I feel so disciplined this weekend! hahaha. Was busying mugging for the 3 more CTs. Last CTs of the year! But did I mention that there's still the exams? Yeah, of course, how can the school year end without the EXAMS. Spoiler. ):

But anyway, didn't go out much this weekend. For this whole afternoon and evening, I've been staying cooped up in this house, revising for Geog, doing Maths Rev. Ex 8, and playing guitar. HAHAHA. Right now my chin is leaning on the 'curved' part of the guitar. I'm still deciding whether I should play this or that. Hmm.

Question 1) Ok, back to Geog, let me type out the advantages and disadvantages of HIGH DENSITY BUILDINGS.
Advantages
- Free up the space needed for other activities, e.g. recreation, commercial.
- Reduces the rate at which green spaces are being lost.
- Can accommodate more people in an area of land, able to house the growing population.

Disadvantages
- Creates a crowded environment and causes traffic congestion.
- Increase in stress levels and reduction of quality of life.
- Higher noise level and pollution.

I disagree with the second point of the disadvantage. Can someone tell me how does building high density buildings lead to the reduction of quality of life?

Question 2) Now, advantages and disadvantages of mixed land use.
Advantages
- Convenience of having homes, jobs, services in the same area.
- Wide range of amenities ensures the needs of many users are met.
- Urban land area is maximised.

Disadvantages
- Construction and reconstruction of new and old buildings and transport network are costly.
- Increase in traffic congestion.
- A lot of noise and air pollution.

Question 3) Why is conservation of land necessary?
- So that there will be ample land to develop in future, when the need arises.
- The country will not lose its greenery, its native flora and fauna for research.
- The country will not lose its cultural and historical heritage.

Question 4) State two ways by which land can be conserved.
1. Setting aside land for nature reserves is a method of conserving land where land is carefully managed to protect its wildlife, plants and other natural features and to provide special opportunities for study or research.
2. Planning that includes green spaces withing the town. For example, the Botanic Gardens and nature parks are found within the cityscape of Singapore in spite of growing demand for land for commercial and residential uses.

These are some of the 'most obvious' questions that I think might/will come out in the test tmr. Hmm. Mrs Tan said that the test will be easier than the sample one that she gave us. But sometimes I'm telling myself that I mustn't take things to easy! Always hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Yeah man, my 招牌 quote. :)
