SA1 REFLECTION!

I am glad that SA1 is finally over and June holidays are on the way...

This year SA1, the most difficult paper for me is Maths and the easiest being Science. I am delighted with my marks although I did not meet all my targets set in the beginning of the year.
For me to achieve good results, I have to thank you, Mrs Shanmugam and others subject teachers for the guidances and helps as well as my parents' supports. I will continue to work consistently, seriously and diligently in all my subjects. It is really about work hard and work hard..."No pain no gain."

For the remedial and enrichment classes, I think they may be more useful for students whom need additional helps on some subjects, but it may become too stressful for students who do not need them. More classes mean more time and more tasks.

I would be more careful and continue to try my best to maintain and hit all my subjects' targets by the end of this year.

Swine Flu

It is a respiratory disease that occcurs regularly in pigs which has not normally infected by people. It is caused by the Influenza A (H1N1)virus; another strain causes flu in humans.

The first case of Swine flu was detected from a four-year old boy from the town of Perote in Mexico.

It can be spread from human to human through coughing or sneezing, or touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching the mouth or nose. No scientific evidence virus transmitted by pork consumption.

We can wash our hands with soap and water regularly, stay away from people who are sick and do not touch contaminated surfaces or go to crowded places and school if we are ill. All should be considerate by covering ones' mouth and nose when cough or sneeze in public.

I will feel very sad because we cannot go out and play. If school shut down then our exams/holidays will be affected. In the worst case, our exams will be delayed and might burn our June holidays too... During the June holiday, we also cannot go overseas since virus is spreading speedily around the world and getting nearer to us now, one case is identified in Hong Kong.

The good news is, Singapore so far is still safe and currently our alert level is ORANGE. Our government has addressed the emerging health problems and contingency plans have already been activated to combat the influenza A to safeguard our nation.
