NDP show

The NDP show was super fun. It contained many exciting and fun activities. There was singing of national day songs, speed boat chasing, military tanks, troops from the army, and many other fun things to watch. At first, when we arrived at school, we were given a bag which contained a light stick in the shape of a heart, a "hand" drum, 2 drinks, and many nice things. Then, we were given the burger which the school bought from KFC. After we had boarded the bus, we began to chatter excitedly and we talked about how the show would be like. When we arrived in marina, we had to wait an extremely long time before getting to sit down at the seats in the NDP parade. After we sat down, we talked and after some time, I began to read a book. Just before the show started, i began to eat my burger. Many other pupils were also eating their burgers at that time. The burger was quite delicious as it was filled with a juicy crunchy meat and 2 pieces of bread sandwiching it. When the show started, it was really interesting and we cheered and did the WAVE. Sometime or other, students would began beating their drums and cheering loudly. The NDP show was like a book. There were a few chapters and whenever a chapter ended, a small array of fireworks would shoot into the sky. There was this military defence show that showed us how important it was to keep Singapore safe and sound. In the military defence show, there was this speedboat chase, where 2 police boats, chased 2 criminal boats. It was extremely fun and wonderful. Later, there were these few performances and a lot of people were dancing and singing together in harmony. When the tanks rolled in, we cheered and roared and we were extremely happy. We took photos and were really happy and elated. Some time later, these men, all holding rifles, came out and pointed guns in the air. They fired and the gunshots made loud noises. Some people did not like it, but i loved it. At the end of the show, just before the fireworks, a heavy downpour came. It was raining cats and dogs. In the blink of an eye, everything and everyone that was exposed to the rain got wet. We put on the raincoats given to us in the funpack and sun students even brought umbrellas. The floor was flooded and the stairs were like a waterfall, with water gushing down at top speed, immediately making our shoes drenched. The rain was terrible as it splattered on the ground and battered on us relentlessly. We walked through the downpour and sometimes steped on the wet grass. When we reached the bustop to wait for the bus, we all heaved a sigh of relieve as we were now under shleter and the rain was getting lighter. When the bus finally arrived, we went into the bus, many of us were cold and all of us were drenched from head to toe. Finally, we reached the school, and our parents sent us back to our cosy and nice homes. Overall, The NDP show was an extremely nice show, and i was in a state of euphoria.

Ancient Greece

If i were a boy in ancient Greece, i would feel weird and i would like to explore places. Religion was an important part of Greek culture. People believed that the gods lived on top of a tall mountain called Mount Olympus.Greek homes were small, but they built huge stone temples and public buildings. They had statues on the inside and outside of gods and goddesses decorating the walls and ceilings. Theatres were an important part of Greek life. Huge theatres were built for shows to be played. Plays were very funny or very sad. Male actors performed all plays and it was against the law for women to act. Learning was extremely important for Greeks The sons of rich citizens had teachers when they were seven while for the poor, they could not afford teachers and had to teach their children what they could at home. Most of the girls in Greece did not attend school, instead, their mother taught them to make cloth and cook at home. Men and Women also wore a straight Chiton, which was a long and rectangular piece of cloth cut into two and held together at the shoulders by pins. I would love to attend their school and watch plays and see temples and some public buildings and learn more about the gods. I would also go and watch the first Olympic games in 776 BC, which continued until today. I think living in ancient greece would be fun and exciting and you can learn about many things and go around where the air is fresh and many trees around to provide oxygen. Overall, i think i would like living in ancient greece.
