This is your reading task for this week.

Read through it and decide which learning style you have. To make it simple, I've summarized the main three learning styles:
visual - learning through looking at things
auditory - learning through hearing
kinesthetic/ tactile - learning through touching and experimenting.

Writing - Week 3

All of us have different experiences of school. I know mine was quite a pleasant one except for once when I had a teacher who loved throwing the blackboard dusters at those who talked. There was once when I was the victim of her so-called very powerful throws that was actually aimed at another classmate. I remember spending that whole year being very frightened whenever I had my Mathematics class.
I wonder if you have had strange teachers before. Tell me more about these teachers that you have had.

Reading - Week 2

Hope your weekend has been a wonderful one so far. I'm still busy going through your mid-test papers and scores. Anyway, I have attached a link to a website on new readers. Read through it and tell me which book you would most like to read and why?

Writing Week 2

I hope you have been enjoying your Reading and Writing lessons so far.
I am sure many of you have experience travelling or going for a holiday abroad.
For me, I have fond memories of back-packing around Europe. It was really an enlightening experience and I learnt how to be independent. How about you?
In about 5 - 6 sentences, tell me about one of your holidays abroad and what you learnt from it.

Writing Week 1

Hi guys again,
Just to tell you a story.
When I was young, I disliked reading a lot. I used to think it was a waste of time when I could spend time doing better things like playing with my dolls. It wasn't until I started reading books by Enid Blyton that my views towards reading changed.

1. Why do you think most people dislike reading?
2. What are your own attitudes towards reading?
