Q1)

What I hold most dear in life are my parents, and close friends and i would strive to protect and defend them in times of threat and crisis. My parents are the one and only reason that i am standing on dear old planet earth today. They are the one who raise me up and this process is not an easy one. It is a very difficult one all in all. From me being in my mother's womb, my dear mother have to suffer the 10 months of pain, from lots of injections to having lots of "side effects' from this pregnancy eg vommiting. After i was born, they have to wake up day and night to feed me. Whenever i cried, they will try their best to please me. Growing up, my parents have to work very hard outside to support the family and me. They always ensure i have the best of everything, be it shoes, clothes, bags, food e.t.c. They have done so much for me that left me in a life of umpayable debt and i will of course at all cost protect and defend them from everything i could think of. There is a chinese saying: At home, you rely on your family, outside, you rely on your close friends. Close friends are also one huge major factor that contributes to the me today. They go though everything with you, thick and thin. They help me go through every obstacles at sight. They are the one that do not betray or abandon you. They confort you when you are sad, pull you up when you have fallen, laugh with you when you are happy, hence all the more, i will protect and defend them in times of threats and crisis.

Q2)

The three different aspects are my country, my school and my pet. Country - i will also defend her to the very end. If there is a war, i am willing to exchange my life for the freedom of the country. Singapore have given me everything- friends,facilities,entertainment,knowledge e.t.c , so it is natural i will defend her of times of threat and crisis. Also i am really very proud to be a Singaporean. My School as it have given me knowledge, friends and values. Without them, i would be a very lonely and useless person, hence, it is natural that school is one of my picks to defend. Lastly, that is my pet. My pet have accompany me through lots of things. Whenever i came back home from school, it will wait for me at the door, refusing to leave. Whenever i am scolded my parents, he would be the one to cheer me. Whenever i go for a jog, he would always tag along with me. He makes a really good company. He is so adorable. To me, he is my brother as i have no siblings. Hence, it is also natural that i would defend him. If it were him, i am sure he would do the same...
