      According to my son 造句 must make a longer sentence in between use one comma.

      Your boy is good to remember this. Mine? \"Got meh?\", \"teacher did not say what!\"

        According to my son 造句 must make a longer sentence in between use one comma. Last year, we didn't follow this and only got half marks for each 造句. This year 吸取教训, die die must follow, he got full marks for his 造句. :lol:

        :celebrate: yes, 吸取教训.

        It's ok, lizhi. 80+ and 90+ is just that one mark diff when it's converted to 10%. I felt PH will continue to raise the standard for CL and we just have to be constantly on our toes. I am glad the \"含糊不清\" questions came out at P3, the earlier the kids are exposed, the better. One of my ex-colleages who is a CL tutor now told me not to just let my dd do many OE comprehension, instead ask as many of our own questions based on the passages as possible, on top of those given. Keep probing to make them think. Due to time constraints, I only asked her to verbally give those simple answers for some questions but write down those that requires deeper thinking. Now, I know I shouldn't rush thru, I should discuss the passages and \"talk\" about it, \"ask\" as many questions as possible on the context of the passage.

        One good point he mentioned, read widely. Dd has no problems with EL OE compre, possibly cos she read widely and has a maturity for questions that require in-depth understanding. I guess her marks lost at CL OE compre was not exactly due to her immaturity, she is just not exposed to expressing herself well enough for those \"reading between the lines\" kind of answers in chinese.

          Lizhi,
          关于造句, 老师从小一开始就已经强调尽量不要写太短的句子, 因为不能真正把词语的原意表达出来, 所以我吩咐女儿要发挥,句子当中一定要有至少一个逗号。 在考试前一天, 她练习造句, 并把二十个列句给背了起来, 而且所出的五题都全中了!

          Didn't know that!! Thanks for the 指点。

          Different class, different CL teacher, I guess. My dd's P1 teacher highlighted some short sentences and discouraged them from writing that way although at P1, those sentences were still marked correct. She will give good sentences but due to the P1 kids' limited vocabulary, she can't give them P3-alike sentences.

            My dd's teacher didn't specifically instructed them to have \"commas\" in their sentences, it was my own assumption. Furthermore, 造句 shouldn't be too rigid. The whole idea is to express coherently and meaningfully. Dd quoted one of her classmates wrote for 优点: 我家的小狗有很多优点, 大家都觉得它很懂事. and was marked wrong.

            In my opinion, the child could have read a storybook on a character 懂事的小狗 or she could have listened to the example of 大象有很多本领, ...so got 优点confused with 本领. Thus we it comes to 造句, I told my dd never, never personify an animal, unless you are specifically talking about a feature of that animal. It's better to use daily events or something you can relate to.

                Actually, I don’t like her to memorize, it was my last resort cos her spoken mandarin 有限. Ideally is to express freely whenever you are told to 造句. I hope we can overcome this problem so in future every sentence can come out smoothly for her.


                I wonder how the boy who always topped CL did this time. His grandparents are CL teachers.

                  It is necessary to memorize good sentences, some paragraphs. only the problem is the limited time. Heard from my dd yesterday, R8's top EL girl, her CL is also quite good. a bilingual talent!

                    Wow..way to go, Respy 8! Just heard highest for CL is 94 for Respy 9. The last year's top CL boy scored the same mark as my dd and it's not 94, though pretty close.

                    What's happening to Respy 9?? Must buck up...

                    Btw, call your dd, she has good news for you for her Science Section B.

                      Hi P4 parents

                      From all inputs, it seems this is the brief summary at whole level, kindly make any changes if necessary. This is to get an early gauge before Fri's meeting 😉

                      P4 Highest in cohort
                      EL - 93
                      CL - 99
                      Maths - 97
                      Science - 92.5

                      My girl's class highest for CL is 99.5, by one of her kakis. She was :dancing: machiam it was her score. :lol:

                      Actually, I am more anxious to know the class median if not, average, rather than the highest. Some of these kids at the top...I 望尘莫及. :lol: 😉

                      The highest in P4 CL is now adjusted to 100.

                        Oh this is my wish too. I told mine, now no choice, she has to memorise. The ideal is for her to master the language and use it freely and flexibly. That is the ultimate! Now still cannot..got to 死背书, for CL! 😐 But of course...死背书 also must 死背with understanding of the meaning.
