Do you like living in your country? Why or why not?

I like living in Singapore as I have spent most of my life here. I grew up here and hence, I have much more friends here than in Philippines, though all my relatives are there. Singapore is also a very safe country, compared to other countries and natural disasters do not occur here. The government also encourages the people living here to keep the country clean and green by asking the people to apply the 3R's in their daily lives (reduce, reuse, recycle) and etc. Singapore also has strict security and thus, there are not much crimes and the government also helps the citizens in need. Singaporeans are also really helpful, in terms of helping other countries, charities and so on.

English Dicusion

I love living in Singapore it is my place of birth and my homeland. Although I like living in Singapore, I do not like some of the citizens and PRs here as they are sometimes rude or bossy.
There are a few reasons why I like living in Singapore. The first is we are living near the equator so we do not experience the four seasons. The second is there are no major natural disasters even though there are sightings of water spouts near Sentosa and Marina Bay. The third and foremost is that I grew up here and all my friends live here although there are a few from overseas and those who have migrated.
Singapore now encourages us to be environmentally-friendly which I support and that is one of the reasons I love living Singapore. Singapore's government also cares about the citizens in need and tries to help them with their problems.
These are few of the reasons why I like living in Singapore.

Do you like living in your country?Why or why not?

Although I feel that Singapore is a safe country , I still think that there are many other countries that are better than Singapore , like , Japan , Korea , Australia , etc. These countries have many facinating histories , games , animals and many other things . Another reason why I feel that Singapore isn't the country that i like to live in is mainly because , Singapore has many bugs and irritating spiders . Also , in some parts of Singapore , the air is not as fresh as other countries . I think that almost every part of Singapore is a human environment (based on the geography lessons), and thus there are lesser trees when compared with other countries . Lastly , Singapore does not have the four seasons but most countries do .

Senario 3 (Anger)

'Ahhh!' I screamed in torror as I saw my brand new Nike bag had pen marks all over. Even worse,there was cracked eggs and my books were ruined and my favourite pencil case was found in the dustbin,cut into shreds. 'WHO DID THIS? YOU DID BETTER OWN UP OR ELSE I WILL TELL THE TEACHER!' I cried. But nobody seemed to hear my words. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I could not stand it any longer and stormed out of the room,making my way to the teachers' staff room.

Senario 1(Fear)

I took a deep breath to steady my racing heart,but it was no use. My legs were trembling like a jelly. 'Oh no! What should I do?' I thought. Fear stricken as I saw the man's thin lips curled into a sneer and pull out a sharp knife in front of me and said,'Give me all your money or you will die!' 'But...but...' I stuttered fearfully. I don't have any money.' 'Oh really?' the man panicked but regain his conscious in no time. 'Then i have no choice but to kill you...'

Do you like living in your country? Why or why not?

I like living in Singapore because I feel that Singapore is quite safe compared to the other countries.
And, Singapore is also spared from natural disasters like Earthquakes, Tsunami, Volcano, Tornado etc. Singapore is also clean and a green environment for us to live in. All the people are encouraged to recycle, reuse , and reduce in order to save the Earth. Singapore is really a good place to live in. When someone breaks the rules, the person would get what they deserved. Singapore's governments are not corrupt therefore, no matter how people try to bribe them, they would not let the people off. Singaporeans are also very kind. For example, people would actually donate money to the charity as the money are actually for the needy who don't have enough money for their illness. Or donate food to those who are poor and can't find a job to support themselves. Many schools in Singapore have students who are also having fundraising to help those in need.
