  1. This is actually written by Mr.Wong Ling Wei(780922135041) from PPG BCN01. He could not comment on this blog so I assist him by posting his work. By the way, good Job Wong!

    I would like to be a bird, for me a bird symbolizes true freedom. I want to fly freely in the blue sky, to find out my own stage of life. At the time, I have a pair of wings, which get freedom of flying in the sky and shout loudly: “I’m free!” Freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want. Freedom to go wherever I want. I can leave over a pile of assignment, aside heavy psychological pressure, do not take up working, not to worry money. I can travel over the world and see things in a perspective that a human could never see. I would like travelling to many places without purchase any air tickets.

  2. I would love to become a dog, German shepherd dog.Most of the people love me because I am an intelligent and enthusiastic working dog. My ancestors have lived with people for more than 12,000 years. We have started to stay near humans for food and warmth. Due to having highly developed senses of hearing and smell, I use these in communication and to track down my prey. I am talented and trained to work for humans. I am enjoying herding and guarding other domestic animals. Sometimes, I would go for hunting and for companionship too. I treat humans as part of my pack, and I accept my owner especially the policeman as the pack leader, and to follow his commands to sniff out explosives, criminals and drugs.

  4. I wish to be a faithful and an affectionate dog. I want to be human’s best friend and an apple of one’s eye by helping him to take good care of his house. If the human is down, I will approach him and lick his face so as to show that I care for him. I assure that the human will be as happy as a lark when I do that. I will be alert if there is a house on fire, I will wake the human up and escape from any danger. I like to play with the human because I can bring happiness for him. I also want to show my goodness to be a guider for those blind people. I will make sure that they cross the busy road safety so as to determine a friend in needs is a friend indeed.

  8. If I had to be an animal, I would like to be a bird. I would like to have freedom as what a bird has. I would like to fly all over the world using my own wings. When I’m tired, I can rest at any trees or caves I want. When I’m hungry, I can feed on any insects at any times. I feel like having no worries if I were a bird.

  9. I will choose to be a snail. Snails are one of the earliest known types of animals in the world. There is evidence that they evolved more than 600 million years ago. I admire with the ability of snails which are able to adapt to a variety of living conditions. In addition, I also admire with the spirit of snail that once it got a target, it will be not afraid of anything to pursue its own end.

  11. If I could be any animal, I would be a bird so that bird live simple and freedom. Life like a small airplane, free flying in the blue sky and travelling to other country where I went. This life is no pressure. Therefore, I would watch the world from highs, watch things differently. When I tired after flying, I could rest and sing song on the tree. That life will not feel boring. As a bird is not bound to one branch forever, I will not be bound to the obstacles that life may bring. I love being a bird because life is not limitations on where I can go, and always playing hard.

Furthermore, human being even find a wife for me, what a wonderful life! Besides becoming a national emblem for China, I also represent WWF (World Wildlife Fund).

  13. I want to be a dolphin, a lovely pink dolphin. As I had to be an animal , then I want to be a pink dolphin, it should not be a problem, right? Haha......so that it seems I'm different, but also easier to recognize me. The sky has been conquered by humans, but the marine world still so enigmatic. I like swimming, but not really expert, then if I were dolphins, these problems will be solved. I can enjoy jumping and dancing and showing the most charming dance. I can revel in the whole world surrounded by nature. I can also shuttle in the broad boundless ocean, enjoy the mysterious ocean swim, and the unfathomable mystery of the underwater world and closer to all the marine life. I really hope to find out whether mermaid and Dragon King underwater? I also want to explore the disappearance of the Mayan culture underwater because the legendary Mayan civilization was sinking in the sea and disappeared. We all rumors will be the end of the world in 2012, is that true? So I turned pink dolphin seabed to find the answer, I will be tell for all mystery then.

  14. If i had to be an animals, i would like to be a dog. Since dog are the most friendly animal for human. The relationship between human and dog have been develop thousands years. Dog can know human language and understand their owner feeling. Dog can help human in many way such as lead the blind people, find drugs, shepherd, doorkeeper and even a baby sister. In the other hand, human are also very appreciate with the dogs contribution. I always hear about some very touching story about the friendship between human and dog. There are also some movie telling about the dogs life with human. Many human tread dog as their family member, because dogs are always understanding.

  15. If I had to be an animal, I would be an eagle so that I have longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight, large hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong muscular legs, and powerful talons. The beak is typically heavier than most other birds of prey. They also have extremely keen eyesight which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. I could soaring high, total freedom, see everything and they are a very intimidating animal in the animal kingdom and our wonderful planet. When I am tired flying, I could rest everywhere I want.
