First meetings: Part 3

I gave Adrian Ma his first tutoring lesson this afternoon. We went over the entire first unit (out of 14, if I remember correctly).

The pace of progress was a little slower than I expected for the first unit, to be honest, but I hope that we will be able to cover 1 unit every lesson on average. With hard work, frequent revision, and doing many past papers, I'm sure Adrian can raise his Economics grade from a D to an A*.

I also helped out at my first Inter-House event yesterday. It was Year 10 dodgeball. I think I expected it to be a little more fun than it turned out to be; seems there isn't really much for a volunteer to do in House events! It was still a rather interesting experience to see the House dynamics between the year 10s and how House spirit is distributed in their year group in comparison to ours.

And on Monday, I also went to my first Debating club meeting; I forgot to post this earlier. Debating started off average, but it was okay-interesting. What I found most surprising was that I was the only member above year 10 even though t club is open to all year 9 and above. We started off immediately with an impromptu debate. The motion was that "This House believes that Facebook is a hazard to personal security." Our team won. One of the more experienced debaters from year 10, Madhav, complimented me on my debating skill, saying he would talk to Mr. Evershed, the teacher who manages Debating at SIS, about letting me compete in tournaments. I was quite pleased about that. I hope Mr. Evershed really does let me do some tournaments.
