Summary: Chengdu's officials found an easy way to beauty their city by spraying green dye on to the yellow grasses. The chemical solution called Top Green Turf Greening Agent. The dye used is environmental friendly as is not toxic and have been selling for at least five or six years. the dyes are sold to government clients and golf courses. The colour lasts for ten to 14 weeks and is not washed away by the rain. Even mountains have been painted green in order to seem verdant from the air.
opinion: I think that the government should not spent money on something such as beauty the country as they can spent the money on education purpose. If the government wants to beauty the country they should do it using the natural method.

Opinion:
I think
that social media has its pros and cons. Social media enables people to be able
to communicate more easily and they do not need a direct meet up with each
other. This also cause may people to fight with each other in real life or they
will start to cyber bully each other. In Canada, there are many cases of people
getting cyber bullied through social media websites therefore leading to her
death.

JUNTIAN - IN FUTURE PLS FOLLOW MY SAMPLE POST (SUMMARY & OPINION)
In recent years, the number of people with a ‘social life’ had shot up very quickly. With 1.06 billion active Facebook users and more than 200 million Twitter users world-wide, it is no surprise that teenagers make up a big portion of these numbers. Social network allows them to get a ‘life-update’ of what their friends are doing, and even international news as soon as they are publicized. Therefore, social media is often seen as something beneficial, and the number favorite source of news and also a tool of communication for teenagers.

Therefore, social media is often seen as something beneficial, and the number favorite source of news and also a tool of communication for teenagers.
On the flip
side, social media are increasingly being abused. Many individuals have been
using them as a way to get their evil intentions done. For example, a group of teenagers
may use social networks to post rumors and photos of another person to defame
him or her. There are also several cases of scam carried out online where
people pay heavy sums to purchase ‘branded goods’, but received nothing in the
end.
Therefore,
as we enjoy the benefits of this brilliant invention, we must always be wary
and always take note of our behavior online.
School asks: Gifted or just well-prepared? by Jun Tian
Source:
Summary: Parents are now sending their children to attend programs to help them prepare for pre-school tests that will determine if they make it to the gifted class. Parents see it as a must for their children to be in the gifted classes as they feel that it is more beneficial, and certainly reflect better on their children. Therefore, their children are sent to attend such courses to help them to be more prepared. However, over the years, there are more cases of these “gifted” students dropping out of the course they are put into because of the test. It becomes evident that they were in the class only because they were prepared for it, and not because they were really gifted. The number of children making it to the gifted course have also increased by several times, showing that the test is becoming quite useless as a gauge of a student’s true ability. The private school association is also looking into the matter now.

Opinion: I feel
that this situation is not only found in the New York City, but also in most
major countries including Singapore. Parents are afraid that their children might
lose out to their peers, and are therefore sending them to lots of classes and
courses. This however may not be the best solution since students may become
over dependent, and in the future they might not be able to handle the fact
that they no longer have help, affecting their results.
LiveStock Virus IN Farms by Zhi Gang
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21609335
Summary: In England and Wales, and in North Ireland, a virus has been detected in 1,531 farms, in cattle, sheep, alpacas and goats. This virus is found to be spread by insects bites by midges or mosquitoes. This disease cause fever, reduced milk yields and loss of appetite in adult cattle. It may also lead to birth defects and stillbirths in newborn sheep, cattle and goats.
Opinion: Although I understand that the England has made a vaccine for the virus but it has not been approved, I think that the government should take actions as quickly as possible. This is because, the virus will affect the farmers in England who depends on these animals to earn money for their livelihood. However, I am not saying that they should take quick actions but without taking any safety measures. The vaccine must not be harmful to our body when we eat these animals, if not our health affected from it.
