Mummy58:

Agree cos my dd got this question wrong! She thinks too much. What an irony, thinks too much also wrong, doesn't think also wrong. She felt the little kids all ran to help out so should be 合作，instead of 关怀. You can't 搭配 合作 with 互相. It's usually 分工合作。Like you've mentioned, the scenario doesn't seem appropriate in showing 关怀.

same, my dd also filled in \"合作\", 而“互相合作”是常用词语。不过用于此短文也很牵强， 但至少好过填“关怀”。[/quote]

My dd also got this wrong! Her answer : 关怀.[/quote]

Sorry, I meant her answer is also 合作

[quote=\"lizhi\"]看了华文试卷短文填空中的最后一段， “他们年纪虽小却能互相（关怀）”...

我很惊讶这里竟然填‘关怀’，其实非常不恰当。
“关怀”一般用于上级对下级、长辈对晚辈。如果用于同级或同辈，说别人对自己关怀，则含有对别人尊重之意。“关怀”侧重于“心怀”，指在以思想意识的高度对人或事物的关爱、爱护，给人以爱抚、宠爱的感觉。
此词若用在几个来回奔跑的小男孩身上， 实在是别扭极了

I thought for this type of qn that shows diagrams, our ans must be based on the diagram.

I suppose for the answers to be based strictly on the diagram shown, the question will have something like, \"Based on your observations\" or \"From what you can see/observe from the diagram\". Otw, it will be from the knowledge bank.

Jennifer:

I clearly remembered last year paper on comparing two animals (a mammal vs a bird), the qn clearly states no colour/size comparison. Must be what can be seen from the diagrams.

I found this question (31) in P3(2010) SA2 paper booklet B. It is the comparison between an ant and an eagle. Part a asked to state similarities...it started with \"Based on your observation....\", hence, the answer has to be what can be seen in the diagrams. HTH!

Hehehe... Sorry I am also not able to confirm the highest, as DD is not sure if highest is 49 or 49.5 out of 50 marks

DD told me the highest mark is 49.5 out of 50.[/quote]


Mummy58, your DD said highest for Science was 49.5? Yeah, Responsibility 8 go go go!!! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

[quote=\"php\"]
there is a big diff between the term \"no air\" and \"lesser air\". am i right?

Yes, I agreed his ans to part B is less than desired. BUT due to this, his correct ans in part A is also not recognised as correct. His understanding is there, but manner of explaining is lacking.

I find the marking scheme getting more stringent.

Whenever we encounter such questions in Science, 'less' and 'no' make a great difference. I told mine that when come to answering Science questions, accuracy and precision matters. She did not use 'air', instead use 'oxygen'. Hence she wrote for 2nd part:

The layer of oil acts as a barrier, preventing oxygen from entering the water, therefore, the guppy in setup B will die when the oxygen is depleted in the water.[/quote]I am not disputing my boy's part B ans is incorrect (based on PSLE stringent marking scheme which I am all for) BUT why part A correct ans not awarded mark

I wld think the phrase \"Study the diagrams below\" is equivalent to \"From what you can see from the diagrams\".

Anyway, I am bringing up this issue to the Sci teacher. Merely becos I need to know how exactly to answer such qn. I can accept your dd's ans (one egg vs many eggs at a time).

According to collins, tight-lipped is to describe someone as unwilling to give any information about something. I think the answer is (1).

aiyo, ask you don't refer to dictionary ma...

You know, for EL/CL OE questions, if there are 2 parts of questions (like \"Which one.......? Explain.\") If the 1st part is answered correctly, and 2nd part is wrong, there is no mark awarded too. We learnt it the hard way last year. :roll:

Jennifer:

BUT why part A correct ans not awarded mark

Any kid could have gotten part (a) correct by guessing the answer so mark for part (a) is dependent on your answer for part (b). If the child can answer part (b) scientifically correct, then full marks will be awarded. This shows that the child didn't simply \"guess\" the answer. It has been marked like this at PSLE for years for Science.

I believe your ds knew the correct answer for (a) and he did not guess. So, have to ensure that he can explain for part (b) too.
