STUDENTS moving up to form five face many difficulties, but if they want to be successful they must find a way to overcome these problems. Because the students have moved up to a higher form they will be given more tests and will have more homework to do. These young people are also under pressure from their parents to get higher marks. If they do not do well academically, then their parents will often show their disappointment. Form five pupils also face the problem of boredom, because of dull teaching methods. This is especially so in the area of Chinese history. In order to overcome these problems, students have to organise their time methodically. And when they have holidays they must leave themselves time to relax. This will help to relieve the pressure they have to put up with at school. If teaching was done in smaller groups, students could help each other with their problems. If we can manage the problems, then we can become better students. DOROTHY TANG New Territories
