Goodness. This is a real blow to me knowing I have colleagues in other schools with such atrocious English. Haaaack.

Taken from the New Paper.

You will be penalised for making grammatical errors in your English exam paper, but what if your English teacher makes such errors in setting the paper?

That’s what happened at a neighbourhood school in the west, where errors were found in a Secondary 3 Express English examination paper.

Students were given the following instructions when asked to write a speech:

“The speech is intended to serve as an encourage and inspiration for your fellow schoolmates. Write a speech to clearly sharing your success story and what advice would you offer to your school mates.”

The school’s principal has acknowledged that the English teacher made a mistake.
