WEEK 2 - Take a Journey

From my home to school, I just need to walk around 7 minutes. So I go to school and go home on foot every day. I realized that I had not explored around my house so I decided to look at it. One day, after class I was on the way to my home and I didn't go back to home. I just went straight and I found something new. There were many beautiful apartments behind my house and there was a little park and a kindergarten. There were lots of trees and plants in the park. I also saw many people were doing exercises like running in the park and some kids were playing the swing. In that time I thought I found a good place to go for a walk. If I didn't decide to do it, maybe I would not find this place. It's very interesting to go to somewhere you haven't gone before. Maybe you will get a surprise:)

WEEK 1 -- A PICTURE A WEEK

Last Sunday, my friends and I went to the Universal Studios Singapore. We all spent a very good time there. There are lots of different amusement parks. Like Hollywood, New York, Ancient Egypt etc. We also saw many movie characters there like Minions, Shrek and Transformers etc. As you can the picture are minions. They are cute, aren't they? All the buildings were very interesting and beautiful. We just felt like going to another world, an interesting and funny world! There were also many amusement facilities there. Such as the Roller Coaster with the different themes and rafting. It was very exciting. During the whole process of playing, we heard many screams. So it was a little scared but it was really funny! This place it’s worth to visit it with your friends or family. You will have a great time in there!
