Dictation
Sam squatted on the floor with his knees bent. He asked
me to climb on his back to get on the tree. I said, "Can you take my
weight? I am heavy." "Yes, I will try," Sam replied. I muttered
to myself, "Don’t regret it, Sam!" I stepped on his back and heard
some buzzing noise. I thought it was Sam moaning so I continued to climb up the
tree.
When I reached the branch, I was about to
take the rambutans when I heard Sam saying, "Edwin, be careful of the bees
on top of you." I looked up and was visibly shaken when I saw the bees. I
looked down and saw Sam running away. I accidentally broke the branch and fell
down. The branch dropped on my leg and I couldn’t move.
A light breeze caressed my cheeks as I stepped into the park. I breathed in gulp after gulp of cool, fresh air as I enjoyed the wide variety of lush, tropical plants spread out around me. I could hear the birds singing and the crickets chirping. Being surrounded by nature was pure bliss.

were attacked at Labrador Park by a swarm of aggressive bees.

Swatting the bees will result in the
crushed bee emitting a chemical scent that would attract other bees to attack.

Pest-control experts say that
flailing your arms or killing a bee will only provoke the bees.

Hanging by just a thin thread, a
beehive hung precariously on the tree branch.
|
|
Without a backward glance, I scuttled
off, heart hammering a mile a minute.
|
|
I let out a shriek and took to my
heels.
|
|
Screaming incoherently, I ran towards
the pond – the only means of escape from the persistent bees.
|
|
Fear lent wings to my feet as I ran
helter-skelter from the bees.

The elderly woman suffered stings on
her face and arms and she was taken to the hospital for treatment.

He hunkered down in a corner and

Litter-free Bus Service
On Identified as one of the most littered public places in NEA’s six-month Litter Behaviour Study, bus interchanges and its services will now benefit from this programme aimed at involving key stakeholders (i.e., bus operators, bus commuters, bus captains and shop tenants) in keeping bus service premises litter-free. As an extension of “ With everyone taking ownership of his/her litter and keeping bus service premises litter-free, commuters can look forward to a cleaner and more comfortable bus travelling experience. The Launch of the “Litter-Free” Bus Services was in July 2007. |

Aim: To observe a series of energy changes.
Materials you need:
- Spiral made from cardboard.
- String ( about 10cm long)
- Retort stand
- Candle
- Matches
- Scissors
Method and results:
(a) Cut along the circular line drawn on the cardboard to make a spiral.
(b) Tie one end of the string through the hole in the cardboard and the other end to the retort stand.

(d) Light the candle and observe what happens to the spiral.
( Caution: Do not allow the spiral to touch the candle!)
What have you learnt from the experiment?
(a) Explain what happened to the spiral ?
