1)How does the way we speak tells us who we are ?,2)Do you think Singlish is good,Why or why not ?-Priya




1)The way we speak tells others about our attitude and personality.If you are attending an interview,you need to speak in the way to impress the interviewer.And we need to be polite.This shows that intonations are important in communication.If we sound firm and threatening, people will think that we order and threat them.If we sound soft,others will think that we are kind and soft-hearted.
2)I think that Singlish is good and bad. It is good by creating a identification for us to differentiate us from others. It is bad because sometimes Singlish creates a bad impressions and some can't understand the language and some take it seriously and thinks that the person who spoke the language teases and scolds him/her.

And I think that it is best to speak good English as it does not have any bad impression and can articulate our thoughts clearly as everyone understand the language.

1)How Does The Way We Speak, Tells Us About Who We Are? 2)Do You Think Singlish is Good? Why or Why Not?-Jael

1)The way speak really tells us about who we are. Like when we talk softly, it tells us that we're shy or when we talk loudly or aggresively all the time it tells us that we are a somekind of bully so it really tells us about who we are.
2) I think Singlish is good...For Singaporeans...Some people might think that its offensive or maybe embarrassed like the British beacause Singaporeans are some kind of British too, right? What I dont get is why foreign students, like me, starts to use Singlish? I mean I know normal English but i cant help it! I need to Use Lah, Leh, Mah when i talk to my Singaporean friends...Its pretty weird...

Do you think Singlish is good?Why or why not?-Tizane

I think it is both good and bad. It is good because it tells foreigners that we are Singaporeans and how we communicate with each other.It is bad because if we are having some business with a foreigner and we speaks Singlish to the foreigner. The foreigner may not have a good impression on us and they may not do the business with us. So,I think it is time for us to speak poper English.

How does the way we speak, tell us about who we are?-Tizane

It tells us our personality. The way we speak can tell us more about our attitude. The intonation of our voice may let others know our true self. If others know more about our personality ,we may get along easier and better.

Do you think singlish is good? Why or why not? by winona

I think singlish is bad as i thing it is very rude. Example, if someone is talking to you and you said it in a singlish tone it is express as if you are not intrested in the person who you are talking to.some people may say that singlish is good as to learn a new language, i think the opposite.:(

How does the way we speak, tell us about who we are?by winona

I think with intonation, we can express our emotions and feeling. People will also be able to identify our feelings. If we are angry we will form a strong and firm tone when we speak. If we are sad, we will form a low and fearful voice. I intonation are fun when you are having fun guessing the expressions of your friends. Trying to guess your friend rise and fall of his or hers voice will be such fun!:);)

clarence-how does the way we speak about who we are/is singlish good?why or why not?

I think that the way we speak can tell people who we are like differrent country might speak in different tone.It is like European speak very weirdly in chinese.The tone that we speaks can also show our feelings.The way we speak can also tell us our personality.I think singlish is not so good.It might be understood by singaporean but not by other countries.it might also pull down student's english subject.So we should speak english.

Lim Wei Jun :1)How does the way we speak, tells us about who we are? 2)Do you think Singlish is good?

1) The words we say and the way we say them tells people about who we are, like our behaviour and attitude. The words we say can also show our true selves. If we say something bad or using vulgar language, we may hurt or offence others and they will think that we are rude and disrespectful. The way we speak is important as it represent you and makes what people think of you, so we must think before we speak. Do not speak things that are inappropriate and may hurt other.
2)In my point of view, I do not think Singlish is bad but I do not think it is good either! Singlish is so called"logo" for Singapore. When we speak Singlish, everyone knows that we are from Singapore and give it a unique identity. Every country had their own kind of speaking and language and being a Singaporeans, we use singlish very naturally and it is quite difficult to kick this habit. On the other hand, others may not be able to understand Singlish and we may have difficulties communicating. Singlish is also not formal English so I think learning proper English is inportant as it is a international language.

How does the way we speak about who we are-Jian Hui

It was the language.Like all the countries in Asia follow the British's language and America follows the American.Speaking Slinglish is bad because some people cannot understand Slinglish like the American people.It also is bad because some people do not accept Slinglish.
