Early Admission to University

More than 400 students with excellent results in the HKCEE were admitted to university under the Early Admission Scheme (EAS) last year. The top 420 HKCEE scorers will be allowed to skip Form Seven and start their university courses in September this year.

I would rather study one more year without skipping Form Seven at secondary school. I don't want to miss out the study that I will do in Form Seven with my school classmates. The study, I believe, will equip me with more basic knowledge for my future university study.

Comprehension Skill

I've found my comprehension skill is weak. I read very slowly. Whenever there are new words in the passage, I slow down to guess the meaning. And if I can't, I just leave it.

Today, I think I've learnt to improve my reading by doing three different things. Firstly, I learn I can read something that fits my English level. Secondly, I learn to time myself when I read. So, it helps increase my speed of reading. Thirdly, I learn that I can repeat reading anything that is an interest to me.

To conclude, I must learn to understand and remember when I read. This helps improve my comphrehension skill and learn new words. To make sure I can remember what I read and I can read faster, I should re-read as much as I can.
