Happy Chinese New Year everyone! :) I'm too excited about the holidays to sleep early so I thought I'd post some thoughts about this week.
I fell sick on Tuesday and by Thursday, I had almost lost my voice. Poor 4G had to listen to my raspy voice, which broke at several points in almost every sentence I uttered. That's laryngitis for you. I caught a virus that caused my throat to become inflamed and it affected my voice box... leaving me croaking away.
Anyway, it turned out to be not as bad because I had Joshua for my broadcaster and he did an excellent job converting everything I said into indirect speech. Here's an example:
Ms Toh (croaking pathetically): Tell the class they don't need to mark this portion and that divisible by 3 is important. If they don't have divisible by 3, it's wrong.
Joshua (confidently and clearly) : Ms Toh says we don't need to mark this portion.... etc etc.
Imagine having to remember the long chain of stuff I say PLUS convert it to indirect speech. I shall never look at indirect speech the same way again. :p
We also had the Use Your Hands campaign and thanks to Edwin's brainwave (bringing newspapers to school), we've now got sparkling window panes! Thanks again to everyone, for your very enthusiastic spring-cleaning and packing of cupboards and fervent wiping of tables.
Just a few pics of that day.... :)
You can almost see their reflections off the whiteboard!
