Letter to Mrs Yeo
Dear Mrs yeo,
It has been quite a while since the last time I saw you. The class and I longed for your presence. We really miss the quality time we had with you. It was a great loss for us not having you as our English teacher. You are a fabulous experienced teacher that any class would appreciate.
Many fascinating events had taken place when you were not around in school. Recently, the school had the chance to send a few of our students to Shanghai for a twinning program. Three of my classmates went and they really had a fruitful time. It got even better when the students from Shanghai came to Singapore to get a feel of how the education system is like in Singapore. They adapted to the class fast. However they felt bored during the lessons as they could only understand Basic English and it was tough for them to follow. I tried to get to know them better by playing a game of basketball with them. Communicating with them during the game was almost impossible. I needed my Chinese friends to translate whenever I want talk to them. All in all, I feel that it was unsuccessful. Until now, I still can't remember any of their names. One other very interesting event that had taken place was the Youth hands-on-day. It is a Community Involvement Programme (CIP) day. Usually, CIP is done level by level on separate days. This year, it was rather different but special. CIP was done on the same day for all levels. The graduating classes had really benefited from the event. This was because we had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit and clean a stranger’s home. However, these people are not any normal stranger. They are those who are in their golden years and in need of help. It was something that most of the students were experiencing for the first time. It was a very memorable moment for me. It really touched me and tugged at my heartstrings. I hope none of my family members will ever go through the misery they are are living in.
Yours Sincerely,
Firhin
