Stress

I presume some of you might have already seen the whole list of Chinese words listed in my previous entry.

Well, initially I put it up because I didnt bring home this list of words to study for my Chinese test. Thus, I typed the whole list out on my blog after finding out the words from David to facilitate my studying. Thanks David!

Ok then, I shall talk more about it.

That looks like a vast amount of words to study, memorise and learn how to apply them, doesnt it?

If you are already traumatised by this sheer number of words, wait till you see ALL the words that we are required to comprehend.

What you are seeing now is just merely a tip of an iceberg.

Take the number of words that I posted and multiply by 8 (4 years X 2 parts to each year), and you'll get an astronomical value.

1500.

I can see that your jaws are dropping in disbelief.

Believe it.

Only 1500, some may think.

But hello?!?! 1500 words to memorise their strokes, meanings and how to apply them!

Even though Chinese Language is my forte, but I still feel intimidated by this massive amount of words we have to master, much less those in my class who are "Chinese-illiterate".

No wonder all of us are so stressed.

Wei Xin has strands of white hair. Shiu Yuen's head is also greying. And Mitchell even needs someone to pluck out his white hair.

Talk about stress.
