- My language prevented me from getting a higher grade since I had a few spelling mistakes in my writing. I also lack some details in my explanation which led to my grades being lower.

2. What can I do to do better?
- I can work on my language and include more complex vocabulary and make sure that my spelling has no mistakes.

3. How do I feel about my first grade for English?
- I feel that my grade for English is not bad but I can definitely work on my language and work on my explanation. I can work on having more in-depth explanations and cut down on spelling mistakes. For example, I can work on trying to coherently present the writing with ides with cohesion between paragraphs, use more vocabulary that is rich and grammar structures sufficiently with ambition and make my words more complex but still linking back to the topic. I can also try to find the best 2 advantages and disadvantages that I can use to write more since my explanation are lacking a lot of details. Overall I find my grades acceptable and I will work harder to get to A1.]]> 2024-02-27 00:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2023_alvin_chng/9whmt4oc7h5ael3c/wish/2896773126 March Holidays Short Response 2023_alvin_chng https://padlet.com/2023_alvin_chng/9whmt4oc7h5ael3c/wish/2924132809 During the March Holidays, the memorable thing that I did was staying at home to play games. As it was the holidays, I could sleep in and wake up late in the afternoon. I found it memorable as it was not something I could do normally and unlike before the holidays, I was able to play games without much restriction. That was another memorable thing that I did during the March Holidays as when it wasn’t the holidays, I couldn’t play that much games and had to spend more time during homework and studying. Although the Holidays did not last long, I still enjoyed the short break from school. Something fun I did during the March Holidays was that I went back to Malaysia together with my family during the weekends of the March Holidays. That was fun and memorable since it has been a while since I visited my grandparents in Malaysia as the only time I visited them was during special occasions like Chinese New Year. So I found it memorable and had a lot of fun during my stay at Malaysia with my family.]]> 2024-03-19 01:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2023_alvin_chng/9whmt4oc7h5ael3c/wish/2924132809 Would you be keen to pick up an extreme sport? Why or Why not? 2023_alvin_chng https://padlet.com/2023_alvin_chng/9whmt4oc7h5ael3c/wish/2943866462 Im not keen of picking up an extreme sport. Partaking in an extreme sport is a very risky decision. Over the past few years, many people start trying out extreme sports like roof climbing, parkour and more. Although to them it is a once in a life time opportunity to experience it, it also comes with a dangerous price. Mostly, people that try these activities die at a really young age. Activities like parkour and roof climbing involves people to climb on buildings or jump from one place to another without any safety equipments . This can be very dangerous as they can trip and fall. An example of this is when a famous roof climber, Wu YongNing, climbed a very tall skyscraper to get views but fell off the skyscraper and died very tragically. It is said that he did that to earn money from views. But personally, I don’t think it is worth risking our lives just to get a sum of money. Hence, Im not so keen in partaking these activities as I'm worried about the risk that comes with the activity.]]> 2024-04-05 00:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/2023_alvin_chng/9whmt4oc7h5ael3c/wish/2943866462
