Of what we do for GP
Just a note about GP, especially when you might be asking:
Why is Mr Lo teaching us this? Why are we doing this in class?
GP is essentially an arts subject. What this means is that what you have and will study in class (and on your own) do not have a 100% chance that it will be tested in your A levels exams. However, along the way, you will pick up skills, through extensive reading, writing and discussion. In addition, the skills you have picked up for GP will serve you well in your future endeavours, especially so when applying for scholarships and the numerous interviews you have to attend; your term and thesis papers in university, and future jobs that you will take on.
So you might ask, how much of what we learn now will appear in our A level exams?
Honestly speaking, 10% or less.
But think of the bountiful amount of skills you will pick up, the knowledge and appreciation you have for English and all its comeliness.
So think twice when asking Why is Mr Lo teaching us this? Why are we doing this in class? because I will just wring your neck off if you do that!
