Composed individually based on a story of our choice from Catherine Lim's Little Ironies

The Teacher
Teacher teaching us subjects
Everyday except for weekends and holidays
Not a day can they rest

going to sit for General Certificate of Education
In three months time
But her English was still not improving

Teachers teach us Vocabulary, Grammar, Tenses and usage of English
But we never take their teachings serious
Still the same
Writing essay with lots of mistakes

A secondary four student
Seem timid on the outside
Wrote an essay on the title ‘My Happiest Day’ and ‘My ambition’
Out of the whole essay,
Only had one sentence correctly written
If called by teacher to answer a question
She will be ready to faint in fright any minute

Her composition was getting worse everyday
The teacher hop to help her
Call her in for some extra coaching
But in vain she had to give her a F9

News reached the school fast
the girl committed suicide
By jumping down from the eleventh floor
The teacher wanted to help her
But she was too shy and timid to speak up
