Continuing education in Medicine distinguishes itself by a learning practice known as "rounds". During rounds, young and experienced physicians come together to share knowledge and practice clinical diagnostic skills. Doctors move from patient to patient in a hospital ward to discuss each patient's case. Education has fewer opportunities for this kind of collaborative life-long professional learning. To stay abreast of current developments in our field while continuing to teach, we at Wiseman today begin an initiative to collect, review and share experiences with our learning community. Welcome to Rounds at Wiseman.

Students’ Views on English Builder

“English Builder helps me learn English in a fun way. Every lesson has an interesting, small video clip that's in English. It uses vocabulary and describes new words well. It also helps you pronounce so it improves your pronunciation. EB helps me in every area of English because it separates each lesson into 4 parts: Listening, Vocabulary, Reading and Speaking. "Listening" helps me to understand what is happening and listen to find out the answers. "Vocabulary" helps me use the words that I learnt in the lesson while learning other new words in the sentences. "Reading" helps me evaluate what I read, visualize it, think about it, and then answer the questions. "Speaking" lets me read sentences on my own and gives me good practice. I think my English has improved drastically over the past months.” - Chow U Yen Andrew (7D) Diocesan Boys' School

“By doing English Builder, I improved my comprehension skills, it gave me a wide range of word choices, and sometimes it even provided me with critical news such as the news on the recent election of America's President. Sometimes I had fun while working on English Builder, for instance, one time there was pop music for the passage.” - Si Chun Yin Cameron (7T) Diocesan Boys' School

“With the help of English Builder, I have learnt a lot of English vocabularies. I also improved my listening skills.” - Yip Shing Yau (1C) Kowloon Tong School (Secondary Section)

“What I like about English Builder is that I can always get the latest news video clip in it. Unlike those showing on TV, the video clips shown in English Builder are often interesting and eye-catching. … Anyway, I wish English Builder to be as popular as Facebook! ” - Hermia Chik (6C) Maryknoll Convent School

“English Builder has given me more chances to learn about the news of the world when I'm too busy to read newspapers or watch the news on TV. I like seeing my name in the top rankings. English Builder can be a bit more difficult though. I like challenges.” - Cheryl Chu (1C) Maryknoll Convent School

“English Builder helps me to improve my listening skills by doing listening exercises such as listening questions in reading parts and sentences in vocabulary parts.” - Ho Sze Ling (6A) Nam Wah Catholic Secondary School

“I think English Builder taught me a lot of words which I didn’t know, I also learned more about patience, as a lesson demands 20-30minutes. First I didn’t want to do it, but I attempted to do a lesson and I felt it was very easy. Then I started doing English Builder every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and got a mark of 2786. I learned a lot of things in English Builder, and I hope I can continue learning.” - Cheng Ka Kit (1D) NLSI Peace Evangelical Secondary School

“There is a large variety of passages and assessments with English Builder. They follow our daily life and current affairs that attract me to go through the passage with my whole concentration. My English's skills have been improved and I have extended my 'vocabulary storeroom'.” - Li Sze Man Angel (4E) Po Leung Kuk No. 1 W H Cheung College

“English Builder has listening and reading parts. In the listening part, I can listen to the video and the questions, to improve my English level in listening. In the reading part, it has underlined the vocabulary words in blue, so I can check the meaning of it and remember it, so I have more vocabulary in my brain. English Builder provides grammar exercises once a month. Because of these exercises, I think grammar is amazing. Because I have done many exercises, I find I have made a big improvement in my exam and in English Builder.” - Tai Chit Yam (3N) Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College

“I like English Builder which is a learning journey for me. By getting higher marks, I have become confident in English. By learning vocabulary, I can use more suitable words in my writing.” - Lau Ho Yin (3E) Sha Tin Government Secondary School

“English Builder is very useful in giving me chances to listen to native English. Moreover, the vocabulary provided is very useful and enables me to have a wide variety of words to use in writing compositions. Last but not least, English Builder helps me improve my reading skills through providing some interesting passages for reading assessment.” - Yim Kwan Lok (6H) SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School

“English Builder teaches me new vocabulary through interesting and daily-life-related articles and English pop songs. It also trains up my listening skills through listening to the articles and doing recitation. It's more fun to use English Builder than textbooks to learn English.” - Cheng Hung Yee (L63) St Catharine's School for Girls

“English Builder can improve my English listening and reading. I can do my exercises at home without a teacher and get the answers immediately even during my holidays. This increases my opportunities to use English.” - Li Hiu Nga (5R) St Catharine's School for Girls

“Web-based education is the most efficient form of learning nowadays, combining knowledge and fun. I enjoy English Builder very much and at the same time my English improves - speaking, listening, reading and vocabulary.” - Leung Kin Keung Leslie (1D) St. Paul's College

“Actually, English builder is such a great system that we can learn English easily from the website. And because it includes four parts, I can even practice my pronunciation and learn lots of new vocabulary every week. I think the reading part is really useful and the topic is always interesting. I really enjoy using this system to learn English. Thanks.” - Cheung Yiu Lun (41) STFA Seaward Woo College

“I personally feel that English Builder provides me with a very fun, easily accessible way of enhancing my English language skills and overall confidence.” - Rory Chi Wai Lyon Fong (6C) YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College
