100 days to PSLE Oral
But Sensei still has the situation under control.
“I need to intensify my efforts!” I announced fervently, stifling my groan. I would have to find a chance to explain to these students the difference between amplify and intensify. But that was another problem for another day.
Got a glorious total of four people to read aloud. What was commendable about my effort was that I discovered that a particular student had trouble reading long and unfamiliar words.
Promptly sent out an authentic oral passage the moment I reached home. Noted that this student wasn’t confident about pronouncing “punctuality”. Made a mental note to myself to expose this student to more words that end with -lity. ‘Volatility’ comes to mind.
It’s gonna be a bitter struggle and exhilarating ride towards the finishing line.
