Well done, son!


I've never heard of UNSW Global before my son told me he wanted to take part in an assessment offered by Education Assessment Australia (EAA), a wholly owned enterprise of the University of New South Wales.

In view that he's in a public school, I encouraged him to take the assessment in order to compare his standards with students from various types of school.

I am indeed happy with his result. He scored a distinction which stated that his English writing is "better than 96 per cent of Form 2 students in Malaysia". The areas which he didn't do well were highlighted behind the result slip. Oh ya, a certificate is given too!

Since young my son was an avid reader. He has a flair for language & good in Bahasa Malaysia too. Now I wish he can put in more effort in his Chinese subject which I "force" him to continue studying. Son, I'm very sure you can do it if you put in more effort!

夫人,謝謝您的提醒。我相信您女兒一定考得很好。
我記得她去年曾獲得由The Oxford & Cambridge Society Of Malaysia主办的英文作比赛第三名.我曾跟孩子們提起過此事,鼓勵他們有日也可嘗試.

Thanks for your words of encouragement again, Uncle Lee. Yes, I do feel proud of my son. So far he's also quite a responsible & sensible boy too. Even though at times he'll argue with me to put his point across, most of the time he knows his limit and doesn't give me big headache :-)

Hi Eugene, thanks for your advice. Actually my son is not the "guai guai zai" type of bookworm... Apart from reading, he has many other interest : watching movies, soccer, archery, fencing, paintball & go batting cage. Earlier he kept pestering me to let him join the shooting club and I said NO. He's crazy about guns & has an encyclopedia of it. He loves playing X-box but i limit it to weekends only. The only thing i approve him to play everyday is piano, ha ha.
