Conclusion
Overall, Singlish has become part of us and we would not want to lose it or to stop using it. We might not be able to pass a day without using Singlish. So, why should Singlish be discouraged when we cannot stop ourselves from using it? Therefore, such a culture should be remained and the use of it should be allowed.

Singlish Should Be Allowed
WX&KH: Ladies and gentlemen, many of you should have heard of Singlish. This form of speech is often associated with degenerate terms. Why do you hate what makes us Singaporean? Is it fair to depise this language just because it is created by our own people? We have gathered today to right this wrong - to gain approval for the language of Singapore, Singlish.
KM: Singlish is the unity factor of Singapore as Singlish consists words in English, Chinese and Malay, which represents our multi-racial society. This will bring us closer to our friends of a different race as we would be able to understand them better. Additionally, Singlish have become a first language for most Singaporean teenagers. So, no matter how the government discourages the use of Singlish, it was Singlish that allowed the people of Singapore to bond together as one united people.
AA: Singaporeans feel better communicating in Singlish than in proper English. They understand each other better when they communicate in Singlish. They even use certain words such as "lah", "orh" and "cheh" to convey their unhappiness over matters. Whenever a Singaporean speaks, he naturally utilities at least one Singlish word in each of his sentence.
NL: Many people overlook the fact that Singlish is one of the most powerful factors that distinguishes us. Yes, one might argue that it is not proper. But Singlish, it is already widely established by our own people that it is part of our culture. This is something Singapore can actually be recognized for. Singlish reigns over all the other languages of Singapore. The Sweden have their Swedish, the France have their French - Singlish is what Singaporeans created for themselves, and it deserves to be an official language, not to be judgementally looked down upon as the nonsense of the street kids.

G4's Paragraphs
If abortion was made legal, there would be less children suffering from abuse or being neglected by parents. In places where abortion is illegal, parents are forced to kill their newborns or to sell them away when they are a few years old. Such miserable fates are the lives of children as a result of not being aborted. Put yourself into their shoes, how would you feel? So here I am to talk about why abortion should be made legal.
If the family that the child is born in is not financially stable then the child's life would be badly affected by that. The child will not be able to get good education, good living conditions and will not be able to get good medical care. Why would the parents want their child to suffer like that? They rather just abort the child beforehand.

A's Extract
I was waiting for my turn to walk into the examination hall to take my oral examination. I felt very nervous so I started wandering here and there. As my turn was nearing my anxiety grew bigger and that made me stride. I wasn't concentrating as to what was on my way. Accidentally, I banged my leg against a table and I wasn't able to walk properly.
Soon, it was my turn. I limped into the examination hall in a very weird manner that even my examiner asked me as to why I was sashaying. Within minutes it was over. I walked out of the examination venue and started to roam around the school while I was waiting for my friends to bo done with their orals too.

Abortion Should Not Be Legalised
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
Be surprised, laws contradict themselves by allowing abortion to be legal. This statement reighs truth. Laws have been introduced to protected the infants with the suggestion of consciousness with the intention of protecting " life ". Yet, abortion is legal altogether. Abortion is legally wrong, and needs to become illegal. And that's what we come forth to discuss.
Firstly, there are many side effects of abortion and when a woman goes through abortion, she is not warned about the risks that she will be facing such as internal bleeding and complications which might even lead to death. Furthermore, the law states that it is legal not to inform the patients of the consequences that they would have to face. 87% of women who went through abortion have been hospitalized due to complications with legal abortions, 20% had prolonged bleeding which carried on for more than a fortnight.
Once more, abortion means the premature exit of the products of conception from the uterus. This also means murder. Although abortion is legal, it is legally wrong as scientist have stated that a life have started when the egg is fertilised as aborting it means murder.
Abortion is not the better alternative. In situations where the mother is unable or unwilling to care for her child, some argue that abortion is the infant's only escape from a life of poverty, abuse or neglect, rendering abortion as a form of unconsented enthunasia. This is not true -poverty, abuse and neglect are not the inevitable. Who's to say that the mother, previously unwilling, might not come to love the child in the end? By aborting the child, you are denying the child of that love.
Two wrongs do not make a right, and this applies to rape cases which are another reason for abortion. Why should the child take the punishment, the horrible mutilation and death, for the crime that wronged the mother? Is this just? Think about it, reverse this law Singaporeans have created to destroy themselves.
