Easter Break

Posted by Jag

Hello,

Easter break - is it a holiday?  Well, not exactly for me and my class mates.  We would rather call it "study leave".  I am doing I.G.C.S.E and our final exams are in May and June.  Teachers tell us to have a nice holiday but how can we have a nice holiday if we are going to take our final exams one month later! 

I am doing Maths, Chemistry, English, Computing and Accounting.  We can only choose three other subjects as Maths and English are compulsory.

We have five hours of each subject per week.  My friend, his name is Mark, he is from Hong Kong.  He enjoys Maths and Computing whereas I enjoy English and Computing.  We have fun in lesson, he helps me out when I dont understand and I do the same if he doesn't understand.

I love this college becuase you can get all your work done in class.  The best thing is that we have a small group with a maximum of around eight students per class.  This means our teacher can sort out problems and concentrate more on everyone in the class.

I usually finish at around 2:45pm or at the latest 5pm, depending on my timetable. Then I walk or sometimes cycle (if I am not feeling lazy) to my house where I have my dinner ready for me by my host mother.  She cooks really nice food, I really enjoy it.

Now I have got one day left until I break up for the Easter holiday and I have lots of studying to do for my exams. I will do so during my holiday so that I don't need to panic when I come back to college. I hope you enjoy your Easter holidays becuase I really wont be able to! I am actually looking forward to my exams because I just want to get them over and done with so I can have a proper holiday.

All my teachers have given me a lot of past paper do which will be really helpful so I can pratice how to deal with the type of questions which examiners write.  And hopefully I can achieve the grades which I am aiming for.  I have never felt so busy in my holiday before but I have to do what I have to do.

Everyone in my class will be doing the same thing as I am this Easter break but what about you?
