Holidays. It’s getting very near. I’m sure most of us are going to travel whether in Malaysia or overseas. One thing I know about travelling during holiday seasons is Traffic Jam. Hours of traffic jam.
Good morning to our Principal, teachers and my fellow friends. My name is Shafieza and I’m very proud to present 3 Dedikasi this morning. Today, I would like to give a speech about things you can do in Traffic Jam.
Since PMR and SPM are just around the corner, I’m going to start my speech with something educational. Just a reminder, students ought to bring a small note book and a pen with them. You can get knowledge anywhere and anytime.
First, students can refresh their brains with simple multiples or you can practise your chemical equation. Make sure you don’t push yourself too hard. People in the other car might think you’re crazy if you act like *repeat an equation a few times*. I bet some of you might think that I was crazy for a minute there. Another good exercise that you can do is by adding up all the numbers. Like 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 and so on. Try to see how far you can get. Hope you can reach 100!!
Curiosity. One word that makes people on earth discovers a lot of things. If you think you want to discover something, try to start with things around you. For example, a pen. Don’t you ever wonder how does a pen work? I have. In fact I’ve disassembled a lot of ball pens and mechanical pencils. I was amaze by how this simple machine works. I do this a lot during the exam while waiting for the exam to finish. Maybe this is the reason why I get low marks in exam. I was busy discovering things.
On the other hand, I’m sure most of us have hand phone, so text a friend. If you run out of credits, talk to your family members instead. I’m sure we have many things that we want to share with our family members. I love to share funny stories with my family. This is because laughing helps releases stress but try to avoid laughing too much. You might die. A woman actually made the front cover of a newspaper because she died of laughing. Blame her husband for tickling her!
Talk about laughing. Some people love doing funny things. Here are some random ideas. Stare at the people in the car that next to you. You can tell how confident they are by doing this. A confident person might stare back at you and maybe give you a grin while a shy person will start to slide down slowly. You can also amuse someone by picking your nose. They will start to laugh when they see that. But this action is not recommended by me. People might think you’re disgusting but if I’m the one see you doing that, I’ll laugh at you. Hope I don’t die by doing that!
Next, singing in the car would do. If you have a nice voice like Marha, you might actually entertain the people in the car. If you have a bad voice like me and Enez, I think you should just sing to yourself. Some people might want to jump out from the car. But you don’t have to worry. They won’t die because the car is not moving.
I also have some tips for teachers up here. If you are driving the car in a traffic jam and you are stressed, take a deep breath. *Inhale and exhale* It always does the trick. You can also start a conversation with the people in the car. If you are alone, you should start listening to the radio and maybe sing along. It doesn’t really matter whether you sound good or not. You’re alone right??
Only one thing all of us shouldn’t do in traffic Jam is drink. I’m sure your parents can’t do anything if you start saying “Mummy! Mummy! I need to pee!” unless you don’t mind going into the bushes and do your thing but look out for snakes!
That’s all for today. I hope I don’t have to give another speech because I’m torturing all of you. I would like to end my speech by apologising to all of you if my speech was too long. Selamat Hari Raya and enjoy your holidays. Thank you!
