Sorry if this sounds stupid, so primary school kids no longer use the hardcopy Chinese dictionary nowadays?

There is an optional item english dictionary for P3 kids in the book list. Yes, those super thick and heavy dictionary but not the chinese electronic dictionary. I bought the english dictionary for my girl last year. It was never bought to school and became my reference book to help my girl in her english. I was suprised when the kids were able to use the chinese electronic dictionary in P3 and I think I am one of the last person knowing it. I bought it at second half of P3 when most kids bought it begining of the year. The electronic dictionary is even lighter than our handphone. Kids are sure very fortunate now. I would not want my kids to bring the thick and heavy ones to school. Their present weight of their school bag is heavy enough.

:rotflmao:


I was given a visitor pass when I went to school general office. Maybe it is under Popular so it is open to public? I also went to the bookshop last year once without any pass given.

OIC. Thanks! I have been sending my kid to buy things on her own and worry sick myself if she managed to get them not.

Ya lor, I think Besta is more popular with the children.

Personally, I felt that besta is more user friendly. I can use it immediately without referring to the instruction guide (no patience for that) :lol: Meanwhile for creative, I had some problem as ds couldn't figure out how to make it sound the words. I gave up after awhile..... :roll: But it sure looks cool.

:lol: Reminds me of the security guard in one of Jack Neo's movies where he don't allow fire engine to park in some reserved lots though it's on fire.


But I agree there is inconsistency. Or maybe depending on when you are going (eg. they are very lax during the school hols due to books buying period).
