Is Secondary 2 English Hard? Common Hurdles Faced by Students
Secondary 2 English can be extremely hard for students, especially because its curriculum is more difficult than Secondary 1 English and introduces completely new lessons. For this reason, S2 English students may face the following challenges:
Struggling to take examinations
As secondary school is more determinative of a student’s future, students will experience pressure to do well in exams. Teachers, peers, and parents could be contributing factors to a student experiencing stress and anxiety over their exams, as they are made aware that these exams are important for their future. Students may be discouraged after they do badly in one exam, which could affect their performance in future exams.
Failure to manage time properly
Students in secondary school for the first time will experience a whole new schedule, which could feature more intense commitments both academically and outside the classroom. As such, it is often difficult to allocate time to study for all the student’s subjects at once, and students may feel more burdened by their commitments.
Difficulty comprehending complex sentences
As a student progresses through secondary school, they will need to be capable of reading and understanding complex sentences. Students struggle with longer sentences and with words that are not commonly used in conversations. As such, students need to be widely read and they need to practice writing instead of simply messaging online or speaking all the time.
Failure to read between the lines
Reading between the lines is a valuable skill as it requires an understanding of the meaning the author is trying to convey by looking at the context and the setting of the passage. Often, students miss the point of a passage and fail to understand what the author means, leading to them misunderstanding comprehension questions.
