On the sight of seeing the cat chasing the toy mouse, the children laughed.

I think the word 'seeing ' is redundant.. Since sight already means see.
Can some English guru enlighten us..

Thanks. Do u think that several answers might be accepted for some of the synthesis qns? :?

Yes, I definitely think so.

I must stress that I am a private tutor, not an MOE school teacher. Therefore, I am not privy to the official answer sheets supplied to the PSLE markers. However, I can reasonably infer that there will be flexibility. If an authorised PSLE marker is in doubt, there will be a senior teacher (and ultimately a moderator) on hand to rule on the matter.

I do not think that the PSLE syllabus or the answer sheets are so micro-managed that they cover all permutations.

What gets students high marks in public examinations such as the PSLE English paper is, in my opinion, a good, solid grounding in the language, rather than memorising specific formulaic ways of doing things, ‘short-cuts’ and last minute September camps and the like.

I am happy to be corrected. I treat corrections as ways for me to learn and do not resent them as challenges, so if any official MOE teacher wishes to question anything I have written such as flexibility in PSLE marking or my suggested answers, then please go ahead; we can all learn.

It is 65%

thank you, but did they ask for the number of printers sold or unsold?

Can some English guru enlighten us..[/quote]I am only an apprentice-guru, but you are correct: 'seeing' is redundant. Therefore, the sentence should be:

On the sight of the cat chasing the toy mouse, the children laughed.

Sorry asking on behalf of my friend. Our kids are taking psle next yr.


Just want to ask whether kids are allowed to use pencil? If yes, any specific type ie. 2B or 3B

My friend’s ds has been using 3B pencil for all school examinations/tests. Thanks in advance.
