Just now I read Clarence's English tuition exercise book. I saw a lot of red marks scribbled all over the pages. Not only that, the teacher, Ms Chee, made them do corrections by rewriting their essays or recopy the edited essays. I also read some comments like "this is kid's stuff". Judging from the way she commented and her way of teaching, I can see that Ms Chee is really good in English and has great expectations on her students. She expects her students to use phrases, broad vocabulary and various sentence structures which is true. Who wants to read an essay filled with the same vocab or same sentence structure?
I guess if she reads my blog, she'll either faint or fall asleep. Yeah, I admit that my standard of English is not that good. I still have some problems in grammar especially when using preposition. Speaking or writing in simple is manageable for me. But to write an interesting essay with a broad usage of vocabulary is really difficult for me. No wonder I got a D for my paper 2 for A level English. Thankfully, my paper 1, which is mainly about commenting a written article*still have the guts to comment people, hahaha...*, scored a B. So overall I got a C, which is marginally acceptable. =D Have to read more books to improve my vocabulary and grammar. I also have to read the politicians comments in newspaper or blogs. Some politicians or writers really write good English. I pray that God will help me to persevere while reading books or articles. I'm really lazy when it comes to reading but with God's help, I am confident that I can do it as He gives me strength. Amen!
