Keep the Spirit UP ! Our next target : Be an all-round class, 4D

What a month ! With our voluntary service at Arts in the Park and our great team spirit during the inter-class basketball competitions, 4D has realised what a F.4 class should have -- initiativeness, enthusiasm, cooperation, leadership, mutual support and above all, determination !

Big hand again to our basketball players who spent time doing the practices and revising the strategies ! As I said before, you all had won well before the finals ! Watching the match was really enjoyable ! Great job !

So, it's time to set for our next target : the First-term Exam ! Come and show we are not only a class who excel at sports, coperate well, grab every piece of chance to contribute and to learn, we are also a class who know the significance of "Work hard, Play hard" ! Here are some advice for your coming exam :

* reflect on your First-term test results and find our your weaknesses
* set a time-table for revisions, especially for the long holiday which is extremely hard for you to concentrate and be self-disciplined
* setting the timetable, you may try my way : e.g. the order of the exam was "a-->b-->c-->d-->e" --> then I would have my schedule arranged like this : "e-->d-->c-->b-->a" which meant I would revise on "a" a few days before the exam and when the exam went on, "b, c, d & e" would not be so hard for me as I had already gone over them once. I found this method worked very well, even for my public exams. Try it !
* check all your syllabuses, notes and all other related materials before the holiday
* go over the guidelines given by different subject teachers and see if there is anything which is still hard for you. If so, go and ask your teachers

* If you like, form some study groups with your friends who can help each other in different ways. Of course, you have to make sure that you won't spend time chatting or playing when you see your friends
* Last but not the least, set your own targets ! e.g. you failed in 2 subjects last time --> at least get all subjects passed ! e.g. you barely passed (i.e. 50 or 52)all last time --> certain improvement like 60 !

Can you try to spend some time thinking about my words and sharing your plans and targets with all of us here ? Try to do it by this Wednesday (9p.m.) with your full names and class nos at the top.

Look forward to your sharings and your great plans,

Ms Joe Chan
