IGCSE: living like a wise weasel
=== International General Certificate of Secondary Education: a relatively simple academic program that one may enjoy. ===

A weasel is wild and carefree. Who knows what he thinks? He sleeps in his underground den, his tail draped over his nose. Sometimes he lives in his den for two days without leaving. Outside, he stalks rabbits, mice and birds, killing more bodies than he can eat warm, and often dragging the carcasses home. Likewise, life as an IGCSEer is somewhat similar to that of a weasel.

Of course, I, an IGSCEer, am not wild but at least carefree in school. Apart from dealing with some simple questions, I spend most of my time preparing for standardized tests and having fun! I find everyday homework rather easy so long as I listen carefully to what teachers say during classes. Generally, I can finish all the homework before 6 o’ clock and I will memorize some words, read some novels and write some journals during evening studying periods. I would say, in some respect, I am living like a wise weasel because I know how to organize time and balance between study and extracurricular activities. So one should not be neither a nerd nor a wild weasel; conversely, one should be a wise weasel who finds IGCSE a piece of cake and leads a carefree and balanced life at the same time. As the following PIB students, you don’t need to worry about your academic performance or, simply, your score because you guys are already capable of solving almost all the IGSCE-level questions; what you need to do is to broaden your horizons and accumulate critical reading and writing skills by reading extensively. Also, improving English skills by reading, speaking and writing is of great importance because your English skills serve not only to standardized tests, but also to your overall IGCSE grades! Being able to cope with IGCSE exams with ease, a wise weasel needs to enrich his life with standardized tests, reading, and certainly his hobbies, preferences and worthwhile extracurricular activities.
