Q1) In the last line, what did the writer mean by suggesting that “he may have found more porcupines than rats?”

In the speech of senior minister Goh Chok tong we learn that we Singaporean are divide into two categories which is rat and porcupine.Rats are those who scared of the aggressor and would not stand up for Singapore;Porcupine are those who stood up bravely and fight for Singapore and chase off the intruders or maybe terrorist in the right term.What the writer mean is most Singaporean are coward and only waiting what the government and not what people can help the government.

Q2)What’s worth giving up your life for?

What is worth giving my life to is my dream.I believe that everyone has dream;some are big some are small;some is risky;some is dangerous;some are impossible to achieve but no matter what a dream is a dream.No one in this earth don't have a dream.

My dream is to be a great runner or getting a job which involve math,science and sport.An army officer or an accountant is one of my choice.But before acquire any dream i need to have some basic skill like running speed,stamina,math skills,science skills as well as reading skills.

WHY I CHOSE RUNNING AS MY DREAM

Although many people said that being a sport man is not easy and has a low pay or even no pay at all and my speed isn't that good but why I choose running as my dream.When i am P5 i like to take on challenge so i join track& field.but in the end of p6 i has not even won a single meal but at sec 1 I finally won a medal and i am very happy that I tell myself that running is not what I though so hard and I must win every challenge

Blockerrr!!!

My blocker of the life is reading skills. Although reading skills could be achieve by reading more books and practise on language,i still lack of confidence .Confident is one of the most common 'blocker' to 'block' our dreams.Without confident,everything is almost impossible to be done.
