Dear Integrity 4,

Here's this week's topic for discussion,

'Should Singlish be the official language in Singapore?'

Bear in mind that you will have to take a stand on this issue and cite reasons for it via PEEL. Once again, cite sources if possible. The word count will be the same, 200 to 300 words.

The deadline for this piece of work will be at 11:59 p.m. on 12 July 2009. Have fun working on this topic!

Regards,
Ms Chin

Dear Integrity 4,

Here's the journal entry of the week:

"Are Singaporeans gracious and socially responsible? Discuss."

There are a lot of things in which you can explore in this topic, especially in view of the H1N1 virus and how Singaporeans are managing the situation on an individual basis.

Take note that you must utilise PEEL in your discussion and cite sources if possible. Word count will be 200 to 300 words.

In view of the fact that this journal entry has been posted last, I will extend the deadline to 11:59 p.m. on Monday (6 July 2009).

By the way, HAPPY YOUTH DAY and I hope that everyone has gotten your youth day present from me via Clement Tan.

Ms Chin
