Sam Herbert, 15, saved the life of a 55-year-old stranger even though he himself was born with a poor condition.

    1     He has had many operations on his heart since he was a baby and it has reduced his strength as a result.

The Derby schoolboy says, “I was walking down the street one evening in May when a man in front of me fell over.     2    

“I put him in the right position, but his condition was starting to become worse and he stopped breathing. So I started CPR (心肺复苏法). Because of my condition, I was worried I wouldn’t have the strength to do it for very long.    3     He was breathing again before the ambulance arrived.

“When the doctors arrived, they said I’d done the right thing.    4     We do lots of practice on first aid (急救) but I never thought I’d have to use it in real life.”

In the life-or-death situation he was faced with, Sam acted bravely but also very quickly. “I will have to have more operations on my heart in the future.    5     I’ve always gone swimming, I have kept learning Chinese kung fu and I’m about to climb mountains with my dad,” Sam says.

8 . “Sam’s Journey” is the main attraction of an exhibition to be staged at Bugis+ shopping mall. The show, organized by five Singaporean college students, will start the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign of this year. Besides the main attraction, there are many kinds of anti-drug games for people to play.

“Sam’s Journey” takes visitors through a maze of activities and information that lets them experience how “Sam’s” life was destroyed by drug abuse.

The maze starts with how“Sam”first started using drugs and became heavily dependent on them. In the middle of the maze, visitors get to wear a specially-designed pair of glasses trying to copy what it is like to be under the influence of drugs. Then visitors go through a dark room with lights flashing that give them an experience similar to the side effects of using drugs.

“Sam’s”life goes further downhill once police officers catch him. Visitors get to experience what it is like in prison as one of the maze checkpoints is a prison cell (a small room built for prisoners).

“We did not want to feed information through experts. We wanted people to walk through this maze to learn about drug abuse and its bad influences,”said Mr Jenson Seah, one of the five Singaporean students.

As the student organizers hope visitors will learn valuable lessons from the show, they too realize that putting the event together was an enriching experience.

“By working with officers from the National Council Against Drug Abuse, I learned a lot about drug abuse and it stretched beyond my degree course learning experience,”said Mr Seah. 

The show, which will be given from June 21-22, is just the first of a series of events for the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign. The two-month-long campaign will include an online photography competition and an Anti-Drug School Corner Competition.

Today I will introduce three famous musician in the world. Known as “ the father of the symphony”, Joseph Haydn was an Austrian composer. It was him that changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra. Hayden used to working at the court of a prince in eastern Austria, there he became a director of music. Having worked there for 30 years, he moved to London and became very successfully there. Mozart was another well-known Austrian composer, possibly the greater musical genius of all time. He passed away at an early age and composed no more than 600 pieces of music. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressive with him. The third famous musician I will introduce is Beethoven, who was born in Bonn, Germany. He moved to Vienna and stayed there for rest of his life. As he grew older, he began to go deaf. Even when he was complete deaf, he continued composing.
