oh yes,one last thing(omg, i spammed posts today)
these are the comments left by limhaozhe in case you all don't realise the function on "comment" below(believe me,i just found out) and btw,i think its a good reflection and it really makes sense:
I seriously agree...we are at fault this time.On one hand, we want Mr Siew to provide us with holiday lessons. On the other hand, we refuse to do his work. What is this? English is an important subject that we would nid to consider in our 'O' levels, but yet, so many of us are failing English.In order to improve English, we would nid to do every piece of work that he gives us.Anyway, on that day,he commented that we were like "vultures" swarming around the holiday lesson plans to sign up for a slot.Please, we nid to be more civilised. Instead of arguing, shouting, bullying our way into the desired slot, why cant we discussed it nicely instead?Well, u may say "the early bird catches the worm",but,will we be able to all catch the "worm" at the same time? If not, why hurry? There's plenty of slots on the plan. Are we showing our Enthusiam over the study of English this way? To improve a language subject, we would have to put in more effort in it compared to maths, science.One way to help is to READ.Reading helps.Seriously.By reading, u are expanding ur vocab bank and at the same time practising on comprehending the story. Four books a month should do it.It is alot already.The other solution would be to chiong English paper 2. As always,"practice makes perfect".
Ok seriously, this month sucks.We got scolded by almost every teacher that came into our class.Now, watever we do, we must provide a reason, a "stand" to clarify our actions. Seriously, this is going too far. There is only so much that a human being can withstand before cracking under the pressure, the scoldings. Do we nid to be scolded? If no, then why are we getting scolded everyday? It really sucks,u know.Some of us are feeling very pressurized bcos of this.Now, we are even notorious in the school..lol I am also getting more and more confused by the actions that Mr Chan has taken towards us.Its quite frustrating...i know that many of us want to fight back, argue ,stand up for our rights, but the 1st sentence coming out of our mouths would probably be "**** la, wat u wan us to do?" As such, we cant argue or fight back as this will probably offend Mr Chan and as such, earn us another scolding...Well, wat can we do? Maybe to try to be more serious, caring and to quieten down a little. As they say,"Empty vessels makes the most noise", stop showing others that our class consists of "empty vessels"(srry if it stings a little) and not matured people. Well i hope that this situation will end soon cause we will nid to focus more on our studies and not on reflecting on our mistakes:)
I cant believe we really have to pay for the shirt...quite lame leh... Want shirt dun wan pay, nid us to pay. And about the cake, i thought u know how to bake cakes...so bake one and we can cut costs

Hehe, its a chance to showcase my good writing skills:)
ReplyDeleteOk, for those taking English re-test on 2 june,as u probably know, its a paper 1. As such, here are some tips.
ReplyDeleteFor situational writing: 1)Write the intro, why u chose this thing...etc, and state the points that u think will sell it to the reader(preferably 3 points) 2) Elaborate on the points and compare it to the other choices:for example,an iphone is probably better than a Nokia N95 as it has touch screen facilities and more memory storage...etc Follow this for the next two points or so. 3)End it by asking the reader to comment or give suggestions, example: Please feel free to feedback to me if u have any suggestions and i will change it asap...
Composition
Hmm, choose either a narrative or a one word topic.These are the easiest.Make ur sentence clear to the reader.Instead of writing "I walked to school", u can write "i walked briskly to school or i strolled to school" Clarity is important. Mr siew say that in order to score, ur compo must be clear and precise to the reader. About vocab, there is no need to use "cheem" words. For example, "I was flabbergasted by the scene" There's no need to use flabbergasted as a simple "confused" will be enough to complete the sentence. Unless u really know the spelling and meaning of the words, pls substitute with something that u are 100% sure and there should be no problems.
Lastly i jus want to wish everyone good luck as some of us would be taking 3 papers on that day:)
