T1W4 Journal Writing : Festivals

Hi Everyone,

We are now celebrating Chinese New Year. This is one of the many festivals celebrated by the Chinese. The Malays, Indians and other races also celebrate their own festivals. For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of these festivals and how we can preserve racial harmony in Singapore.

To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions/pointers below:

1. Tell us about the festival you celebrate.

2. Why do you celebrate this festival?

3. How do you celebrate the festival?

4. Do you know what are the festivals celebrated by the other races? If so, could you name a few? Also tell us who celebrate them and why they celebrate them.

5. Do you think the celebration of the various festivals help in strengthening racial harmony among the various race in Singapore? If so, how?

6. In your opinion, how can we develop stronger bonds among the various races in Singapore?Looking forward to reading your reflection soon.

A brief introduction of myself

Dear Class,

To kick start our own blog, I would like you to share a bit more about myself. I love to go jogging in the nearby Bishan Park and Mac-ritchie reserviours. I love to watch movies as well as collect good movie DVDs. Sometimes I play some computer games as well. I am a lover of steaks, especially when they are cooked 'medium rare'. I am also a sashimi lover. I would like to go to New Zealand or Austrialia during the holidays.

Now that I have shared about myself, it is good to hear from you too! Please let me know what your hobbies are, your favourite foods and places that you like to visit. Is there also any interesting things about yourself, which you would like your classmates to know?


Best regards,
Mr Ng
