Homeroom on 8 Aug


On 8 Aug, during Homeroom period, I decided to play My Teacher is a Gangster 2 episode 4. I really feel greatly inspired each time I watch this drama series and the show always rekindles my passion to be a teacher, especially to be a teacher of NA pupils.

Through this episode, I hope to make my pupils realize that every one of them has a bright future ahead of them even though they might not have any ambition right now, therefore they shouldn't give up on themselves.

The VCD that I have only contains Chinese subtitles, so I attempted to overcome this problem by trying to translate the main parts of the plot and the important learning points to English in order to enable the non-Chinese pupils to at least have a slight idea of the show. I hope my translation has been useful.

I was glad that quite a number of my pupils seemed to be enthralled (captivated) by the show, especially Teng Wee, Kevin, Jackson, Xiu Guang, Kuang Sheng, Agnes Lim and even Syafiq. Syafiq even shifted from the last row to the second last row. Although Jasmeet said something hurtful in the middle of my translation that really annoyed me, under Hui Xiang's encouragement, I continued to explain the show after scolding Jasmeet. Thank you, Hui Xiang, for showing great interest in the show and even trying to promote this show to his other friends who were standing outside the classroom.

I wonder how many of you have been touched by this show…
