Secondary School Chinese

@slmkhoo Maybe the correct way is to use AI to generate some suggested passages, and then write something totally different. It’s easier said than done.

@bbbay said in Secondary School Chinese:

@mamajs

Not sure about other SAP colleges, For HCI college, to get exemption from H1 Chinese , O level students need at least a C6, IP students need at least B4 (or B3?), in O level HCL grade.

My children were from non IP SAP secondary schools. All of them require to attempt HCL from secondary 1. I know another non IP SAP secondary school does not require all students to attempt HCL. so best is to email the school to check

yes this is true
min B4 for HCI kids advancing to HCJC

to ride on this, any recommendations for hcl tuition for hci kids? my kid in sec3 now, not failing but not ace-ing his higher chinese exams in hci

On AI taking over everything:

the cheaper, more accurate and features rich digital watches have not replaced analog watches completely. the hand made Swiss analog watches still command a very high premium. The cheaper more durable plastic crockeries have not make porcelain china obsolete. People are willing to pay much more for porcelain china even when they are very fragile compared plastics. If AI is the digital watches/plastics, analog watches/porcelain china are the human spirits - has a valuable place in the world.

This is for entertainment:

In the movie Creator, world war breaks out between 2 camps: AI and its human supporters camp , and human camp. The human camp blame AI for a nuclear disaster when it was the human that made a mistake is programming AI that cause the nuclear disaster. In the movie, the AI machine is the benevolent good guys , the human camp is the cruel bad guys.

@ChiefKiasu Yes, it needs a basic ability that has to be honed first. That’s why I personally wouldn’t want AI to be introduced in Pr school. I don’t even like calculators in Pr school! Some basic skills and understanding have to be worked on an internalised first, then the person can control the machines and assess the output later on. I’ve had too many people tell me “it came from the computer, so it must be right!” when it’s obviously wrong.

Dear all,

Any recommendations for HCL 1 to 1 online tutor for Sec 2? My DD is weak in the subject. Thank you.

Here’s a list of O Level CL and HCL oral topics from 2022-2024.

Hope it helps with your child’s preparation for oral exam this July!
