As opposed to most other students that belong to the same tertiary institution that I am currently in, my holiday has just only begun after 6 weeks. Ah yes, strictly speaking of course. What does a holiday mean? In early primary school, holiday means holiday assignments, loads of holiday assignments, and loads of holiday assignments to finish - last minute. In the higher primary level, holiday means holiday assignments, load of holiday assignments and racing with classmates to finish up all the holiday assignments as soon as they were distributed - usually one or two weeks before the actual commencement of holidays. This is the life one would get if he was from a Chinese-medium School. In lower secondary school, holiday means no assignments, time to play so crazily until one still can afford to hack care of all other assignments when the school reopens. Now that, was the National Secondary School. In higher secondary level, holiday means assignments, tonnes of holiday assignments, compulsory remedial classes and they are just sometimes 'unfinishable'. In pre-university level, holiday means common tests after the holidays, and common tests and the end of every week. In the first year one would be assigned to do Project Work, which will be graded and considered for University admission. Eh, isn't this some kind of resemblance and remind you of something just mentioned above? What does holiday actually mean? Soon I am sure, it will be --- The Relaxation Time |
