Term 3 Week 4

Sec 3E EL Straits Times Blogging WEEK 4

1) Pg 4: Her world’s a stage
Reflection Questions:

Do you consider yourself an artistic person?
What are your opinions of the theatre scene in Singapore?


Maybe? :D
I do know how to draw simple pictures.
Especially copying the drawings of what someone has drawn.
And it look quite similar too! :D
But this doesn't make myself as an artistic person.
To me, an artistic person is someone who can draw fascinating pictures and from the picture, you will probably get to know what the artist is trying to express his feelings.
Mostly, i think that an artistic person is someone who can draw sceneries and people well. :O
------------------------------------------------------
For my opinions of the theatre scene in Singapore..
Actually, i don't usually get to have the time to buy a ticket and sit down there in the theatre to watch a scene, performance or a play there.
But, i can only say that the people performing on the stage had actually put in a lot of time and effort in their performance. (:
That is what most of the people said that, the performance are worthy to be watched.


2) Pg 10: Drink-and-Eat MRT Riders on the rise
Reflection Question:

How do you feel about MRT commuters eating and drinking blatantly on the train?

I felt that the MRT commuters who eat and drink blatantly on the train is a very irresponsible act. ("\(o.o)/")
Can't they see the signs on the train which shows no drinking and eating ? ._."
Or do they don't even bother to see the signs, thinking that it's a "monkey see monkey do thing"?
For example, they saw someone eating. They will also follow what they are doing as they think that it is alright and everyone is also doing so.
Without thinking of the other people's feelings/what others will think.


Article: “All in a day’s work for men in blue.” – ‘HOME’ Section (Pg B4)

Question 1:
What are some reasons stated in the article why some members of the public call the police for?

-

Question 2:
(a) Do you see the job of a policeman as something easy or tough? Why?
(b) Would you consider becoming a policeman or policewoman in future? Why yes or why not?


(a) Based on contextual knowledge as i don't have the newspaper article, i think that the job of a policeman is tough. The reason is, things like accidents or robbers, thefts, are hard to predict when it will take place. And the police have to always be prepared if something like this would happen. Therefore, i think that a job as a policeman is something that is tough.

(b)Maybe not. Though being under the police force need not have to be experienced as people can go through trainings, but i still find it tough to be a policewoman. Maybe one day, your life might be lost because of a serious crime case. And it is not really easy to be qualified to be a policewoman. They must always be alerted. And when there is a call on a crime case, even though the the job for the day has ended, they will still have to put down the things that they are doing and rush up to the crime scene. Therefore, i might not consider of becoming a policewoman in future.
