Letter to Mdm Tan
Dear Mdm Tan,
How have you been? It has been such a long time ever since we last saw one another. Time really flies, the holidays have passed in a flash and a new year has just begun. As you know this year is an important and crucial year for both me and my friends. In the next few months or so, it will be our O level papers. So my goal for this year is really to do well in it and ale to proceed on to a higher education.
With the O level exam starting this a week earlier this year, it showed me how busy and packed my schedule can be. The teachers have to conduct their lesson faster in order to complete the syllabus and revisions have to start earlier. After since school had started, staying back till five plus in the evening has been a routine for me. I am thankful that our school teachers had took the effort to conduct extra lessons and remedial for the secondary four and five as to get us started for 0-level than a last minute one where we start cramming all the noted into our mind.
The teachers are more experienced, they are more strict and serious towards our learning and attitudes. They want us to spend our time wisely and put in our best than to regret later after our results are out. More homework and test were given; I have to learn to manage my time properly between both my studies and band. It has been a great pleasure and fun to be in the band as playing instrument helps me to relieve stress and I really gain a lot through band. Band teaches me to be more discipline and knowing to manage my time properly as there are a lot of practices within a week.
Ever since school reopens, the time I spent with my friends has been limited. Most of the time, after remedial or CCA, all of us would be so tired and exhausted that we want to fly home straight away and have a pleasing rest instead of spending time together. Even when we have the time to spend together, we would use it by studying together as compared to the past; we would hang out together and enjoy ourselves.
I have learnt that organizing my time and planning my schedule ahead is important for me in order to manage well. These are some of the changes I had experienced after since school reopens in 2008. Hope to see you in near future. Write soon, I’d love to hear from you. Wishing you a Happy New Year.!
Take care and best regards,
Christina
