Tortoise and the Hare story: Teledude's point of view

Well, I fell that it takes more than Intelligence and Diligence to win a race. It takes luck, coordination, strategy and other minor factors.
Now, to talk about the Hare's point of view.

I will definitely win the race! That slow tortoise will not win! He is so slow, I bet it will take him 1 year to finish the race!

Now, talk about the tortoise's point of view. (Note, my tortoise suffers from multiple personality disorder...)

(Feel like giving up side) Darn. How can I win? That Hare is so fast, I bet he will only have to take one leap to finish this short race. While I will take a year to complete it!
(Motivational side) Don't give up! I know we can do it!
(Feel like giving up side) NO I can't!
(Motivational side) YES I can! That's it! I'm sick of your "give up" attitude!
(Motivational side) punches (Feel like giving up side)
(Feel like giving up side) falls down and faints.
(Motivational side) takes over body.

The big day comes. The race goes on. The Hare leaps 3 meters while the Tortoise move 1 inch. The Hare continues at lightning fast speed! He turns back. That was his mistake.
The Hare squints his eyes, but could not see any sign of the tortoise. He sees a shady tree and decides to take a nap... Time flies and by the time the Hare woke up, the tortoise was crawling on the path, right in front of him. He was startled. So he decides to rush to the finish line. Again, he takes a look back at the Tortoise, and sees him struggling to reach to the finish. His heart melts at the sight of this.So he decides to let go of his title as Race king champion and went to help the Tortoise. At the last minute, the Tortoise back-stabbed the Hare and takes the title. At that point of time, his third side, (The evil side) took over his body and won the race, despite the Hare helping him.
The Hare was left standing there, open-mouthed, wide-eyed and furious!
After the race, he approaches the Tortoise and gives him a punch in the face. The Tortoise reacted by stepping on his tail, then, Hare's tail was long. Hare shouts in agony and pain. He struggles to pull away, but in the end he ends up tearing his own tail apart. When the (Motivational side) kicked in, he apologize profusely, and back in his own mind, he punches the (evil side) until it bowed down and apologized to the (motivational side). The Tortoise (Motivational side) decides to move away to a land called Wunderville, and so his new life starts to unfold...
Based on the story above, please comment on what you feel about the Tortoise and the Hare.

Yours sincerely,
Kevin

Picture 4: Monkey Bar accident

Introduction:

This picture shows a scene at the school play area.

Scenario 1: Wrong & Consequence

There are two boys at the left side of the picture. They are kicking the ball to and fro each other. They look like they are having fun.

PR for Scenario 1:

What they are doing is wrong. They should not play at the playground. They are supposed to play at the field, where there is more space. If one of the boys don't kick the ball properly, the ball will hit an innocent person. I have came across this before. I have seen and experienced this situation. I was kicking the ball when I did not aim properly and kicked at an innocent boy. I apologized profusely, I asked his brother whether he was okay, his brother replied that he was going to be fine. I felt really guilty that day, so I practiced my kicking and accuracy.

Scenario 2: Cause & Effect

At the left hand side of the picture, there is a girl on the play area floor with a bleeding elbow, crying very loudly. She may have fallen down the monkey bars. There is a bigger boy coming to her aid. He might be the little girl's brother. There is a boy hanging on the monkey bars, he looks afraid after seeing the little girl fall down.

PR for Scenario 2:

What the big kid is doing is right. He is very concerned for the little girl. Even though I have to come across this experience before, I can empathize with him. If that were my little sister, I would also be worried for her.

Conclusion:

The Play Area is a place where we should be careful. Anything could happen there. You just have to prepare for the worst.

Picture 3: The accident on the stairs

Introduction:

This picture shows a scene one of the stairs in a school. There are many accidents happening at the stairs.

Only Scenario: Cause & Effect

There is a boy running down the stairs, he accidentally knocked a teacher and the books that she was holding slipped off her hands, and the boy was also running towards another teacher holding a cup of coffee or tea. The teacher is holding out his hand, calling him to stop. There are other pupils at the stairs and the things that they were carrying also fell down.

PR for Cause & Effect picture:

We need to beware of our safety at school. There are many dangers at school such as the stairs. Many people have fallen down the stairs. I have experienced it before. I was running down the stairs then I missed a step and tumbled down the stairs. I sprained two of my fingers and hurt my shin. It is a learning experience and nowadays I am more careful when I go down the stairs.

Picture 2: Grandpa's Birthday

Introduction:

This picture shows a scene at a birthday party. There is a banner at the back of the room. It has the words "Happy 80th Birthday, Grandpa!", so I can infer from that it is Grandpa's 80th birthday.

Scenario 1: Normal

There is a middle-aged man pouring something in a bowl. It looks like he is making a sort of drink.

Personal Response for Scenario 1:

This shows that this guy cares for Grandma and Grandpa.

Scenario 2: Normal

There is a group of people putting food on the table. They seem to be related. They may be a family.

Personal Response for Scenario 2:

This shows their bond together. It is really strong, the two children are disciplined enough to stay put. Unlike most little children, they are behaving. My cousin, he is around 5 to 6 years old and he cannot stop moving! He will try to move as long as there is a chance to move.

Scenario 3: Wrong & Consequence:

At the right of the family, there are two boys waiting in line to give their present, but it seems that one of the boys did not have one. It is hard to tell who the present belongs to. The short and small boy looks like he is struggling to get the present. You can tell by the expression on his face.

Personal Response for Scenario 3:

This is very wrong as they might get hurt. They will not only ruin Grandpa's birthday party, but they will also recieve a scolding from their parents. If I were there, I would definitely stop them from doing so.

Scenario 4: Normal

There is a girl giving her present to Grandpa. There is a boy lining up behind her. What they are doing is right, they are not doing anything wrong, instead they are quietly lining up, unlike the two boys behind them.

PR for Scenario 4:

I think that they show great respect for their elders. They not only bought presents for Grandpa, but they also line up obediently and in an orderly manner. The two boys behind them should really emulate the two children in front of them.

Conclusion:

I find it touching that these children can make it for their Grandpa's birthday. It really shows their closeness. They truly are a close family.

I am sorry.

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”.
