Well actually, I am at Hong Kong, where I am a very fast paced city. Well, I actually am busy all the time, but if you ask me to describe a period which when I am extremely busy for, I would say it’s definitely the public exam period. Because actually I am a full-time student, but I have a part-time occupation in teaching. So, where in that period of time most form 6 students especially, so they will have to attend the test. And before that exam period, so there will be some preparation that might a teacher need to help them. So, I would say this is the most the most the busiest moment that I usually had. To manage it, I would say probably time management is the most important skills, because like I have to manage my time very properly to organize all the stuff as I am in a role of teachers, both teachers and students. Sometimes I even have to sacrifice my personal time to deal with those stuff. So, I would say probably I am extremely exhausted during that period, and sometimes I may even feel hopeless if I saw students with no improvement in their performance.
