Some word guides

In case there are some people who still do not know, I have left teaching to go studying.. here it is again.

I am now a student!

And here are some references for you in case you do not understand why i use such words.

Lecture hall is a place in which all the students taking that subject have to go listen to what their teacher is teaching on a particular day. Usually our teachers are called lecturers, because they give a lecture.

Then we have tutors.
Tutors are teachers who teach you in the classroom. And in this case this class room is called a tutorial room and we dont say lessons, we say we are having tutorials. We usually ask our tutors all the questions we have on the particular topic if we have any, and he or she will help us sort things out.

in a lecture hall, there can be a few hundred students. In a tutorial room, there are usually only 10 or more.

This change in the names of the classrooms will come about in your life, when you are in Junior College or Polytechnics.

So are you ready for this change?
