Less than a month towards FINAL EXAM

Yupp, final exam is around the corner... this is the exam that determine whether i continue PISMP or not... Fail this exam, one will be given A CHANCE for a retest and if you fail again, adios, amigos...

Most TESLians in Malaysia, are really worried about this exam and i believed the paper that everyone of us really scared of is ENGLISH STUDIES.

Yes, literature, talks about The Bard of Avon's masterpiece.. for my college of course.. talks about all these literary devices... and you have to think critically, deeply and present your inner thoughts vividly....

English Studies is the killer paper for most Teslians... What is more, there's unseen poem by an unseen poet and unseen short story by an unseen author section... UNSEEN as in you never read the story (if you are not a reader yourself) and you never read the poem...

BUT.. you do have an advantage if you have read the poem/story but hat just it, i think.... i mean, you're not going to analyse the poem or the story you are reading right? YOU ARE MERELY READING TO SPEND YOUR PAST TIME, why on earth will you analyse them as if you are studying? it supposed to be a leisure reading.. a reading that can free you from all the stress and tensions from schools...

TBH, the unseen section really doesnt help the students and it's only making the typically-literature-is-rubbish paper HARDER... this is the paper that will send some of us back home forever...

 i dont hate literature, i only hate the fact that i have to answer questions on poem/story i never read and study before like i've studied them for a semester...

and what about those poems and stories i have studied for 2 semesters? they will not be tested, right? thought so... even mom said it is a waste of time then... why dont we just focus on what will be tested in the exam rather than covering a wide range of poems and stories....

it is good to learn many poems and short stories but there are limits... especially when they took up so much time and energy... where you can allocate that time and energy for stuffs that really be tested!!!

so yeah... this is my rigmarole on English Studies... the paper i'm worried so much... getting a pass is a relieved.... Just hope i wont flop this exam... got no where else to go if i flop IPG...

hmmm.... pray for me and i'll pray for you...
