Here are some questions that will help you to write your reflection:

1. What do you mean by 'friendship'?
2. Why do you think it is important to have friends?
3. How can you develop friendship with others?
4. Do you think it is important for Singaporeans to be friendly with people of other countries? Why?
5. Did you enjoy the activities during our school International Friendship Day?
6. Which activities did you enjoy? Why?
7. What other activities can you suggest to be included in the International Friendship Day celebration next year?

I hope you will really reflect on the topic so that you can write copiously. One or two lines are not adequate as reflection. It would be interesting if you could include some photographs in your post.

Hope to read your reflection soon.

Reflection 2 : My Dream

Thursday, April 3, 2008

I'm sure all of us dream of becoming somebody, owning something or doing something which we really want to do. Whatever it is, it will not be possible to realise our dream if we do not have a plan. In this reflection, I would like you to tell me about your dream.

Here are some questions that may help you write down your reflection:

a) What is your dream?
b) Why do you think this dream is so important to you?
c) How do you plan to realise your dream?
d) Do you think people should have dreams? Why?

Please write as much as you can to allow me to have a better idea of what your dream is.

May all of you 'live the dream'!
