Interview -- The History Education (Singapore)

Why did you choose history to be your teaching subject?

I like to learn about the past. I always think we had better choose the fearture ways of our lives accordding to our interests. " Choosing what you love, and loving what you choose." If we choose one thing but we don't like it very much, it must be a pity. Maybe sometimes you choose what you will be in the feature accorrding to others' ideas, but please always remember, you live for yourself and you are "YOU!!" Each of us is uniqe in the world, nobody can cancel anyone's importance.

What do you hope that your students can learn from History?

To learn about their ancestors and be proud of their heritage.For example in learning about the inventions of the Chinese and the Indians -- eg. the Seismograph, compass, the decimal & numerical system, the solar system etc. We have yo love our hometown 'cause we come form there. When people don't love their hometoen enymore, the town will be dead! The Cvberfair Competition offerd one good chance for students to do a close and good research for their locations.

How do you face the students who don't like to study history and help them get improvement in history?

I teach them to sift out information by asking themselves question as they read. THe reason why student finds it difficult to learn histroy because they memorise everything. This makes learning tedious.

What can we people find from past?

Lesson from the past emulate the suand don't repeat the mistakes. Have you ever repeated your mistakes? We should learn something from past! That's why people can get more improvement for themselves. They know how to improve mostakes and get a better method to achieve thier goals.
