MY PERSONAL OPINION REGARDING MY SCHOOL CANTEEN
Dear Diary,
Today I am going to share about my disappointment with my school canteen.
I am feel sad and frustrated to everyday eat 1[ ].I am extremely dissatisfied with everything when it
involves my school canteen. 2[ ].
To begin with, the food and drinks are prepared and served under filthy conditions. 3[ ]
Many times, I found dead flies, insects and hair in my food and drinks. It even happened to my friends
on numerous occasions. Additionally, I always noticed that the canteen workers 4 [ ]. This has caused
me and my friends to boycott the canteen and bring food from homes.
Dear Diary,
It is not easy for mum to always prepare food for me and I end up eating same food or cereal or
precooked food. I am worried of my health. End to this.
Next, the cleanliness of the canteen surroundings leaves a lot to be complained. I see with my own eyes,
the canteen workers being extremely filthy. The hardly wash their hands and they do not dispose the
rubbish and food waste efficiently. 5[ ]. This makes the premises smell and sometimes the clogged
drains will overflow on rainy days. In such circumstances my shoes will get wet with dirty, oil and I can’t
bear the smell of rotten food. I even vomited many times!
Dear Diary,
It is not easy to stay hungry for long.
I don’t understand why are the school authorities keeping quiet over this? 6[ ]. Will my school
authorities only act when me or any of my friends suffer of food poisoning or they are waiting for an
outbreak of food poisoning?.
I really hope this will change and we will school get a new canteen management. I hope my school will
do something to upgrade the conditions of my canteen.

Choosing House Plants
In most ways, indoor gardening is preferable to outdoor. Rain, wind, storms and frost impede progress
outside, whereas an indoor routine can be established without worrying about what is going on outside
the window. Plants in pots are mobile, too. 1[ ] More sun, less sun, higher or lower levels, a group
instead of an orderly row, a mixed bowl or a dish garden-all provide fresh interest and the variety is
endless. There should be no time to spend regretting the gardens of former times. The ways in which
plants can be displayed in various settings, such as offices, hospitals, store windows, conference rooms,
commercial premises and hotels, are limitless, but in domestic surroundings the plants are part of the
home and should share their position with the owners and with the furniture, whether period or
contemporary, to make a harmonious whole. 2 [ ] If there are brightly colored curtains or upholstery,
however, one should not forget to consider them when choosing a plant with colored flowers, leaves or
berries.The choice of plants is very wide, but for the beginner it is wiser to start with a few hardy plants,
to gradually become used to their requirements, the diseases which may attack them, the amount of
water they need at various times of the year and the feeding they may require. It is useless to choose
plants for appearance only, for choice must depend primarily on the growing conditions required.
3[ ] Hardy plants have a certain tolerance for fluctuating temperatures and can overlook neglect in
matters such as watering and feeding for short periods.Some plants are able to thrive in shady
conditions because the light that they get indoors approximates their natural habitat, the forests of
Malaysia or tropical South America, areas from which the vast majority of house plants originate. It is
not usually possible to give plants ideal growing conditions in a room primarily adjusted to the needs of
personal living. Even well-lit rooms are shady in comparison with open conditions in gardens and, as
light enters a room mainly through its windows, its intensity and duration depends on their exposure. 4[
] Especially near windows, minimum temperature is crucial. It should be consistently maintained at not
less than 50°F, although a number of plants can thrive in a temperature of 5° less. In apartments, in
particular, a more difficult problem may be overheating and loss of humidity.A dry atmosphere causes
moisture loss from leaves, roots and soil. 5 [ ] One of the easiest ways to increase humidity is to put the
plant pot into a larger container and to fill the extra space between outside container and inner pot with
something absorbent, such as peat moss, which can be kept permanently moist. 6 [ ] Among them are
Sansevieria, Pittosporum, Sedum, Grevillea and Aspidistra. Plants that appreciate a dry atmosphere
usually like as much light as possible. All house plants should be removed before a room is painted,
although most are unaffected by tobacco smoke.
