Library Blog - Library Week & World Book Day Photos

I feel that the Library Week and World Book Day is a great idea as it encourages students to read more books. It would be more convenient for students to borrow book as they might not have the time to borrow books in the library. Reading more books would definitely improve our English as we are able to learn new words and phrases.
The Microfiction Writing Competition and Scrabble Challenge can also help students to develop an interest in English. Through this events, we can enjoy ourselves and improve on our English at the same time. Thus, I feel that such events are very meaningful as it brings us many benefits. I hope that there would be more of such activities for us in the future.

Library Blog - WRPL 2011 Spelling Bee Contest

I feel that the Spelling Bee Contest can bring many benefits to the students. It can help to improve our English vocabulary. Spelling Bee is challenging as most of the time, we are tested on words we never heard or seen before. Hence, it can improve our English vocabulary as through this, we are able to learn more new words. The Spelling Bee Contest can also build up our confidence as we had to speak up in front of so many people and from this event, we can also gain some experience as most of us did not take part in such events before.

I was glad to see that Hwa Chong students managed to achieve 2nd and 3rd place. They definitely put in a lot of effort as winning this competition is not easy as they had to compete with 7 other schools.

I feel that your storyline is quite interesting and I really like your ending. I also like that you had given examples for expensive cars. However, there are some adjectives and adverbs in this narrative. Examples of adjectives used were " huge" in paragraph 1, line 2, " expensive" in paragraph 3, line 2 and " main" in paragraph 4, line 5. Examples of adverbs used were " peacefully" and " calmly" in paragraph 3, line 7. You could have used other words to replace the adjective like for "main objective" you could have used " aim".

I like your poem. In the first stanza, you did a good job describing the surroundings of the Nazi concentration camp. In the second stanza, you showed the sufferings of the people in the camp. They were locked in cages and are not able to find any source of food or water. In the third stanza, you showed how long they had to suffer and the pain they had to go through. They had to feed on the dead just to survive. In the last stanza, you made used of repetition which is "One by one" to emphasize that the Nazi were very cruel and the people in the camp had suffered a lot and they eventually died one by one. I also like your last two line as it makes people wonder what would happen to him.

I like your poem. You made use of many repetition to emphasize on your points. Examples are "The plains turned red, The rivers turned red, The skies turned red, Even our face turned red." and " We fought and fought, We fell and fell." I like how you describe the first paragraph. It makes me visualise how much destruction war had created like the lost of many lives. War is very cruel as many blood were shed. I also like your last paragraph. I can sense fear and lost of hope in the soldiers heart. They might had felt worried as they do not know what would happen to them in the future.

I like your poem very much! You had written your poem in a special way. You made use of many poetic devices in your poem. You made use of a lot of repetition like “Stop it please”, it repeated for 8 times. It is to emphasize that you want it to stop very much. You also made use of assonance like “fight” and “fright”, “shaking” and “breaking”, “live” and “give”. It is used to make the poem flow better. Maybe you could add some words relating to war so that people would know that this is a war poem.

I agree with the points you had stated. The Prince of Morocco and the Prince of Arragon had picked the caskets based on the appearance while Bassanio did not judge the caskets by their appearance. You had also quoted examples from the text to support your stand.
