A trip to NTU
Today is Monday and it is the first day of the this week. Instead of having lesson in the morning, we went to the NTU to attend the twenty-third International Biology Olympiad opening ceremony. We were required to arrive at school at eight fifteen and we left the school at about eight thirty. The ceremony started at about nine o’clock.
The ceremony was very interesting. The host of the ceremony was very funny and he told us that he could only speak English though he looked like an Indian. The speech which the organizers gave us was actually boring. The most interesting part of the ceremony was the four shows. The first show was the Festive Drum Performance by the Singapore Long Tian Pugilistic Dragon and Lion Dance Troupe. This show was some very traditional Chinese show and that reminded me of my home. Then, the next show was the Chinese Dance by Singapore Chinese Girls School. According to the show, this show won the Gold with Honours award at the 2012 Singapore Youth Festival. The third show was a Malay Dance by Lianhua Primary School called Anak Desa. The last show was the performance by Compassvale Primary School Brass Band which won the Silver award at the 2012 Singapore Youth Festival. I like all the four perfomances. Then, it came to the introduction of the participating teams of each country. There were about fifty-nine countries took part in this competition. The funniest thing was that three of the four American students were Chinese.
I like the next part most because the next part was lunch part. The food served during lunch time was very nice. They were a lot better than the last time when we went to NUS High School. There were many kinds of food and the other one came before we could finish this one. The other interesting thing was that I could see the difference between people from all parts of the world. I could also hear all kinds of languages and experience all kinds of culture.
In conclusion, it was a very funny day. r
