      Now I am skeptical if dd can do well in English man...
      DD in P6 ( SA1 and Prelim) usually wrote around 5.5 pages, for English composition. Today, she said wrote only 4 pages, because not enough \"meat\" to lengthen the story development plot.

      She said she is better in writing \"problem solving\" type of composition, but not used to writing this type of \"Celebration\" topic. Frankly, last night, was reading several model compo on topic like \"Resilence\", \"Gratitude\", \"Consideration\", \"Bravery\", \"Kindness\", \"Responsibility, \"Misunderstanding\", \"Mischief\", \"A Desperate Act\", \"Regret\", \"Bully\", \"A Challenge\", \"Overcoming Fear\", etc.

      She said was thrown off course, when given the exam topic, because maximum can only spend 5 minutes because after that got to write quickly, must plan what content about \"Celebration\" to write about, and how to develop ideas, lengthen the storyline quickly

        Synthesis & Transformation: “humility” or “humbleness”? Google says both seem ok?
        Need to know context....but humility sounds more likely

              Same !...too simple plot..hard to develop interesting story[/quote]On the surface, this \"Celebration\" light-hearted topic, true, like very easy to wrote about. But got to think, who are the special guests, in this celebration ?

              Anyway, some of her classmates wrote Teacher's day celebration, where some Teachers went up the stage to sing and dance.

                My DD wrote about a special Children's Day celebration that started out being typical. With people dancing and celebrating on stage (using one of the pix) and then the teacher announced that they invited a very special guest -- someone who was handicapped -- to share her experiences with them. So I suppose she took the focus of an atypical Children's Day celebration where she learnt about being grateful for the things she had and how it had been different from what she experienced in the past.


                Something like that... I hope she didn't veer off tangent!
                Cos she wrote EIGHT pages. :scared: :yikes: :shock:

                  My dd wrote farnie one but it really depends on how it turns out… it was their graduation but girl had an accident still in hospital on that day but to her surprise… classmates came over and push her to their graduation ceremony and watch the graduation performance… so she was touched and .she had a wonderful celebration thanks to her friends.

                        DD said someone in her school used one entire booklet, to write the compo. One booklet is around 13 pages


                        Then another P6 student inside the school hall requested for a second booklet, to write some more
