Hi Dyh,

Thesentences for 默写 are actually extracted from an actual compo. I've compiled the whole year's compo for P3. These are actually 好词好句.
Occasionally you can refer to some of these mo xie sentences to do a compo.

Hi, yeah I do realize that the moxie sentences help a lot when it comes to compos. Where can I find those actual compos you mentioned? do they have such a book for sale? what's the title? TIA

Hi Dyh,

There isn't a book on those pic for sale, but the teacher will give out compos for the kids to do and sometimes you will find the pictures rather 'familiar'.
As for compo, I get this 'Chinese Essay Writing Guidebook' by Victoria Publications. This year, I've 'handed over' the responsibility of teaching Chinese to the tutor. On my end, I'll test him spelling and revise with him. It's getting harder to teach Higher Chinese at P4

Hi, thanks for the advice. Will also look out for the book you mentioned.

Hi Dyh,

No problem
There are 3 in the 'series': Elementary (P3-4), Intermediate and Advance (P5-6).

BTW, is your child in P4 too ?

They indeed help the kid in their compo. writing. When I discuss with mine in some topics, its much easier to guide her what phrases to use. Hard works do pay.

Initially I wondered about the merits of moxie. Why need to memorize as long as you know how to write? But after thinking about it, I think moxie ( memorizing) is good for the child in the long run. It will help when writing composition and constructing sentences...especially for those who don't speak Chinese at home.

My dd's moxie is tomorrow. Her moxie is also the beginning of a chinese compo. I will see whether the teacher reads out to them for P2. She told me her teacher told them to memorise though. Her ting xie comprises of short phrases and sentences which she could write without having to learn. It's the moxie that is a little challenging because she is not used to writing in that manner. However, I agree with you that in the long run, it will help her with compo writing.

During P2, nope, her tr did not read out. She expected them to memorise, any missing word/punctuation, marks will be deducted. And your kid is really good, mine had to learn, if not, sure cannot make the mark. CL was a foreign language until she started P1.

Thanks. I am sure your girl has improved since she started studying in PH. I felt my dd would have given up learning chinese if I am not around to encourage her. Nowadays, kids are surrounded with English-speaking friends, it's quite difficult to get them interested in Chinese. My dd's first language was mandarin but has been speaking less and less of it. Lower pirmary Chinese may still be manageable but I think she may when she moves up. So, I am trying hard to keep her on her toes to practise chinese everyday. Practising more and getting more correct helps her to stay interested.
