Name:Chelza Lee
Class:p6Faith
Ans:1.As I know,I feel that the public bus fares are getting higher.2.As a student,I feel that SOMETIMES the teachers are giving us a little too much homework.I feel that sometimes it is a little unfair because some of us have mother-tongue homework and some don't.
(1.)Yes,HDB flats,Condos,cars,food and living expenses are rising even the COE is more expensive then a car.
(2.) It is getting stressful and hard as we are trying to compete with other countries.
1.yes.the HBD flats is getting expensive
2. time management is important. when you know know how to manage your time, I dont think that it will not be too stressful
1)No,car and housing estate increases with the COE and the COV.
2)It okay for to manage the homework but the key to do our is UNDERSTANDING the homeworks.
1. I agree that the cost of living is rising.Example:the price of cars and houses are rising.
2.I find it quite stressful especially in Primary 6 as there is a lot of homework.In the weekends, instead of enjoying my time with my family, I will be dong homework. Nearing the examinations, my teachers also give everybody a lot of homework that I have no time to revise for my examinations.
1) I agree that the cost of living is rising. (E.G :the price of houses,oil(?) and more are rising
2)I agree to the people.It would be more stressful for the P6s as its PSLE. The teachers would give us lots of homework.Sometimes, i dont have the time to even revise and rest! So, i think teachers should reduce the amount of work and plus SAVE THE EARTH! :) :)
1) I agree that the cost of living is rising. Example: the price of electricity and water.
2) I think the teachers giving us homework is alright but sometimes, they tend to give too many. Besides, our parents also give us homework which make us more stress, and have no time to revise.
1)I agree that the cost of living is rising.E.g.The price of HDB flats,cars,electricity,condominiums, school fees and food.
2)I think that it is quite stressful especially in Primary 6 because sometimes teachers will give a lot of homework.However, I understand that teachers give us homework because it will help us to practice and revise our work. But, if they give too much homework,I will have to complete them and by the time I finish all of my homework,it is already quite late at night,and I will not be able to get enough sleep.during lessons the next day,I will not be able to concentrate well.
Yes, I agree.
The taxi fare is increasing, buying stationeries in bookstores are also getting more expensive.
I find it abit stressful but i think as a student, we need a little stress to motivate ourselves.
1) I agree that the cost of living is increasing eg. the price to rent a HDB flat is increasing.
2) Maybe sometimes the teachers give us a little too much homework and not to forget that some people have tuition or parents homework. But I guess it's okay as long as you can manage your time well.
-I agree that the cost of living is rising.(Etc:The fees of food and our things that we need ,the price of a house.]
-I feel that sometimes it is quite stressful as sometimes teachers give us too much homework and when we go home we might have tuition,but it is quite okay if we plan our time properly.
1. Sort of but its ok
2.Its quite ok still can cope.
1)Yes.Now the HDB is getting expensive.
2)I feel that seldom days get alot of homework in one day(about 5) and need to hand in on the next day.It is very stressful to me because i can't sleep early for the next day and feeling tired when i go to school.
