rolled down. She casted an incredulous look at the man as she emmitted a loud cry. The drunk man, incontrovertible to be oblivious to what he had done, continued yelling and raving to his hands madly in the air. It came to the ultimate situation where, the lady herself announced the wedding being called off, in tears.

English skills are claimed by teachers to be the gist of studying english. It is essential in all english tests and assignments. But is it possible for someone to improve his/her english skills?
Improving our english skills starts from the basic, elementary part of english. It is possible for someone to improve his/her english skills, but it will be better one starts from young. When one is young, it is easier for the mindset of something to change. If determined to improve your own english skills, one should start early by reading the english newspapers, reading more library materials can help improve how one express his/her thoughts in proper english. Also, it would be of much help if one is in a space surrounded by people who speaks english frequently, it will help the child start "learning" from young.
However, most people tend to give up mid way due to the large amount of time needed, such as using your leisure time to look up for some library materials and also do large amounts of reading.
To sum up, improving one's english skills is possible, only if one persevere through, sacrificing his/her leisure time to do massive reading. As a saying goes, "practice makes perfect".

and i AM aware this is really really short. But i currently have no idea/inspirstion or whatsoever( is that a proper english word?) ^^

i have just finished my sushi but i am still hungry.
;dingyi

Just as everyone thought the groom was not entering, a drunk man in flamboyant clothes barged into the hall. At that moment, everything was silence until someone shouted: "It's the groom!" There was an instant diatribe against the drunk man. Alcohol had weakened his inhibitions, and he started blabbering and raving his hands in mid-air. The timorous bride quickly went forward and tried to pull him away when he suddenly hollered: "Go away, you bitch! Do you think i want to marry you? I don't even like you, or any others of that ilk!" The whole hall gasped while tears slowly welled up her eyes.

anyone finished all their homework?

It was a poignant moment. The wedding ceremony was supposed to have started an hour ago but the groom had not arrived yet. The bride had made fruitless attempts to contact him and the zealous guests were already starting to grumble. Even the phlegmatic mother-in-law was starting to figit as time slowly elapsed..

sorry mr kek for the very late journal. i couldn't get the codes right:D
