Rosa Parks and Equality of Race

Dear all,

As we finished up on our revision practice paper today, an important issue to highlight from the comprehension open-ended passage is about racism and the equality of races. Some of you mentioned that the theme is about racism and you are affected by the story. This story here is an actual fact that really teaches us about the reality of life and important values to be learnt. Racism is very real in the world. It is still ongoing and was evident in the United States of America in the early years. What Rosa Parks did was a great act that helped spark the Civil Rights Movement to abolish racism. You can watch the video of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Junior below.

Two points to make:

  • We learn the value that all human beings are equal and that we need to live in harmony.
  • No matter what the theme of topic of the comprehension passages may be, approach it with a objective and calm mind. You may not like the topic but this doesn't mean that you put in less effort to complete the questions. All passages let you learn something new so be receptive and do your best!

Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
