Happy March Holidays and some serious matters

Dear 4B-ers

Term 1 has come to an end and we are approaching, day by day, closer to 25 October. It is pretty scary to you and to me as well. I hope you will remain undaunted despite the pressure you face at school and I hope that at the end of this year's journey, you can proudly tell me,  "Miss Tan, I have fought a good fight!"

I am quite happy with most of your work attitude and I really hope that you will really be more focussed when Term 2 commences. In short, what I would really like to say is we really don't have much time left, so please FOCUS. :)

This year is going to pass in the blink of an eye. I really hope some of you will really start working hard and stop yakking away in class. As I always say- I don't want to have to treat you like babies or lower secondary students. You are mature young adults who can think for yourselves, so please stay focused in class.

I was quite disappointed by some of you today. Today's the last lesson of the term and really I had wanted to go through much more--I didn't even manage to finish the essay I had printed out for you because some of you were talking away. Seriously, it can be disruptive for the others, so do take note of it.

We can still have fun and enjoy class time but work has to be done. At the end of the day, EL is your L1 in your scores. Like it or not, you have to do well to go anywhere. :( And please, go get the model essay book. I have been repeating myself time and again like a broken recorder. There are so many good compositions there that you can read daily and in order to improve, you will need to be exposed to good writing. 4B, I am really tired of telling you again and again that you have to get it and then people tell me that they don't know they have to get it. It was in your secondary 3 book-list last year, need I say more?

I also need you to see me more often! EL is your L1... So please please please see me! So far, only these people have come to me for 1 to 1 consultations:
Cheryl Cheng, Mabel, Serene, Sylvia Tan, Xin Yi, Alethea, Zhen Ying, Yinghui, Kam Weng, Marcus, Shahid, Jeremy and there is a good lot of you that haven't.

For Term 2, I really need to see a better work attitude, let's work hard together, 4B!
Oh ya, and time really flies my dears. So do cherish the time together. It won't be long before we are saying goodbye to one another so make the the most out of things! :)

Love
Miss Tan
