      Jennifer:

      My boy told me (only this morning) that the class is going to write a CL compo in the class. No luxury of checking with me the characters :lol:


      He also got back his first CL compo (before attending the tuition), just passed. Asked him if the CL teacher had written any comments for improvement, he said no. Like this how to improve on next one?

      My dd also just passed and was deducted 3 marks for not meeting the min 500 words requirement :stupid: She was not aware of that šŸ˜ž
      Btw they are having EL compre test today, hope it is a smooth sailing test for them :xedfingers:

      Was your dd's compo topic \"A unforgetable person\"?

      I thought this topic is very difficult for my boy. There is hardly such character in his life. Most pple he knows are still around and does not really qualify as unforgetable. In the end, we settled for his P6 Sci teacher. Of course could not write any thing good about this person. It is precisely our dislike for him that made him an unforgetable person. However, the CL tuition tutor told my boy that in such topic, one should write of only the good stuff about the person. Hiaz.

      Today's topic seems also not easy. My boy told me about this compo early this morning when my brain still has not started working šŸ˜‰ I only remembered telling him to write the two sides of the coin and then take a stand. Hopefully can make it a 500 words compo.

                Are you aware if there exists model compo compilations that we can refer to?

                    There was one test that my boy told me that the teacher played from a recorder. My boy said the voice quality is not very good and he and a few others misheard a few words. On top of this sound quality issue, the voice recorder also speaks in a slightly different accent. Maybe that's why your girl did not do well?

                    Most impt is the children enjoy learning it šŸ˜‰

                      The class was shown a cartoon video clip ytd. A kiwi bird nailed some trees along the side of a cliff. Then the bird jumped down the cliff, passed the trees and ended at the bottom of the cliff, apparently dead.

                      My boy could not write 500 words, think he is going to fail this compo.

                      I think this topic is way too cheem for him. No wonder the teacher let them know the topic ahead, maybe hopefully the kids can discuss with someone and then come up with ideas to write?

                      Dun think there will be model compo like this.
