Well, my tuition student (who's in Sec 1) is extremely weak in
English. It's becoming a liability in his Science and Maths as well
- half the time he simply can't comprehend what's being
taught.
For example, in a Maths question he was asked to find the amount of
soil excavated when a tunneling device is bored through soil. He
totally didn't know the meaning of 'excavated' and 'bored through
soil' - and as such, he couldn't answer the question.
