Holiday homework 5

Picture discussion
This picture depicts a scene of a group of students conducting experiments in a science labatory. They are wearing white coats and protective latex gloves. It is most probably to prevent the bacteria they are handling from getting onto their skin. The table consists of 4 students, one of the students is using distilled water maybe to purufy the specimen. All the students look engrossed woth the experiments they are doing. It seems like they were having fun with the experiments they were handling. They have to be very careful with the experiments. and laboratory rules have to be followed to ensure safety in the lab.

my favourite subject would be additional mathematics. I feel that through a maths, my thinking skills would be better developed as many questions in a maths requires patience and hard thinking. Usually i have little patience in other subjects, bit after studying topics like logarithim and trigo, i found out that a little patience is all it takes to solve many problems.

Holiday Homework 4

Picture Discussion
This picture depicts the scene of a hawker centre. Many people are helping to clean and tidy up the hawker centre. Many of them are dressed in uniforms, thus we can infer that most of them are hwker vendors and town council members. They are spraying water on the floor, and cleaning the tables and chairs with a liquid which is most likely to be disinfectant. The cleaning of the hawker centre is for hygeine pruposes. It may be for the fight against the recent h1n1 outbreak. hygenie plays a very important part. Thus, it is crucial for us to be hygenic at all times to keep h1n1 from spreading.

My house would be considered clean and tidy as my mother is very particular about cleanliness. It is neccessary that we keep the enviroment around us clean and tidy. If we dont, when we look for things we would be rummagaing around the whole house, making it messier than it already is. I feel that it is important to keep tidy and clean.

This picture depicts a scene of a class in the science lab carrying out practicals. In this picture, 4 students are surronding a table on which a pulley is located. There is a teacher by their side guiding them on how to carry out this experiment properly. The boy to the right of the picture is listening intently to the teacher and also observing how this experiment is carried out. The other 2 students beside him does not seem to be paying as much attention. They are scribbling something on the books in front of them. The students all seem to be very serious in this practical, which i think is important as they may have to use these skills in their end of year exams.

A subject that i like in school would most probably be A Maths. I feed that this subject really requires you to think and not memorise like english or history. Doing maths question also kills time fast, sometimes, i can spend 40-50min on a question.

I do not like hands-on work, rather, i would prefer written work. Hands-on work is very tiring and it just does not suit me. But with written work, i can just sit there and do it the whole day. I feel that it is better to learn things by doing them. Although i think this way, i still prefer reading as i am too lazy.
