1.In 2009, charities are bracing themselves for the worst year, 2009. Corporate funding dip into
the last quarter of 2008. The red cross says they would be expecting the donation to fall by at least 20 percent in 2009.The Singapore Red Cross raised S$180,000 late February this year-2008.The Red Cross' annual operation costs up to about S$6Million, S$3.5 Million is coming from the government.
Opinions:
I think lesser people will donate money to the charities as the Singapore Kidney Foundation chairman Richard Yong was found laundering money.I would like to donate money to the charities if they are honest not laundering the money.
2.Singapore Flyer stopped spinning in the afternoon.It stopped for about 7Hours.7People were rescued out from the cabin.It has been the second time the flyer stopped spinning.The
first time was at July.143People were struck in the flyer.Some tourists were struck in the flyer and missed the flight and had to take the other flight.Some tourists or locals were
hungry and tired, some even pass out their waste in the cabin.On that day, there's a wedding
going on at the flyer and they said they are very lucky they did not went in the flyer and got
struck.
Opinions:
I think that I were very lucky not to be struck up there in the flyer and had go hungry for several hours and had to bear with the smelly smell of the waste in the cabin.I felt so lucky!
But if I were up there I would enjoy the nice view from the top of the flyer.But I would also said for a refund.

News and Opinions...
1.The number of litterbugs caught has rise since the last two years.Over the 1050 offenders, 60 percent of the offenders are young people ages of 20 to 30 years old.In 2006, only 122 offenders were issued with the CWOs.S$37Million of taxpayers' money is spent each year for cleaning services on the streets.
Opinions:
I think they should not litter as it will make the environment very dirty, and the government will have to waste millions of money to hire cleaners to clean up the roads and streets, therefore if the government needs more money to hire cleaners, renter fees for the shop will increase, the owner of the shop will increase the prices of the things they sell, it will affect all of us. We should always keep the environment clean and green.
2.The wife of Singapore National Kidney Foundation chairman,Richard Yong was sentenced
in court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to money washing in Hong Kong.66, Madam On's
case has been postponed to Friday as the Judge needs more time to look through the documents. Madam On had pleaded guilty for helping his husband transferring US S$2.6Million from their joint account.Madam On faces a maximum jail term of 10 years
and a fine.
Opinions:
I think we should earn money honestly not to wash money and not cheat people's hard earned money.I think that Madam On should have a longer jail term and have a heavy
fine for she had done something dishonest; laundering money of National Kidney Foundation.If I were one of the people who donated money to the NKF, I would not donate
to them anymore money.

1.Four were buried alive, while 2,000 were trapped in Kuala Lumpur Landslide.The tragedy comes five days short of the anniversary on 1993's landslide which killed 48 people in that same area where the landslide happened.Shaiful Khas, aged 20 was one oof the four people who died in the disaster.When Shaiful Khas was recovered from the rubble, he was holding on to a ringing cellphone.14 Bungalows were crushed by the landslide.
Opinions:
It was a tradedy that the landslide happened, and it happened at 4 a.m in the morning when most of the people /residents are asleep.Boulders blocked every access road near the top of Bukit Antarabangsa.The rescue workers had to push the boulders off the access road and had to cut bushes and use ropes to help residents walk to safety.Some people had to cross over a small tiny bridge over a hude monsoon drain to reach the main road.I think that deforestation over undevelop area and the recent rain may cause landslide.
2.SMRT Bus drives off with four years old girl's leg trapped in the door.The bus driver accidentally shut the door on the girl's left leg and drove off.The driver was unaware of the situation, and the bus continued to move on, until until her grandmother banged on the door to get his attention.The girl's grandmother,56 years old suffered from abrasions on her knees as she held on to his grand daughther, preventing her grand daughter from dragging along the road.
After a metre or so, the bus driver stopped the bus, but did not offered any help.
Opinions:
The bus driver was unaware of the situation, and when he is aware of it, he did not offered any help or to send them to the hospital.That shows that he is not responsible and is a irresponsible person.But the bus driver claims that he offered them help and ask them if they want to go to the hospital but was turned down.The girl's grandmother said that the bus driver is telling a different story, and did not even mentioned the word 'Ambulance'.The girl's mother,Madam Tan
Loo Peng said,"We are not looking for compensation as we can always pay the medical fees ourselves.We are angry over the fact that the bus driver was very irresponsible!"The bus driver was fired.

News And Opinions...
1.Anti government protests are still protesting in Bangkok's airport.There are more than 10,000 people stranded in Bangkok and can't take the flight back to their own countries as the airport is closed,the government has no choice but to send small vans to the city to bring the stranded tourists back to their country or send them to the another airport to take the other country's airport.
Opinions:
I think that we should not go to Bangkok as it's a very dangerous place.There are a lot of protestersprotesting in the Bangkok's airport, if we were unlucky we might get hurt or burnt,and if we were there, we would be stranded at Bangkok and had to wait for hours,queuing up for your turn to sit on the small van to go back to your own country.
2.Mumbai Terrorism attack.Mumbai 's two hotel has been attacked by terrorist.Both of the
hotel's attackers used bombs and machine guns.There are more than one hundred people died in the hotel.Ms Lo Hwei Yen,a lawyer lived in one of the hotel 17th floor.She was the first Singaporean to be shot died in the hotel and was being held hostage by the terrorists, the terrorist said that they will not kill women but to hold them hostage, but they break their promise when more policemen came to the hotel and surround them.The terrorists started shooting on the people who was held hostage(Most of the people held hostage were women).
Unfortunately,the terrorist shot just right throught Ms Lo Hwei Yen's head and fractured her skull.She was found died on the 10th floor.Luckily, some Singaporeans escaped from the hotel and arrived at the Singapore's airport safe and sound.
Option:
Mumbai(India)'s terrorist attack made many people afraid to go to Mumbai(India) for a holiday.
Ms Lo Hwei Yen's husband said that the last week when he and Ms Lo Hwei Yen was together was the best week of his life, the last phone call he received from Ms Lo Hwei Yen was that she was kept hostage.And he said she was a brave Singaporean.One of the Singaporean who survived and was now in Singapore just ran out of his room with his laptop on his hands and he ran as fast as his legs would carry him.The Singaporean surviver said that when each bomb goes off the building will shake.

Pickpocket (Compo) Revision 7
"Ring!Ring!"The alarm clock rang.I groped around trying to find my spectacles to have a look on the calender."YES! There's an huge electronic and I.T. exhibition !" I exclaimed as the excitement
rolled over me in waves.I sprang to the kitchen to have a quick breakfast-I gulped down a bowl of
cereal and started to get change.
After getting changed up for the 'Huge Electronic and I.T. exhibition',I set off with high spirits. When I was walking , my way to the 'Huge Electronic and I.T. exhibition' I hummed my favourite tune.
When I arrived at the Huge Electronic and I.T. exhibition, the exhibition was crammed with hordes of shoppers.The shoppers were bustling among the racks and shelves, examining item after item and comparing prices.The place was packed with bargain hunters thronged the
exhibition hall.
I scanned around the Huge Electronic and I.T. exhibition for the electronic side.'To go to the electronic side...Please turn Left...'"Excuse me! Sorry! Excuse me! Oops! Sorry!"I muttered
as I jostled my way through the crowd."There will be a fifty percent discount only for this one hour.Shoppers flocked to the electronic corner upon hearing news that there's a fifty percent discount at the electronic corner.I quickened my pace to outrun the other shoppers.
Out of the corner of my eyes,I saw somebody in a black shirt and pants behaving suspiciously-in a weird manner.Curiosity started boiling in me.I decided to have a closer look at him.Realisation hit me like a twenty pound sledgehammer as the man in black grabbed an item off the shelf and placed it in it's pocket.My jaws dropped.I froze.
After I regained my consciousness,I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and reported to the
security guard.Suddenly, the alarm set off!"It should be the theft!" I told the security guard.
We dash to the entrance of the exhibition as fast as we would.
Without any much delay we arrived at the entrance of the exhibition, we managed to pinned down the pickpocket with the help of some passer-by.One of the passer-by called the police hot-line and not long after the pickpocket has been arrested and was sent to jail for four years.
Some passer-by and I were rewarded the medal for being thoughtful and helping the police
to pin down the suspect.
After the unfortunate accident,we continued to shop for items.

Trick (Compo) Revision6
"Ring!!"The alarm clock rang."Ah.h..h.."I yawned as I stretched my hands about.I rolled my body to the other side of the bed and 'off' the ringing sound of the alarm clock."What 6.30am?! Saturday?!"I stammered as I hugged my pillow, trying to fall back into my dreamland.
I was unable to sleep as the ringing of the alarm clock, keeps repeating itself in my mind.Ring!Ring!I shuffled my way to the kitchen to drink a cup of water.When I was walking back to my bedroom, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a shadow cast over me.I twisted my body.There was bearing a soul.I laughed at myself "Ha ha.What was I thinking..."I continued to walk to my bedroom,when, suddenly, my notorious brother,Tom sprang out from his bedroom.He took out a straw from his pocket and started shooting paper ball at me."Ha!Ha!Come and get me!"Tom said mockingly.
My face turned red with anger.I turned around and glared at him with bulging eyes.Tom shook
his fists and bared his teeth in an ugly snarl.Tom rushed over and gave me a forceful kick. "Ouch!"I screeched.Seething with rage, I rained torrents of abuse on Tom.Tom cried as his tears
rolled down his cheeks.Tom stormed off and slammed the door with a loud bang."And there's how you do it!"I chuckled to myself.
Tom buried his face with his hands.Wiping away tears from his face, an idea suddenly struck his head-a plot.After hours of planning in his room.He opened the door 'creak..' the slowly opened.
Tom dash to the kitchen to have a quick bite on his lunch, and started putting the things he need
around the house.Having placed the items, Tom had a surprise for me and came to knock on my door."Knock!Knock!"I flung the door open "BANG!"Tom gave me the puppy dog's eyes which is
kind of cute which attracts me.Tom said "I felt sorry about just now and I have a surprise for you! Come!" I erupted into cheers.
When I opened the door."Ahh!!!Get it out me?!Pop-corns?!Disgusting!"I barked.I decided not to fight back and I dash back to my toilet and grabbed all the 'pop-corns' off my hair.I spent three
whole days plucking the 'pop-corns' off my hair.
"What a Trick!"I murmured to myself.

A Car Chase (Compo) Revision5
"Hey John! Catch !"I yelled as I threw the ball towards him.Suddenly,wails of siren started in the
distance.As the siren got louder and louder, we tossed our balls aside and ran towards the school
fence.We were jostling each other for a better view.
"Come back here!"A frantic Miss Tan, our 'PE' teacher snapped as she trailed behind us.We clung
onto the school fence.Out of a sudden, a motorcycle skidded past the road."Whizzed!"I clasped my hands on my ears.The man sitting behind the driver of the motorcycle was holding on to a black
briefcase tightly.A police car whizzed past.
Out of the blue, the black briefcase which the man was holding, slipped off his hands and landed on the ground.The motorcycle turned a 'U' turn and the man which is seated at the back out of motorcycle leaped out of the motorcycle and grabbed the briefcase but unfortunately, when the man which is seated at the back of the motorcycle had a cut on his legs, and soon was being arrested by the police.The black briefcase had been brought back to the police station for
checking.The other man seated at the front had been arrested too.
Not long after, our discipline master came stomping into the field and called all of ours to return to our own classes.We paced to our class.I heaved a sigh of relief,"Luckily, the robbers were caught by the police."After a couple of days, the news had been reported by the newscasters and were said to be jailed for five to seven years or so, to be caned sevens stroke.
