T2W5 Journal Writing : Kindness

This is the post I have put up for your reflection in the ePortfolio. Please do your journal writing and submit it to me.
Mr Ong

'Hi Everyone,

Last week, we were treated to an assembly talk on kindness. Kindness is defined in Collins Cobuild Dictionary as 'the quality of being gentle, caring and helpful.' We can be kind to others in our words, thoughts and deeds. Here are some quotations on kindness for you to ponder:

'Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.' (Mother Teresa)
'Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.' (Mark Twain)
' expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.' (Stephen Grellet)

For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of kindness in your life. To guide you in your writing, here are some questions for you to consider:
What do you mean by 'kindness'?
Has anyone shown any kindness to you? Can you describe how he/she did it?
Have you done any act of kindness to anyone? Can you describe what you have done?
What acts of kindness do you intend to do for the month of April and May?
Here is a song on kindness which I hope you will enjoy listening as you are doing your journal writing:

I look forward to reading your reflection soon.

A News Report on A Robbery

Hi Everyone,
We have just done a Composition on 'A Robbery' at a jewellery shop. By coincidence, a robbery at a jewellery shop occurred on Friday, 23 April 2010. I have reproduced the news report on this robbery so that you will have a better idea when you write about a robbery.

Channel NewsAsia, Updated: 23/04/2010

Bedok robbers make off with half a million dollars of jewellery

SINGAPORE :

Armed men made off with about half a million dollars worth of jewellery during a daylight robbery in Bedok Central on Friday.
Police received a call at around 3pm about the incident at Block 210.
Witnesses told Channel NewsAsia that they heard a woman yelling from Yong Sheng Goldsmith.
Eyewitness Amanda Tan said: "I heard someone shouting. So I and my colleagues thought there was some fight outside, so we wanted to go out to see. Then I heard someone run across and shout "robbery, robbery" in Chinese.
By then, the shutters were rolled down halfway. Peering into the shop, they claimed to have seen three masked men, all dressed in black.
They said two of the suspects jumped over the counter, while the other stayed put.
The witnesses said the ordeal lasted about two minutes, after which three men paced out rather calmly. Two of them were carrying bags, and the other, a knife that was about 30 centimetres long.
Eyewitness Sarina Goh said: "They carried a sling bag, then they kept quiet and ... walked like normal people."
The police said the suspects got away on two motorbikes with an assortment of jewellery valued at half a million dollars.
The suspects are believed to be three Chinese males.
