because our opinions matter

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.

Hui Min-Saving the Rainforests

Some of our rainforests has been destroyed by deforestration and a loy of our animals has lost their precious home.Rainforests has been destroyed for their rich resourses.These materials are like trees that can be used for making paper and other stuff.
Some animals are also almost extinct because of us humans need and sometimes our greed.Let us imagine that one day we are controlled by monsters and they destroyed our home.How will you feel?So,treasure the natural resourses that god has left for us and start saving the rainforests(and animals).Don't wait till they vanished,then start regreting.;)

Saving the rainforest...Rathi



Look how amazing the rainforest is....do you really have the heart to tear down this beautiful view.The beautiful scene should capture your eyes.. ok at least it catches mine.Imagine its not only this you are destroying but other fascinating sceneries.if you were smart you would have thought. the air you are breathing this very moment is provided by these plant without it we would not survive.I know maybe you think that.eee there is so much bugs and slimy plant.DESTROY THEM.but there are a source of life to you.please follow my advise and save the rainforest

Saving the rainforest-Natalie

Hmm...saving the rain forest,many posters like this are pasted on many notice boards in Singapore,and even the late Michael Jackson created a song about it.But are we really saving the environment?Long ago in ancient China they used to write on wood and cloth.But people soon discovered how to make paper,and have been throwing away the environment,well,like a piece of PAPER!Are we really going to live on the Moon or Mars someday, and leave our true home and let it become a barren wasteland?I really hope that scientist will soon find a way to write WITHOUT using paper.Now,wouldn't that be great?

Avivi(chen wei)- saving the rainforests

The world's rainforests are currently disappearing at a rate of 6000 acres every hour (this is about 4000 football fields per hour). When these forests are cut down, the plants and animals that live in the forests are destroyed, and some species are at risk of being made extinct. Further, as the large-scale harvesting of lumber from the rain forests continues, the balance of the earth's eco-system is disrupted. We need the rain forests to produce oxygen and clean the atmosphere to help us breathe. We also know that the earth's climate can be affected, as well as the water cycle. Rainforests also provide us with many valuable medicinal plants, and may be a source of a cure from some deadly diseases. Forests can be managed effectively without endangering rare species of plants and animals and without risking global environmental damage. Companies that harvest timber should not be allowed to "clear cut" large areas of forest and should be required to plant new trees after they cut old trees down. Governments should create large parks and reserves where hunting and logging are not allowed. As a world community, we must be careful not to destroy the resources that people will need in the future.

Saving the Rainforests - Zaki

In the past,the world was green,blue and the colours of the beautiful creatures who inhabitated them.That green,that beautiful,calming and natural green was the rainforests.But let's look into the future.I predict that in the future,the rainforests would be no more.I foresee a barren,cracked wasteland with no life.People wonder who did that.Who turned a beautiful patch of trees or the rainforest into the wasteland?Well guess what.It was us .We are the despiscable race that killed that place.Well,the destruction of it is inevitable but we can prolong its life.We can at least make that rainforest live for another 50 years or so.With much effort we can at least make companies to stop cutting down all those precious trees.Also trivial tasks like not burning plastic or using a recycling bag to carry stuff.Just do these tasks and you and the whole world can prolong the rainforest's life.Peace out.

JIelin saving the rainforest

Every body propagandize to save the rainforest but not many people actually do it ,because there are a question "how to save it" . yes,we must stop cutting down trees and stop throw rubbish into the forest .

Jun Boon-Saving the rainforests

I think that peope should do something about saving rainforests.Destroying rainforests will cause pollution.It will also contribute to global warming.If something is not done soon,most of the rainforests will be gone.We should save rainforests because they would make the world a greener place.I hope something is done soon.

Winona:Saving The Rainforests

The rainforest is a beautiful and wonderful place. However, rainforests are in trouble. They are vanishing very fast as each day, more and more of the rainforests are being cut down or burnt by Man for building houses and making funiture. Animals also become exicnt because of the lost of thir habitats. In my opinion, we should stop damging the raingforest, instead we should care for it as much as we care for our Earth.

joanne-saving the rainforests

why must we save the rainforests?what is the method of saving the rainforests?we must save the rainforests because many trees are cut down and that sometimes will caused water pollution and iff many trees are being cut down and we do not stop it,there will be less trees and less oxygen for us.If all the trees are cut down,we will soon die.the method of saving trees is to save paper as trees are being cut down to use to make paper.we can save paper by using both sides of paper to write instead of 1 side.

(_xiaoqi_) ----- "saving the rainforests"

━━━━━━━━━━●●━━


Saving the rainforests requires effort,patience and teamwork to achieve it.



we started using backdated newspaper and recycle toilet roll holder to do our artwork. Using both sides of the papers help us to lessen the cutting down of trees. The cans that we drinkfrom,we can put into the recycle bins to recycle them again.Those furniture that we want to dispose of,we can use them and make into other usable materials.

Saving the rainforest-wonyoungsin

I think saving the rainforest is very important because 1 hectare of forest or rainforest produce 12 tons of oxygen and drink 16 tons of carbon dioxide.They are really important to living things.If we continuously cut down the trees in the world,we will die eventually because of lack of oxygen.It is also important to animals live in rainforests.Many of animals already lost their habitat and home and extinct like giant panda and white tiger.
How we can save our rainforests? We can recycle papers and wate-newspaper again and again.
When we try hard to save rainforests,we can make better world to many living things.

saving the rainforest

I think every one should save the rainforest.Reason is that nature are important and it also help human by changing the air.Animals are also interesting and some plants can cure disease.
We can also enjoy the rainforest scene. I hope we can save the rainforest.

Saving the rainforest- Joshua

I think saving the rainforest is a very important thing to do as it helps save endagered animals like the giant panda and the white tiger. Many animals are being killed each year as we selfish, coldhearted humans kill trees which are homes to some animals. Killing trees might also reduce the the oxygen level in the air. It might also worsen the effects of global warming. I hope we, humans, will take care of our rainforests before our fellow animals die out.

Priya-Saving the rainforest


I think that it is important to save the rain forest as it has many lives living there.And if we destroy the rain forests,we lose the nature's beauty and natural resources.We have yet to discover many fascinating things and animals.Who knows ? Maybe the unknown things can cure incurable diseases like myopia,cancer.And we should not to be cruel to nature.Mother Earth gave us fascinating nature and we should not destroy it.

Saving The Rainforests - Tseng Tingwei

It is very important to save the rainforests as rainforests are made out of trees and plants and these trees and plants produce oxygen which is needed for all living things. If all the rainforests are destroyed, all the living things will die due to lack of oxygen! To save the rainforests, we can practice the '3Rs' which are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

♥Jou Hsuan - Saving the Rainforests


Saving our world is everyone responsibility , saving the rainforests too! It is very important that we save the rainforests as plants reproduce oxygen that human breath , without plant our world will be lack of oxygen and everyone will eventually die ! To save the rainforests , we need to recycle , reduce and reuse . Some of the methods are : stop wasting the papers , plastics , metals etc....... The world will become a better place if everyone can contribute a little each !

Saving the Rainforest-Jamie


I think that saving the rainforest is very important as plants produces oxygen which allows us to breathe. Without plants, this world will gradually run out of oxygen and everyone will die. To save the rainforests, we must stop wasting paper as if we waste paper, more and more trees will be cut down, making more and more animals homeless. Therefore, in order to prevent all these disasters, we must practice the '3Rs'. (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle)

shannon-saving the rainforests

i think saving the rainforest is very important as it is a home for many animals.the plants in the rainforests help us by exchanging carbon dioxide in oxygen during the process, photosynthesis. If the rainforest is used for making paper, many innocent animals' will lose their homes and many people are wasting paper,which is also cutting down trees,therefore the earth is getting hoter and hotter.We can also do our part by REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE.

Saving The Rainforest-Xing Yee

I think that saving the rainforest is very important as the rainforest houses many animals.The rainforest also helps us by changing the air around us as there are many trees in there.If one of the rainforest is cut down to make paper, our world will become hotter.I belive that if everyone recycle, reuse and reduse our world will be a better place!

Jian Hui-Saving the Rainforests

Rainforest is a good place.Everybody is starting to deforest mostly all the trees.We must do a part by reforest them.Quick!Save the rainforests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tizane: Saving the rainforest

I think we should save the rainforest as the EARTH is getting warmer. This called global warming.There are many types of causes that cause GOBAL WARMING. One of reasons is many trees are cut down to make paper. So there will be lesser carbon dioxide taken in by the plants. We can also do our part by REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE.

Saving The Rainforest-Titus Loh(Sutit)

People keep saying "Saving the Rainforest" But my question is how?People kill trees,animals etc..Imagine that you are one of the animals and those hunters hunt your houses..If I (animal) can actually speak, I will tell them to stop and also if there is "hunter" and hunt their houses down, how will they feel. Well everyone will need to use the computer, watch TV etc.... Just remember not to use too much of them as it will cause air pollution..

claryl-saving the rainforest

The rainforest is in danger.By saving it,we can save it by saving papers, plastic water botters and more.This is call"REduse,REuse and REcycle."

Cheryl-Saving the rainforest

The rainforest is in danger!By saving the rainforet,we can do our part to use the paper we had use before to recycle so that we do not need to cut the tree.Imagine that all tree ,are cut down will not call the rainforest and we will have no paper.

Saving The Rainforst-Tom

Wow,thats a hard subject.'Saving The Rainforest'???Well,people always say "Use lesser paper,prevent using plastic,wooden chopsticks.....Blah,blah,blah"All rubbish.The rainforest is called the lugs of Earth.As we have just learnt in Science,when our lungs fail,our whole system fails.The rainforest recycles almost all carbon dioxide into oxygen.Without plants,all living things should have been extinct a long time ago.So,in my point of view,I think what we need to do most is to stop destroying the forest to extend the cities.
