[quote=\"N.Lo\"]I don't think schools allow one paragraph, one sentence. Maybe can ask the MS teacher if this is the way they encourage them to write or is there some other purpose they show them this way? Sometimes I think there is a reason but maybe our kids do not know how to explain? (sidenote, my kids are not at MS but I think most centres would not teach in this way, should be another reason it is done this way?)

Their reasonong is - strat the dialogue/quotation in the new paragraph. This will allow the reader to see and appreciate......(MY DD could not explain more than this:( However, my DD stick to the school format - at least six sentences in one para.

Won't that cause a confusion then in the poor kid...learning something at MS and then learning a different thing at school?[/quote]My DD seems to be ok as she writes in the similar way even for MS compo.

My DD did not bring anything like new syllabus compo except for one (in the very beginning). Are you talking about writers toolbox? Thanks

Yes I am talking about writers toolbox. The new syllabus consist of 3 random pictures which you can make use of at least 1 to write on?

Oh it makes sense to have one paragraph for dialogue as I think that is the right way, each dialogue is a paragraph on its own. But are all the paragraphs dialogues then?

I come across Mindstretcher’s FB yesterday. They are introducing some Chinese ciriculum with photos of some staff at the background. Anyone got any idea if they are starting the Chinese classes soon? If that is true, it will be all rounder tuition centre with 1 stop solution for all.

Normally for subject Chinese -,

parents prefer to send to specialized Chinese centre like Hua, Han, berries, Tien Hsia, Jiang.

Wow, crossing over to eat the Chinese pie too. I believe some parents will send kids for Chinese for the convenience (since MS usually conduct back to back classes), if MS does indeed start Chinese classes

MS already expanded to sec school tuition which I must say that's a very logical move because they retain their p6 graduating students. Already have an existing students base, so it make $sense to capitalize on that
