News Article Opinions

6 women from the Singapore women's Everest team conquered Mount Everest on the 22nd of May, last friday. They were the first Singapore women to ever reach the summit of Mount Everest. It was all thanks to their good teamwork and their huge sacrifices made in money, relationships, family and work. All of them have showcased an indomitable team spirit and unity of purpose worthy of emulation by all Singaporeans.

Opinions:

From this article, all the six women have shown us that unity is strength and that if we work together, we can achieve great things. All of them carried out their own roles as follows: the leader, encourager, mediator, peacemaker etc. This shows that everyone has their own strengths and no one is useless. All the team members were encouraged to move on because of their determination and their confidence (The confidence in themselves caused them to believe that they were capable of reaching the top of the mountain)

Also, this shows that women are not weaker than men and they can achieve what men can and can do more than that. I think that they have set a good example for all Singaporeans to follow as they taught us to stick together. If everyone in Singapore sticks together, Singapore can become an even greater country. Unity is strength! United we stand, divided we fall. The women would not have suceeded if they had not worked together.

Dear XinYe,
Your opinion is great!You can improve your opinions by suggesting how Singaporeans should apply these values to daily lives. For example, now facing the economic downturn, people lose jobs. They must have the determination to brace themselves. For teamwork, you can relate to school life, for example students co-operate in a team and they should not quarrel over minor things. I agree with you that everyone is unque in their own ways, so if everyone work together, they will combine their qualities to make the team invincible. I love your last sentence, United we stand, divided we fall. Overall, I think your opinions is great.

Dear Xin ye,
I agree with Hwee lin that your opinions are well-written but it will be better if you can mention how the leader, encourager,peacemaker and the mediator worked with one another during the climb.
I really enjoy reading your opinions:)
