Source: Child Poverty : Definition could include family breakdown
Recent figures showed fewer children in poverty but largely because falling wages have narrowed the gap between the poorest and average earners. Measuring income alone does little to represent the experience of those in poverty. A child is considered to be living in poverty if their household income is less than 60% of averages wages. It is said that life is unchanged for these children and a broader definition of child poverty would be needed. This would be one that looks at joblessness, educational failure and family breakdown as well as income. Building more affordable homes and reducing childcare costs were the keys to reducing child poverty, the charity added.
I believe that this matter is very worrying as it is very saddening to see children of very young age suffering due to family finance problems. Children especially of young age have the rights to have a carefree life whereby in which all they do is to eat, sleep, and play without any worries. However, if this child poverty continues, young children in the future would not know what 'real' childhood means. For this not to happen, i think that parents should work really hard to prevent their own child from suffering when born. 

ESSAY - The use of social media should be carefully censored by parents. Yes or No?

I personally believe that social media should be carefully censored by parents especially when it is young kids are using them. we are talking about. Even if it's a teenager, parents have the rights to keep a lookout of what their child is up to. The content of social media is not and are rarely censored. This would harm teenagers as if they who post careless messages on Twitter or Facebook. It will remain there forever even if he/she deletes it from their account. This would allow strangers or hackers to know what was posted. Also, personal information would allow strangers to know about them and might send spam emails to them which would not do them good.

Another reason is that social media has easy access to strangers. whereby Teenagers can go to online chatting websites and chat with strangers whom you do not know of. This is dangerous as you do  not know what these strangers are up to. Once you get "closer" to the stranger, he/she would threaten you to send him a photo of yourself and you would not know what he might do with that picture. For example, a 16 year old girl, named Amanda Todd, who made friends with a guy through an online chatting site and sent him a photo of her chest which the stranger sent to all her friends and even made a FaceBook group using that picture as the display photo. He followed her to wherever she went, and about a month later, she committed suicide. Hence social media needs to be censored to keep teens safe.

Argumentative Essay - Is multiracial diversity a strength or a weakness?

As Singapore develops further, there are more people migrating in because of the clean and green environment, great tourist attractions and many job opportunities. This leads to a multiracial diversity in Singapore. I believe that this is a weakness for the country. 

As there are more people migrating in, there would be more foreign talent in Singapore which would not be able to give Singaporeans a chance and opportunity to show and prove what they are capable of doing. Therefore, as time goes by, the country would have too many foreigners who have stable jobs unlike the Singaporeans. I believe that the opportunities should be given to the Singaporeans as citizens of the country.
