Dear parents, my kid has put NJC as her 1st choice as she's interested in the AEP. May I know if any parents here has gone thru this recently & could you pls kindly share some info ie the selection test process, any pre-requisites for AEP in order to be selected, any interview session, any 'trial lessons' before committing the 4 years, what will happen if kid decides not to continue with AEP at the end of 4 years, what other subject can they take up to replace the AEP subject? How much is the monthly expenses for the art materials & any other expenses ie excursions/trips? Thank you very much!

Just heard about the picture compo’s content.


Main theme: [缺乏] 责任感 (parents went out. sister was using computer and did not realize brother went out with her scooter)
+
sub theme: [没有] 注意个人安全 (younger brother left the house with sister’s scooter without informing her)

A little similar to 2017 ones.

Chen laoshi, if the child only touched on 1 main theme, instead of include both main theme & sub theme, does it translate to lesser mark for content? Thanks!

[quote=patlsy79 post_id=1936137 time=1568958544 user_id=65743]Seem like this year CL score gonna drop cos Oral was also tough ...written papers lagi no eyes see.....

so far, as seen from both two components, Oral and LC, SEAB had set \"surprise, special dishes\" for us to taste.

Maybe, also using us (2019 P6 piggies) to bench-mark, ought to set what kind of questions, for the coming new AL system kick-off implementation (2021)

Thus would be good (regarding CL) to be prepared for

2. compo having main and sub themes (unlike earlier years focusing on 1 main theme) so as to write a more rounded story, e.g. -->
- 2018 main theme: taking care of personal items/not to be careless; sub theme: honesty
- 2017 main theme: being aware of personal safety; sub theme: being responsible & taking care of sibilings[/quote]Chen laoshi, thanks for sharing. Could you pls advc what's the strategies to write a good compo (for both content & language) with sub theme, in view of the time mansgement challenge ie 50min, my dd always complain of not enuv time to check, resulting many 错字. It's pretty time consuming to plan those 动作描写、心理描写 etc, Many Thanks!

Hi ay33, there are some guidebooks that explains how to 審题 but it's usually just mentioned over a couple of pages/lines. Indeed, practicing how to identify key words help - this is true for many Paper 2 sections too. Another tip is to keep probing by asking yourself questions using the 6何法 - aka 5W1H.

You can consider taking pictures of content pages of the various compo books and use those questions as 審题practices for your child.

E.g. 2015 PSLE HCL 完成文章 question
放学后，同学们都带着愉快的心情回家了，教室里只剩下我一个人。我满怀心事，因为那件事完全是由我引起的。我带着沉重的心情走向教师办公室… …

keywords: 放学后, 只剩下我一个人, 我满怀心事, 由我引起, 带着沉重的心情, 走向教师办公室
questions: why you remained in class, how were you feeling, what incident could have possibly been caused by you, when did the incident happen, who did it affect, why were you heading to the office with a heavy heart, why do you need to go and find the teacher etc.

Hi! Chen Laoshi, thank you so much for your help & guidance!

Hope all parents are accepting or satisfied with the SA1 results so far. My child and myself have been engine down since last week.
We realised we need to improve our chinese composition greatly . Apparently my child can speak and blah blah blah away in oral like a magician, but in compo the sentences are all affected because 口语 and 写作 is really quite different.

Anybody can recommend a really good chinese compo book? I would have to sit down and study with her ... sigh
I bought one recently and my child asked me how come the pictures are so wierd like it is not about an event that happened but is more general for eg buying fruits !????

Hi, for my dd, i prefer buying those compo books that explain the technique used / good phrases, just to share these few but i'm not affiliated to any of these in anyway:
- 梯阶作文（高级）by Marshall Cavendish
- Chinese compo books by Mindstretcher
- 作文我最強 P5/P6 by EPH
She also read 绘图小说 by this publisher 红蜻蜓。

Hi Chen laoshi,


How to strengthen 審题？besides circle key words, so to avoid going out of point? Can u recommend compo books that teach such technique? Many Thanks!

Hi, i am interested to takeover P5/P6 subjects. Pls let me know if anyone is letting go. Thanks very much !
