      Grandma could not *figure* *out* how to open the palm-sized, black device.

      Mine put 4. Recognise.
      What is the correct answer?

      Unravel[/quote]Oh ok. Thank you.

        Unravel[/quote]Yes, I will choose 'unravel' if the option was given as unravel & not unravell-ed. The rest of the words have a similar meaning but not suitable to replace the word \"figure out\" in this context.

          Is it “move up” to secondary one or “move on” to secondary one?

          Mine wrote move up

          Think the answer is \"move on\" to...

            class, had confirmed that the printing inside the Psle booklet this morning was \"unravel\" , not \"unravelled\". Present tense, not past tense.
            So, your friend who gave u the terminology in past tense was wrong, right from the very beginning


            Reveal : is to show
            Interpret : is to decipher
            Recognise : is familiarity

            none of the above 3, fit the grandma case, except \"unravel\"

            Unravel: is to solve, work out

            Answer : unravel

              Think the answer is \"move on\" to...[/quote]Yes, answer should be \"move on\" to something new, to a new chapter (journey) in their life, ie. Sec 1, because their primary school journey had already ended.

              You do not \"move up\" to a next, new journey in your life. But, you \"move on\" forward to the next stage of your life's journey

              Just like us, right now. English over today, dusted, can throw away our mountain high piled up stack of English school worksheets ! So, what should we do ?

              Let's \"move on\" to tackle Maths next, and not \"move up\" to tackle Maths.

              In fact, this English qn set was very tricky. SEAB think because we students all from P6 move up to Sec 1 next year, one level up, so they used the word \"up\", try to trick us, make us fall for it

                    These are the pictures

                    A CELEBRATION
                    1) people dancing on stage
                    2) 2 person holding a baby
                    3) invitation

                    My gal wrote abt 2. Arrival of her new sibling. Is it allright ah??

                    Anyone know which is correct, to hold or to carry a baby? Will it lead to loss of marks for using the wrong vocabulary?

                      The watery mess is ambiguous n vague. But my DS put 231 too. But the paint smudged w water is also a mess...

                      What about the Dragon Kiln flyer-visual text? My DS said was tricky too and what's the main aim of flyer?

                      - to provide info about the fire event
                      - to preserve the heritage of the dragon Kiln..

                      This q also many differing views.

                      Shld be to provide info about the event as at the last part it was stated

                      Thank you!

                        If your children read this news article, he/she will know the answer.

                        A student taking G2 English at Sec 1, for instance, will be able to move up to G3 as he or she gets better in the subject - a point stressed by MOE when it highlighted that how a student fares at the PSLE will not constrain the choice of subjects and their levels of difficulty.

                        This PSLE English exam seemed to be testing Sec 1 English phrasal verbs! Go Popular check out Sec 1 English assessment books and you know what I mean. Children need to have a very strong command of English to ace 2019 English. Good luck.
