And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China. 170 students task：to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choiceall written in Chinese. Themes ranged from local opinionssuch as the usage of. Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centreto food blogs. The entries were judged on Language proficiency and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.

In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award listthe rest of the awards were swept up by students from China. “No surprise.” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College. which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.” One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrews Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her biog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts（播客）.

It shouldnt. Even when the bottles are recycled, there are all kinds of other effects of swallowing bottled water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense. The containers are often filled in faraway lands, then shipped from abroad, and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap, filling a glass, and drinking up! Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided, says Peffers, “Most bottled water is just tap water.” And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative, which is almost free, and it is surprising that Americas desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy, reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year. “My parents generation never had bottled water,” says Isabelle Silverman, an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free. “You dont need to fetch it home from the store, and its cheaper,” she adds. Bottled waters role as a status symbol needs to change, Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers And whats your drink?” thats no reason to forget your conviction（信念）. “Dont be afraid to say, Ill have tap.

To remind them to be aware of their social status. D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.

Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed（不安）. “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didnt quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “Theres nothing wrong with it?” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. No, no. But you should try. it, he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.” I looked across at the others：shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with：first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderf
