A Deadly Business
1a) What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article?
The 1st worrying trend is that for drugs such as ecstasy and ketamine,the sentence is up to 20 years' jail and 15 strokes of the cane,while for the cannabis,heroin and cocaine,adults traffickers face the death penalty.Another worrying trend is that more Singaporeans are being arrested for drugs crimes overseas.

If I find out that my classmate is selling drugs,i will contact the CNB without delay.Before hand,i will ask him why did he do it and if he knows what he is doing is wrong.And also tell him what are the risk and dangers if he did that.
How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?
I will definitely say 'NO' to any drugs sellers and quickly walk away.

Coral Secondary School forbids students to idle around near their school in their school uniform because as their principal said that coral secondary places much emphasis on inculcating in our students good habits like using time prudently.So it is in their interest not to loiter in the malls afterschooL but only the library is not on the list of forbidden places.

203 Straits Times E-Forum Reflection
a)How did the teenagers trespass into Singapore Island Country Club?
I think the teenagers accidentally trespass into Singapore Island Country Club because at night, they were trying to find their way out of the forest when they wandered onto the golf course and there were no signs saying they could not be there.Suddenly a ball came whizzing and hit their friend's face and started to ask the golfer for an apology but the golfer ask them to leave but they refused to listen and kept repeating what he said in a hostile manner and that was when the golfer raise his voice and told them to go away once again then,one of them ran towards him to try to punch him.
b)Is underage drinking correct? Explain your answer.
Underage drinking are certainly wrong because they may lead bad health and easily get addicted.Underage drinking are also illegal because drinking have certain age to drink legally.For those who drink under 16 may be caught by the police and sentenced to jail that is due to the law.Now,the percentage of underage drinking are increasing maybe because they think drinking alcohol are 'cool',or maybe they are stress with their studies and that's why they drink or maybe due to the influence of their friend that is used to drink alcohol.
