What's the 3 word phase answer for the comprehension passage?

Time flew past

My son says the question was pick 3 word line x to line 39 that means regret? And he answered twinge of regret.

For the compo, how about a story like this…the protagonist picks up and keeps something that doesn’t belong to him, and the moral of the story is that although he has benefitted from the material gains, what he lost is his integrity.

Hi, yes it is accepted. My DS happened to write the exact same plot, but the only difference is his story ended with protagonist finding back his integrity as he decided to do the right thing to return it.

[ndnck]

Hi my DS wrote about losing the trust of his son for failing to turn up for his performance which he had promised to. Is this acceptable? So the topic is about losing something and not missing something?

Thanks, sky
the picture you provided, speaks a thousand words

[blur_mum]

This composition topic looks simple "something that was lost" but i personally feel that it is challenging as the theme was not given directly unlike past PSLE qns "teamwork", you know exactly what to write about. This type of composition is indirect. The child must be able to look at the topic "something that was lost" - link to picture - link to a theme. It is very broad and leave to child’s imagination on the theme that they want to write.

The theme can also be anything as long as the story make sense and use the picture.
1) Being honesty/ integrity
2) Being thankful/gratitude to the person finding the lost item
3) Being responsible/accountability/carelessness
Etc…
The child may not be able to score if they didn’t see that they need to link that the topic to a theme as it is indirect…
