Blog prompt for news clip #1 Week 7

Speech:
Hello all. Today I am going to speak about the sale of organs illegally. I will also highlight my disappointment towards the unscrupulous doctors for removing other people's kidney without their consent. I believe that the government should implement such rules or regulations which would play a major and crucial role in ensuring that such perpetrators will be severely punished. These despicable doctors should be stripped of their licence to be a doctor. This is a major offence and no one should be let off the hook leniently. Even if the patient consents to having his kidney removed because of financial problems, it is still not an acceptable act. Instead, they should consult the government stating their difficulties. Also, the doctors themselves should not be tempted by money to perform these acts. I hope that such incidents can be prevented by implementing some new rules. Thank you very much.

Blog prompt on news clip #1 week 6

Speech:
Good day everyone, today I am going to talk about why animals should not be hunted for medical reasons. That is because some animals nowadays are facing extinction. If they are hunted still, they would soon be extinct. Once a certain type of animal is extinct, it will disrupt the food chain in its habitat and cause many other animals to die. Imagine if you are the predators of the animals. When your source of food is diminished due to human acts, wouldn't you try to eat up humans as another source of food.(This considering they are carnivorous) When this happens, humans can be in mortal danger. so as to prevent this from happening, we should no longer try to hunt them for medical reasons. I suggest trying to find the cures from plants or through biomedical research. This will not only be beneficial to humans but also to animals which were once hunted as medicinal ingredients. However, if there is no cure, I would say that you should take care of your health in the first place and not contract the disease. Hunting little amounts could also be accepted like only hunting 2 animals per month. Better if you do not hunt them. To hunt them, I hope the government can impose a rule that someone who has a pass can only hunt animals, if not, they will be prosecuted. I hope that this rule will be implemented for it will prevent such cruelty to animals. Thank you

Blog prompt on news clip #3 week 5

Blog prompt presentation:
Hello everyone, I am pleased to present the status of Singapore as one of the two final countries, other than Moscow, to get into the final round of the bid for the Youth Olympics 2010. May the best country win. I would like to stress that Singapore has a number of fantastic structures built to accomodate participants and so on. For instance, the to be erected campus for the participants, also known as the Olympic Village. It is built on a golf course and one should know the obstacles in a golf course like trees, lakes and undulating terrain. A great deal of excavation is only possible and a high level of skill is thus required by the engineers to construct the Olympic Village. Once complete, it will look very modernised and should have enough space to accomodate the athletes. Other than that, we have a sufficient number of facilities to suit the athletes' needs. There are also enough venues in the tiny country, singapore, to host the YOG 2010! We would also like to assure the athletes that it is very safe in the campus. not only that, we plan to make it as eco-friendly as possible. with more greenery comes more fresh oxygen. hence allowing athletes not to get choked up with smog or haze. Rest assured that if Singapore wins the bid, we will make this event a complete sucess. Thank You.
