HOLIDAY HOMEWORK 18 AUG TO 26 AUG

Welcome to my English Blog again, Boys and Girls of Form 4!

You have just completed the 2nd Mid-semester examinations. Well done!

Now, it is the one-week holiday break. Enjoy yourself relaxing for a day or two then do some serious reading and writing.

So, don’t forget to do the BP Essay, “Climate Change” in 1200 – 2000 words and pass it up as soon as you come back to school on 27 August. Read up on the climate changes from the internet but you must not copy the articles but write your own essay in your own style and words and with maturity.

Look up this website to help you with ideas for writing this topic.
