T2 W6 Journal Writing : Kindness

'Kindness' means to help someone when they need help. It is important for people to be kind because other people will also help them when they need help. People can show their kindness by helping others in their time of need. An act of kindness which I have done is to help my neighbour carry so me heavy shopping bags. I felt very happy after doing that act of kindness. Other acts of kindness I would like to do is to help others more ofter. I myself can promote the message of kindness to my friends by telling them to be more polite.

T2 W4 Journal Writing : International Friendship Day

International Friendship Day celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August every year. The tradition of dedicating a day in honor of friends began in US in 1935(no references). Gradually the festival gained popularity and today Friendship Day is celebrated in large number of countries. On this day people spend time with their friends and express love for them. Exchange of Friendship Day Gifts like flowers, cards and wrist bands is a popular tradition of this occasion.

We celebrate International Friendship Day by getting pupils from other countries to wear their national costume. ASEAN stands for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. I like the activities by the school on International Friendship Day because it is interesting. I have a friend in a ASEAN country. I got to know him one day when I sat on a bus with him.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, commonly abbreviated ASEAN (generally pronounced occasionally in English, the official language of the bloc), is a geo-political and economic organization of 10 countries located in Southeast Asia, which was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Its aims include the acceleration of economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members, the protection of the peace and stability of the region, and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully.

For the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), April 11, 2009, will be remembered as the day of a major embarrassment. The Thai government was forced to cancel the summit between ASEAN and its dialogue partners — the ASEAN+3 (APT) Summit and the East Asian Summit (EAS) — initially planned to be held in Pattaya. Hundreds of red-shirted pro-Thaksin protestors broke into the site of the summit and forced the government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to declare a state of emergency in Pattaya.

I think the school should make all Andersonians buddies with the pupils from ASEAN countries. In doing so, we can develop friendship with pupils from ASEAN countries. We can then understand their traditions, culture, language and religion.

T2 W3 Journal Writing: Improving the School

I like the library very much as there is a wide range of books there. I think I dislike the hall the most as it is very hot and uncomfortable as there are always a lot of people there. I think installing the air con faster can be done to inprove the school. The other areas of the school that should be improved is making the field indoor. Pupils can help in the improvement of the school by not damaging and vandalising the facilities.

I have to eat fruits and vegetables in order to be healthy. 8 foods you should eat to be healthy are:1. Sweet potatoes. They're loaded with carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. 2. 100% whole grain bread contains many more vitamins and minerals than its white counterpart. 3. Broccoli comes packed with vitamin C, carotenoids and folic acid. 4. Watermelon makes an excellent source of vitamin C and carotenoids. 5. Spinach and kale provide calcium, fiber, carotenoids, and vitamin C. 6. Oranges contain vitamin C, plus abundant folic acid, potassium and fiber. 7. Oatmeal provides soluble fiber that helps lower bad cholesterol while improving good cholesterol. 8. milk ranks as an excellent source of protein, with little or no artery-clogging fat or cholesterol. Some of the unhealthy food adults and children like to eat are 1. Soda.2.Potato chips and French fries.3.Doughnuts.4.Doughnuts5.Luncheon Meats/Hot Dogs.6. Canned Soup. some of the diseases associated with eating unhealthy food are diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke. The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables are because fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. I like to eat fruits and one kind of vegetables,broccoli, Fruit Is 100% Bad-Cholesterol Free .
