Kitty:

both appetising and appetizing will be mark correct.

Not sure about this....but DD's Eng tr would mark the class wrong when they spelt colour as color, neighbour as neighbor, realise as realize.

I personally felt unfair as our children expose to US novels and shows . They may learn this words through reading .

this whole PSLE is so nerve-wrecking !

Normally, it is phrased 'Success comes after hard work'
_______ hard work comes success ( PSLE ).

DD's ans : After
My preferred ans : With

Any views?

I think should be \"With\" right ? DS said idiom or collocation. I dun really know what it means :scratchhead:

The answers are just too close. Hr practitioners use the word. \"Elevate\" morale quite frequently too

What about Question 10 Paper 2 (grammar section)? DS cant remember it, but some of his classmates chose Option 1 (is) while others chose Option 3 (was). The question was: \"Grandparents' habit ___ ...... [ds couldnt remember]\".

DD's answer : was
The clue is habit and not grandparents.
At first, she put it as 'is' ... till she saw the word 'became' which is a past tense.

DS2 answer is \"was\" too.

Daughter answered With. I would go with that too but some kids in her class answered After.

First my son wrote their :roll: , then he changed to after, then he changed to with. :scratchhead:
So means he at least checked twice. [/quote]Ds also ans with.

Ladies,

I have no idea what you are discussing about


I decided not to ask too many questions otherwise giving myself unnecessary stress
