Culture Unplugged Video
Q1. What is your initial reaction after watching the clip?
I was stunned after watching this clip! To think that there were so many people actually consuming the leftovers of others. At the same time, I pity them that they have to go through such a harsh lifestyle.
Q2. Think of three questions you have about the clip.
1)How can we prevent the wastage of food?
2)What can we do to help the poor?
3)Do you think that these people are satisfied with their lifestyle?
Q3. Try to provide some answers to your questions.
1)People should not order more than what they can eat. Even if they are too full to finish their food, they can always put it aside for later.
2)Leftover food, such as bread can be donated to these poor people instead of throwing it away. This way, the bread will not go to waste as the poorer people are able to consume it.
3)I think these people are not satisfied with their lifestyle as they do not have proper lodging and sufficient food to eat. However, they too also look on the bright side of life.

Questions given by Mrs Choong
Tell us your problems in learning English.
I do not know when to apply certain dificult words in a sentence. An example would be Hermaphrodite, maundering and etc.
What works for you and what does not?
So far, reading storybooks and newspapers does not help me as they bore me to tears. The only thing that I find working for me is watching drama and anime series. This is due to the fact that the sound effects and the language that they speak are cool! However, I am unable to understand the language that they speak and thus reading the subtitles is my only option. This has helped me to widen my range of vocabulary and taught me the right application for grammar. All in all, watching anime series can be addictive! =P
How much have I learnt this year?
I have learnt quite a lot as compared to the previous year. This is because it is the first time I have attained a grade above average!
Are you happy with your progress?
I am happy with my progress, but it still does not satisfy my needs. I would need to attain a better grade and I would go all out just to achieve it.
