English Writing (lesson 19)

Study Technique
Name: Date：

A very good day to all the Form Three students of SMK

Semai Bakti. I am very grateful to our headmaster for giving me

the honour of speaking to you today. I would like to share

with you some study techniques that may be useful in your
preparations for the PT3 exam.

One of the methods of studying that I have found very effective is group
study. It is always easier to understand our lessons

when we revise them with our peers. It is

sometimes easier for students to seek help from their

school friends rather than to approach their

teachers. There is also healhty competition as group

members will not want to fall behind or take part in
discussions unprepared.

Going through past-year exam questions helps as you will get the feel of the

questioning patterns and test your preparedness for the exam.

 Finally, plan your study schedule and mange your
time wisely. Draw up a checklist of things that you need to

accomplish before the exam and set deadlines for

yourself. Be realistic about the objectives you set for

yourself and make sure they are reasonable and

achievable.

I hope that I have been of some assistance to

you in preparing for the exam. Please feel free to talk to

me if you need further advice or clarification. I wish

you all the best in your studies and the exam. Thank you.
