Hi sunshine79,

First,

find out from your daughter's own Secondary school :-

what is the criteria,
for her to continue with Sec 2 Higher Chinese,
based on her Sec 1 Year end October exam, this year (2021) ?


Example


In some schools,

the promotional Sec 1 HCL exam score, in order to continue proceed with Sec 2 HCL,
is


50 / 100 marks.

Hence,
If a student failed to score 50 marks overall (upon 100) ,

then this HCL student will be asked to drop back to Standard Chinese (bu-hua), in such schools.


Different Secondary schools have different promotional Higher Chinese criteria, at the end of their Sec 1 Year end exam (Sep-Oct). The rules are set by their own Chinese department.


Perhaps your daughter can
approach her own school's Chinese HOD, to clarify about this promotional HCL (Sec 1 going up to Sec 2) criteria matter ?

Thanks phtthp for the kind advise.
I will check with the school

It's suitable for both CL and HCL.

There are 2 versions for each video (CL with short narration, HCL with full narration for 口头报告 practice).

However, it's only accessible for ~3-5 years. I think price wise, still ok, around the norm. The other oral assessment books in the market have ~15 topics but the topic covered in SPH's publication is more up to date (biennial release per version). Common practice seems to be sell it on Carousell after finished practicing (esp. since older versions will not be reprinted).

Can try 华艺学园 at West Coast just round the corner to West Coast CC facing Kent Ridge Sec Sch. Look for 刘老师’s class. She’s very good

My DS was at Jocelyn Chinese Tuition at Clementi Ave 4. Ex MOE teacher, very patient and good at teaching. They got good curriculum too. My DS transferred to their Bt Timah branch due to timing.
