Students' Study Week and Yahoooo...
But, marking their essays is like... Yukeeee!!!
The most painful struggling moment in every teacher life!
Well, this is the list of things that would make any of the English teachers cry their eyeballs out:
[and one question to ask - Who is their former English teacher? Well, of course, we don't put the blame one others, because the same question will be raised by the teachers who teach them after that :D]
1. He, She and sometimes It are used everywhere in the essay, just to talk about one single person (I called this Gender Confusion Syndrome)
2. Present tense and past tense are used in one single sentence - causing difficulties to the teachers who marked the essay suffered from "Jet Lag Syndrome", well, despite of air travel, we experience all the symptoms e.g: fatigue, insomnia and most importantly the changing of time zones from past to present and from present to past.
3. Most of them don't use transition words often, the moment they used it, it killed you! Because, 'suddenly' is their only favourite transition words they love the most, regardless whether if the incident happened suddenly or not! They just like to use it, to create the climax in their writing. Well, they did it, I would say, at least to the teachers by getting know how creative their students could be in using the only and single one transition word 'suddenly' and expected it would make a big impact to the writing.
Well, well, well... Let's continue marking, it is better than none of them are sending in anything!
Brenda, gambate ne!!! So do Nazz and Wana! Gambate ne!
