@my_melody92, for question 18, disguise is used as a noun (a disguise) instead of a verb (he disguised himself). As a noun, it means 'something that someone wears to hide their true appearance'.
For question 20, personally I would accept (4) as an acceptable answer.
Hope this helps!

Hi,

Does anyone know when attempting English Paper 1 (Situational Writing and Composition) during PSLE, do our kids have to leave a line empty (for spacing), in between their sentences? Is there a usual practice or is it up to the kids?

You mean the Answer to Q17 is (3) and to Q19 is (2)? :scared:
We don't say \"pertinent\" in diet.
And the \"citizens\" enjoyed chilli in their food is just weird.

I'd choose \"significant\" for Q17 and \"natives\" for Q19
My 2 cents.

My child is in p5 this yr. Would like to know, what more would sch P6 curriculum be teaching kids in compo writing? Would like to know if child will get to improve further next yr, if child is getting above 30 and comfortably writing 6 pages in exam time limit.

[6thisnthat9]

Is there alternative to fixed approach to English compo writing by tuition centre? Individual compo marking and feedback on how to enhance quality of writing? Any mummy can recommend?
