MY CLASSMATES

We are a noisy lot that is what our teachers say about us. This is largely due to Ah Keong. He is the noisiest of us all. His voice is like that of a bull frog but volumes louder. It seems he cannot talk softly. Actually he does not talk, he shouts. In this noisy bunch lives a boy who hardly ever opens his mouth. This is Mike, the boy who sits next to me. He is such a gentle and soft creature what one would think that he is a sissy .This is not so. No one dares call him one for he is a member of the school’s Karate club .Then there is Doris, our class monitor. She sits right in front of the teacher’s table .She is such a model student that all the teacher love her. We all love her for she does not boss us around. She was given up doing that long ago .All she does is to make sure that the teachers have sufficient chalk and that the classrooms clean. Right at the back of the class sits our class sleepy head .Mat seems to need more sleep than others. He catches cat-naps in between lessons. The astounding thing is that he can fall asleep almost instantly. The moment the teacher leaves after a lesson, Mat’s snores start up and we know he is at again. Remarkably he wakes up when the next teacher arrives. Every class has s clown. Our class has a jack, otherwise known as “Jocko the Clown”. He is always up to some prank or other ,putting tails on the boy’s pants ,frogs in the girls desks and powdered chalk on he teacher’s chair. So when we hear a girl scream or see men teachers strolling around with chalk on the seat of their pants, we know that Jocko has struck again. The other classmates too have their own unique personalities. Each contributed His or her part to our class. All in all we are a group of young children who perhaps are a bit noisy at time, but on the whole are well-behave and pleasant to be with.
