English in Singapore
Wednesday, July 09, 2008
Few days ago, I went out with meiqi and liying at Takashimaya for dinner. During dinner, we started discussing about why i got"B4" for o level when my standard is so lousy. Haha...all thanks to my sec 4 English teacher, Mrs Sim. She taught me to study for English. Since sec 1, I usually failed my English, my teacher always leave a comment that i read not enough...so i started reading and reading but my grades still did not improve, hence i sort of give up. Partly environment does play a role because i was in a pure Chinese class in my secondary school life. This decreased the chance of speaking English.
And before examinations, everyone would say English do not need to study. But my English teacher thinks that we can get ourselves prepared for the exam. Going through passed mistakes, develop storyline/plots and using/forming sentences, then used them in the exam. I managed to get a B4...so actually her method of teaching works but my English still sucks!
