[lakaik]

My DS’s school still having on going prelim exam till Friday (HCL). Coming Monday & Tuesday will be paper marking day.

Sharing some Prelim CL compo questions for reference while preparing for PSLE CL compo:


HCL
- （情境）这件事让我明白做事不应该半途而废
- （情境）我泄露了邻居的秘密，害他被责骂
- （完成）我在房间里做功课，突然听到喊叫声
- （完成）考试时我正苦恼，突然有人想我抛来一张纸

CL
-（看图）姐姐带弟弟去小贩中心用餐，一位阿姨站了起来，姐姐和她相撞，姐姐的手被烫伤
-（看图）哥哥带弟弟去买食物，路上碰到他的朋友、和朋一起友踢足球，弟弟跟一只小猫玩，后来哥哥发现弟弟不见了

DS prelim CL picture compo qn:

- some boys kicking soccer on a field
- it started to rain, so they decided to continue kicking soccer at void deck nearby
- old man passing by at void deck was hit by the ball and fell down
- (continue the story)

This scenario is so familiar, we definitely have seen it before, but somehow I couldnt locate the qn in past PSLE papers, nor past prelim papers, nor P5 SA2 papers. Maybe it was in model essay book or tutor’s given hw.

can turn into a detective crime storyline. Eg football hit old man chest, old man died from heart attack on the spot (scene of crime)

Why have to assume the old man will die? For me , I will continue with the boys help the old man up and send him to a clinic to confirm whether he is suffering from any injury. Then the boys will accompany the old man home and apologize to him…The boys have learnt the lesson and will not kick soccer at void deck.

Yea I agree. Typically I thought Chinese comps must be wholesome and exhibit good or moral values kind and must learn from lesson. I think accidents till death is kind of like frown upon. English compo I think can have more free rein.

[zac's mum]

Update: sorry I misheard my DS. The boys were riding bicycles, not kicking soccer.


Yes, typical ending with the moral is preferred for Chinese compo.

[Zeal mummy]

Yes I would agree on that too, that Chinese compo usually ends with a moral value or a lesson well learnt. 经一事长一智 …. has been very useful for my kids.

Trying to get some views on a Eng compo my child has written. He added a one liner to explain one of the characters was an ex convict, so as to explain why he was being picked on all the time. Just a one liner and one time mention of ex convict. Teacher underlined the word and feedback not tp use it again and was naturally marked down. Is this MOE guideline or just the teacher? I thought this is creative writing and should not be restricted?
