Should Singlish be the official language in Singapore?

Singlish should not be an official language in Singapore. However, lots of people in Singapore, especially teenagers, are used to speaking Singlish.

The reason is firstly, Singlish is not understandable by people from other countries. Since English is encouraged to be spoken throughout the whole world, People from other countries might have problems communicating with the people in Singapore if Singlish were to become an official language in Singapore.

Secondly, Singlish is an impression of a bad English or also broken English. If we were to speak Singlish in public, People will think that we have not been studying our English properly and that will drop our image.

Thirdly, Singlish is not a good way to communicate among our friends because if we were to keep speaking Singlish, our English will become worse and that would be the reason why some students find it hard to pass their English.

If Singlish were to become an official language in Singapore, All Singaporeans would have a hard time communicating to each other. And people from other countries will look down on Singaporeans.

Are Singaporeans gracious and socially responsible?

Social responsibility is important to everyone. When we are out in the public, we must take care of our image. We must preserve our identity as a Singaporean. For example, especially during this H1N1 outbreak, those who are not feeling well should stay at home so that the disease would not be spread to other people. Still, there are some irresponsible people who do not wish to stay at home and go to the doctors even though the person is not feeling well. These are some the factors that shows not all Singaporeans are socially responsible.

Besides being socially responsible, we must also be gracious to people around us. For example, in a public transport, an elderly person had just got on to the bus and there are no empty seats. People who are fit and healthy should offer their seats to the elderly. However, there are some people who still do not want to do so, not offering seats to the elderly, pregnant lady and disabled ones. These are some of the examples on how Singaporeans can be ungracious

In conclusion, Singaporeans are gracious and socially responsible. However, there are some who still need to learn more on how to be gracious and socially responsible.

My target for the next two years

My target for the next two years is to get at least a B4 in every subject. Most importantly is English language and Maths.

I am very worried for my maths because I am not good in it. I am working very hard to pass my maths. My target for maths in the mid-year exams is to get a C5. By end of this year, I wish to get a B4.

As for the other subjects, I am not so worried because last year I had done quite well in my History and F&N. But this year, both history and F&N is quite tough but I will still put in more effort compared to last year.

For Physics and Chemistry, I have no problem with my Chemistry but I have some problems with my Physics.

Finally, I hope that I will not be demoted to the Normal Academic stream. So, I will start working hard now.
