ReflectionAfter watching the video, I felt that even though many singaporean are living in other country like china, they still felt that their home is still singapore.This shows that no matter where they are, they still had a sense of belonging for singapore.Most of them felt that as a singaporean, they should always have a sense of belonging for singapore as singapore is their home which they are borned.
I felt that it is important to have a sense of belonging for your own country.I am a singaporean too.However, I still want to live in my country no matter what. I enjoyed living in singapore.It was a peace country with many races living in the same country. I have been to other countries but I felt that living in singapore is more suitable for me. It is not easy to live in a foreign country especially when you are alone.
I will live in singapore the rest of my live as I want to this great country where I was born, grow, study in. As I am already used to living in singapore for the past 10 over years.I love singapore!

My Ambition
My ambition was to be to become a national badminton player. The reason is because I have great interest in badminton. Even though I am not a Badminton player in school, this is because when I was in secondary one, this sport was not available. Therefore, I cannot join the Badminton team in school. The second reason is that I hope to do something for Singapore and I hope to represent my country when I am really good in it after years of training. The third reason is because I want to try out the life-style of an athlete.
Background
This sport is certainly quieter than Bowling and less violent than football. A player can really sweat it out. Badminton is lots of fun easy to pick up. Players with moderate skills can jump right in and enjoy not only the social aspects of team play but also the fantastic health benefits of a great cardiovascular workout. Badminton is played with a shuttlecock, also called a shuttle or bird, which is hit back and forth across a net by players using rackets. The job of a Badminton player is to represent the country and participate in competitions like the Asian Game, Olympic and many more competitions.
Requirements
Strategy is also very important in a game of badminton. Players need to employ a wide variety of strokes in the right situations. Finally, and perhaps the most important in any game of skill and strategy, discover your opponents’ weaknesses and play to it as much as possible. Be prepared to move in any direction at all times. Hit every possible shot overhead. Move the shuttlecock around the court to keep your opponents running and have a purpose with each shot.
Job Duty
The job of a badminton player is to take part in the competitions. It can be better if the badminton players were to win a medal for their own country. They train so that they can perform better. Overall, it means bringing glory to their respective countries.Contribution to SocietyThey contribute to their society by representing their country and it will be best if they are able to win a medal. They are also the representatives for badminton in their country. If they perform well, they also bring glory to their country.

My name is Tan Li Ping,I am an average looking girl with long hair. I am 15 year old this year. My hobbies are watching television programmes, playing badminton, swimming, cycling and shopping. Badminton, swimming and cycling are good forms of sports which keep us healthy.Moreover, they are fun and interesting. Therefore, I enjoy playing badminton and swimming as I can relax myself.
I come from a middle class family with no siblings. In other words, I am the only child in the family. My parents go to work in the morning and return home from work in the evening. Sometimes, my mother cooks when she is not too tired when she returns from work. Even though I have no siblings, I do not feel bored at home! I can just call my friends and chat with them. I have quite a number of good friends in school and most of them are girls. We can chat on anything, for example, we gossip about the latest issue that people are gossiping about and discuss the latest fashion.
Currently, I am studying at Chong Boon Secondary School at Ang Mo Kio. I am in secondary three this year. There are a total of nine subjects that I need to study in school. The subjects are English, Chinese, Mathematics, Physic, Chemistry, Geography, Social Studies, Food and Nutrition and Principle of Accounts. My school has very strict school rules. Other than studying, we have a programme call Co-Curricular Activities. The aim of this programme was to develop pupils' physical fitness, develop basic skill competencies, inculcate desire values and positive social attitudes, and help us to acquire a life-long hobby in games. In secondary Schools, we have to complete a four to five year course and take a final exam during the final year and we will proceed to a school of higher learning.
Singapore is a multi racial, clean and green country. We have races like the Chinese, Malays, Indians, and Eurasians. Thus, we have a variety of food in Singapore and we can enjoy foodfrom different races. we also speak quite a few languages. The Chinese can could speak dialects and some can speak Malay language. These are the benefits of staying in Singapore. Lastly, as a Singaporean, I am really proud of my country.
