Paragraph 2

To wisely make use of the money granted from the governement, I suggest spending it on both education and change to the choices in the food menus of our canteen. Clearly, our goal is to foster students to eat healthily and stay physically fit. Therefore, education is absolutely required to achieve our goals. It is proposed to launch a “Healthy Eating Campaign” in the coming month, aiming to promote the healthy eating styles to both students and parents. Parents shoulder heavy responsibilities for the health of their kids as students routinely have their meals at home or accompany parents to eat out in restaurants. It is necessary for our school to remind parents that they are responsible for encouraging students to adopt the habit of healthy eating. In the campaign, seminars will be organized and guest speakers will be invited to deliver talks on the topic of healthy eating. Game booths will be set out on the ground floor aiming to conveying the ways of appropriate eating as well as providing entertainment for our participants.

Paragraph 1

The number of over-weight teenagers has been rapidly increasing in recent years as most teenagers have established unhealthy eating habits and ignore the importance of balanced diets. One of the major reasons for this circumstance is that many schools provide their students with non-nutritious lunch boxes which are composed of large portions of meat but less vegetables. By continuously eating non-nutritious lunch boxes, students may accumulate excessive fat and lack essential nutrition, which poses serious dangers to their health. In the worst cases, students who are over-weight are susceptible to severe illnesses like heart attack and diabetes. On the other hand, it seems that our schools neglect to promote healthy eating attitudes in their students, providing students with scarce information about the harm of obesity. The result is that students eat whatever they like without any consideration.

2008 Halloween Party

Demonstrating fashion talents, each class has sent one or two representatives who dressed in horrible style. Few of them imitated scary characters in some famous horror movies. Some of them tailor-made their costumes as terrible as they could in order to frighten the audience.

With the rhythm of the strong music, all the performers carried out a cat walk show during the English assembly held on 22th Oct. What you could not imagine was that all the performers walked professionally on the stage and did not feel embarrassed even though they performed in front of so many audience. Thunderous applauses were given by the audience as some of the performers posed like supermodels in the commercials. What a joyful moment all the students have on that that day.
