VS 2A 2009 English Language Blog

hi all,

Thanks and see you next week!

Ok people, I don't know about you guys, but I think enough is enough. Unfortunately, the Chat Box allows the cowardly to hide behind the veil anonymity to abuse people and waste all of our time. So, it is time to remove the c-box.

Until such time that the 1A Blog is set up, you guys can post on the class forum on the VS portal. It's a bit of a hassle but at least there is accountability to what people can post. Just login to the VS portal and go to forums and go to Sec 1 Discussion and set up discussions with the relevant discussion threads.

Thank you.

hi all,

Thanks for all the queries. My apologies, have not been checking the blog. The narrative that you have to type out and e-mail to me anytime during the hols is the narrative that you did as part of your CA. I just need the final product and not the plot summary or introduction. In addition, you need to iron out the grammatical errors.

It seems we have a shape-shifting alien in our midst, is Francis really Francis or is Francis really someone else? In all honesty and seriousness, one of the hazards associated with having a chat box is the possibility of abuse by parties unknown. I will leave it on the blog for a while longer as it still seems to be more beneficial than hazardous for the time being. However if there is anymore unnecessary silliness, such as impersonation, abuse etc, I will remove the chat box.

I'm also not very keen regarding the posting of other subject information on the English Blog, so please do refrain from doing this in future unless it is very important or urgent such as Art Day. I will speak to Miss Shyamira about the possibility of a class blog for posting of important information.

Thanks and I hope the holidays are going well.

Best Wishes,
Mr Tan

Hi 1A -ians

Enjoy your June holiday break. You have to send in your narratives anytime during the hols and also to do 1 RP entry. For HCL students, you have to do a ppt presentation on the Ai Xin De Xi Yue and one of the Zuo Wen topics. Not sure for Tamil, Malay and Cl, though! ( hehe)

hi all,

It's Arts Day tomorrow, so there will be no formal lessons tomorrow.

hi all,

Here's the holiday homework.

1) Complete 1 Reading Programme Task

2) Find one movie review from either the newspapers, magazines or the internet. Read the review and try to identify the different components of the movie review.

That's all for the moment. Have a good break!

Best Wishes,
Mr Tan

Dear all,

Here are the overall results for the semester. Generally, most of you did quite well. Provisionally, there are 18 distinctions, 20 Bs and 4 Cs. The trick as I told you guys earlier this semester is consistency as all your daily work adds up to the final total. Many of those who got distinctions were the ones who put in alot of effort for their CCP reflections.

Kudos to those who scored well, but to everyone, this is only the half-way mark of the year and there is one more semester to go. So remember, be consistent!

Nil Sine Labore.

Best Wishes,
Mr Tan
