Head of PCCG department: "Let us strive for our girls to get distinctions for the CME exam!"

I think that will just be a sad dream.

Civics and Moral Ed exam today. Examined the sorry state of our morals in half an hour. The whole MCQ section was relatively
-doh- Just testing the kind of values you learn in like, Haogongming in Primary School.

Sample Question:

You see a classmate taking a wallet from someone else's bag. What do you do?
A. Do nothing
B. Tell your form teacher/subject teacher
C. Persuade the friend to return the wallet
D. Leave an unsigned message in the General Office about your friend's wrongdoings.

Hm. Lying when you're answering questions during a CME exam seems rather...ironical :|

But the structured section was a different story altogther. Surprisingly enough, Social Studies came in quite handy for some of the questions such as "List 2 ways to prepare for old age". Hah. Just regurgitated everything from the Population chapter.

Another irony. Gwen, Ann, Sylv and I finished our CME project on Globalization just yesterday and we couldn't answer the question on the same topic during the exam. I guess we shouldn't have just copied and pasted our information from government websites and the SS textbook onto the powerpoint slides after all.

So. What are the benefits of a Global City?

Structured Question #1: Aside from physical challenges, what other obstacles do the aged face?
Amanda: The harsh reality that they are one step closer to their graves.

I think Dorai's going to have a headache marking.

Structured Question #2: More Parents are bringing their wayward kids to court. Is this the best solution? What alternative would you propose?
Amanda: Parents should buy their children more videogames so they'd stay at home more often to play them. Parents could also make use of such oppotunities to talk to and bond with their children.

And this has to be the best of them all.

Gwen: Teach the children CME.

English Prelims tomorrow.

I still don't know the format for formal and informal letters. Sigh.
