Hi Reenie,

The story plots for the respective picture compositions are fine. For the 2nd one, it will be good if it is mentioned that the boys knew that the items were breakable (as there is a fragile label on the box - in the helping words, there's also the option 易碎品). In this way, the problem is \"enlarged\" - i.e. 明知故犯 (as opposed to just being playful/\"unintentional\").

Thank you so much for the reply and feedback! I really appreciate a lot 谢谢老师！在这里先祝你教师节快乐！

I see, that's encouraging. If there's room for improvement on the MCQ components, it's definitely worth drilling over the Sep sch holiday (since these questions constitute 64 out of the 90 marks). Compo wise, just by avoiding 错别字 and grammar mistakes + including slightly more description for actions and feelings should help gain another 2+ marks.

May I know if the picture composition has three characters, the main character is the eldest sister and the others are younger brother and sister, do we only name the eldest sister or need to name three of them? Thank you.

It is alright to name the sister and refer to the siblings as 弟弟 and 妹妹.

Hi Reenie,

”生活中的例子“/\"举例说明\" part of the question is usually worth 3 marks.

In the answer, there should be:
（1）起因 Cause/Situation
（2）经过 Process
（3）结果 Ending/Conclusion (+ takeaway from the experience, if necessary)

2+3 should \"link back\" and touch on the topic/value that is being discussed. In the example you shared, the topic is on taking the first step. Thus, reference answer will be:
（1）想学习溜滑轮，却又担心会跌倒、受伤
（2）下定决心、鼓起勇气踏出第一步
（3）经过不断的练习，最终学会溜滑轮

Remember to avoid using words like 事情，东西，困难，有时候 esp. if there's no further elaboration. E.g. if topic is regarding filial piety and student state \"我会帮父母做事情\", he/she won't earn the full marks because \"事情\" is not detailed enough. It's just like if people ask you for example of what you like to eat, you wouldn't answer \"food\" or \"thing\" .
