If you still want to score

...A1 for English, then I suggest you really look at the handout on the Situational Writing Tasks and seriously attempt to practise the various tasks in there. I am now marking the work done by some of your more hardworking compatriots and I wish I had more time to go through the finer points of how to write persuasively, how to apologize, convince, sound urgent, explain, rationalise...etc etc.

So do seek me out while you still have the chance. Otherwise, Mdm Sng will be busy planning for her Dec holiday and the best I can do is to pray that the good Lord will help you on 8 Nov.

Anyone with a Japanese phrase book to lend me?? Nippon here I come!!
