I think they should make a big theme park. There will be four places to explore - Water Park, Animal Park, Air Park and Haunted Park. The Water Park will have a small boat that has four seats and will go down a long slide. There will also be many rides that will make you wet. The Animal Park will have a train going through a fake forest that has fake animals. There would be other rides that you would see other animals, some are fake and some are real. The Air Park will have sky diving and a hot air balloon. There will be other rides that will take you to the sky. The Haunted Park will have a haunted house and a rollercoaster that goes through the haunted house. It will have other rides that will make people scream and shout. There will be a gift shop at the exit. I think this will help get more visitors and tourists as it is a new attraction!

I would like to see Disneyland in Sentosa. I think that when you go to Disneyland, it gives you quality time with your friends and family. It will also attract a lot of foreign visitors and earn a lot of money to upgrade the systems. There will be many fun games that are related to Disney cartoons. It will also promote Sentosa by having more visitors at other attractions. Singaporeans do not need to travel to other countries to visit Disneyland so they are can save a lot of money on airplane tickets.

I would like to see new hotels in Sentosa and I would want to see new cable cars which are bigger than the current ones. Having new, huge roller coasters in Sentosa would attract more tourists and this in turn would boost the country's economy.
It would be good to build a huge castle in Sentosa so that I could stay there with my friends when we go there for a trip. It would be like a hotel for us! Hopefully, it would not   cost us too much money to stay in a castle!

Over the years, I have offered my seats to the elderly and pregnant women in the buses or trains. When I see that no one is giving up seats to the elderly, I would feel extremely angry and disappointed. The people on board will either pretend to sleep or look at other places.

Last year when I was in Japan for holidays, I had a very good impression of the country because the people there do not litter even though there are very few dustbins around. When we took the escalator, the people did not litter even though there were very few dustbins around. When we took the escalator, the people were very disciplined as they always keep to the left side of the escalator to allow those who were in a hurry to use the right side. When I took a train at Shinjuku, I gave up my seat to an old lady. She thanked me so profusely that I felt a bit embarrassed. Although I do not understand Japanese, I could feel her praising me. Japanese also do not talk loudly or noisily. I hope Singapore will become a more courteous and gracious society like Japan.

I often eat out at fast food outlets. However, whenever I got a table, the leftovers tend to be very messy. I hope people will be kinder and more considerate as to clear the leftovers and place them in the bins. We must treat everyone with politeness. A word of kindness goes a very long way!

Singapore has launched a number of courtesy campaigns over the years to encourage young children to show graciousness and kindness. It has really a great effect on some of our friends. I could see that some of our friends are behaving in a better manner.

When I was in Primary Three, there was a friend of mine who was very close to her best friend. She was hurt and lonely when her best friend shockingly abandoned her and snatched all her friends. I was afraid that she would be emotionally hurt so I decided to help her win back her former friends. I was happy to see her laughing again with her friends.

Humans are not always perfect. We make mistakes and cheat in the name of greediness to win. But, that does not mean we should give up being kind to others and show graciousness. We still need to do our best to be good students with sound values. If you have done something bad in the past, think and promise yourself that you will not do that again. Start by being a well-mannered pupil first. Who knows, people in different places in the world would be surprised and encouraged by your simple gesture of kindness, graciousness, respect, compassion and generosity wherever you go!
