We watched puppet show bout fire not very sure as it was so funny and i kept on laughing the man controlling those puppets was so funny.Then during assembly some hongkong pupils from a missionary school o our school sang a few songs for us one of which is what dreams are made of by Hilary duff from the Lizzie McGuire movie.I was surprised to find that they are fluent in English they even have an American accent!And to think that we , Singaporeans have always thought that our English is better than hongkongers we claimed that their English is better i supposed their right. But then during literacy plus, the teacher said that it was because they are rich kids and that their parents enrolled them in missionaries run by Americans or something like that don't really know since i wasn't paying attention so that means only those rich kids whose parents enrolled them in English schools are fluent in English and the rest who enrol in normal schools that teach in Cantonese are not very fluent in English.I think, still not very sure.

“In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference. We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking. I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. Moreover, I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me. Perhaps these pages are more particularly addressed to poor students. As for the rest of my readers, they will accept such portions as apply to them. I trust that none will stretch the seams in putting on the coat, for it may do good service to him whom it fits.” Your disclaimer, description, or bio goes here.
