It has been a real 'gotong royong' effort. BEG has provided the projector, while the masjid the space and worksheets. Due to the gracious contributions of the above mentioned, I have been able to donate my time to provide a FREE UPSR clinic for local non-TELL2 students. The first Saturday (2/8) was a modest 15 students and last Saturday (9/8) we swelled to 29 students. Furthermore, my mentor and boss Toby Walrod also lent a helping hand this last week.
The First week's focus was an overview of Paper 1 & 2 and test taking strategies. We spent the bulk of our time on Paper 2 Section 2 Information Transfer. The Second week was focused on vocabulary of occupations and places. We spent some time on reviewing simple present and present continuos tenses. We discussed sentence variety: simple, compound and complex sentences. We learned FANBOYS and AAAWUBIS, acronyms for the most common conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. We did many exercises on Paper 2 Section 1, 5 sentences. We also played a vocabulary game, which brought lots of smiles from even the shyest of students.
A special thanks to Cikgu Halim who has been my liaison with the masjid. Have a gander at couple of the snapshots. Remember, "English is as easy as 1,2,3."
