Q&A - P5 English

I also bought too many assessment books for P5...entirely forgot about the 2x supplementary lessons this year. Just Synthesis alone, I have 2 assessment books.

What synthesis books did you buy? I went to Popular but cannot really find books that are good.

You are right...don't have good ones...just have to make do with something. I got Longman Practice for P5 as well as Teachers@work 'Conquer Synthesis & Transformation'. You can check out this other title by Casco. 'Classroom English Synthesis & Transformation' by Jalynn Yokairei

OK lets wait for more parents/students to attempt.
So here's your Q

The man was desperate. He used a fruit knife. He robbed the jeweller.
Can I join in here? I'm new.
The answer should be, The desperate man used a knife to rob the jeweller.

Hi Daniel,

I think I gave my son that answer too, but I’ve written down other variations which other parents have provided.

Thanks.

Hi Janet,

For both kids, I will just go ahead to buy 'Conquer' range. I bought Longman Maths and Science weekly for my son in P5 this year.

If possible, compare the content page.
I copied out those connectors used in worksheets from school and compared the assessment books which have most of the connectors. It's not possible to find ALL in one book, you are lucky if there are 2 books which would have most of them.

I didn't get Editing & Punctuation anymore...not bcos son is good in it but there are far too many sections which require intensive attention.
