The Issue Of Integrity
It seems that many people are scamming nowadays. It had clearly shown that millions of people have submitted petitions.(Which was most likely wrong) Most likely, computer experts have duplicated their support form. As such, address and phone number in the support form must be filled. This will ensure that the number of supporters are true. It is kind of the people to support NKF like this, but they should have integrity. Integrity is one of the most important values in life. Therefore, we should always have integrity and be honest.
If I Were A Member Of SPCA
Speech: Dear members of SPCA, today I would like to talk to you all about whaling in Japan. Whales are very kind mammals.(They're not fish) They are very gentle too. You can even swim with trained whales and ride on their backs. But what has humans done to repay them? Whip them? Jeer at them? We're from SPCA, and we're supposed to save lives. Unfortunately, many whales are killed every year for their meat and skin. The outcome will be unthinkable if whales are extinct. Plankton will fill the oceans, shrimps will be multiplying, and much much more. We should raise the awareness of people around the world. It may not be effective but try your best!
Thank you for your kind attention.

Fishing Of Tuna
The tuna population is almost going to be endangered. Fish farms have tried to breed the particularly popular blue finned-tuna. The blue-finned tuna is commonly ate as sashimi. It complements well with wasabi. I hope that fish farms will be successful and will be able to breed many tunas. Hopefully, I can still enjoy sashimi at the age of 70.
Computer Games
I think that game programmers are getting more and more intelligent. They are making games more addictive with remarkable graphics and interesting game content. Some computer games contain much violence, and may not be suitable for children. As such, more computer programmers are "inserting" political issues and wise choices in the game content. This will allow gamers to not only enjoy their game, but also make realistic decisions. I feel that this ongoing project is a great idea, and the programmers should keep it up.

From The Perspective Of Lila
Dear Diary, today was a cool and crisp morning but a sweltering afternoon. I went out to the beach so early in the morning that no one was there. I carried a small basket filled with flowers I had plcuked from the gardenaround our house. There was a low tide then and I settled down and scattered the flowers to the sacred rock to pray for my family. It was later in the morning before more women came and offered flowers to the sacred rock. Sometimes, I feel that praying at the sacred rock was the best time of the day for her as it was the only perfect and peaceful one. After praying, it was time to start work. When I reached home,I saw Bela and Kamal brushing their teeth with twigs they had broken off the neem tree. I told them to get dressed or they will be late for school. They merely shrugged and said I was the one who was late. Sigh, I wish they would understand. I was supposed to make a fire before going to the beach. However, when I woke up in the morning, I felt that I had to flee to the beach as i could not face the dead ashes or the dirty cooking pots of the night before going to pray. If I had started work first, I might not cope and just faint. Hari came home soon after and provided milk for us to drink. He was very caring and always made sure that Mother and Father would always have enought to drink. I hate my father very much. He would always come home drunk and make Mother's room fill with drunkenness. Mother is still ill, I hope that she would recover soon. I was told by Mother to sweep, go to the market and cook. I then got up to start work.

My First Post And "PAPER"
Hello 1A4 and other bloggers! Welcome to my blog. Please advise me as I am new to blogging. If you have any comments or queries, feel free to tag on my Cbox! I love shooping and reading.I like fantasy books. My favourite book is "The Chronicles Of Narnia" written by C.S. Lewis. I'm not very good in art, but I'll try my best. Now, I'll be blogging about the literature book, "Little Ironies~Stories Of Singapore" by Catherine Lee. I will be blogging on the short story, "Paper". It is about a family dreaming about their dream house. They have not been earning much, so they invested in stocks. At first, they earned a lot of money and their dream was about to be fulfilled. Unfortunately, they had put such a big stake on a stock that when it fell, most of their money was gone. The moral of the story is: Luck is always not on your side. Also, it is fine to take risks, but not such a big gamble. In the end, one of the protagonists passed away and his mother hired someone to make a paper house for his funeral, exactly the way he described his dream house. The paper house was then placed on his grave, burning brilliantly, and in 3 minutes was a heap of ashes on the grave. The author, Catherine Lee, has written this story remarkably and I enjoyed it tremendously. If you have any comments, please leave me a tag. Thank you!!
