My favourite poem is "Whatif" by Shel Silverstein.
Here was the poem:
Last night, while I lay thinking here,
some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow talle?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won't bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well, and then
the nighttime Whatifs strike again!
He think of a lot of whatifs. In example, "Whatif I'm dumb in school?", "Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?", "Whatif I get beat up?". This shows that he was worry about those things.The next day, he found out that everything was normal. That night, he think of the whatifs again. This shows more that he was very worry about everything around him and about him. Even though what he think did not happen, he think of it again and again. This will make him worrying all the while which make life not peaceful. I think that he should not think of the whatifs anymore because it will make his life miserable. He should not think too much about those things that were nearly impossible to prevent the wastage of time.

My favourite part of the book is the ending of the book which describes that Hari's father has kicked the drinking habit which led the family into hardship for the years before. It also describes that Hari's mother has been recovered from the anaemia she suffered over the years. Hari, too, canme back from Bombay with a lot of money which he earned there. It was a happy ending because the family was originally a poor and dysfunctional family.
A city rat needs to spend a lot of time improving himself to catch up with the technology outside because the technology of a city is always improving. It also have a lot of entertainment there you will have no time spending on it since you need to improve yourself everyday.
A country rat will have more time than a city rat because we do not need to improve ourselves everyday since the technology there does not develop very fast. Therefore, we will have a lot of time spending on other things and make our life happier.
In my opinion, being a country rat is better because we can have more time to relax ourselves and a city rat have no time to do that.

If Ali needs to take medicine A every 3 hours, medicine B every 5 hours, medicine C every 7 hours and medicine D every 9 hours, when is the next time he will take all the medicine at the same time if he take all together in a Wednesday 5.00 pm ?
Hint: Find the LCM of the time and add it to the time he take the medicine together

I considered this article a character-driven story because it tells us about the life of a girl, Oh Siew May.
She is a 39-year-old woman infected with celebral palsy. She has a unlucky and miserable life not only because she has been infected by the celebral palsy, she even has a father who eventually died of cancer. She even has an impaired sister and his brother gambled a lot and waste all the money earned by her parents.
But Miss Oh did not give up on her dream because there is someone supported her. She has unwillingness to give up on anything she wanted to do. She strive to make dreams come true. She has climbed Mount Kinabalu, which is one of the highest mountains of South-East Asia and despites being disadvantaged and being looked-down by the normal people. Other than that, she even wrote a book of her life and she encouraged many people in this world because people will think how a disabled person climb such a high mountain.. Her friends helped her to publish the book with their own willingness and spend their own money in order to encourage people to think positively to end it with a success.
We should learn from her good attitudes and not give up easily although we are disabled and we should also learn being helpful and kind from her friends. This can make us have more friends around us.
Do you think we can still succeed like her if we learn from her?
