1. Having a Facebook account is beneficial for all school students. What do you think about this?
I am sure that everyone I know owns at least 1 Facebook account. And have you ever
wondered why you use Facebook? Not so long ago, school students lived in a world without Facebook,
the social networking site that launched in 2004 and now has over 500 million users. For today’s
school students, Facebook has become as commonplace as school uniforms or eating at the school
canteen.
Facebook is social software, which is the reason why this web is appealing to the school
students. These students all the time correspond or communicate explicitly concerning their lives,
sharing opinion, interests, and academics. Majority of us share ideas or information in open
surroundings via the social feature of Facebook and it creates fun and its rapidity of learning
knowledge.
By engaging with friends, Facebook users are honing the ways in which they can collaborate
with others in groups. ______________________________________________________________

In summary, school students who do not have Facebook accounts are missing out on a great opportunity to
use social networking to inspire them to learn and share using the technology in transparent manner. The school
authority should embrace ICT tools like Facebook as a medium to excite and educate the school students. A rare feat
in the modern educational experience.

too little food counters
dirty and clogged drains – smelly
food – expensive and lacks variety
inadequate food – late comers have nothing to buy, to eat
cold food – not fresh
rude canteen workers
slippery floor – oily and greasy

4. My Most Embarrassing Situation
Everyone has been embarrassed at one time or another. It is that moment in time when you wish the earth
would open up and swallow you. The anxiety and discomfort feltduring that time which may only last a few seconds
feels like time has stood still.

It was indeed an eye-opening experience for me. I have learnt that when people laugh at you, you should
laugh along. You must not take yourself seriously. Learn to look at yourself through other people’s eyes and you
will realize that most of the time when they laugh at you, they just want to have some fun. They mean no harm. If
you can make people laugh, it’s like bringing sunshine into their lives and as someone said, ‘those who bring
sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.’

5. What Would You Do if You Had A Lot of Money
When I was small, I often dreamt about being rich as my parents were quite poor. We had difficulty making ends
meet each month. So, if I had a lot of money, I would certainly fulfill my dreams. First and foremost, I would buy a house
for my parents, preferably a bungalow, in a quiet town. I would equip the house with the latest technology so that it
would be a smart home. My mother would have a state-of-the-art kitchen as she loves cooking. I would also get a maid
to help her with the household chores. I will ensure that my family is comfortably settled in this house.
The second thing I would do is to go on a world tour with my parents. _______________________________

Apart from that, I could finally go on a shopping spree, which is my favorite pastime. ___________________

Besides shopping, I would also remember the poor and the less fortunate. ___________________________

Finally, I would take the opportunity to further my studies. When I was younger, my parents could not afford to
send me overseas. So, I would love to pursue a course in interior decorating in London and once I graduate, I would
like to set up my own business with the rest of the money. They say that a fool and his money are soon parted. Thus, I
would be very careful with how I spend my money. I would invest my money with my parents’ advice and keep some
for rainy days.
