Interview with Mrs Gladys Pang

Today while at the English class, I decided to interview Mrs Gladys Pang for today’s post. She first said she didn’t want to share as it was fishy but soon after managing to convince her she started to talk.

I asked her a few questions but she declined to answer them. However finally she started to share some advices with me as I said that she was an inspirational figure to many students in the school.

Mrs Pang said she didn’t want to be a teacher at the start and it was never her dream. But however she came to teaching with a lot of hardwork and good results.

Her advice is that first you work smart. She said that there is no point studying for 5 hours and nothing goes in your brain. You write paragrahs , do lots of working and in the end you still don’t get it. However if youre smart you can try different ways of learning such as drawing up mindmaps with a lot of colours in it . This makes us have the attraction to study as colours are attractive which can immediately grabbing our attention. So by this we can save time. She said from maybe 5hours you can cut down 2hours and study in this wau. This is called the studying smart habit.

‘’ Don’t study hard , study smart’’ .

The next advice she gave don’t hide your talents. Many students have talent but they often don’t express it as they are fearful to get negative comments. We should try to expose as much of our talents , even if we aren’t good at something we can always improve on it. So never hide your talents and just let the world know what you can do.

Final advice she gave is just be yourself. I asked her why she puts the weird face and she said its just being herself . Haha :)  . No offence , what im trying to interpret is that many people may find you weird and all that , but the best is to be yourself. First people may not like it, but slowly they will start to adapt to it. But if you wanna copy the style of others and be cool , it is never cool. Just be yourself. You cant be others , you can only be yourself. You are special , you are unique.

When I heard the advices from her , I really found it meaningful as sometimes even I study for late hours. But ive never tried changing my study habits. No point spending 5hours when you can master the topic in hour. It’s not how long you study , its how much you study and how much goes to your head.

Thanks for the advice Mrs Pang , each day I will try my best to interview one teacher.

Cheers :)
