Make up your Mind, 4D !
Hi Dear 4Ders,
Just a few lines to summarize what we discussed today :
As Leo said, of course, you are all good kids, lazy though ! What makes me worried is even though your parents and teachers always stand by you and give you chances, the real world doesn't ! What if HK stopped developing now and our counterparts keep going ? Of course, we would be left behind ! Being a teacher, I never want to see any regret on my students' faces ! Don't wait till it's too late !
Love you,
Ms Joe Chan
p.s. Evan, remember to help arrange the ceremony ! Feel free to call me if you need help !

Reflection on the Study Tour 2010
Reflection on the 3-day Study Tour 2010-4D
Ms Joe Chan’s Reflection
Compared with my Olympic Trip 2 years ago, the trip to Zhongshan and Kaiping exposed me to a completely different China. No security check-up points, no marvelous modern buildings, no “well-behaved” and “well-attired” civilians but the peaceful and simple face of China ! I like the cultural heritage, the food, the natural landscape, Dr. Sun's Museum, and above all the time spent with my lovely class ! It was also a precious chance for me to get to know my students in depth – e.g. their independence skills, communication power, consideration for others, cooperativeness, and inquisitiveness. All in all, feeling exhausted, I still find the trip wonderful and unforgettable !
My Reflection
What have I benefited from the Study Tour ?
Did the itinerary successfully accomplish the targets set before the trip ? (i.e. cultural exposure, knowledge exploration…)
Has the tour changed my views on different aspects ? (i.e. own independence skills, communication problem, degree of adaptability…)

2nd Term Test
Dear 4Ders,
Seeing 4 days become part of the history, it's time you asked yourself, "What have I done so far and what I should do in the following days ?" Never give REGRET any chance to "eat" you up when you still have time to fight back !
Stand by You,
Ms Joe Chan

A belated sharing ~~ Giuliani's Quotations : Part II - Do What's Possible, Try What's Not
In Giuliani's second quotation, "Do what's possible" is a positive attitude we should have and "Try what's not (possible)" is what makes our life even better !
First, let's discuss what's possible ! Can you manage your time better ? Can you monitor your leisure time better by not spending too much time on the net or watching TV ? Can you go home earlier and start working on what you should finish within the day immediately ? Can you say "no" to any distractions like phone calls or on-line games/movies when you have lots of work to catch up ? As a Form 4/5 student who should be self-disciplined and target-oriented, what we mentioned above are ALL POSSIBLE, right ?
If you have passed Level One, here comes the challenge : Try what's not possible ! Can you imagine spending a few hours on revisions even after finishing your assignments ? Can you stand going to the self-study centre/library even on holidays while others are enjoying their good times hanging out with their friends ? Can you sacrifice your time for piles of mechanical practices and past papers ? Try your ability and potential and you may find that nothing is impossible !

Giuliani's Quotations (Part I) : Who and Why is Rudolph W. Giuliani ?
(I am sharing the series with both 4D and 5D XD ! Hope you can benefit somehow.)
Rudolph W. Giuliani served as the mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001. Yes, it was September 11 of year 2001 which unveiled Giuliani's leadership to the whole world ! His role in leading New York in facing the terrorist attacks before and after the disasters won him both praises and criticisms.
Here, I am not going to discuss the 911 issue but the interesting and inspirational quotations in Giuliani's book Leadership which I have been going over again these days. His short quotations are worth sharing and learning for those who want to be good leaders as well as people who simply attempt to excel in different areas. Let's learn some of them together and of course, try to put them into practice !
FIRST THING FIRST
This 3-word phrase is what your parents and teachers have been reminding you of since you were small. In Chinese, it is like "We should do something which has to be done today within today." An English poet Edward Young got another famous quote you may have heard of, "Procrastination is the thief of time."
Being students, what come first every day ? They are doing homework, revising what you have learnt and practising to make perect. Finishing them, you are free to do anything like reading newspaper, watching news, reading books, doing household chores for your parents and so on. As the NY Mayor, Giuliani liked having morning meetings with his staff as he thought identifying and addressing the problems early in the morning, he would tackle them early.
Go and find out what matter to you and deal with them as early as you can every day. You will find that life is not that boring and studying is no longer a burden as you have spent your time wisely achieving something siginificant every day and, there is still time left for your favourite pastime !
