Before the JC immersion, I used to think that I would have two weeks time back in the senior high school again. However, JC life turns out to be so different. Tampines JC is my immersion school. Though, the rank of the school in Singapore is not very good, it still astonishes me in many aspects and let me find the difference between Singapore and China in education.
On the very first day, I got up at 5:30a.m.It was quite early because of the long distance between the school and my hostel. I could even see the moon when I was seating on the shuttle bus. The school began at 7:40p.m which was actually a little later than my senior high school. The flag rose every day with the national song. It was really solemn and regarded seriously. Then, the classes began. I was so surprised to find that there was no break between each class. So sometimes, the class would last for 3 hours which I think was just too long to be focused on. Also, the lunch time changed every day from 10:00p.m. to 2:00p.m. which was hard to be adapted to. After that, the classes ended at 1 or 2 o’clock. The students would go to CCA or go back home. It was quite unbelievable compared with the class ending time in China which was 9:30p.m. For the timetable, honestly speaking, I do not find it good for students since it is far too irregular to follow and may waste time in the long break. But I like the idea to get off in the early afternoon so that the students can do some outdoor activities.
The types of classes are also flexible. For the science subjects, they have both tutorials and lectures. In the lectures, teachers teach some new things attached to the textbooks or notes; while in the tutorials, tutors get into deeper questions and help the students individually. Due to the different types of classes, the functions of these classes are divided clearly and the teaching styles become distinct from what we have in China. It inclines to be more students—centered while the teaching style is likely to be more teachers—centered in China. Because there are just 23 students in one class, the students could have a better interaction with their tutors. Besides, the subjects were various, they have both science and arts classes though they will probably be major in science. In the economy and GP classes, I found it is both practical and closely relates to the society. They always talk about the newspaper articles and thesis of current affairs in these classes. The students can widen their sights in this way. What’s more, every student would choose their own CCA and every subject is regarded equally important including PE, though the grades of PE will not influence the A’ level results (I was forced by their PE teacher to run for 2.4 miles with my buddy and found out that!). It encourages the students to develop their own forties and learn to be active in a group.
As for the students there, they do not seem to be as hard—working as what we do in China. But they are more energetic and enthusiastic. Also, they are more active in class and prepare to answer the questions all the time. Sometimes, they may be more open—minded or optimistic than us. Once, when my buddy was scolded by her economy teacher about her grades, at first, she was indeed frustrated because she said she tried her best. But just after the class, she got to the normal mood again and continued the other classes. If it happened in my Chinese classes, it would definitely influence the mood of mine the whole day.
During the 8 days of my JC immersion, not only do I find out some differences between the two country’s education systems, but I also make many new friends--- my buddy Sincere, cute Shaur En and the chorus group. Just hope we will have a chance to meet each other again.

TPJC, Too Perfect a JC! (By Yang Zhixing)
TPJC, Too Perfect a JC!
Before this JC experience, I had never heard of TPJC (Tampines Junior College), the JC where I went to. When I first saw this name, I laughed to myself: “Oh, is it Too Poor Junior College?”, and I doubted whether I could enjoy myself there. After I had a great time there for two weeks, I strongly agreed that the name should be the contracted form of “Too Perfect Junior College”. What made it so perfect to me was the class atmosphere, their critical thinking & practical learning and the student’s characteristics.
I think the word that best describes the class atmosphere is “free”. First, they are totally free to raise questions. If they have any single thing that they do not understand, they can ask the teacher immediately when the teacher is not speaking. In light of this free rule, I could always hear such words as ”Teacher, I did not understand, can you explain again?”. Second, they are free to remind the teachers of their mistakes, and the teachers accept them readily. One day the teacher kept talking when class was over, and the students kindly reminded the teacher; the teacher, then, apologised and ended that class quickly.
I was also deeply impressed by their critical thinking and practical learning. During the general paper class, the teacher encouraged the students to think and criticize the topics and affairs that were around us, for example, they were asked to discuss whether the youths were self-absorbed, and in another lesson they analysed the functions of nature conservation. These topics are deeply rooted in our daily life. By studying such practical things, the students can acquire a keen sense of observation and become perceptive. Besides, their handouts were the latest newspapers and magazines instead of out-of-date textbooks. This definitely helps them to gain a clear understanding of what is going on in the world.
The students’ characteristics, I would say, can be shown in the following details. First, they are humorous. They often make fun of each other. When asked about how they would defend Singapore, one boy answered:”I want to defend the nation with a stick!”; then the class bursted into laughter. Some naughty girl drew a picture of him with a stick in hand. It was so funny. Second, they are sincere and honest. They regarded me as one of their classmates and would not let go of my mistakes. One day I did not managed to sleep well the night before, and I fell asleep during the class. My buddy tapped me on the shoulder to wake me up. He said that I should observe the class rules just as the class did. I was grateful for this because they really thought of me.
Although the joyful time in Too Perfect Junior College was short and flowed even fast, I learned a lot of things from it. I will apply these attitudes and learning methods into my study. I shall cherish this experience forever in life!

My Highs in JC Experience
We have our JC immersion in the first two weeks of March. During these two weeks I went to Tampines Junior College and experienced the real life of Singapore high school students. Although two weeks are too short for me to have all-round understanding of the educational system of Singapore, I still feel that this short period is meaningful because I had some highs in these two weeks that impressed me a lot.
The first “high” thing to be mentioned here is the beautiful campus of Tampines Junior College. Before I went to Tampines Junior College for the first time I had learned that this JC was one of the “youngest” JCs in Singapore, so I imagined that it must be very new and beautiful. However, it was still a surprise to me that TP Junior College looked so neat and well-designed! The school was not big in size but it had gym, teaching buildings, canteen, library, computer rooms and any other things that should be contained in a junior college. What impressed me most was the library of Tampines Junior College. Small as it was, the library had thousands of books of different kinds that gave students much valuable knowledge. It is quite comfortable for students to study in such a quite room with air-conditioner. The well-designed library reflected a concept of Singapore education that self-study is of great importance for students. In addition, the well-constructed campus also showed the determination to focus on education of Singapore government.
Another thing that made me feel good was the timetable of JC students. Students of different classes had different timetables. Also, the time of classes of one student varied from Monday to Friday. For example, a student in class1 had a break at 10 a.m. on Monday but had a break at 12:00 on Thursday. However, his friend in class7 was having mathematics at 10 a.m. on Monday. As far as I am concerned, comparing to Chinese students who always have five classes in the morning with short breaks between each other, Singapore students have a more flexible time table which keeps their interest of study.
Now we have come back from JC and continued our study in NUS, but I can never forget my two-week experience in JC because it taught me a lot about the school life of Singapore students and encouraged me to improve myself. The highs and lows of JC immersion weeks have become a long-lasting part of my memory which always deeply touch me.

A Recall of JC Immersion
I had never seen the scenery of Singapore in the early morning, but the two weeks experience in Tampines Junior College gave me a chance to compensate for this pity. Every day in this fortnight, I had to be early birds to catch the bus. Although it might be unnecessary and wearing, we did have a fresh way to appreciate the so-called amazing Singapore, including Tampines Junior College.
The initial contact was always unforgettable, so was the first day of my JC experience, which was full of surprise. With the fragrance of obscure flowers permeating through the brisk air, the dew spattering my shoes, the spots of streetlights twinkling like stars, I got on the bus amidst a fairly nice mood. There were not so many cars like usual and skyscrapers were like silent giants in black suits, guarding this city. The moon light had not gone, stroking the wrinkled sea. I sat in my seat, leaning to the window, and gazed at the flashing scenes, the movie made by the morning of this city.
The time we arrived at the JC, I realized that an amazing journey started with the beautiful view of that campus. Because our orientation T-shirt conspicuously showed our identity, everyone greeted us with a big smile, which eliminated our nervousness at the very first. That was the warmest welcome that I had ever received.
Without much effort, we all got our buddies. My buddy is a warm-hearted and humorous boy, whose bright eyes showed his cleverness. Every day before class, he would arrange my seat and ask me if I was contented. And he liked to tell funny jokes to me, which entertained me a lot. Additionally, he invited me to attend his CCA( Co-curriculum Activities), hokey，which I had never played before. He was really a proficient player that could control the ball like his finger, unlike me, an awkward green hand. Fortunately, he patiently taught me how to play it and encouraged me to be confident. He was so kind that I could express my appreciation with my poor words.
What he did for me was really helpful, especially the social knowledge in Singapore which abated my stress in this unacquainted environment. I regarded him as a good friend and teacher of mine. Besides him，the teachers and students also did me a great favor to enjoy my time in the JC, as well as in Singapore. I really wanted to stay with them much longer.
Our farewell party was held in the Pasir Ris Park, a barbecue party. Setting on fire and putting on the food, we had a jubilated party under the beautiful blue sky, with the settings of the peaceful sea and uninhibited stray birds. Everyone was elated and gaily sang songs, for our transient stay and long-last friendship.
Though the soot made our faces black like the charcoal, we had the most beautiful smile faces, only because we were together with our best buddies.

My fond memory in Tampines Junior college ( by Guo Yingjian)
After having finished our two weeks of JC immersion which was full of pain and happiness, we came back to NUS to continue our routine English classes and received the results of checkpoint that made us worried for a long time. I feel so happy that there is no need to get up at that early time every morning, but when sitting in the familiar classroom, doing SSR, and listening to tutors’ feedback, a kind of feeling called “miss” appeared in my mind.
At this time, my buddy must be seated in her classroom struggling to solve science questions or discussing the topics of General Paper. She and her friends will try their best to prepare for their coming “A” Level test, while I have to focus on the following English classes as well as Computing and Science module to get ready for my undergraduate studies. Maybe we would not contact too much with each other after this activity as we all have our own lives, but the cheerful experience would remain in our heart permanently. Although the time is quite short for me to get more detailed information on Singaporean teenagers’ life, I do really enjoyed a lot and harvested precious friendship with them. Compared with others who say that JC immersion is just boring and a waste of time, I actually found this activity interesting as it provided us with the chance to experience a new kind of school life.
I went to Tampines Junior College which is extremely far from our hostel. Each day, we had to spend nearly an hour on the shuttle bus picking us to that place. However, when sitting on it with the light off and looking out from the window, I could see the fresh dawn of Singapore when most people were still in their dreams. There are many things memorable during the two weeks, such as my first short speech before a whole school of Singaporean students, my bitter experience of getting injured when running 40 meters, my sore throat which made me unable to speak aloud and so on. I’ve learnt many academic words in Mathematics and Chemistry, and even how to draw the curves describing produce-demand relationship by attending their tutorial classes and lectures. I feel very proud that I have finished the 2.4 kilometers’ running within 15 minutes. Although it may sound not that fast, I made a breakthrough which shocked myself since I had never expected to run pass the terminal. There was a period during the process when I felt that it was definitely impossible to move another step forward. But having persuaded myself that I can make it, I chose to challenge my limit and see my potential ability. Luckily, it was not as hard as I previously thought. After finishing my last round, I was surprised to find that many of my buddy’s classmates were still keep running desperately on the playground. I have no idea whether I would have the opportunity to run that long distance for another time, but it’s really an enjoyable experience that will always keep fresh in my mind.
Last Sunday, we had a farewell barbecue in Pasir Ris Park. When we sat on the grass singing some old popular songs that express feelings of childhood and school life, I finally realized that we were going to say goodbye to our buddies and Tampines Junior College. I wish that moment when we were under tall coconut trees, enjoying gentle breeze and the smell of roasted chicken wings, and as free as we could ever imagine, could be frozen. However, the reality is that we should continue pursuing our dreams by making much more efforts. We noticed our lack of knowledge in academic English as well as skills in writing essays. We’re here supposed to be talents to make contribution to Singapore, therefore, we should not take the scholarships for granted but try our best to achieve our high ambition and cherish this precious opportunity.

My Junior college Immersion Experience (by LIu Jingjing)
My Junnior College Immersion Experience
I had been looking forward to the Junior College Immersion Programme for a long time. First, after having only English class every day for three months, it was good to have a refreshing change. Second, it was the last chance for me to study in a high school. I dearly cherish my memory of high school in China, of the old buildings, of the beautiful ponds and fountains, of the cobblestone road under the greenwood tree. What would a Singapore High School, or to be precise, a Junior College, be like? I wondered, with anticipation and trepidation.
The Junior College I went to, Tempines Junior College, was in the very east of Singapore, so we are frustrated to find that it would take us one and a half hour to go to school if taking the public transportation. The ministry of education kindly arranged bus for us in the morning, which shortened the time to forty-five minutes. Nevertheless, getting up at five thirty in order to catch the bus, which left hostel at six fifteen, was still a torture to us, as we had been used to having a sound sleep till seven thirty or even later. I, as well as everyone else, whined about the arrangement, until one day I found out that many JC students spent the same amount of time to go school. “We only had to bear it for two weeks,” I thought with sympathy, “but this is what they have to do every day. Poor guys.”
Being a Singapore JC student was indeed not that easy. They need to change the classroom frequently and there was no break between classes, which made students tired, although they had fewer lessons than we had in China every day. I was surprised to be told that Singapore students only have one chance to take the A-level exam. (Maybe Singapore can learn from the American SAT exam system, which allows students to take as many times as they can. This is impossible in china due to the large population, but it can help Singapore students.) Singapore students only have two years to prepare for the A-level exam. Therefore, it was understandable to keep hearing the teachers say things like “you must work very hard now; otherwise it would be very difficult for you to get a good result in the A-level a year later.” Haha, it sounded familiar. That was what my high school teacher used to say.
However, studying in one of the most developed countries has its advantage. My formal high school in China was one of the best in our province and quiet rich with the government subsidy and alumnus donation, but we were still not able to have the advanced facilities in Singapore. I envied the nice equipment in the lab, and admired the rock climbing wall, hand ball field, and the gym. They could have so many co-curricular activities, in a high school, which was quite unbelievable. I went to the modern dance club with my buddy, and learn JAZZ and BALLET! I never imagined myself learning dancing, but it turned out to be fun.
On the last day of the programme, we held a BBQ party on the sea beach and took a lot of photos and I chose one to be my laptop background. Now Every time I turn on my computer, the happy days in Junior college recur to my mind.

An unforgettable experience (by Wei Shubo)
Last two weeks, we were expected to know the life of students who were in Junior Colleges. I valued this experience very much, for it may be the only chance for me to study in Junior College. According to the activity, I got to know more about the education in Singapore and made many friends with Singaporeans. This experience helped me gain more familiarities with Singapore.
I was chosen to go to Tampines Junior College with my twenty peers. We set off early in the morning on the first day. I was excited and imagined how wonderful the experience would be. I even felt a little nervous. After our arrival, we were welcomed by the school and each of us saw our buddies. My buddy was an open-minded student and he greeted me warmly. We talked a lot and soon became friends. I accompanied him to attend all the classes. We learned from each other through sharing opinions while facing arguments and entertained together. My buddy’s CCA was canoe training. Because of my thin figure, some of his classmates played joke on me:”hi, buddy, you look just like a beanpole, so you can’t afford the training.” To prove my ability, I followed them to finish all the training. As a result, my muscle was aching for a week.
Having PE classes here also gave me a deep impression. In china, the students spend this class for leisure activities. However, the students were trained in PE classes. I took part in three PE classes during the two weeks and felt tired every time. On the last day, we went out for BBQ. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We eat the food we cooked and sang a song together. That is good memory. I felt a little sad when we parted. I will never forget this experience in Tampines Junior College, for it gave me a good memory and I have some valuable friendships.
