The last words

I never know how near I am with the parting until I have to face it. Remembering it is about ten months ago, I attended Dalian University of Technology and began living a relatively independent life. Seven months ago, I had to say goodbye to my friends, my parents and my motherland to come to Singapore to start my new life. Now, it is near the time when we graduate from CELC and leave Eton Hall for NUS. In a year, prating happens again and again and I am not able to deny it. I think, what I can do is to leave and carry with these valuable memories.
In Group 5, I met nineteen brothers and sisters, and we live together and help each other. In Basketball Match, Badminton Match as well as Table Tennis Match, though we did not get the very satisfactory results, we stood as a whole and cheered together. In fact, what we got may not only be the joys from the matches, but also togetherness. In classes, we share our ideas and understand each other. Out of classes, we showed our various strong suits, such as basketball, badminton and so on. We keep optimistic and fight for our common goals that are to study English well and learn to live independently. We completed a drama with the help of our tutors to show it to all the people who give us help and care since we arrived at Singapore. Besides, I feel so lucky that I can do a research with Jacky, Veronica and Harry. I am thankful that they help me correct my presentation script and that they teach us how to do a fairy good research. In addition, I am impressive that all the performance are made by my friends in class, I really really learns a lot.
Another lucky thing that I met is that I am taught by our five tutors who are worthy of respect and appreciation. They have different styles of teaching and teach us not only how to learn English well but also how to think and to act. Teacher Christine always advices us to pay an attention to the lovely animals and scenery around us, I realize that life is what we should learn to appreciate and enjoy. She also highlights four abbreviations which are important to a person, namely PP (personal principles), PR (personal responsibilities), and PC (personal choice or personal commitment). In addition, with her help, our last part of drama, “Do, Re, Mi” song become shining when we rehearsal.
Mdm Tan who is our group leader is very responsible. She pays a lot attention to the whole class. She brings some maps as well as encourages us to make some pictures to decorate our tutorial room like our home. She teaches us how to think, and guides us to discuss something related to the moral affairs. Moreover, in my point of view, she is a sensitive person and she always shows us short but encouraging and moving videos which tell the stories that small fishes succeed in doing big things.
Mr Wilson is always kind to us. I think nobody will forget his lovely fruit at each noon and the jokes as well as the stories which are related to his life in army. He likes to focus on the mistakes that we make when we speak or write and he always find them out to elaborate how to use correctly. In addition, he is a well-read man in my view and maybe he benefits from not only his experiences but also Google which he recommends to us almost every class.
Mrs Yep is our fourth tutor, and it is amazing that she is already 75 but looks like 50. She is an excellent story-teller and she also likes to listen to stories from us. Sometimes, she gave us some hard topic of oral report, such as “if you are a Singapore dollar coin, what’s your journey in one day?” “A big thing you do with a little love” etc. Indeed, I appreciate it that I know how to enjoy making up stories and listening to stories.
If you want me to use one word to describe Ms. Lim, I think, the most suitable one is “energetic”. What she has done all show that she is energetic. Based on her hobbies, she likes adventures very much and she does a lot of extreme sports which the men may hesitate to have a try. When she gave us class, she always intends to divide us in some groups to make some discussions even though some parts are hard to discuss. Besides discussions, she also organizes us to make a virtual show successfully. All these really make us energetic in class as well.
Personally, I am rather grateful to all of my tutors. Because they do me a favor when I am in trouble whether it is about my life or study. I do not know say what else besides the endless “Thank you” and maybe what I or we can do is to try our best to pass QET and put them in my heart.
Time is coming when we separate, my friends, tutors and the persons who give me a hand, I want to say” Keep in touch and hope the next we meet, we all could not be better!”
