letter to mdm tan

Dear Madam Tan,
How have you been? I haven’t seen you since sec 1. It has been a long time since we last met. I hope you remember me because you have only taught me for awhile. I am currently studying secondary four and preparing for my ‘o’ levels this year.
When school reopened this year, I knew that I had to work extra hard compared to others because I had been sleeping and playing throughout secondary three. Most people in my class had not been serious in their work last year so some of them had to repeat secondary three. I got promoted to secondary four through sheer luck. I realized that some of my subject teachers have been changed and they are teaching very well. I’ve been trying to settle down and study but I dun think I can keep up this pace until the ‘o’ levels are over.
Listening to some of the teachers classes were good because my results improved a lot compared to last year’s results. The teachers are trying very hard to help us and our class has changed for the better. The structured remedials have started and we have to end school late most of the time. It proves to us that the teachers are really very serious about the ‘o’ levels and we have no time to waste. Having structured remedials at the beginning of the year tells me that the ‘o’ levels are not much far away. This year is a year to study and work extra hard. We can sit at the gallery this year and everybody has been hoping to sit in the gallery and I finally have my chance. We had to go through a tough year but at least there is a reward, to sit in the gallery.
Everybody had been controlling their urge to play and go wild. We know if we study hard now and get good results in the end, we will be able to relax and play for a long time. I have been dreaming about how to enjoy life after my ‘o’ levels but it is no use until the time really comes. I hope to see you again in the near future. Goodbye!

Yours sincerely,
Shao Wen
