Hi there,

I put up some guidelines for Chinese compo a few weeks ago. Hope you will find them helpful.

好词好句, 开头，结尾，成语...these are the components to spice up the 作文...oh yes, add in a little conversation, so that it won't be so stale.

The only way to improve is by reading as many story books as possible. In order to write good composition by P3, kids must be reading Chinese novels like the 笑猫日记 series, and other books of similar length.

Target to let your child read one Chinese novel of at least 70000 words every week. This is definitely possible because many kids can read English books at a much faster rate than that.

It is only when a child has read enough, then he can write very well. If a child does not read well, sending to creative writing classes, or memorizing model Chinese compositions, are all going to be useless.

If your child does not like to read Chinese books, sit with him everyday, ask him to read every word out loud, and help him when he does not know any word. This is the best way to motivate him. If you can do this every day, you will see improvement within a year.

Thank you for all the tips.
