Something that took place in school.

We were entering the 2D classroom when the announcement sounded "For Sec 2s, 3s and 4s, morning assembly will be at the school hall". We were all very depressed as it was a long walk from our classroom to the school hall. "Why must the Assembly be conducted in the school hall. it isn't raining right?" i complained to myself as we strode to the hall.
At the hall it was quite usual, some people did not bring their ties and had to stand at the sides of the hall in embarrassment. After the school song, the principle did a little talk and suddenly introduced a group of students, by that time the students were already standing at the side of the hall.
They are students from a secondary school in Harbin, China and mind you, Harbin is in the northernmost place of China, and it is unimaginably cold. I turned around in response to a tap from Wen Hao and he whispered to me that during this few days Harbin was -23 degrees yesterday and today it was -26 degrees.
This is too crazy!
They must be very lucky to avoid such harsh weather to come to Singapore. I wonder how uncomfortable they will feel as it is humid in Singapore. By the way the students walked past our classrooms in small groups, i think there were about 5 groups. We waved to them as a form greeting but only a few of them looked at us. I think that they are already "scared" of this as they have walked past many classes and maybe all of them gave such responses.
In the recent years there are many student groups in China that are visiting Singapore to see how our school life is like. I hope that our school can organize more of such trips to other schools in other countries like those in China, it will definitely be fun!
