1C! How are all of you upon getting your History Results Today :D I think most of you are happy about it aren't you. so the history paper checking time was changed just yesterday and was posted up on EMB by Ms Matthews :D Don't fret if tyou did not do well for your EOYs, note that the final overall marks is the one that counts :/ Stop grieving there, my friends, JUST RELAX and tell yourself that you gave it your best shot already (: and just let yourself douse within a holiday mood and get on with life. Those who love music and songs, just immerse within, not to numb your feelings, that is. No One is actually visiting the class blog. so let me just talk about more news of what happened these weeks when we were not updating the class blog. So, the class became more and more excited and anxoius of the time nearing to the exam dates, Term 4's class discipline was so horrible--- you could see in everyone, the urge to talk and the laughter that filled the class with, and those not paying attention are turning into the right direction, some are getting the jitters of the exams, but they never stop palying computer, they cannot stop it. So Art was so calligraphy- and music was the last of the year; markign the end of our music lessons, heard that next year's 2 terms will be dedicated solely on Malay Language, how can those take it. The exam week started and was a hell pressurising indeed, but those who finished their papers went off first and thus they got bad marks, in fact yes, some. I am not saying that all who handed their paper early got bad marks. Might as well not go for the exams. Ha. So the time after you finsh your papers, do not think of getting away and breaking free from the subject paper, do check the paper thoroughly. This will help you greatly. Understooded? So next time, don't try to act smart haha. and that you all will quickly finish your paper and rush off to the poolside and play the Deul masters and Yugi-oh cards. I wonder what good can that do to you. Hey those weak in subjects do listen up very clearly of what you have to do to improve and that you will score better in the next years EOY. Who knows you may top the class? :D SO have faith in yourself. These are some adivces.
Weak in
English&chinese - Do pick up the good habit of reading the newspapers bilangually and also the magazines. Pick up some assesment books and farmiliarise yourself with cloze and how to tackle questions. Most of all, in comprehension, do look out for what they are asking and remember to answer to the point, not beat around the bush and treat it like the examiners do not know anythign, and by that question and how you answer the question, he/she will be able to know what the paragraph is talking about. Summary, is a practise kind of stuff. Keep practising and you will be able to know how ot do it well. Do pick up better grammer as well.
Mathematics - Those who do not fare well in maths, do look out and always do a gague of how well you have done for each topic. Maths is all about understanding--- understand= good concept and is able to apply this cincept in any circumstances given, thus assesment books are always the one that equip people with the substansial amount of practise to score well for this subject.
English Literature - Those who do not score well for this, get some of your friends essay and photocopy one for yourself, analyze how he answers the question and must be organized, pick up his essay's good points as well the bad points to tell you to avoid from committing the same errors he made in the test or exam.Use these skills in your habitual writing. Remembe rhat what the question ask must be listed out in PARAGRAPHS to make it claer to the reader and marker. This will do good in exams- and tests, answer the question qith everythign you know :D
Integrated Humanities - Those weak in this sibject, make sure you do really know the concept of how what rocks, volcanoes are formed and history is about remembering the event happening at this particular time. This is the thing you have to grasp on to; this works. Next Year, we'll be learning on what governements [and the essay style and format is really improtant] do remember Ms Matthews points. Geography is just about understanding; all about knowing what happens to those things under the sun. History is remembering, and just MUG it for all we care.
Lower Secondary Science - Just reading alone does not garuntee you the sure A1 standard. By reading out of the syllabus is most important, and take some 'O' level science books and read some topics that do interest you over the holidays and make sure it is substansial, assesment books do help, but you should just look at the answers that provide us with the information we need. && its all about answering staright to the point, be direct.
Infocomm Studies - It is jsut about listening in class, not other cooks are required, your teacher is the human dictionary and just by asking him, you will get the answers you have in mind. haha. Plagurisim is what most of you confide in as the best method of getting answers to the project. but too bad, sometimes it is just not worth, and those have respect in your own work :D
These advices, can hopefully help you and make you more tactful in answering skills and whatsoever for the next exam or test. :D Wishing all of you good luck and till the end- i wish this class can be promoted as a class together and not be disbanded or separated from each other :D so congratulations to those who have overall (final-overall score) of 6 and below (: so work harder the next year, class!
