A class of 33 fifth formers from Five Arif at SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh decided to turn their English essays into a book rather than waste their hard work.
One of the fifth formers, Azalea Azarae, said the class was given the task of writing 30 essays, each 1,500 words long, during their year-end holidays last year.
“Our English teacher Puan Shantini (Karalasingam) wanted us to hand in our work on the first day of school this year,” she said, after representing her class in presenting copies of the book, entitled You Should Read This ... From Teens to Teens, to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the Education Ministry.
Well done: Muhyiddin congratulating the students of SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Buluh for the hard work they have put in to compile their essays into a book.
She said Muhyiddin congratulated them on their book and encouraged them to work hard.
Fellow student Amizah Sulaiman, said after handing over the 900-odd essays to the teacher, they held a discussion and decided to compile the essays into a book.
“But as we could not put all 900 essays in, we formed an editorial panel, comprising fellow students who are good in English, to decide,” she said.
Classmate Lee Lai Fong said every student’s essay is in the book, with some having two.
“All the hard work is worth it now,” she added. SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh principal Abdul Hakim Kassim said he was proud of his students as they had done all the work themselves.
