HOLIDAYS

Most of you are enjoying a one week break from going to school. I say 'most of you' because some of you will still be going back to school for extra classes or sports and games. Some of you will also be involved in school camps.

Many of you have had your monthly tests and you can be considered lucky because you will not need to spend your time studying during this one week break. For those whose tests are after the holidays, it will always be at the back of your mind that you will need to get ready for your tests. That is the life of a student, especially a Malaysian student since doing well in exams and tests is of utmost importance.

How are you spending your holidays? Do you like staying at home? Or do you prefer to go to school? There are many things one can do while on holiday, even if you spend your time at home. Cleaning up the mess in your room could be your top priority. Also, you should try to help your parents with some of the household chores. You could also spend time on your hobbies and interests.

Some of you will be going for a short vacation to another town or even a holiday resort. It will be a good change from the normal routine of life at home. I hope you appreciate the opportunities for adventure that you might have.

In whatever way you are spending your holidays, please do take some time to tell us about it. We will be eagerly awaiting your postings. As for me, I will be carrying on with my usual classes. I hope that you will be present for your language classes.
