If i remember correctly, during my days in 70s, we received 知识报...we need Funx3 to verify this....hahaha....

hahaha .. I can verify you are correct.

Sorry can't remember any of these. Looks like I'm out of my league here in terms of age group. MUAHAHA.

The teachers will usually ask them to tackle the questions meant for HCL only. The P1 questions are still quite easy. They will have more open-ended Comprehension passages in which the kids will have to write more in the P2 mags. These will determine their standard better. Anyway, try not to rely on a magazine to gauge your ds's CL standard. The mag is a good exposure and good thing is, he is interested. The more exposed he is to CL literature (in whatever form), the better chance of his interest be sustained, then naturally, you don't have to worry too much about him handling HCL.

Yes OE comprehension is an area ds has a problem with sometimes. I 100% understand what you mean. I'm just so glad that ds actually draws to chinese language. For me, I look at all those words in the mag and my head starts spinnning though I try my best not to show it.

One mummy told me 20 pages leh !!!
I was even more shocked. WHEN teachers go FULL SWING, that means dinner is just 15 min and all members of the family must help. :?:

This is just my thoughts and I don't expect everyone to agree with me on this one. I feel that panicking uses up a lot of energy, energy better reserved for future use. Since PH decides to 'give chance' and dispense only 12 pages of maths (which is a lot by my standard by the way), then why don't we take advantage of that to relax and enjoy CNY?

That's what I told my son...ENJOY this CNY. Son replied me, 'Enjoy my birthday first, followed by CNY next week. I will still do my homework on my birthday but nothing else.' I asked him whether he wanted to 'apply leave from school' on his birthday.

I am also trying hard to remind myself to ENJOY this CNY break...holidays are never enough even for SAHMs.

for p1 exam, there is no OE comprehension in CL paper....only multiple choice....but good to try out...

Since when did you two become tag team huh? 一唱一和 :lol:

Though my CL is junk, I devised a way to pass exam every time. For MCQ, I'll choose the ans with similar characters as the qn. For compo, I'll memorize 成语the day before and just blurt everything out in the essay.

That's how I passed my exams despite never reading a single storybook outside of text in my life.
