－比较喜欢新加坡的璧山
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
我最熟悉的一个地方就是新加坡的牛车水。在我七岁时，我的父母搬到牛车水居住，因此我对牛车水这个地方非常熟悉。牛车水特别的地方是那些高楼大厦和天桥五颜六色的装饰品。这些装饰品会随着不同的节日更换。比如说中秋节的期间，天桥上的装饰品会更换成于中秋节有关的装饰品。牛车水也有很多不同的建筑物。有的是很老的建筑物，有的是新的摩天大楼。但是，牛车水著名的建筑物还是她的店屋。
在春节时，牛车水会变得更拥挤，更吵闹。 新加坡的华人会为了佳节气氛到牛车水买春节食物。为了要放鞭炮和烟花，牛车水的路年年会暂时关闭。既然我住在牛车水，我的一家人年年不需要为了看鞭炮而走很远。牛车水也有很多不同好吃的食物。虽然这些小贩中心没有冷气机，但是为了好食物，我的家人一直到小贩中心吃饭。牛车水有三个非常大的购物中心。如果我们要什么，到购物中心看一看后，一定会找到。牛车水也有很多巴士站。地铁站的入口只是需要走几分中的路就到了。
牛车水看起来是个好地方，但她也有（缺点）不好的地方。牛车水实在是肮脏。记得有一天早上，我要走到地铁站搭地铁去学校时，我看到一个很大的老鼠从我面前跑过。在晚上走路时也可已看到蟑螂爬过我的鞋子。牛车水也有很多乞丐，有些坐着要钱或卖纸巾，有的到处拾取纸箱。人们看到了这些乞丐后，只会不理他们。牛车水的肮张环境会把他们弄病，所以我认为他们需要有关当局的帮忙。这个地方一天到晚都很吵闹，很难在家里好好休息和睡觉。一个好奇的事是牛车水的施工要很长的时间才能完成。这造成了很多交通上的 不便。

a life-changing experience.
A few years ago, I had a life-changing experience. At that time, I was in a small clique which consists of three other boys whose names were John, Michael and Shawn. In the previous year, my parents dished out quite the money for my new handheld console, the 'Game Boy'. I would usually brag to my classmates about getting my new equipment. I slowly became intolerable and many of my friends started ignoring me. I had no problem with this as I felt that as long as I had my Game Boy, I did not need anything else. At that time, I was hooked on my favorite game and neglected my studies. Not before long, my grades started deproving.
A few month before a major exam, while everyone was busy revising, I could not stop playing my games. One day, my friends discussed about studying together.
"Hey Bryan, do you want to study together this afternoon?" John asked.
" I cannot, I'm too busy this afternoon. " I replied.
My friends all looked at me with a weird look. I guessed they knew I was going home to play my game console.
"Bryan, you have to stop playing your games. Our major exam is coming. " Shawn said.
At that time, I felt angry. I felt they had no right to tell me what to do. After school, instead of following them, I ran towards the nearby canal to let off steam.
At the lake, I sat on the grassy patch next to the running water, thinking about what Shawn said. After a while, I got frustrated. Then, I noticed a rock near the lake and immediately got up to kick it. Unfortunately, my leg slipped and I fell. My Game Boy in my bag fell out and dropped into the fast running water. I got up and chased after my game console. Afterwards, I managed to retrieve my game console, but it was dripping wet. It was there that I decided to stop playing my games and start revising for my exams.
After the major exam, my Game Boy console was finally dry and safe to turn on. It was the most satisfying period of time playing my games and I was glad that I dropped my game console into the water. I learnt to play and study at the appropriate time. It was a life-changing experience.

Victory
Victory. The word has a nice ring to it. I know for a fact that victory feels great, as we have all (Tense) now experienced it. Our plan worked to perfection and we were ready to proceed as planned. While Eric assembled the team, I cannot (Tense) help but remember how we managed to win.
Two weeks ago, Eric made a shocking discovery. He found out that the girls, our hated enemies (why?), are (Tense) able to tell the future. Eric videotaped the girls using the future telling device and showed us the evidence.
" Pick a colour! Okay, Red! Now pick a number! 4!"
The video played as we watched in silence, amazed by this technology. The future telling device was able to answer any question the girls asks (Tense) it. Without a doubt, we all knew that we had to acquire this device. We set up a 'research facility' on Eric's backyard to find out more about what we were dealing with.
"Kyle, what have you researched so far?" Eric asked.
"The mechanism is made out (Proposition) of paper. The outside of the mechanism is covered in colours while the inside is covered in numerals, which must open up some wormhole." Kyle promptly replied.
Eric gives (Tense/expression: Satisfaction gleamed on Eric's face and he said) a sign of satisfaction and says (Tense), "Good work."
After the first week, Eric announced that it was time to steal it.
He informed us that there will be a girl's slumber party in (Usage) the next week. When told that a boy cannot (Tense/expressions: the slumber party is out-of-bounds to boys) attend a girl's slumber party, he calmly replied that that was not an issue.
"It is simple spy skills my friends. We fake a teammate's illness and send him as the enemy."
Andre, in the crowd, asks "Who will go?"
The next day, Andre was ready. "Andrea" came to school dressed as a girl and pretended to be the new girl that just got transferred into our school. Amazingly, Kyle was able to fake a doctor's letter that was convincing enough (to prove that "Andrea" was indeed a girl). Our plan was going perfectly.
On the day of the slumber party, "Andrea" was able (Expression: managed) to retrieve the device. We all ran back to our research base to tell the future. "Alright gentlemen, give that device to me. I will be the one to ask the first question."(who said?)
"Why do you get to use it first? We all worked together to retrieve it!" The crowd asked. In a few seconds, the crowd started fighting about who would use it first and what questions should be asked.
Then, Stan jumps (Tense) out.
"Stop! Everyone! Can't you see what this device is doing to us? Andre told me something outside the house. He told me it was nothing but trouble. I think I see what he meant now. We risked everything to get it from the girls. When will they attack us to get it back? Or what if the government knows that we have such technology? I think Andre was right. We have to destroy it."
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
Our victory was now crumpled and torn, left alone on the cold ground.

“这真的是个忙碌的一天。我回家时，一定要好好地休息。”我自言自语地说道。
我打开我家铁门后，大声地喊道：“ 小明！ 你吃了午餐了吗？”我等了几秒，也没反应。
“小明？”
我找了整个房子也找不到小明。我觉得很奇怪，小明通常会在这个时候回家的。我拿出手机，打电话给爸妈。 我问了他们是否知道小明在哪里，但是他们也不知道。竟然已经要到爸妈的下班时间，我决定等他们回家才处理。洗澡后，我到我房间睡觉。
“小华！小华！ 醒醒！ 小明在那里？”
当我打开眼睛，我看到妈妈大力地摇醒我。我起床后，和爸爸妈妈想办法找弟弟。那时，我建议打电话给弟弟。
“我们已经试过了。他没听电话。” 爸爸无奈地说道。
“我们可以尝试打给他的朋友，但我只有小文的电话号码。。。”
爸爸从我手里拿走我的手机，打电话给小文。他在电话里跟小文说了几句话后，看起来很担心，说小文从放学后就没再看到小明。已经八点了，我们那时没有其他的办法，只能到路上找小明。
在路上， 我们问了很多人，像我们熟悉的鸡饭滩的老板娘，和西餐店的老板。当我们问人时，我们也打电话给小明，希望他能 听电话。 爸爸妈妈很担心小明，怕他遇到了坏人。在爸爸妈妈害怕小明真的出事，他们决定到警察局去。
在警察局里，妈妈激动地大声地哭叫，而爸爸则冷静地向警察报案。 那时，我的手机响了。
”是小明！ 小明打电话了！” 我兴奋地说道。
爸爸妈妈的头转向我，叫我快点听电话。
“喂？小华？ 我在家里。你们在那里？你问我去了那里？我到新开的购物中心看看。他们有新开的游戏中心！我在购物中心里很久因为游戏中心里的游戏机很好玩。”
我气到我挂了电话，没让小明完成他要说的话。我们向警察先生道歉后，回家准备教训弟弟一顿。

忙碌的一天
”终于可以休息了。“ 我说道。 我开了们，才放下我的书包。我看着手表，惊讶地说”什么？已经九点了？我真的没有时间了！” 我拿起毛巾，准备洗澡。当我在洗澡时，我想起今天发生的事。
今天放学时，我和小明将到他的家玩游戏机。我们跑到校门时，遇到了小华。 “小文！ 你今天不是因该去看牙科医生吗？” 小华说了这句话后，我才想起我今天有原本应该去看牙医。我告诉小明我改天才去他家之后，马上跑向牙医的方向。 不久，我抵达了学校的牙医。由于那里有很多人，所以我需要等很久才可以检查我的牙齿。
牙医检查我的牙齿后，已经是五点了。因为我需要补牙，所以我那时很后悔，平时没有保护我的牙齿。没想到我竟然花了两个小时在牙医。我走到地铁站，搭地铁回家。途中，我收到妈妈的电话。
“小文！为什么这么迟还没回家？帮我买一些杂货回家，我会传简讯给你告诉你要买的东西。”我最不喜欢到超级市场，因为我家和超级市场的距离很远，而且妈妈一定要我买很多东西，扛回家会很辛苦。
到了超级市场，我看着妈妈简讯里的杂货单。有牛奶，面包，米饭，菜，果汁和苹果。她还说一定要买苹果。我拿了些杂货，到柜台准备还钱。但是，我等了很久，因为排队的人实在是非常多。
后来，在我走回家的途中，苹果突然从纸袋低里的一个破洞掉了出来。苹果都滚动到路上，被经过的车辆压扁。我没办法，只好回到超级市场再买苹果。买了苹果后，我小心翼翼的包着苹果走回家去。
洗完澡后，我想着：“哎呀！不做功课了吧！去睡觉，明天才从小明那儿抄。”

文不对题! 请做改正为这星期的功课。
现在正是年终假期，我一如往常地坐在沙发上看电视。年终假期是我好好休息，看看平时无法观看的电视节目最好的机会。
“叮 咚！”门铃突然响起。
"小华！可以帮我开门吗？” 妈妈从厨房喊道。
我从沙发上不愿地走到门口开门。“小华！是我们！恭喜发财！” 原来是我的舅舅和他的夫妻。他们也带了我的表弟，小明。
“妈！舅舅和舅母来拜年了！” 我向厨房喊。 我用钥匙开门，请他们进去。
当他们正坐在沙发时，妈妈从厨房走出来，捧着起杯水。
“小弟！已经三年没来看我们了！你们到底去了那里？” 妈妈问道。
我们听了舅舅后，才知道他门一家人到澳洲去。因为舅舅的生意在澳洲倒闭了，所以没办法，回到新加坡。
妈妈和舅舅谈了生意的事后，才谈到红包的事。因为我们不再庆祝春节，我们没有红包可以给他们。
舅舅听到了，问妈妈不庆祝的原因。我们一家人觉得庆祝春节没有意思，浪费时间和金钱。舅舅听到了，大吃一惊，决定要说出春节的好点。
“庆祝春节是个很重要的华文传统。春节的团圆饭可以帮我们加强家庭纽带。” 舅舅说。
三个小时后，当舅舅终于完成讲春节的重要性，我们已经被他深信了。妈妈然后从她的钱包拿出十块，放进一个红包里。妈妈送给小明红包，也感谢舅舅。舅舅也拿出一个红包送给我。
当妈妈打开红包时，惊讶地说：“诶？里面只有两块？”

作文/叙述文三项要点 （你必须注意的一些 写作习惯）
作文/叙述文三项要点 （你必须注意的一些 写作习惯）
1． 一般句子应包括以下重点：时间 （when）， 地点 (where)，人物 (who)， 事物 /事情经过(what); 句子描叙的情形发生的原因（why）可以在同一个句子，或在下一个句子。
2． 中文句子的结构千变万化。在一般的作文里， 鲜少看到作者在一个段落里连续使用一样的句子结构。以比较初学者的角度来说，除了句子流畅，连续几个句子结构都一样的情形因该减少。句子结构若可以多样化为最好不过， 但初学者可以尽量让自己的句子结构至少每两句变化一次。
3． 作文是由几个段落合成。每个段落往往会描叙一件文章的重点。重点一般需要更详细的描写与叙述， 而这些进一步的描写应该至少有二到三项， 三项为最佳。一篇文章的重点也无需过多，一般为三项便已足够。（Rule of 3）
例子
试描写你最近去的一趟旅行。（250 – 350 字之间）
最后一次去旅行已是一年前到中国北京和上海的事了。两个星期前终于在忙碌了大半年后有了一次放长假的机会。我告诉自己这次无论如何一定要出国旅行。哪怕是单独旅行，我也不会错过这个千载难逢的机会。就这么巧，身在中国公干的小豪正好也在这段期间放假，我们也就这样潇洒地决定一同到澳门香港来个五天游。
小豪是我从中学到现在最好的朋友。说来也许就是因为这个关系， 我们对彼此的旅游习惯和兴趣有相当的了解，因此在我们各自离家赴港澳之前， 都没有做多余的旅游景点搜寻， 打算以比较随性的方式享受这次的旅行。 在离开新加坡之前，家人都频频提醒港澳目前的天气寒冷， 需要多带寒衣，但我都当作耳边风。一到澳门机场， 由于寒衣都在托运行李，身上又没有多穿衣服，牙齿直打颤， 难受极了！心想不听老人言， 真是吃亏在眼前！

[已批改]作文 1：我的正确选择
我这一生没有面对过这么难的抉择。很久以一年前，我需要在年终假期选择要去拜访问我的祖母，还是或和我的朋友们到中国进行浸濡活动。这俩个选择都很难选决定，因为我只可以选择一个日期都很相近。
去年小六考结束后，学校决定让我们毕业班组组团到中国进行浸濡活动。当时，我的一家人决定要到日本访问我的祖母。浸濡活动和拜访的日期相近，我因此所以不能等到参加浸濡活动过后才拜访我的祖母。浸濡活动的小册子说我们可以到香港迪士尼乐园，一个地方我一直和我的父母说我要到一直都想要去的地方。我和朋友一定会玩得很开心，也可以学到很多东西。
如果我到我的祖母的家，我可以看到我的表弟和祖母 。我每年只能看到他们一年一次。每一次我到日本，我和表弟都会玩得很开心。因为由于我左右为难（或者“犹豫不决”），我便问了妈妈的意见。 妈妈这么地说道：“祖母很老了，如果现在不去拜访她，以后可能再也不能了。如果你一直真的很想要到迪士尼乐园玩，我们还是可以到日本的迪士尼乐园。表弟和祖母也可以一起去！”
最后，我选择要去拜访问祖母。我认为我做了正确的选择，因为迪士尼乐园随时都可以去，可是一年只见面一次的祖母如果今年没有看见我，一定会很失望。更巧的是，当朋友们回来时，竟向我抱怨说要去迪士尼乐园的那天下了大雨，所以他们最终不能去不了迪士尼乐园， 只好等到下次去香港时才去了。

我的日记5 - 我最近刚看的一部戏
我最近刚看的一部戏
我最近刚看的一部戏是名叫《《Liar Game 2 Finale》》 的日本制作。
这部戏是关于一位名叫”Kanzaki Nao“ 的女子。 一天，她收到了一个邀请，让她玩叫”Liar Game“的游戏。由于她天真与无知，她便向一个叫”Shinchi Akiyama“的专业骗子求助。这个游戏的赢家可以获得很多的奖金，而输家却会负债累累。在这部戏里，Kanzaki Nao 一直被其他的参赛者骗。但是，Shinchi Akiyama 一直会帮她想办法赢回钱。这次，他们玩一个叫”Garden of Eden“的游戏。 参赛者需要选择一个金苹果，银苹果或红苹果。如果全部的参赛者选择红平果，大家都会获得一百万日币。但是，如果有人选择金或银苹果，选择红苹果的人就会各输一百万日币。在这种情形下，选择金和银苹果的人会互相比较，看选哪一个颜色的人比较多，哪一方便会各赢两百万日币。最后，Kanzaki Nao 和 Shinchi Akiyama 都赢了不少钱。因为他们善良的性格，他们最后把赢的钱都还给负债者。

Posting 5: Write about a typical day at home during this holiday period.
[Because my typical day at home during this holiday period is extremely boring and I am only able to give one or two sentences, I changed the topic to my typical Saturday]
Every Saturday, I would wake up to prepare for my Ballet Wushu lessons. I would pack my leotard,long pants, ballet shoes, my orange Wu Shu shirt, long Wu Shu pants and Wu Shu belt. I would also bring along my Wu Shu sword. After packing, Iwillwould take the bus service number 961 to Bukit Merah for my Ballet lesson.
After the Ballet lesson, I would walk to Redhill MRT Station to take the MRT to Bishan for my Wu Shu lesson. Before my Wu Shu lesson, I would eat my dinner, which would normally be a nice plate of chicken rice with soup.
One timeThere was one interesting incident where the sword I carried was mistaken for a dangerous weapon by the security. Luckily, they found out (how did they find out?) that it was a misunderstanding.
At Wu Shu, the coach would train us till our legsshiver tremble due to fatigue. Although my leg would be extremely sore and painful the next day, I still choose to attend my Wu Shu lesson because it trains me both physically and mentally.
Idiom of the day
Idiom: dwindle away
Meaning: to shrink, contract, or diminish to something

My Journal Posting 4 - Write about a typical day out training for your golf CCA.
Posting 4: Write about a typical day out training for your golf CCA.
A typical day out training for my golf CCA is very fun to me. It is not when the training starts, but before it. On the school day itself, my golf friends and I would discuss about who would follow another. I usually go with Brandon. Every Wednesday, he would carry his bulky golf bag to school. Before the training starts, I would carry his golf bag for him to the MRT station and travel to Promenade station, which is near his house. After that, we would take a bus to his house. During transportation, we would chat and sometimes fight about small issues. Before our training, which starts at four pm,we had two hours to get to the location. When we reach his house, it would usually be around 2.30 pm. In his house, we would whip out our MacBooks and surf the net while eating our lunch. Around 3.30 pm, Brandon's mother would send us to Laguna Golf Course with her car. At the training site, we have to register our attendance at the club house and take a card which allows us to collect golf balls for our training. We are free to take any amount of balls as we are sponsored by a well known bank, OCBC. After taking golf balls, I would borrow Brandon's golf club and start to practice driving the balls till our coach arrives.Usually at the end of the lesson, my hands would be red and sore. Although the journey to the golf course is rather inconvenient, my time at the training is worth all the trouble.
Idiom of the day
Idiom: A penny for your thoughts
Meaning:This idiom is used as a way of asking someone what they are thinking about.
Sentence: A penny for your thoughts?

After taking golf balls, I would borrow Brandon's golf club and start to practice driving the balls till our coach arrives.Usually at the end of the lesson, my hands would be red and sore. Although the journey to the golf course is rather inconvenient, my time at the training is worth all the trouble.

Composition Writing 2:
Write about an incident regarding someone who had a great disappointment that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. (250 to 350 words)
"Help! Thief!" I yelled. With no other choice, I chased after the thief. The nightmare of losing my project I worked hard on might be happening. He ran as fast as he could and I tried to keep up. After passing a few void decks, I fought with him head on. He threw kicks and punches but I managed to dodge them. I grabbed my bag but eventually, he released my grasp on the bag after giving me a few kicks. With fury, I stood up with the intention to continue my chase. However, my foot slipped and I fell. My ankle had a shooting pain and I clutched it. The intense pain made me squint and howl. After trying my best to stand up, I hobbled to the side of the road and flagged for a taxi to return home.
The next day, my father helped me report to the police and my mother brought me to the hospital to check on my foot. Luckily, the x-ray showed that no bones were broken. The doctor told me that I had to rest at home for 2 weeks to heal my wounds.
" Am I still able to visit Aunt Mary in Malaysia?" I questioned.
"Unfortunately, no." my mother replied. I had never missed a chance to go visit Aunt Mary as the soups she cooked up tasted heavenly. She had always been giving me nice presents whenever I visit her. Cousin Zack and I always had lots of fun playing together. This cursed robbery ruined my entire holiday, gave me an injury, wasted a bus ticket to Malaysia and took away my precious project.
These two weeks were horrible as I could not get around without a crutch. Although I could still walk with the crutch, there was a constant shooting pain at my ankle. Whenever my foot was itchy, I could not ease it because of the bulky cast. Bathing became a chore and getting around was extremely slow. The worst part of all, I could not play my favourite sports with my friends. The only way I pacify myself was to watch the cartoon channels on the television. In a few days, I became a couch potato.
Around the second week, I happened to glance at the newspaper. There was an article which shocked me completely. The bus that was heading to Malaysia, the exact one which I had the ticket for, was involved in a serious accident. Suddenly, I felt extremely thankful for my "cursed" ankle.

[Commented] Composition 1 [Secret Door]
“Leeroy and Isaac, can you help me to carry these stacks of books to the staff room?” Mister Tan said. Isaac and I stood up, carried the stacks of books and sped up the stairs. We reached the entrance of the staff room early as Mister Tan had not reached yet. After a short conversation, I noticed a small pathway. [where is this small pathway? beside the staffroom entrance? please describe accordingly]
“What is this?” I questioned as I pointed towards the direction of the pathway.
“I’m not sure. I’ve never seen this before. Let’s go find out.” Isaac replied. At the end of the pathway was a large, metal door, like those of a bomb shelter. It had a ventilation grill above the door and a huge locking mechanism but was locked-up with the a number lock like the other staff room doors. The iron door had started to rust due to some scratches on the white paint. It was mysterious as there was no other door like this around. [good to describe] We felt intrigued [good use of word] and tried to see what was inside by reaching out jumping and peeking through to the ventilation grill but we were not tall enough. We decided to ask around about the door the next day. We were determined to find out more about this mysterious secret door.
The next day, we asked several students and teachers, including Mister Tan about the door. Some students gave ridiculous answers, such as it contained a ghost being haunted. The teachers did not know what was inside and told us that it was would be better if we did not poke stop poking around. However, our classmate, Jeff, said that if we wanted to know what was inside, we could. He said that he knew the password of every staff room door and that door may have the same code too. [why did Jeff have the pass code?] We decided to meet up after school to crack the mystery.
After school, Jeff, Isaac and I rushed up to the floor where the iron door was. Isaac and I had to look out for any teachers passing by while Jeff inputs the code. “CLINK! SCREEECH!” The door screeched as Jeff opened the door. It was surprising that no teachers noticed us due to the loud sound. We were excited and peered into the darkness. We stepped into the room cautiously. “Ouch!” I said as I bump into something. “What is this?”
“Hey! What are you kids doing here?” a voice bellowed. When we turned around, we saw our school janitor. “Get out of the janitor closet now!” he ordered.
