International Friendship Day
It was the most memorable day for me. It has different countries with their cultures. I have learnt so much from it. We got to wear traditional clothes, took pictures and played games regarding the country. I had so much fun. Different country has different way of culture and their tradition customs. I am looking forward to the next International Friendship Day again!

Reflection [Fencing]
I was having fun that day, like really fun! I learnt so much from it. I had fun with my classmates, it brings us together more closely than before. It was my first time holding the equipment and play fencing. I did not know that , fencing, could be real challenging. It takes a lot of perseverance to attack the opponent, not knowingly what the opponent will do. I really enjoyed myself there and I hoped there would be more of such activities again.

Dear Mr Singh,
Suggestions on how to reduce rape cases in India
I am displeased in how the
India Police Force dealt rape cases that occurred recently. The worldwide
sensation rape in India has become a national debate and people felt indignant
because the rapists are not severely charged or dealt with. I felt that the
government should enforce more strictly on the law and the rape cases in India
have to be put to a stop.
I would like to suggest that
the law on rapists should be a death sentence. This would not only raise the
awareness of the people in India, but also people who are trying to rape think
twice about it before doing the action taken. By implementing laws that
requires their life taken, people would not dare to do crime things more often
and not regard it as a joke. Police force may also undergo trainings where they
would gain more knowledge and would be more skilled to do certain things more
professionally.
Women in India should also
have equal treatment as men. Women would be able to gain respect and also a
sense of freedom for them. As rape cases are often reported, women should have
the rights to have their phones beside them all the time to call for help when
in need. Enforcing stricter laws in India may also let the country have a crime
free place to live in.
To prevent more cases of rape from
happening, women must go in groups and often avoid uncrowded places as this
would ensure their safety. The police may also need to keep a lookout for
suspicious looking people. By having a tight security around the vicinity, less
rape cases would also be happening. Police patrolling the area every hour may
ensure tight security too.
As generations passed by,
the people in India should more or less know about the change of the laws
implemented and charges faced if they commit such crimes again. Lastly, I hope
you would take things into considerations and would like to thank you for
spending time reading my letter.

‘Bitterness first sweetness
last’, this may look like an easy job but the process to sweetness is tough.
For example the challenges faced by parents these days are not easy. They need
to work, cook, and earn money to provide for their children. They also need to
face the economic crisis, children’s performances in school and their work.
They faced so many challenges, everyday but yet they dare not show it on their
faces in front of their children. I feel that their job as a parent is not as
easy as it looks.
Especially for parents, their
work is most important. It helps them to earn money to provide for their family
and they even work overtime to get a larger salary to give their children
better living conditions. Children, like teenagers, do not even appreciate what
they did for them. They even complain about not giving them enough pocket
money. All they do is work, work, and work, even when they have a bit of a free
time also unable to spare for them.
Parents not only they have to
work, they also need to pacify their children. Their children made it so
contradicting that even they do not know what their children want. For example when parents are busy with their
work, their children complain. Similarly, when parents got their day off, their
children also complain that their parents keep bothering them like a bee
attracted to a flower.
All parents wishes that after their
work was to go back home, take a relaxing shower, meals being prepared by us,
everything in the house is neat and most importantly, a word of ‘Thank You’
from their beloved children. That is all they can ever ask for, yet this is
rarely seen in the century. Parent’s love for their children is greater than
any other love. It is just so strong that parents themselves are unable to show
it to their children that they love them.
To me, I feel that children like us are
not grateful towards what our parents have done for us. Doing odd jobs, provide
us with education, make sure that we do not go hungry, just everything that
they do, we as children are indebted to them. They took care of us when we are
young, so when they are old, we will take care of them and repay their love to
us back; our parents are like our hero and heroine in our lives. If I got the
chance, I would like to tell them that I love them as much as they do.

Challenges faced by parents
these days aren’t easy. They need to work, cook, earn money to provide their
children. Need to face the economic crisis, children’s performances in school
and their work. They faced so many challenges, everyday but yet they don't show
it on their faces in front of their children.
Parents work is most important.
It helps them to earn money to provide their family and they even work overtime
to get a larger salary to give their children better living conditions. But
children, like teenagers, don't appreciate it. They complain about not giving
them enough pocket money, all they do is work, work, work. Never spare a
thought for them.
When their children are
complaining, deep down inside, all they actually wanted was their parents to
show their love for them. Their children complain but the parent didn't blame
them because they actually know the consequences for working long hours.
Similarly, when parents got their day off, their children also complain that
their parents keep bothering them like a bee attracted to a flower. This made
their parents so confused, that even themselves do not know what is good or bad
for their children, because all parents wishes was to provide even better
things for their children. All they need was a support was us, their children.
All they need after their work was
to go back home, take a relaxing shower, meals being prepared by us, everything
in the house is neat and most importantly, a word of ‘Thank You’ from their
beloved children. That is all they can ever asked for, yet this is rarely seen
in the century. Parent’s love for their children is greater than any other

don't appreciate what our parents have done for us. Doing odd jobs, providing us
for education, make sure that we don't go hungry, just everything that they do,
we as children are indebt to them. They took care of us when we were young, so
when they are old, we will take care of them and repay their love to us back,
our parents are like our hero and heroine in our lives. If I got the chance, I
would like to tell them that I love them as much as they do.
