- Term 3 Week 6 Learning Log -
As Mister Chua was absent for a week, there was no literature lesson last week. And so, I didn't do any learning log for that week.
For the first lesson this week, we had an in-class essay. It appears that many of us cheated on the narrative essay, as many seemed alike. I was disappointed about it, and a little angry, especially when we were told to redo the essay again. Hopefully this copying thing won't occur again. The in-class essay idea, though helped the situation a lot, but it will take up a lot of time, and we won't be able to learn as much.
For the second lesson, we had to clear our literature files. We also went through a little about the topic we are currently learning, irony, and the Singapore River poem again. We were also given an article about someone who live in Little India, and then a few videos to compare the environment of places such as Little India and the HDB flats that we live in. When we had to complete a worksheet about where we would choose to live, I was a little uncertain as both had their advantages and disadvantages. Living in places such as Little India would allow people to come closer together, but it would also pose as a problem when we have to study. It would be too noisy to concentrate, and making a trip to the library every single time would just be troublesome.
For HDB flats, it is the other way round. It is easier for us to study, but it lacks the bonds between the people living side by side. My mother even have quarrels with our neighbours too. At the same time, I don't even know who lives at the other side of the flat, even though we are living on the same storey.
So, it was very hard for me to decide. However, I find that HDB flats would be better for us now, as we are students and studies are more important. We can decide if places such as Little India would be better for us in the future. It is more definite now that HDB flats would be better for students such as us.
