Talk about your country.

My country is Singapore. Singapore is a small island lying
to the south of the Malay Peninsula. It has an area of 600
square kilometers and a population of about 2.6 million
people. Singapore is a multi-racial society, where Chinese,
Malays and Indians live in harmony. It is a tolerant society,
in which no one is labeled, condemned or persecuted
because he thinks differently, behaves differently or
worships a different god.

Singapore is a clean city. Littering is an offence and
people caught littering are severely punished.
Singaporeans take great pain to keep their city clean.

Tourism is one of the main sources of income to
Singapore. Tourists from all over the world flock to this
paradise island. The various cultures and traditions of the
people fascinate the tourists. There are many places of
interest in Singapore. The zoological garden is one of the
tourist attractions. Many different species of animals from
all over the world can be found here. The Bird Park is
another place of interest. There are about six hundred
different species. The man-made waterfall is said to be the
highest of man-made waterfalls. The Changi International
Airport is one of the best airports in the world.

Singapore is a fast developing country. It is a very popular
country with hardworking people.

Talk about your two interesting classmates.

Prefects are driven crazy by our mischief, teachers are
perplexed by the lack of consistency in our work, but the
principal is always impressed by our angelic behavior
every time he enters our “little home”. It may seem, from
this description, that we are actors or professional
deceivers. We are, however, a group of teenagers who
spend most of our time together in our cramped but cozy
classroom.

Our school is an all-girl school. Thus where behavior
within the classroom is concerned, we are completely
uninhibited. It is no wonder that an observer can often see
unusual manifestations of peculiar behavior. There are two
particular interesting characters in my class who, I am
sure, I will remember for a long time.

The first one is “Hero” as we call her. She is a pretty girl,
with dimpled rosy cheeks. However, her build does not
suit her lovely face. She has straight shoulders that swing
from side to side when she walks, and she even walks like
a man. She is tall and has strong muscular legs. She has
earned her title justly as she always defends us when big
boys from the neighboring schools bully us. She even
fights for us. She does not have to worry about revealing
too much of her legs while fighting as she perpetually
wears knee-length shorts under her skirt.

The funny thing is that none of the girls envy her beautiful
face, instead, her masculinity is the object of their

admiration. Some girls will even slip little gifts into her bag.
I have heard that girls are having a crush on her. Well,
whatever it is, I always feel that our “Hero” will one day be
a beautiful lady, admired and courted by many men.

The other character is a highly respected one. We call her
our very own “Computer” as she is so good at solving
mathematical problems. While most of us spend hours
trying to solve a difficult sum, she does it while walking to
the canteen during break. There was one instance when
she solved a problem that our Senior Maths teacher could
not solve.

The most interesting thing about her is that she does not
look intelligent at all. She does not wear thick glasses
which is typical of the intelligent ones in our school. She is
also not the quiet, inhibited and serious type. She mixes
freely with all of us. In fact, her closest friends are those
who are weak in their studies. She chooses them to be her
friends; and she never hesitates to help them with their
problems with such clarity that our maths teacher often
uses her skill and help in the classroom to advantage. I
think “Computer” has great potential and one day she will
make it to the ranks of the great mathematicians and may
even win a “Nobel prize”. As time and space does not
allow for a description of a few more characters in my
class, I conclude with the satisfaction that I have written
about the two most interesting ones. I am sure these will
be remembered by all of us for a long time.
