The English examination on Thursday, 24 April 2008, is but a stone on the long and winding road of life

I have yet to take a close look at Paper 2 of the English exam, so, please do not bother asking me questions about it. However, I would love to discuss with anyone on how you could improve your language skills. I hope this will minimise the harassment I get from some of you. 🙂

Based on the nominations given in your comments, I have awarded titles for several well-written blogs. You can see the additional titles on their links. I am truly impressed with the effort put in by quite a number of students. In fact, a handful of you have been consistently posting your weekly journals up even during the examination period. Keep up the great work!

As for the not-so-consistent students, I will be checking your blogs again after 18 June 2008. All students are expected to complete the necessary number of journal entries by that date. Students who fail to comply will be sent for detention. I think I am starting to find this punishment rather convenient. So, my dear students, don’t give me the opportunity to start liking it. Do your journal writing!

Other than completing the weekly journal entries, there are a couple of extra tasks to be done during the holidays.
Task 1) You need to comment on the latest post of all your classmates by 18 June. That means you need to make about 38 comments. Making all 38 comments in one day is strongly discouraged. Please don’t ask me why. Hazard a guess.
Task 2) Post 5 interesting facts about your favourite author and write down why he/she is your favourite in about 100 words. You must do some research on the author before writing up this post. The easiest way, of course, is to search in Wikipedia on the Internet.

Keep your fingers crossed and hope that that is all the English holiday homework there is.
