I had never expected that I could have the chance to experience the life in Junior College, and I have been looking forward to it since I knew this news. After two weeks immersion, I can definitely say that it is a beneficial and rewarding experience.
Firstly, I really appreciate students in Tampines Junior College, especially my buddy and her friends who were hospitable and responsible. My buddy was one of the first to come and meet me; her smile eliminated all my worries about the following days in Tampines JC. I met her at the hall every morning, and, after morning assembly, I followed her to every tutorial, lab work, or lecture. She always sat beside me, sharing her handouts with me. She and her friends asked me to join their discussions and activities and were happy to explain to me what I couldn’t understand. They took me to the canteen or cafe to have meals or drinks during each break. Although I couldn’t always join their conversations, they sometimes asked me questions and talk to me on their initiative and regarded me as their friend. Besides my buddy and her friends, other students there are also friendly to us. I was especially impressed by two Chinese students and one Singaporean student who came to us, chatted with us, and greeted us whenever we met. Two weeks is too little for us to become very intimate friends, but I will never forget their smiling faces, their care, and their help.
Apart from students, what also impressed me is their teaching style. Unlike the lessons in China, lessons here in Junior Colleges are active and relaxing. Students are able to express their opinions freely and teachers are fairly friendly. Students learn things in a quite easy circumstance. General Paper class is the one which gave me the deepest impression. Teachers distributed handouts or magazines to each of them and picked a passage before they began to read fast in silence. Then, questions were raised by the teacher, and discussions began. There were both class discussions and group discussions. The articles were about social issues around the world and students expressed their opinions on these issues and compare the conditions in Singapore to that in other concerning countries. It is a very effective way to broaden students’ range of knowledge, cultivate their abilities to reflect on different social issues, and provide opportunities for them to express their point of views. In my own opinion, except from the fact that handouts may seem a bit mess and students are not given enough time to discuss problems they met in doing homework, other aspects of educating students are quite good. I appreciate their easy but effective way in which knowledge is imparted.
Besides having made new friends and having absorbed knowledge during classes, I have also learnt a lot about life. I realized that a smile can make one look more beautiful and make others feel more comfortable. I will try to wear a smile on my face every day. I also found that no matter where you are, you can never avoid competitions. Only trying hard can help you stand out. In addition, the experience aroused my memories of school life in China, which is simple and happy. We shall always cherish the time in schools, in universities, when we are still young.
I am really grateful that I could have this opportunity to experience Junior College life. I am also grateful for students and teachers in Tampines Junior College for treating us so well. I will always kept it as a precious memory and treasure what I obtained all my life.
