Is a letter to Mrs. Yeo.

Hello Mrs. Yeo!

How is everything recently? Nobody really knows what happened to you. Anyway, I am writing to you now to keep you updated on what have been happening in school and to me now that I am in secondary 4.

A lot has happened lately, for example the recent exchange program with students from Shanghai, the release of the 2007 ‘O’ level results and of course, this year’s not to be missed Chinese New Year celebrations in our school.

Firstly secondary 4 life seems to be fairly manageable right now. It’s not a surprise that it is okay when I start to do my homework and revision consistently. After all, this year is a crucial year which will decide the path I take in the future; be it education wise or job wise.

Secondly I will talk about the recent exchange program with students from Shanghai. Honestly I felt that they were not trying their best to be good guests at all, though I must admit I was a very good host too. This was probably due to our culture differences in between Singaporeans and the Chinese from China. I am so glad it’s over now! Why? That’s because I: do not have to tolerate my Shanghainese buddy’s idiosyncrasies anymore! Such as sleeping with just his underwear and shirt. ._.

Thirdly I will talk about the release of the 2007 ‘O’ level results. Though I was not one of the examinees, I must admit that I felt very excited while the results were about to be revealed. The good results of our seniors also sort of motivated me to do better than them and of course, proceed on to a prestigious Junior College. Motivation alone will not be enough though. Hard work is also another ingredient in the recipe of success. Like Albert Einstein once said, “Success is 99& hard work, 1% luck.” My results for the first round of common tests also convinced me that I was on a good start and this made me want to do better too!

Lastly I will now update you on this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations in our school. It was a very joyous occasion and rather grand this year. The performances were very good too except Drama Club’s. The actors were rather soft-spoken and I personally could not really hear them. That was the only bad point of the whole skit they acted out. I am pretty sure if I could hear them, the skit would have been rather enjoyable. The shanghainese students joined us too and contributed to some of the performances too. There was also a mandarin orange peeling contest which I honestly felt was very, very stupid. I am not able to see the fun in it! But overall, the celebration was very much enjoyable.

Anyway Mrs. Yeo, whatever is happening to you, I wish you a fast recovery! Happy Chinese New Year nonetheless!

Yours sincerely,
Wen Hao
