I have encouraged my students that given enough time and effort they will
definitely "conceive" and proudly produce their "baby" ie. a written piece of work.
Through creative writing classes, many students have truly discovered their potential. Even the seemingly weak students have been able from time to time produce "masterpieces" as examplified by Qiu Kewei's poem.
SIR ISAAC NEWTON
Newton sat under an apple tree,
By Jupiter? Guess what did he see!
He saw an apple falling down,
Gravity was the answer he found.
His laws of motion are dreadful,
And his law of universal gravitation is a handful,
Hence, when the teacher began, "Newton's..."
We, at once, corrected him, "Nuisance..."
How we wish Newton had sat under a durian tree
For when the thorny fruits did fall,
He would surely be hurt by the thorns,
Then he'd say, "Wow! That durian surely
weighs a metrical "New ton"!

Qiu Kewei, being one of the weakest in English Language worried
a lot, but through encouragement gradually improved. He managed to get a 5 for his
English and English Literature in the "O' level examination.
