命题作文 easier to write out of point, unless learnt the skill to turn around as a plot for something else etc


看图作文 always recommended by CL teachers, less risky of getting out of point

a good CL / HCL teachers (including tuition teachers) would be able to stress the skills how not to get out of point

My Gal Say the Topic for the HCL 命题作文 in the SA2 is more \"CHALLENGING\",
The Other Compo Topic something on Holiday, Very Boring, Not much Points to Write so Difficult to Score ....
But Somehow One Boy in Her Class Still Write out-of topic ....

For the 20 over Majority in her Class who wrote on the 命题作文, Everyone was out-of-Topic ???? Except One Gal .... :????

So Guess the Topic was \"Rather Narrow\", and Manage to \"TRICK\" Almost Everyone to Write Out-of-Topic ....


:lol: :lol:

MOE is fully aware of this issue as such in New Chinese CME Pupils' Book P6, there is a topic of 应变能力 teaching the child how to handle stress and challenging from PSLE. Some helping number were also provided.

Do you think they will have time to do those subjects?? I was laughing at myself when buying schoolbooks and also getting the soc studies, art, music, cme books in the booklist. I think it's such a great joke, bc in my elder boy's time last year, none of these were touched. They did not have any lessons on these subjects the whole year but at the end of the year, their report book showed A for every single one of these subjects. Really \"for show\". But I still bought \"just in case\". After this next year, I will do major throwing away of ALL the primary school books already, since it will be the last PSLE for our family until 10 years later.

Leanne:

Thanks for the info.


Actually for chinese standard, what is consider good, in the 90s range?


Cheers

Hi Leanne

I would say is up to individual's expectation.

To me, for Language, marks above 85 are consider good. If above 90 will be wonderful.

[Leanne]

I agreed.


Actually through the years, ds chinese has hovered around 85 to 88, just wonder, is it lack of reading?

A friend girl picked up reading and see that she starts to hit 90s.So, that makes me 'wake up\"


Cheers

You got the point. So far I saw New Chinese CME Pupils' Book P5 only first few pages written. Social Study Activity book 5B still at home.

For dd, in P4 SA1, her CL was only score Band 2. Therefore now we are very happy when she is 3 marks to the top of the level in CL P2.

[Leanne]

Perhaps dd felt 遗憾 of not able to take HCL. As such she wish that she will be given a chance to take HCL in her Secondary School.

Hi Brenda,


DS also starts reading xiao mao ri ji, but not really indept as needs me to read to him.So, I read one chapter to him and he read one chapter to me.No choice cos he is totally anti chinese.Did you make your dd copy down all the chinese vocab being read?

What is Xiao Mao Ri Ji? Did I miss a discussion somewhere?

Brenda10:

So far the weaker area dd done was CL compo. However I'm still happy that she was ranked no. 18 in the School Level of CL may be due to she did quite well in CL P2. Plan to let her read most CL story books (xiao mao ri ji etc) as I find this is the better way to improve in the CL Language. One book contains about 17,000 CL words.

So far, my son's CL compo tends to be not too bad. Marks usually 30+. But then he would not do well in the other sections and end up the overall mark not so great. :x

sigh - i asked him if he needs chinese tuition, but this one he keeps hemming-hawing about.
