Q&A - PSLE Chinese

MiataMX5:

Any advice how your DC will choose to attempt 命題 or 看图 for Paper 1?

Shouldn't write 命题. This is almost not an option. Unless the exact topic has been trained, which is seldom the case.

Rae4kids:

Mcq was tricky. There was a question on 勉励 according to my dd. Anyone knows the answer? She chose (1) but she doesnt know the meaning.

My dc put 4. 勉励is 鼓励？

'勉励‘ 是精神上的鼓励：加油、别放弃
’鼓励‘用在任何值得支持的行为：吃菜、运动、讲华语

[mylulaoshi]

All4kids:

Is it 提高发展or扩大发展?

’发展’ 无法 ‘提高’/‘高上’。只可以‘迅速’/‘增进’。一两个选择来说，应该是‘扩大发展’

[mylulaoshi]

ThomasEnglish:

:imcool: 增进友谊：develop friendship, also means to promote


Note that this is a verb

Whereas
稳固友谊. Would mean strong friendship

It is an adjective here.

You would need to add a verb 建立

To render it as 建立稳固的友谊

So yea. They are trying to test if the kid knows the different word form.

What exactly is the context here? Lol

‘友谊’ 不可以‘固’ 只可以‘稳定’。具体physical 的物体才可以‘牢固’/‘稳固’

Lulaoshi,那。。。。

[Mum Needs Advice]

Seeking help from 2017 Primary 6 parents. My boy is a slow learner and all the tuition teachers have given up on him. Now, My boy has no chinese tuition, I have been coaching him myself so far. He did not do well in normal chinese in primary 6. Could I request for any kind parent to post the 2017 primary 6 Normal chinese spelling list for Textbook 6A and 6B. I am trying to at least teach him the textbook spelling and read textbook with him before school starts next year.


I would appreciate spelling list from any school. thank you very much.

@Mum Needs Advice,

I am not a 2017 P6 parent, not sure if u have gotten what u asked for.
Just want to say that perhaps u can consider to use the 课文字词手册.
It contains the vocabulary list of phrases/words that the students are expected to know from the textbooks.
Not sure what has changed for the PSLE syllabus (dd sat for PSLE 3 years ago), from what I can remember, they were tested on 汉语拼音， 辨字，句子选择 etc but not the editing (writing out the correct Chinese characters) for 普华。
I personally used the 课文字词手册 instead of the textbook back then as I find that it covers those components. JMHO.

Other than what Lego has suggested, using the Handbook of Chinese Vocabulary, also known as the 《课文字词手册》, if you have the P6 Textbook, you can use the book to teach your child the spelling as well.
Firstly, in the last few pages of the book is a vocabulary list, whereby the terms of each chapter is translated. The child needs to understand the terms.
Secondly, at the end of each chapter's passage is two rows of Chinese words. The \"我会认\" means the child has to recognise it and understand the meaning. The \"我会写\" means he has to write it and apply it in various contexts. Do focus more on the \"我会写\" if you are teaching him spelling.
As for the spelling list, basically the words tested are from the textbook, Some schools have different types of spelling list to meet the needs of the pupils, so might not necessarily be helpful.
By the way, your child can also use the http://xuele.moe.edu.sg/xuele/slot/u107/index1.html website to practise his reading.
