SAMPLE (based on week 1)

The lecturer droned on and on. In our hearts, we were lamenting what bad luck we had to be badgered into attending this lecture on "Immunology". What drudgery! If only we could escape from it all, unfortunately, we were seated right in front, under the watchful eyes of our form teacher who was just right behind us. We could not even move an inch; otherwise, she would definitely perceive us negatively. Our fate would be sealed forever.

After what seemed to be an interminable wait, the lecturer announced that there would be a five-minute break. Five minutes only! We were to return for the second part of the lecture on "Friendly virus".

"Help!" we implored silently.
