If she intends to count the HCL score as her L1, then imo should start asap and aim for A1. Otherwise must rely on EL to be the L1.
Sorry to interrupt. May I check if Sec1 HCL student should start tuition now? As in all the O lvl HCL knowledge/skills need to be built up from Sec1 onwards? I have never interfered with elder dd's HCL..asking for her advice may not be that 'suitable' I feel. So would like to get some opinions here. -

From dd's experience, quite 'difficult' to have opportunity to count hcl coz usually if hcl is ok then likely cl is good enough to count in+Eng... eh..meaning so long as HCL & Eng min C6 then job done already lor, can get the 2 extra points for HCL right?

The reason I m asking was because dd2 told me yesterday that her brain got fried thinking how to link the events to write the compo. I told her maybe holiday too long already engine needs warming up..and we mentioned tuition. -

Sec 1 narrative zuowen needs to plan story curve just like how she did for PSLE English. Let her read some model zuowen for refresher on how to do it… -

I don't (dare) to aim for A1. And yea you are right if need aim good results for CL (which actually covered in the same HCL tuition), need early tuition too. Thanks, noted on the story curve. Will tell dd.

It would be good to remind the children not to take Sec 1 as \"honeymoon period\" for Chinese language - quite often, there's a drop in effort
(mind-set - not \"compulsory\" result in O Level as in can rely on other subjects' results, time management challenge due to increased subjects, peer influence - other's attitude towards the subject etc.).
If they do not have a clear understanding of the technical terms learnt in Sec 1 (mainly those under 人物描写手法 and 修辞手法), most will find Sec 2 much more challenging as they will come into contact with more technical terms relating to expository and discursive text (a little similar to the \"gulf\" between Pri 4 and 5 which some children encounter). Similarly, if their exposure to Chinese language is limited to sch hours & syllabus materials, it's going to be an uphill task trying to seek improvement in grades (they should at least put in effort in the verbal aspect).
By ~ term 2 of Sec 3, all components that will be tested in O Level will be taught and the remaining time between then and O Level would be mainly focused on expansion of range of vocab and consolidation of language expression.
Pretty much a case of 先苦后甜. -
Thanks chenlaoshi

Yes. I'm the living example of someone who took Sec 1 Chinese, and subsequently up to Sec 4, as a honeymoon period.

... I was from St Andrew's, and somehow took upon the cohort's view that learning Chinese is \"not cool\". So I just concentrated on my other subjects and ignored Chinese. I am close to 60 now, and that is one of my greatest regret.

Hi Chen Lao Shi,
May I know how to answer 对比论证 for comprehension? Is there a format to answer with keywords? Thank you! -

Here's the answering technique/\"template\":![](\"https://i.imgur.com/5YxfWX0.jpeg\")

1 = state the 1st example from the passage
2 = state the 2nd example from the passage
(these 2 examples are contrasting in nature)
3 = state the 论点 (argument) -
