"The Teacher- by Catherine Lim"
Look, said the teacher to the colleague who was sitting beside him in the staffroom.
Look at this composition written by a student in Secondary Four. Shes supposed to have
had ten years of studying English, and see what shes written! Ill read it to you. The title
of the composition is My Happiest Day.
The teacher read, pausing at those parts which he wanted his colleague to take particular
note of: My happiest day it is on that 12 July. I will tell you of that happiest day. My
father wanted me to help him in his cakes stall to sell cakes and earn money. He say I
must leave school and stay home and help him. My younger brothers and sisters they are
too young to work so they can go to school. My mother is too sick and weak as she just
born a baby. Can anything be more atrocious than this? And shes going to sit for her
exams in three months time! And listen to this:
I was very sad because I dont like to sell cakes I like to learn in school. But I am scare,
my father, he will beat me if I disobeyed him so I cannot say anything to him. He asks me
to tell my principal of my school that I am not going to learn any more. I was scare my
principal will ask me questions.

Lucky my mother came home from the hospital where she born the baby, and my mother
say to my father that I should learn in school and become nurse later. So I can earn more
money. Sell cakes not earn so much money. She begged my father and at last my father
agree. I think he agree because he was in good mood. If in bad mood like drunk he will
beat my mother up and make trouble in the house. So my mother told me I was no need
to stop learning in school. And that was the happiest day in my life which I shall never
forget.
The teacher said slowly and thoughtfully, I wonder why most of them write like that?
Day in, day out, we teach grammar and usage. For my part, Ive taught them the use of
the Tenses till Im blue in the face, but they still make all kinds of Tense mistakes! Ive
drummed into them that when narrating a story, they have to use the Past Tense, but I still
get awful mistakes such as the ones you heard just now.
A week later, the teacher was correcting composition exercises in the staffroom again.
And again he dropped his head into his hands in despair. It was a different colleague
sitting beside him this time. He showed her a page from an exercise book and said: What
do you think of this as a specimen of Secondary Four Composition? I give up! I resign!
Ah, theyre all like that, sighed his colleague in sympathy. You should see the grammar
mistakes I get from my Pre-University students, mind you, Pre-University.
The teacher read the lines that had given him most pain. Now look at this: I would like
is become a nurse and successful career so I have a lot of money with luxuries, by
the way, I had asked them to write on My Ambition so I can buy a house for my
mother and brothers and sisters this is the only sentence in the whole composition
that is correct grammatically.
Listen to this one, can you make anything of it? and my favourite ambition I must strive
very hard if I have no ambition to help my mother and brothers and sisters they is sure to
suffer for my father he dont care at all everytime come back from selling cakes only he
must drink and spend all money on drinks and sometimes he beats my mother. Its that
Tan Geok Feng from Secondary Four C, you know that timid, mousy-looking girl who
looks ready to faint in fright the moment you call her to answer a question. You know,
Im getting very worried about the standard of English in my class. I think Tan Geok
Feng and the likes of her need extra Saturday coaching, or theyll never pass the exams.
Three months away, I tell them. Just three months in which to polish up your grammar
and vocabulary, and write the first decent composition in your life!
The extra coaching did not save the poor teacher from the despair he was experiencing.
Ah! he said, shaking his head sadly, what shall I do? Read this nonsense! Let me see
yes, its from that girl, Tan Geok Feng again that girl will be the death of me. Listen to
this! She was supposed to write a story with the title The Stranger and all she did was
write a great deal of trash about her father He canned me everytime, even when I did
not do wrong things still he canned me she means caned of course and he beat
my mother and even if she sick, he wallop her. This composition is not only terribly
ungrammatical but out of point. God, I wish I could help her!
When the news reached the school, the teacher was very upset and said, Poor girl. What?
She actually jumped from the eleventh floor? Such a shy, timid girl. If only she had told
me of her problems. But she was always too shy and timid to speak up.

Teacher will let the students read it silently.


Teacher will give the biography of the author and will discuss
further the lesson derived from this story.
C. Post-Reading
The students will be asked if they have understood the story.
Then, the students will be asked as well to write their good/bad
experiences with their teachers.
And lastly for the assignment, the student will be asked to write their
reflection or insight based on the story...
