I always think that it is better to use Oral marks to cover CL compo. marks, how about your?

I share the same sentiments. I always encourage DD to try to excel in CL oral to compensate for her compo., which is her weaker area. Paper 1 on Friday.... DD won't write :offtopic:

Hi Tinkerbelle

Same here. It is not easy to write a good quality compo. and we are still trying and hopefully thing can get better by next year.

Wish your dd good luck in this coming compo. test.

Cheers

Hi Brenda,


Thank you for the reminder.

Will try to speak to dd more mandarin if possible.Bad habit of mine, tends to converse in eng more than mandarin tho mandarin in the forte.

He was rushing two compos in a day, hw from school teacher.On top of it, there are tons of hw, no choice, but helped him to draft the chinese compo, he was amused and told me, mummy, I din know you know how to write compo....I was like?????

This just show how often I have been conversing in mandarin as well....

Just wonder, how do u interchange the two languages...me auto to eng,any advice?thanks

Leanne

Hi Leanne

We started changing the conversation to Mandarin since mid of last year. It gets a period of time for both parties and gradually we get use to it.

Also introducing CL story books, CL songs and CL show etc that would help.

Cheers

Wow!! That's a lot of homework for 1 day. :shock: Teachers must be rushing to complete the curriculum.

:hi5: I also converse in Eng to DDs automatically. Now, very difficult to undo. Speak to DDs in Mandarin, they'll reply in Eng.... :slapshead: Guess must not give up, like Brenda.

Hi Leanne,
What a coincidence. DD also had Paper 1 today, but for both Eng and MT. So stressful! She chose situational writing for Eng and 'ming t'i for MT. She tends not to choose the picture compo. She said that she's not creative and tends to misinterpret the pictures.

[Leanne]

Hi belle.


DS also tends to prefer ming ti cos he always cannot comprehend pic well and also like to be creative.
