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...'

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.

In school we were also taught how to save the Earth. Singapore also have a fair goverment and they help Singaporeans when they are in need.

Personally, I sometimes dislike living in Singapore and other times like living in Singapore. I dislike living in Singapore as sometimes, the government seems to make some wrong decisions, for example, if the government already does not want people to gamble due to that gambling breaks families and many other stuff, then why did they allow a casino in Singapore? The prices of stuff are getting costly each year, it is also getting too crowded due to the permaneant residents and maybe giving birth to too many babies. I like living in Singapore as Singapore is always 'upgrading' every year. Different, special and new buildings, events would always seem to pop up during the next year or so. Singapore is also very clean (except in some places) and people are really kind due to all the charities, fundraisers and C.I.P projects and how schools are encouraging students to help out more. It is very safe and even when NS men had finished their NS training for 2 years, they are still commanded to go back to train or 'revise' what they learnt. Singapore is also save from natural disasters.

I like singapore as it is my birthplace which contains many memories in it. I think Singapore is known as the green city in other countries.One point that I like Singapore is that when I walk around, most likely I will see trees and not rubbish strewn on the ground. Singaporeans are encouraged to carry out the three 'R's . I think Singaporeans can be considered kind and generous as if there is a charity show, they will try their best in helping them. Singapore is a safe place as there is no terrorism happening. Although Singapore is small country, many foriegner are attracted to tour around or stay at here. Compared to some other countries ,Singapore has street lights or trees neatly in row . When you are leaving the Changi Airport, you will see the road is flank by rows of beautiful trees which give you a pleasant feeling of a home .

I like living in Singapore as this is my home country. Singapore's security is one of the best in the world. As Singaporeans do their part to keep the environment clean, it is no wonder people from other countries called us the green city. There are also no riots or corruptions happening in our country. Singapore's location has also made us the best place to live in, as we are in the middle of the Earth, near the equator, so there are no disasters happening here. Like the recent earthquake that happened in Haiti. How Singaporeans have all lend a helping hand in donating charitably. We also have a fair government that keeps order in our country. But our country still have space for improvement to make it a better life for you and me.
Living simply means that i have my family and my friends with me, to support me, and that i have memories of all the happy times we had spent together. So that explains why i like Singapore.

Singapore is clean compared to some other countries, and the crime rates are relatively low.Plus, our country is protected against natural disasters (due to some geological reason), so it is one of the safest countries in the world. Also, Singapore is richer than some countries, and its education system is quite good. And Singapore is very charitable, aiding whichever country is in need, the most recent example being the Haitian Earthquake at Port-au-Prince. However, one of our rules fall in the Book Of Weird Rules (literally), and that is 'No Gum Allowed'. That's one thing I don't like about Singapore. But other than that, yes, I like living in Singapore.

The crime rate in Singapore is also quite low. Natural disasters are unlikely to happen in Singapore. The universities in Singapore is also recognised. Singapore leaves some good and bad memories .There are very few homeless people in Singapore as there are homes like the old folk's home. We Singaporeans always raise funds for the needy and the disabled.I hope Singapore will continue progress and that Singaporeans will play a part in keeping Singapore a safe and clean country for people to live in.
