My NEA quiz 2014 experience

Where did we go to participate in NEA quiz?What did we do at Nan hua high school?

-Nan Hua High school. At nan hua high school, we were diverted by the ushers to computer labs to proceed with the quiz. It was a 60minute quiz and we were supposed to complete 53 questions of which 3 of them were personal information. The questions were tested mainly on the environment, climate changes, and some geography relates. Out of 50 questions, there are quite a few questions that i do not understand / know how to do. At the end of the quiz, we than proceeded to nan hua high school's school hall. In the school hall, pupils of nan hua high school set up booths to educate us more on the environment in a fun and enjoyable way. I could clearly remember that one of the booth was making a stalk of rose flower by using 3 materials, namely, masking tape, satay stick and plastic bags. In the hall, other than the booths, there were also posters on how we can prevent dengue, use appliances that has as many energy saving ticks as possible, disadvantages of littering and many more. There were also award winning drawings of pupils from different school displayed. During my visit to nan hua high school, i also participated in a stage game. We were expected to form groups of 3. I was grouped with 2 other boys, whom were definitely much taller than me. It was really awkward. Well, the questions were not really difficult i should say, however due to the position our team was standing at, it was a bit of  a disadvantage for us as it was pretty hard to see the screen. The end result for our team was we scored 1/8. It was a good experience, despite losing. Through this NEA programme, i have learnt many things. I learnt that the most suitable temperature for air-con is 25 degree celsius. And we can save electricity by using the fan rather than the air-con or use energy saving appliances. I also learnt that even a small amount of water, it also can breed dengue. I also learnt that instead of using incandescent light bulb(non energy saving), we can use compact fluorestcent lamp(energy saving). I also realised that the main reason why people litter is either because they are too lazy or they have this mind set that the cleaners will clear it for them. I also found out an interesting fact about a plant. It is called the Japanese peppermint. It can cure indigestion, nauseous liver problems. All in all, the is a good experience despite not winning anything.
