The "Answering Machine" (blog prompt)

Ladies and gentlemen,

My group and I are proud to present to you our latest invention--the "Answering Machine" !
This electronic device aims at helping students learn better in the classroom. When a student is in doubt and no teacher is around in class, he/she can just type his/her question into the
"Answering Machine" and the device will immediately give an answer which will appear on the
screen of the device. Shy students can also make use of this device to clear their doubts if they
are too shy to ask their teacher or classmates. I hope that the "Answering Machine" can help to
promote condusive learning in class. What do you think?

Thank You.

Whaling in Japan (blog prompt)

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

I am a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I am honoured
to be allowed to present a speech to raise the awareness of whaling in Japan. The cruelty of the
fishing industry to whales is considered a very serious issue by the SPCA. As the demand for
whale products and oil increases, more whales are hunted to satisfy the need of whale oil and
products for us, humans. Due to this, the population of whales is rapidly decreasing and may
soon be on the brink of extinction!

Since us humans are capable of whaling, we should also be able to stop whaling and help prevent
the species of whales from vanishing from this world forever. I hope that all whalers would
either stop whaling or conduct the activity in moderation.

Thank You.

The ballad of CHARLIE GORDON (LA ACE project)

Charlie Gordon,
Oh Charlie Gordon.
Man in Body,
Child in mind.
Given the chance,
He became smart,
Like any other.
Too bad he failed,
And became a fool again.
Unhappy was Miss Kinnian,
Dr. Strauss and Nemur.
Charlie Gordon,
Oh Charlie Gordon.
Again a man in body,
Child in mind.

My Interest !

My interest is actually cycling if you do not know. I usually cycle on my huge BMX bicycle
around my neighbourhood on weekends! What I like about cycling is that it help me to relax and
relieve stress.

Now, a brief introduction to BICYCLES...
A bicycle is a pedal-driven human-powered vehicle with two wheels
attached to a frame, one behind the other. Bicycles were introduced in
the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide. They provide a popular form of recreation for many, including me! Not only that, different bicycles have different parts and frames to suit different uses such as racing. The basic shape and configuration of a typical bicycle has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885. Many details have been improved, especially since the advent of modern materials and computer-aided design.

Types of BICYCLES...
There are many types of bicycles. But for me, I only like two types of bicycles-BMX and racing bikes! However, I must still introduce you to a few types of bicycles such as time trial, track, messenger, touring, recumbent and cruiser bikes. Actually, I don't like any of these bikes. I think that touring and messenger are redundant. They can be easily replaced by normal bicycles. For those who do not like cycling, I suggest you try out cycling because cycling is really a very fun recreational activity!

Cheers.
