And It Was To Be A Manageable Paper.

Hmm ... still marking prelims 1 compre....

It was to be a manageable paper.
It was to be a paper that simulates the 'O' Level standards.
It was to be a paper which people could at least pass.

But it was not to be.

And it's not because you could not comprehend the passage.
And it's not because you could not comprehend the question.
It was merely that the you did not bother to go that little more extra mile to give a quality answer.
And all your answers came to naught.

It's HIGHLY irritating to see that lack of extra effort to THINK beyond and THINK further.
It's HIGHLY disappointing to place the zeros in the right margin.

It's frankly a case of having the intelligence, but not having the mental stamina and mental demand.
SO THERE'S STILL HOPE
Only if you really want to do that.

And it's not just wanting.
It's not just knowing that you want.
It's not just feeling that you want.
It's not just saying that you want.
It's about doing it - really putting the effort to get what you want.
It's about finally achieving what you want.

The final DOING and ACHIEVEING is what you have to do now.

SO JUST DO IT. DON'T SLACK.
You may think you have been working very hard, but it's not enough - you have to inject it into the actual answering too - you have to give quality answers. You must do more.

Heard that you guys have started letting your guard down; you have not been as focused these few days as the first English paper day. Shame on you then.
Like I said that day:
This is not a time to celebrate a good start and then get complacent.
This is a time to celebrate a focused start and then to push further.
And you have failed to keep up the momentum.
That will be the beginning of your downfall.
And this is your main weakness: easily distracted and easily complacent.

So again, MOVE IT, DO IT.

No time for complacency and vegetation in the hols. Continue with the practices.
