BETTER ENGLISH EXAM. RESULT

A question that many students ask: How to improve my English?
Let me answer this question from my experience and observation.
First, you must READ. Students who read a lot, be it BM or English materials, do well not only in languages but in other subjects as well. The more you read the better you become in expressing yourselves. In exam., your well expressed answers merit high scores. Now, the greatest challenge is getting the interest in reading. To put it simply: No interest leads to no reading, then it leads to no high scores. You choose! There is no easy way.
I say 'read' means read story books, newspapers, magazines besides your textbooks.Not just read once a while. Read every day. Read till you complete a story book or a novel. To complete a novel takes a great deal of your will power. Too bad, many of us have too much " won't " power. We won't read or we won't want to complete reading a novel.
Second, use the language. My Vietnamese friends could not speak a word of BM. After working in our local factories for a short span of time, they can now talk to me in BM. Why? They use the BM language after they have heard it spoken. You have to use English in writing and conversation. There are problems but you can seek every opportunity to use the language. One cannot learn a language by not using it.
Lastly, memorise not just some English words but certain sentences or paragraphs, This comes helpful when you write your compositions.

The key is work hard. Learning is hard work so you need to work hard. There is no other way except to work and work. No pain, no gain. The easiest is not to do anything and stay where you are right now. Is that what you want?

Are you .....?

This morning I climbed Gunung Lambak. A good and beautiful place for exercise, indeed. Every Kluang folk should climb that hill at least once. If not, he or she is not considered a Kluang guy. Haha.

Even my former student who came back from further studies in USA went up the hill this morning. What a true Kluang chap. I guess he missed G. Lambak while he was in the States. When we met each other, I could not recognise him. But he could. He asked,"Are you teaching in STAB?" A short while later, I could recall who he was.

Students can recognise their teachers even though they have left school for a very long time. So, dear students, say,"Hi" to your teachers when you are back in Kluang. It is a pleasure to be greeted by former students at anytime of the day and at anywhere.

Hi, 〤j!Aw3n〤
Thank you for writing.

NEW SCHOOL FOR THIS NEW YEAR-2009

Hi, all. I'm no longer in STAB Kluang. After 22 years in that school, I decided to change school and move on and out of the old into a new environment.

What a drastic change! I need a breath of fresh air. I need to see new faces be they adults or students. I need to start afresh teaching in a new school with new facilities.

So, here I am. SMK T.Kluang- my new school.

Hi, students. Read my blog and give your comments.

Do I miss my former school? Yes, I do. But then, I need to move on. So, goodbye to all my students and friends in STAB.
