Hi PSLEstress, If I were to make a guess, there won't be any question requiring u to choose between the 2. Reason is bcos these 2 words very often may be used interchangeably. Superfluous examples r only for reference.

I would like to find news/magazine articles to expose my son to read on a daily basis. Is there any recommendation on when I can get a daily dose of such articles?

Hi!
Most primary schools in Singapore subscribe to newspapers (such as 《好朋友》、《知识画报》、《知识报》、《小拇指》和《大拇指》) for their Chinese students. If your child's sch does not subscribe these newspapers, you can check the following websites to see if you can read the content online or you can subscribe yourself.
1) 《好朋友》、《知识画报》、《知识报》: https://www.ezhishi.net/
2)《小拇指》、《大拇指》: http://www.zbcomma.sg/

Hi, does anyone know the marking scheme of the comprehension? Looking at my dc's practice and exam papers, I noticed that certain 3 or 4 marks questions were given very low marks although the answers were quite closed to the model answers. TIA.

Hi!
The only mark scheme that I'm aware of is that for each question:
1) 2 wrong words will deduct 0.5 marks. But if that 1 wrong word will affect the meaning of the sentence, the teachers can also deduct 0.5 marks immediately.
2) Wrong sentence structure (not fluent), a minimum of 0.5 marks will be deducted.
3) Wrong pronoun or include pronoun for the \"fill-in-table\" question, 0.5 marks will be deducted.
4) Write more than necessary, marks will also be deducted.

Some parents do have similar misconception that if my child's answers are similar to the model answers, he or she should be given more marks.

Marks are not given based on the keywords alone, but whether the children understand the passage and the through the formation of the sentences, able to convey the message clearly is what the teachers are looking out for.

Unlike English compre where children need to rephrase the sentences, the children can copy the sentences (changing the pronoun to a third-person perspective). Some children can be 'kay kiang' and answer based on their own understanding, which will of course cost him or her marks.

Hi, has anyone bought the chinese oral pack by E-Com Education?
http://www.etutorbook.com/eoral/ Can share whether it is worth buying? or any other recommendations for chinese oral besides this one? TIA

Hi Admummy, I saw a Facebook sharing of 知识报/Etutor's 录像口试学习卡/eOral Exam Interactive Learning Card. I imagine this is e product u r talking about?
http://www.etutorbook.com/eoral/index.aspx
USB Flash Drive, in accordance with 2017 PSLE New E-Oral format

It looks good, so much better than e school's MC Online portal. I like e fact tt it's on flash drive. 知识报 publishes decent magazines, hence I'm confident in its contents/relevance. It seems like a great buy, especially for e 1st batch pioneering students. When I do more research in this subject matter, I shall share w e forum.

Hi mum02, lots of MCQs (past year papers). 词语手册 is not foolproof.

[mum02]

Thanks. I thought so too.
