      I think pandapanda is very kind to share with us about her DD's teacher suggested answer scheme for the CL LC. There are prob privacy concerns so let's not put her in a spot πŸ™‚

      Nevertheless, it must be a top school for everyone in the class to have received DSA as we know it's getting more difficult these days to get DSA esp DSA from the top 4 schools.
      Agree agree , lets stop the guessing game and back to focus on psle! :rahrah:

        Inference :

        For the whole class to receive DSA offer, normally this type of class is either a GEP class, or one of those Top Mainstream classes

          I thought SAP schools taking Higher Chinese? PSLE CL papers were taken in P5, no?[/quote]
          For SAP schools, at P6 level, Not compulsory that all P6 students must take Higher Chinese

          example

          In a SAP school that i came across, out of Total nine 2019 P6 classes, only 3 classes (out of 9) are taking HCL.
          The balance of 6 classes, are taking Standard Chinese, not HCL.


          In primary schools, PSLE Standard Chinese is taken only at P6, not at P5.

          However, when come to Secondary schools, students can take O-level Standard Chinese, at Sec 3.
          Only if they achieved certain minimum grade, then allowed to proceed forward to take O-level Higher Chinese, at Sec 4

            The answer should be strong wind because for human movement, the narrator said they moved carefully.

            But so many of her classmates said is human movement, because there was a wooden block, to block the wind

            Have faith in your DD, maybe your DD is the one who got it correct in her class! πŸ™‚

            My DS told me the hoping...Came towards the end of passage . So the danger with LC is kids assume the first answer n did not listen on to the rest...

            The threat and human movement was mentioned earlier but in the passage, the narrator mentioned the human movement was controlled by the neighbours moving very carefully so as not to alarm the birds...

            Whereas though a board was put up to block wind, it was mentioned the man Hoping it will be enough....

            Hoping means the man is not sure and not confident that the nest can withstand the strong winds

            That's what his teacher cannot jump to conclusions , must listen to the end of passage.

              Oh thanks for clarifying. My memory is bad then, I remember taking my CL paper one year earlier. Must be the O level paper.

              So for Psle the kids taking HCL need to do 5 subjects total in P6 year. All the best to the kids!

                  Come to think of it, since we are on Comprehension topic, is there a difference between Listening Comprehension vs. Written Comprehension component, this coming Tuesday (26 Sep) ?


                  I mean, of course, LC test u on the listening skill, whether u are paying attention, or not ?

                  But, whether is listening or reading a passage silently to yourself, ultimately it is still "Comprehension" after all, isn’t it ?

                        They test (and reward) different skills. Some people naturally learn better through auditory methods. These people prefer listening to audio books & absorb well.

                        The textual readers learn and understand better through reading books & long texts.

                        Eg maybe dyslexics may find LC easier to understand than having to decipher long texts for written compre.
