Today my from teacher Mrs Chai and the director of consortium Mrs Ke met my mother and I. They met us as my mother wanted to know if I could keep up with my work. I set a goal of achieving the goal of avg MSG 3.00 for my end-of-year examinations. I hope to get B3 for my Integrated Humanities, B4 for Language arts, A2 for science and Chinese and B4 for IS.
I have now got into the self-study programme to boost my quality of studing. I had to take away some time from my Weiqi CCA but I personally think that it will not have a big impact on my Weiqi as I will only take about 15 minutes of my training time. I had kicked my habit of playing com games in order to improve my studies. I only play on weekends now, for a few hours.
I also read newspapers whenever I had the time so that I could improve on my general knowledge and of course, my english. I write book reviews after I finish reading a book or newspapers. I also check the dictionary for words that I do not know. I need to improve my vocab so I now read on a wider radius. I could also read Biography by people such as Lee Kuan Yew though I could hardly undestang the books without the help of a dictionary or a Thesaurous. I highlight any word that I do not know and check the dictionary. I now record them in my own "mini dictionary" which contains all the words that I do not know and their meanings. I study for an extra hour everyday. Under the supervision of my mother. I also did that during the holidays. I need to bulid up on my grammar too. I tend to make many mistakes on tenses, setence structure and spelling. I have a tutor now and he comes to my house every Tuesday. He mainly train me on my comprehension and composition. Mrs Ke and Mrs Chai said that English is a very important subject. I must pass it. Although I also need to revise the other subjects I have to focus on English as almost all the subjects are based on English.
