7A and 5E Oral Practice

Dear folks

Please contact me direct to do your oral practice. I hope to make it more flexible so I won’t simply fix a practice schedule for you. But I earnestly urge everybody to come for practice at least once before your public exam. Please take a look at my timetable. I would be free for practice in time slots specified below. Simply group yourself and call me to confirm your booking. Do bring stationery, paper and past papers.

There are some 7A students whose oral exam is scheduled on 3 May but just have their exam of other subjects completed by 30 Apr. May I earnestly urge these students to form a practice group and contact me for practice right after you are free. I’m available even on 1 May and 2 May (public holidays), just for you! All you need to arrange is a meeting place. The school will be closed for public holidays. Let me know whether there will be any of these diligent students so that I can have my stuff prepared.

Simply call me if you have any queries please!!!!!!

Problems with sentence structures

Dear 2A

There is an amendment on the handout  “Problems with sentence structures”.

No. 5: The sentence is gammatically alright. We should keep “They are” there!

7A Oral Practice

Dear 7A

I think we have to start our oral practice next week. I’ll be sending the exam dates of your class to gmail. Please group yourselves based on your exam dates. Ideal grouping will be with both sexes. Please come in groups of three or four, bringing along with you the past exam papers and scrap paper for notes.

I just went to a meeting for UE Oral  and learned from HKEAA there is new seating arrangement this year. You’ll find details of the new arrangement in gmail.

Please let me know when you’ll be back to avoid clashes.
