After the ceremony, Mr. Tim gave a speech titled "How Can I Improve My English Quickly?", followed by a summary speech by Mr. Philip, the Academic Dean.
Many students struggle with English, often saying things like, "I have no time to study English", "Maths / Physics / Chemistry are more important", or "I’ll do an intensive course after my finals." This leads to a stagnation in their English proficiency.
Mr. Tim emphasized that students must prioritize English to improve quickly. "English is just as important as other subjects!" he stated.
Mr. Tim advised students to: Read for at least 1 hour each day, Read what interests you, Build vocabulary lists from reading, etc.
Academic Dean Mr. Philip stated that learning English is a long-term process, and students should create study plans and expand their vocabulary daily.
