My Plans in 2012

  Time flies! I'm a senior middle two student now. This year is quite important to many students who are of the same age with me as all of us will be facing, SPM, an examination which is set for all Form 5 students in Malaysia to get educational certificates. I think we should be in earnest with this examination because it has far-reaching effects on us, especially in the dimension of getting into universities after graduating from secondary schools. Therefore, I have already mapped out a series of plans in order to deal with it.
  My plans are as follows:
(1) Study English first
Why do I start from English first but not other subjects? As I think it takes the most of time to master. This is just one of the reasons, another is, of course the main reason, the 1119 test papers are marked by very experienced teachers. If one's English standard doesn't meet the regular level, he or she might not get a satisfactory mark. You surely know, to write a good essay, what do we need? The answer is just simple--you must have a wide variety of vocabularies, idioms, proverbs, and phrasal verbs. Taking all of the reasons into consideration, I've decided to study dictionary, highlight it with different colour of highlight pens for different kind of words, and type them out in different lists by using Microsoft Excel.All these works are both time-consuming and energy-consuming. Some people even laughed at me and tried to stop me from doing that "silly & meaningless" thing. But is that so silly? To my eye--No! All of that are worth it to me. Now, I've finished doing the works of tidying up the information in the dictionary, it's really convenient for me to read and memorise some words. I never give up doing what I want to. What makes me so crazy about the dictionary--English is still the international language now. If you can master it, you don't need to worry about the communicating problem at all when you're abroad. You can go everywhere as you like.
(2) Preparing other subjects
Up to the second semester, I'll start preparing other subjects. I'll be pressed for time in the second semester because SPM comes earlier this year than recent years. So I have to cram Malay Language, Mandarin, Additional Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, totally seven subjects, into five month's time of revision (SPM starts in November)!
June
Malay Language
July
Mandarin
August
Additional Mathematics
September
Biology and Chemistry
October
Physics and History
After that, we will be sitting for SPM examination. These are all about my plan in this year and it's a must-do homework to me.
