I feel very desolate without my wife next to me. What if I play the piano with her? I wish she could have<br />

talked to me before she died. Why did she have to die?<br />

Suddenly something appeared next to me whilst I was playing, it was my wife as a ghost. She played the<br />

tune with me. Her soft lips leaning over to kiss me…I closed my eyes to remember but then you were<br />

gone.<br />

Loss…it reminded me about the war when my brother got shot! I felt like I was solitary. Why was it not me<br />

that got shot? Why was it him that had to die?<br />

Feeling of selfishness for letting him go out there. I play the piano again to try and take away the pain.<br />

Recalling happier times; my family, my childhood. The wooden horse, that I loved so dearly, now the<br />

favourite toy of my grandson. I feel the memories and they remind me of the good and bad times. My<br />

grandson comes and sits next to me at the piano and smiles as he plays the last note. Life goes on and our<br />

tune will continue.<br />

Easy Exams?<br />

By Oie<br />

Imagine how it would feel if you could<br />

change school rules to ones you like!<br />

How about taking home examinations? It<br />

would be great, wouldn’t it?<br />

Most students have their examinations at<br />

the school’s main hall and it is a fact that<br />

all the students need to take their exams<br />

at the school. However, would it be a<br />

good idea if the students will be taking<br />

their exams in the comfort of their dorm or<br />

home? But is taking a home exam really<br />

a blessing or is it a curse in disguise?<br />

A large number of students love the idea<br />

of taking their exam at home. It will take<br />

you feel more comfortable, relaxed and<br />

you will not fears about your exams. You<br />

will be given a plenty of time to complete<br />

your exams, edit your answers; a lot more<br />

time than you would have sitting in the<br />

main hall on exam day. It would be also a<br />

less mysterious and you do not need to<br />

spend hours studying in advance.<br />

However, one of the main arguments that<br />

some students from other schools might<br />

think in the bad way because it would not<br />

be fair that all the answers did not came<br />

into their own brains. The students who<br />

took the exams at home may get the<br />

qualification, but do they deserve to get<br />

it?<br />

In conclusion, it would be a good idea if<br />

you are taking your exams at home, but<br />

bear in mind, would it be an advantage<br />

for yourself in the future?
