Letter OF COMPLAINT!
7 Sunrise Place
Singapore 123557
21st April 2010
Mrs Saraspathy Menon
Principle
Chong Boon Secondary School
Dear Ms Menon,
My friends and I have been going to the school library lately to do some self-studying. However, my friends and I are unhappy about a few incidents which took place recently. I am writing this letter to inform you about the incidents and I hope that you can take actions so that the library can return to a favourable environment and other people can study well in there.
There was this group of student that is so rude to the librarian that they argued with the librarian. The student was swearing at the librarian loudly. Despite of the fact that the librarian was older than them, they still did not care and continued to do so. I personally feel that those students should be punished as swearing is not an appropriate behaviour.Some students even smuggled food and drinks and even spilled their drinks on the table, attracting ants and other pest as it is a sweet drink.

Kids tempt to cool themselves with the air conditional especially after P.E. There is this boy who came into the library after P.E his T-shirt is soaking wet with his sweat as time went by the smell of his sweat had caused the library to stink. We should not allow students wearing shirts that are soaked with sweat to come into the library they should at least change into a new set of clothes before coming in.

A group of students were playing internet games with the library’s computer. While the other group of students were waiting for their turn to use the computer so that they can do their project. When they could not wait any longer, they asked politely towards the students to let them use the computer however the students playing the computers refused. I think we should set a limit of time for students using the computer especially for gaming.
The library has now become a place that is no longer suitable for studying or a place to do projects. As the principle of the school I hope you can do something about this inconsiderate behaviours or performance by the students.
Yours Sincerely,
Zhi De

International Friendship Day

International Friendship Day
1. What are the relationships that are important to you within the school context?
The relationships between the teachers or classmates are equally important to me. I think that in order to study or learn well in class there must be a good understanding between the teachers and a student. Nobody wants to be in a class which has the teacher he or she hate.( I am just saying) Class mates are counted as important as without classmates you won’t be able to do group work. Besides class mates could also cheer you on when you are in a bad mood or share the joy with them when you are in a good mood.
2. What do you know about the history of your school/CCA?
I know that my school has quite a long history but I do not know any of its events nor my CCA history. I know that our school will annually host a Sports Fiesta or a Growth a day as events for the school to make school more interesting for students.
3. Share a story about your school/CCA. It can be funny ones, successful ones and difficult ones.
I remember when I first join my CCA as a Multimedia Club member we don’t really have much to do all I did was to slack through the entire hour and go home. It was very relaxing.
4. Have the stories you heard from your classmates changed the way you view/feel about your school?
I heard some rumours when I in primary school that Chong Boon is not a very nice school to be in. However I chose Chong Boon as a second choice still as it was near my house and in is convenient but I found Chong Boon not a bad as the rumours were there are bad kids in Chong Boon but not all of them are bad kids. I still feel that Chong Boon is a very interesting school as there are many events held every year.

< Durian
Durian is a very unique fruit. Its shell has sharp pointy spikes and inside of the fruit have soft tender yellow flesh. There are bitter or sweet durians. Durian is very popular with the locals in Singapore. However durians are not well liked by some people as they find it stinky or disgusting. The outer layer design of the building, Esplanade has a similar shape with a durian.
