WEEK 11 :
DANGER IN THE HOME

Danger  at  home

Our home is usually our favorite place to spend time in. However many accidents occur at home. There are dangerous things in the house and we should be aware of them. Thus we can avoid unnecessary pain or injury.

Electricity runs many of our home appliances. It is a very useful thing. It is also a very dangerous thing if used carelessly, for it can kill. Electrical sockets and power points are to be handled with utmost care. Young children should never be allowed to go near them. Unless we are very sure of what we are doing, repairs should only be done by a competent electrician. It is only too easy to get electrocuted. Old or faulty appliances should be discarded. If used, they are likely to start a fire somewhere or kill someone who touches it.

The kitchen has many dangerous things. Sharp knives can draw blood, mishandled gas-cylinders can explode, hot water can scald and stoves can cause nasty burns. Flies and rats can contaminate food. Thus the kitchen is not a place to be careless in. If we are careful and know how to handle things there, then the chance of an accident occurring is lessened.

The biggest danger in a bathroom is when the floor is slippery with water or soap. I have heard of many incidents of people, especially old folks, falling in the bathroom. Sometimes the fall is fatal. Often it leaves the victim bedridden. Utmost care is needed here.

Finally the medicine cabinet should be inaccessible to young children. Dangerous drugs and pills can look like sweets to these young ones. If taken, the consequences can be disastrous.

Other dangers do exist. It is up to us to watch out for them.

WEEK 8 :
 HEALTH IS WEALTH 

Health is wealth

If a person is not healthy, then he or she will find it very difficult to enjoy life. Balanced food, fresh air, exercise, good posture, plenty of rest, pure water, cleanliness, regular check-ups at the docture and dentist “ all helps keep our body machines running as they should.

A fit person is also more resistant to illnesses. The simplest way of keeping fit is by exercising regularly. But the exercises must be vigorous. Secondly we have to watch what we are eating. There should be enough fibre, protein, fruit, vegetables and vitamins. And of course our bodies need water. Water allows our blood to flow through the blood vessels thus supplying the body with vital nutrients. We must drink about six glasses a day.

We have to get enough sleep. All of us know how cranky we can get if we do not have enough sleep. And what's more “ avoid stress, worry and tension, think positive! A bath or a shower every day is a good habit. It makes us clean but it also helps us to fall asleep better. Brushing our teeth is part of keeping clean.

The paramount problem right now are drugs, smoking and alcohol. These activities wtake a terrible toll on our bodies. A smoker has a perpetual cough that may lead to lung diseases or cancer. A drug-addicts body degenerates as his addiction grows. If he does not kick the habit, his fate is almost certainly to be a death.

Thus, if we do all that, we should be able to keep ourselves fit. Nobody likes to be weak and ill, for life is much more pleasurable when we are healthy.

         


              WEEK 5 : WHAT MAKES HAPPY LIFES 

WHAT MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY?

 In the life, many people live to find the answer for the question “what is the happiness?”. A lot of people believe that it comes from the poverty, the fame, power or influence. We can be certain that they are true or false, but in my opinion, the happiness can be created simply from a good health, feeling of love and the faith in life.

 A good health plays an important role of a happy life. There is an idiom “having a good health is having all”. A healthy person works more effectively than a weak one. Moreover, with strong body, people can enjoy their lives by doing what they want. Is a millionaire happy to spend his money on entertainment if he always gets poor health? No, I think he isn’t. Without health, it’s difficult to do anything.

 The next one brings joy to life that is the feeling of being fully loved. The power of love can help people more happy and less upset. That means when we are sharing, the joy becomes double and sorrow becomes half. Problems can be solved if we exchange together. Thanks to human love, people feel safer, more confident than ones living lonely. Of course, they are more happy as well.

 The last one, a key to open the happiness that is the faith to life. Whenever being sorrow or unlucky, just smile and think positively. The writter Lev Tonstoy said that “ The faith is the force of life”. He means that, however the difficulty is, we should believe that we can overcome and try our best. In fact, there were many patients getting over their serious disease and have a happy life after a long time they keep faith and fight to be survive. If we are faithful, we will easily feel the happiness in the life.

 In conclusion, the meaning of happiness is unsimilar to many different people. While a lot of them are finding in illusion ways from money, wealthy or power, why don’t we create our happy life from having good health, loving each other and keeping our hopefulness?...

WEEK 3 : RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CHILD TO THE PARENT'S

Of the many different relationships we form over the course of the life span, the relationship between parent and child is among the most important. A baby cries, a parent feeds him/her a baby snuggles, a parent hugs him/her. Day after day, night after night, mothers and fathers feed, wash, dress, and hold their babies. Gradually, the baby begins to expect that his/her parent will care for him/her when he/she cries. Gradually, parents respond to and even anticipate their baby's needs.

These elements form the basis for a developing relationship. When children move from infancy into toddlerhood, the parent-child relationship begins to change its focus. During infancy, the primary function of the parent-child relationship is nurturance, and much of the relationship revolves around the day-to-day demands of care giving feeding, sleeping, toileting, bathing. The attachment relationship develops out of these day-to-day interactions. As youngsters begin to talk and become more mobile during the second and third years of life, however, parents usually attempt to shape their child's social behavior. In essence, parents become teachers as well as nurturers, providers of guidance as well as affection. As the child grows up, the parent-child relationship changes and it can take many shapes depending on the behavior of the parents. Some parents are warm and accepting. They try to see things from the child’s perspective. This attitude of parents greatly enhances the attachment and these gestures of parents greatly strengthen the parent-child relationship. Children respect their parents more and also listen to what they say. In contrast, some other parents tend to be aloof, rejecting and critical. This strains the parent-child relationship because every child needs his/her parents’ attention and time. This attitude of parents causes the child to respond in the same way. This causes intolerance and lack of respect. There is a two category of the responsibilities we as a child !  

1. As we know we are have given schooling from the kindergarden, primary school,secondary school and also to the universities. We have given a lot of facilities to went to the school. So this is the time to make our parent happy when see us be a succesful person.

2.When we have our own job we not forgetten our parent's. For example like Hari Raya we also have to back to our hometown to visiting them that always waits for us for coming home. During Hari Raya we have to forgiveness each other to bond our family. 

As a child ! We have to respect our family !

 To grow a ''HAPPY FAMILY ''
