Dark ominous clouds loomed in the gloomy skies. A flash of lightning streaked (0) along the
grey sky followed by a distant rumble. Then, a deafening clap of thunder pierced the sky. I
raced outside and grabbed the day's laundry from the clothes line. Mum (9) but Dad were out
of town, so I was to hold the fort till they returned. It (10) were a huge responsibility as I had

scratching sound at the front door, I could see a dark shadow from (14) beside the gap in the
door. A shiver ran up my spine. I (15) closing my eyes tight and stuffed my pillows to my

Mr and Mrs Koo’s Garden

My parents, Mr and Mrs Koo, are proud of their garden. They have 55 bonsai trees

which are over 25 years old. I love watching them sculpt the bonsai trees which they

patiently do once every fortnight. My father says that we need to do it often so that

the trees don’t grow out of shape. Sometimes, they remove the bonsai plants from

their pots to trim their roots. This can be a very messy affair but they insist it is

important so that the roots do not rot.

Other than bonsai plants, there are many fruit trees which thrive under their care. In

the centre of the garden is a 20- year old rambutan tree which my grandfather

planted. Along with rambutan tree, the ciku, pomegranate, and lemon trees also

provide us and our neighbours with may fruits. Sometimes, I help them cover the

fruits with bags to protect them from the birds and squirrels.

My parents’ latest project is a vegetable garden. They plan to grow mint, basil, spring

onions and parsley. Sometimes, I think the garden is too much to maintain but they

say it’s a relaxing pastime and the best stress reliever. Maybe I will join them so that

I can also ease the stress in my life.

Bullying

Bullying is a social problem as it causes harm to the victims. Bullying can happen in school.
It usually starts when a student does things that may hurt another student physically or mentally.
The bully may hit or beat up the victim or use nasty words to frighten the victim.

Why do some students like to bully others? According to school counsellors, some bullies
hurt others to make themselves look tough, while others simply want to get attention. There are
some bullies who may not realise that their behaviour is wrong. Therefore, the counsellors often
talk to the bullies and try to find ways to make them feel good about themselves. They
recommend these bullies to take up games and sports to discipline themselves. After listening to
the advice, some of them get involved in co-curricular activities. When they get to represent the
school in these activities, the bullies will start to feel good about themselves and stop the bullying.

Bullies often target people who are quiet, weak and won’t stand up for themselves. The
victims of bullying often feel scared, sad and unsafe. If these victims are bullied over a long period,
they lose confidence in themselves. They may even end up with mental issues.

Here are a few ways to stop bullying in schools. If someone starts to bully a student, the
student should inform a teacher or a counsellor. Another way is to spend more time with a group
of students. Bullies seldom pick on students who are in a group. Also, the student who is a victim
should be brave for once and tell the bully in the face to stop. After saying that, just walk away.
Bullies are often taken aback by this. Finally, consider taking up self- defence classes like karate
and taekwondo. These classes can help to build up confidence that is lacking in the victims.

Everyone is school should help to get rid of bullying. Put up posters to educate on the
harmful effects of bullying. Only when bullying stops can schools become safer and happier place
for all.
