Picture 1:The Beach

Introduction:
This picture shows a scene at the Beach. It is crowded with people from all walks of life. They are all engaged in various recreational activities. It may be a weekend or a public holiday.

Scenario 1: Normal

A Lady wearing a pair of sunglasses is strumming a guitar. There is a smile on her face. She must be enjoying herself. She is singing a song to a girl who is sitting at her feet. She may be the lady's daughter. She looks mesmerized with the music and she is clapping to the rhythm of the song. She is singing along with the lady. They are having a picnic as there is a mat laid out with some drinks and a picnic basket.

Personal Response for Scenario 1:

This is a good example of family bonding. The mothers idea of bringing her daughter to the beach and singing a song to her shows that she wants to strengthen her bond with her daughter. I wish my parents were like her!

Scenario 2: Wrong & Consequence

Two children are playing a ball game. They are tossing a ball to and fro to each other. They might be good friends.

Personal Response for Scenario 2: They are playing very near to the shoreline. They may accidentally toss the ball out into the sea. This may pose a danger if the children if the children wade out to sea to retrieve the ball. It is very dangerous as the currents may be strong and they will be swept away by it. They should play further away from the shoreline. I have read about cases where Secondary School boys drown due to these underwater currents. I cannot imagine what will happen to these children if they get swept away.

Scenario 3: Wrong & Consequence

A little girl is riding on a dinosaur float. She is paddling out to sea. She seems to be playing tag with a boy who might be her brother. The boy is chasing her using the stroke, butterfly.

PR for Scenario 3:

I feel that it is dangerous for the little girl to be wandering out to sea. She might not be a good swimmer. They seem to be nonchalant to the danger of falling and drowning. I think their parents should be around to supervise her or the boy, being older should be more mature and should not play such dangerous games.

Scenario 4: Normal

There are two young girls building a magnificent sandcastle, so decorated with exquisite seashells. They are working diligently at building their multi-tiered sandcastle. There is a boy assisting the girls by ferrying pails of water from the sea.

Personal Response for Scenario 4:

This show great teamwork between the three of them.

Conclusion:

A beach is a good place for family bonding and recreational activities.

My drug story

Drug Addict
By Kevin Bun

“Hmm….What is this?” I murmured, holding a box of Ecstasy. At that point of time, I did not know what I was getting myself into, or what Ecstasy was. Unknowingly, I ate the ecstasy pill.
Suddenly, I felt a great wave of energy course through my veins. It was a great feeling. I felt that I could do anything, I accepted my true self for the first time in my entire life. Being a pimple-faced freak, I was extremely shy about my appearance, until now. My friends in school had given me this box. I felt very unsure at that time, but now I know why they offered it to me. The whole day I felt like I was full of energy. I did not feel afraid! It was great.
The next day, I felt really tired and was easily irritated at school. My friends came back and offered me some more ecstasy. I really thought about it. My conscience told me not to, but my dark side told me to take it. I reflected on how I felt yesterday and I wanted to feel it again, so I took the drug and gulped it down. The awesome feeling came back. I felt as energized as yesterday.
Today, I was totally energized. After school, my friends asked me to go to this cool, new pub called “The Matrix”. I decided to tag along as I thought it sounded cool
When we arrived, people started to rush up to me and asked me for ecstasy. I stared at my friends in excitement, and shouted at them, “What is this?” “Oh, they want ecstasy from you!” They shouted back. One of my friends passed me 20 to 50 boxes of ecstasy. The crowd demanded it and bought it for top price. After the sale, I had earned around $600. I myself had taken 2 pills of ecstasy. Suddenly, the sound of a siren filled the pub.
What is that sound? I thought. As I looked at the entrance of the pub, 4 policemen crashed the door down. The yelled freeze and demanded the drug dealer of ecstasy. I ran immediately. My friends did not dare help me; instead they made way for the police. I looked at them with eyes full of sorrow.
I ran with all my might. It was no use. I could feel the effect of the Ecstasy wearing off. By the time the drug wore off, I was handcuffed and shoved into the police car. My parents were at the scene, looking at me with disappointed eyes. I looked down in humiliation. I had learned my lesson not to trust my “true friends”.

Book Review 2: Pendragon: The Reality Bug

Hello all readers,

Today's post is about another book review! After reading the book"Pendragon: The Never War", I was hooked on the Pendragon series. Now, thanks to Kelly Wong(Thank You Kelly Wong!), I was able to read the next book in the series, The Reality Bug. This book takes place in the world of Veelox, a futuristic planet/territory. The main issue of this book is LifeLight, a system which can read your brain and display your fantasy world. The system is something like the tube-like chamber from "Avatar"(The blue alien movie). This traveller, called Aja Killian, thought Lifelight was too addictive that the citizens of Veelox spend too much time in it, so she created a virus called "The Reality Bug". The effects of this virus are..... Too much said already, go read the book yourself.

Overall, out of 10, I would rate it 9/10. Again, the author creates suspense at the end of every chapter, so I felt like reading it even though I had to do other things which did not include reading this book. The plot was good and there were a lot of twist's, just like the previous book. After reading this book, I now have more knowledge of the world of Veelox. The only thing is that there was a sad ending to this book. I find this realistic as Bobby Pendragon has had 3 wins over Saint Dane, and this is the first time he failed. Again, I must thank Kelly Wong for the exchange. If you have a Pendragon book with you, please leave a comment to notify. Thanks.

Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland

This is a classic. A Disney classic. This time, they made Johnny Depp a mad(as in crazy) person called the mad hatter. Movie directed my Tim Burton. The movie I watched was in 3-D so the effects were good. Out of 10, I would rate it a 7/10. Even though it is supposed to be a family classic, there were some characters that just looked bizarre! E.g. the Red Queen, The mad hatter, etc. It still sticks to the original plot about Alice falling down the hole that leads to Wonderland, but some parts are new, such as the White Queen, the dragon slaying etc.
The characters wore a layer of make-up, a Layer! I am not exaggerating. Their faces were white as sheet. Overall, this movie is still for kids, but Parental Guidance(PG) is advised.

Book Review! Pendragon: The Never War

Dear all readers, today's new post is about the book "Pendragon: The Never War". This book is about history. I suggest that people reading this post read the Pendragon series from the beginning as it has most of the characters' description and tell you how it all happened. "The Never War" takes place in first earth which is right after World War I. There are 3 earths. The past(first earth), present(second earth) and third earth(the future). There is this evil guy named Saint Dane and he plans to do really bad stuff and make Bobby Pendragons life hard(BTW, Bobby Pendragon is the main protagonist in the series.) The big event in this book is the crash of Luft Zeppelin-129, The Hidenburg. There are alot of twists in this story and I would rate it....8/10. The 2 missing marks/points are due to the fact that the book is unrealistic. E.g. the cause of the Hidenburg crash still remains a mystery, there are such things as time travellers etc. The rest is pretty much alright. I noticed that at the end of each chapter, the suspense always builds up. There are twists that the reader will not expect. Overall, I recommend this book to those sci-fi fans and fantasy fans. Please comment! :)

Yours sincerely,

Movie review: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

Hi to everyone reading this, I have not blogged for a long time. Sorry to all people who make effort to come to this blog even though there has not been any new posts until now. Moving on, today I am going to review the new movie:
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief!
Spoiler alert! Please do not read if you plan to watch this movie, on the other hand you can ignore this spoiler alert and read on. This movie is all about Greek Gods, Demigods, mystical creatures e.g. Satyrs(pronounced "say-ters"), hell hounds ect. As the title of the movie suggests, this is about Percy Jackson and about a lightning bolt. This lightning bolt is no ordinary lightning bolt, it is the master bolt made for Zeus. Zeus is the "boss" of the Greek Gods. He has 2 brothers, Hades and Poseidon. As I have wrote earlier, Poseidon is the god of the sea. Hades is the god of the underworld or as many people call it, hell. Now on with the story, the gods suspect Percy of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. The only thing is that Percy does not have the lightning bolt, it was some other guy who stole the lightning bolt I shall not reveal his/her name. Zeus warned Poseidon that if his son did not return the lighning bolt within 14 days, there would be war. In the end there was no war and Percy saved the world. Overall I would rate it a 9/10, mostly because there was alot of action and stuff like that. The plot was great, there were many "problems" in the movie and of course, solutions. I would recommend it to those who love adventure and.... well mostly adventurepercy_jackson_and_the_olympians_the_lightning_thief_ver3_000.jpg
