Asking my Form 2 students to write Freewriting

Well, asking my students to write freewriting weekly is something worthwhile and meaningful, at least for me, but not for most of them. They might be thinking that i am a tyrant who merely gives instructions without sufficient reasons.

For those who understand me in and out, it goes without saying that they will know i always go for a war after much practice and preparation. To win is easy, all you need to do is to persist till the end. Besdies, one has to ask for directions before going to an unfamiliar place. As the saying goes " Success is belong to those who have thoroughly understood their enemies".

Writing a freewriting is actually to train students'OBSERVATION towards anything that happens around them. On the other hand, it also trains students' MEMORY and CONCENTRATION. The more they write, the better their language will be. The flow of the ideas will come out very fast in a short time if students have used to thinking and observing. In addition, students' maturity will be enhanced day after day.

It serves as a way to release students' tension or a way to express their inner feelings via putting their thoughts into words. I believe that my students will find enjoyment and a sense of achievement upon writing in english.

I am quite happy to see that most of them are really putting their thoughts into words. They will become competent writers, one day, i hope!

Thank you so much for everyone's hardwork. I sincerely hope that you guys will go on moving for acheiveing a higher peak. Thanks to 2D AND 2B students:-)
