Common Test Day!!!

The morning was quiet, too quiet... This was because it was a revision class therefore the hallway was quiet, no one but me left for class and the first to be there.

20 minutes later, some students came and joined in with Mr. Lim and I to revise our work. There were around 8 students including me in class and when the China students were having their toilet break. They peeped into our class and wondered what in the world of that is holy will such a class exists. Nothing much to revise and I waited till the common test starts.

The common test started at 2pm and was easy but I hope I do not make careless mistakes in my test.
 I wish I can get a good result once Mr. Lim is done with marking our papers!

After the paper, rejoice! No more revising and studying like mad!

At 4.30pm, a soccer match began with a friendly match between local students and Singapore students. I would not say very friendly as the locals were aggressive and during the match two students of their team got red card from the referee. 
The match ended 6 to 2 and we lost to them but let’s not forget my friends who put out a good fight.

In the evening at 7.30pm, I entered Room 304 at the teaching block where there was an English Speech Competition. 
I sit beside Hakim and watch the competition. This competition has 10 competitors which were the local students, they choose a topic to talk about like “I love English” and “Sichuan Cuisine” and each was given 5 minutes to talk. 

After their speech there were questions given by the teachers (judges). When the judges were deciding who wins this competition, Vivian (English Corner Chairman) asked Hakim to dance on stage to entertain the crowd.

Once all that was over, all students were given an award from bronze to gold.

To sum it up, China students have a strong ability to learn like us but with bigger hopes and dreams. May their wishes be true and granted in the near future!
