the second week's news
hi there again...here are the news....
1)Vegatable price rise 10-15% due to rainy season
Vegetable prices have risen by 10 to 15 percent on average during the past month due to the rainy season. The rainy season, which began a month earlier this year, has affected harvests in Malaysia, where half of Singapore's vegetable imports come from. The rains have also affected chilli harvests in Thailand, Vietnam and other neighbouring countries.
My opinion: Its very hard that vegatable price is higher than the usual price it is because poorer families might not have enough money just to buy vegatable for food. Even some other neighbouring countries the harvesting of the vegetable is affected so probably they also are having the same problems as us here in Singapore.This will affect us and my family because we need to buy the vegetables which is good for our health in a higher price.I hope there is a balance of weather so the vegatables and plants grow better and healthier but its impossible. And so i think we should think twice onhow to spend our money and not buy all the uneccesary things.
2) The preparations for the Youth Olympic Games on track despite the financial crisis
Singapore is all set to host the first Asian Youth Games in 2009. President of the Singapore National Olympic Council Teo Chee Hean said the financial crisis may be making it more difficult to get sponsorship, but preparations are going well.
My opinion: Its great that the preparations for the first youth olympic games is going well inspite of the financial crisis as it is a golden oppurtunity for singapore to host one of the olympic games. Even if its harder to sponsorship i know they can get some sponsorship even there is the global financial crisis. i also hope that the financial crisis would be solved and stopped, it is making the food, oil and other products to have high price. i hope that US Pres. Barack Obama would have something for this financial crisis to stop.
plz comment ty=)

Dear Riz,
An improvement is seen here. Good. Keep trying.
1) Since hoping for good weather is out of question, what can humans do about it? In recent years, the weather started to get unpredictable due to Green house effect and various human activities. Thus, you can bring in Green efforts you know and explain how you can help in Green efforts in your capacity as a pupil.
2)Financial crisis can't be stopped easily as it happened due to massive lack of confidence in the financial market. Why don't you read up more about this and what Obama has in plan to ease the crisis?

1)as a pupil, we can organize an event that we pupils can promote to be more careful of what we are doing,to stop the greenhouse effect.we can stop it by not burning things because it give out carbon dioxide that causes global warming.We also can also go places to collect different things that can be recycled and the others that cant be recycled can be made into another new made by our hands.
2)as i what i had researched and found out that this are his plans:
1a)Barack Obama will provide a tax cut for working families:
Obama and Biden will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 95 percent of working Americans the tax relief they need. They will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family.
b)Provide tax relief for small businesses and startups:
Obama and Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on startup and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation.
c)Fight for fair trade:
Obama and Biden will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. They will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world.
i hope this paln will chnage the future and stop the crisis.

Dear Riz,
1) Great ideas. Still need to brush up your sentence structures by reading regularly.
2) Great research done. The steps are clear. These steps will definitely help. Eg by providing tax relief for working families, he is encouraging Americans to work. In this way, they would be able to spend money in the market and so businesses will have business. When this happens, they will be able to employ workers. Then people will not be unemployed. Generally, his measures focus on providing jobs and income for American families. :-) Are you clearer about this now?
