I think such acts are undesirable and the system should be reinforced to prevent such cases from happening in the future.
Firstly, the applicants should not apply for more than what they need. Even if they could not make it to the parade, they should return the tickets to the organization or pass them to friends who are interested.
Secondly, there should be a review of distribution system to stop the abuse of NDP tickets. Applicants should be asked to fill in the particulars of people attending the parade. A quick identification check can be conducted at the entrance.
Thridly, the sale of NDP tickets should be made illegal. Unsuccessful applicants should also not play a part by not offering a market to those who seek to profit from the event. If they are unable to get the tickets this year, they should watch the parade through "live" telecasts on television and try applying for the tickets next year.
In conclusion, I feel that the parade is a celebration for the country and we should not try to seek to profit from the event.

Summary
-a survey shows that 6 in 10 of them actually speak non-standard English in their daily lives.
-this year's Speak Good English Movement hopes more Singaporeans make it a habit to speak standard English.
-The straw poll of students also showed that more students speak better English only in formal settings like a class presentation.


Singlish has already become a trademark in Singapore and there is less emphasis on the importance of speaking good english. I believe that the Speak Good English Movement will be a successful step to encourage Singaporeans to speak standard english.
Speaking good english should be practiced from young. We need workers who can communicate with not only the non-Singaporeans among us but also the tourists, those who come for conventions, meetings and so on.
We should speak standard english in everyday conversations and not only in formal settings. Each individual must put in effort into this or the Speak Good English Movement will not be successful.
Speaking standard english not only is a self-improvement, but also give Singapore a more competitive edge among all nations.

summary
- One in four secondary school students is a victim of bullying and they experience it at least twice a week.
-schools and teachers have not been working to solve this problem.
-It becomes a vicious cycle when the victims become bullies themselves.
-The Children's Society says it is important that victims not take things into their own hands but seek help from counsellors, teachers or friends.


I think that schools and teachers should step in to stop such undesirable acts in schools. Schools should view this matter seriously and set ground rules against bullying. Both the bully and the victim needs to be counselled.
To prevent it from becoming a vicious cycle, information needs to be brought across to the students. In the case when they are being bullied, they should know how to deal with the situation and who to turn to for help. Talks and presentations can be conducted in schools to bring these messages forward.
