sIcK oF eXaM~~


I’ve been doing revision for my Management exam after hanging out with my friend for the whole morning and afternoon. I’m really bored of reading those notes. I told my mom’’ Mummy! I’m sick of reading all this! I hate University life! It’s always about exam and assignment! It’s not that fun like what you guys say!’’.


My dad heard what I say and he said this to me’’ If you really put effort in your study, then you’ll get a flying colours result.’’ Well, I did put effort on my study, is just that sometimes I feel sick of it.




From the sentence that my dad had just used, it express more than one idea. The sentence ‘’ If you really put effort on your study, then you’ll get a flying colours result’’. A statement that express more than one idea is a compound claims. There are three types of compound claims, disjunctive claims, conjunctive claims and conditional claims.




My dad’s statement is a conditional claims. Conditional claims is a claim that used the word ‘’If ... then...’’, there are antecedent and consequent in a conditional claims. ‘’If you really put effort in your study, then you’ll get a flying colours result.’’ The sentence after ‘IF’’ is called an antecedent and sentence after ‘THEN’ is called a consequent.

I watch a movie''The Stranger'' with my friends,Yew Thung and.The story is about a couple,kristen and James,they been murdered by three stranger(a man and two girls)that wore a white mask.Starting of the story really frighten me when there's a girl who knock on the door at 4am in the morning with a haunting voice. Horrible things start to happen,and everything had collapsed for the happy couple.The couple asked the mask stranger why are they killing them but the mask stranger didn't answer and just stab on the couple stomach with a sharp knife. In the end,the couple die inside the house and the three mask murderer drive away that town.The mask murderer take out their mask when they stab on the couple stomach but the audions didn't get to see the murderer face because it didn't show us. I don't like the ending of the story because it didn't tell us reason the mask murderer kill the couple and they didn't even show their face to us.They just leave the town after killing the couple and the story just ended like that. Therefore me and my friend decide to rewrite the ending of the story and we'll see who wrote the best ending.Re-writing the ending of a story is one of the writing activities to stimulate creative thinking. I've wrote a happy ending for the couple,kristen and James.They tend to escape from the mask murderer and they did it! When the three mask stranger want to stab on the couple James found a gun inside a cupboard and he shoot one of the girl murderer. James then run away with Kristen when the other two mask murderer hugging the injured girl murderer. The couple James and Kristen run away and leave the town,they start their new life in another town but a few years later the mask murderer appear in the town that the couple living. They are back for revenge! And that's the end of the story and the director of ''The Stranger'' Bryan Bertino can come out with ''The stranger 2'' to continue with the story and earn more money through it.


While my friend Yew Thung come out with a funny ending that the three mask murderer didn't kill the couple. They are the couple friends and they're trying to fool around by frightening them because it's April Fool! That's a creative ending that the audions wouldn't know until the end of the story.
