This a story about an incident that was seen by my teacher in the MRT train. The next draft is my opinion.
It was peak hour and the train was packed. An old lady boarded the train and saw that there was no seat available for her and nobody is giving up their seat to her. Then she squeeze in the seat of a young girl who is siting beside her sister and their parents.
In my opinion both passengers and the old lady are wrong. Any of the passengers should give up their seat to the old lady as she is old and might be on a long journey. Therefore, she deserves the seat more. However, most Singaporeans always thought that only priority seats should be given to those needed. That is a wrong way of thinking is unacceptable as Singapore is a harmony and peaceful country.Hence, courtesy can be done by anyone.
As for the old lady, it was rude for her to just squeeze in between. It may cause an uneasiness and discomfort to the family especially the two girls. She could ask politely for the seat if she desperately needed it.

h1n1 attack!
The H1N1 virus started to spread to Singapore. We should be more careful as we do not know if we are infected with the virus as it not the same as the usual flu. We sholud practice personal hygiene and prevent from going to crowd places. But it makes me more worried as the number of cases of the h1n1 kept increasing each day.
However, now, the virus is found to be weak. Still it should not be taken for granted because the virus has not been confirmed to be inactive. We should continue and take precautions in order to fight this virus. Together we fight to make Singapore a healthy country.
