If my child said collecting cans is a way of keeping the environment clean( beside doing good deed), will marks be deducted ?

Hi Parents,

Did any of your children feedback that the font size of the Chinese passage today was rather small, had to go very close to the screen to read?

Dear Parents,

Did any of your child complain about technical errors?
My son mentioned, the examiners couldn’t find his details in the system they were using and took 10 mins after calling several people to fix that. Should I raise this to the principal or is it normal?

Hi parents, today was my daughter's English oral examination, I just want to know if she missed out somethings your children talked about, this is what she talked about.


- She talked about the purpose behind this poster
- She talked about how newly built flats is most likely to be purchased by young adults, so the timing of the event
would suit the young adults work timing very well and also encourage them to attend it.
- She talked about how the food on the poster attracts people to attend this event.
- She talked about the weekend advantage will encourage students/children to attend too.
- She talked about the importance of bonding with neighbors
- She talked about how people these days are on their gadgets/phones, so this is also a good initiative to get them off
their gadgets and start mingling with people.
- She also talked about how our household and neighbor's household exchange delicacies during our respective festivals that we celebrate.
- She talked about what constitutes a good neighbor
- She talked about the government's initiative to give out red ribbons during National Day to show appreciation for
being a good neighbor.
- She talked about her own experience of being in a gathering.
- She also talked about her opinion on good neighbors and bad ones.
- She also talked about how Covid-19 has affected our lives, which also includes refraining from bonding with neighbors.
- She also talked about why she likes her environment in her neighborhood.
- Lastly, she talked about how living harmoniously is something that needs to be further emphasized, because of how
neighborliness is something that plays a huge part of everybody's daily lives.


The examiner asked her 1 prompt which was about how living harmoniously should be further emphasized, please do add if my daughter did not talk about things that your child did. Thanks in advance!😘

If she really said all that then I think you can safely say she aced it.

What said is said for today’s oral. This post serves nothing but for some KS parents to bash their own kids for not giving a better answer. I am sure the author knew her dd had aced her oral, given that she has another son in RI who scored 279 last year.

By no means, I am trying to make parents bash their own kids...and firstly, did I ask parents for opinions if my daughter did well? No. I asked parents if there was anything that my daughter missed out. Just so you know both my kids are different...does not mean one can score 279 and then another will also automatically score 279. I am a strong believer in grades don't matter. I don't scold my kids for getting bad grades ever and believe other parents should not scold either. I am also one of the parents to want to know approximately how much my child score...as a parent, I have that anxiety to know how my child did. Hearing how the Chinese oral prompts is almost way different from the theme in the video, I was just scared that my daughter did not explore other things that the theme 'neighbors'. I honestly really don't care if you think my post serves nothing, because it serves an answer to my question. Don't say anything if you don't have anything nice to say.

P.S. read my post carefully again...I asked if there was any points my child missed out, not if my daughter aced her oral. And also the parents over here, have their kids as their top priority and they will not bash their kids for not giving a better answer.

Hi Cool nurse, I just want to say I have been reading your posts silently...and your advice has in fact greatly helped me...In my opinion, I also understand that anxiety after the child's oral...Just don't care about that 'person'. I bet he/she is just jealous of your children's achievements and your GREAT parenting style that you have used to raise such children. That 'person' probably just skimmed through your post without reading what you actually said. To even think that a parent in this forum will bash their kids because of their exam performance is messed up...maybe that 'person' does that to his/her kids...so that is why the unnecessary comments and ranting. I am not trying to spread hate...just felt that such comments should not be directed to a person like Cool nurse, especially when she is so warm hearted and is generous with her advice. To be honest, I would want to be a parent like you...haha...

I think we sometimes need to be a bit more sensitive to those with children who didn’t perform as well.


There will be some parents out there whose child barely managed to think of anything to say so reading a long list of what someone else said from a parent worrying about what she may have missed, could be quite upsetting.
