After reading it, I still standby (1). I think it is more appropriate because there is someone wanting to know(ply) more information. Secretive workable, but 'tight-lipped' has more 'feel' in it. :lol:

Agree! Actually I thought the answer was pretty obvious... and DD chose (1 tight-lipped) as the answer. Didn't realise the complexities until I see it being brought up here. Hehehe!

The reason why I brought it up was not cos my dd got it incorrect, it's because I felt that the English language is so subjective and also it really depends on one's opinion of the correct answer. Last year, there was one question from the P2 SA2 EL OE comprehension, my dd changed her answer after some thought and got that correct. Only a few students got the answer right so you see, most kids might think simply and write down what they think at first glance. For those who think deeper and analysed the question, they can change their \"fate\"...not so serious lah....:lol: :lol:

Anyway, for this question, my dd also thought of the first answer at first, cos it's straightforward like you said, but she read too much into it and chose (2). Well...at least she was thinking and I know as long as she keeps thinking, she'll ultimately learn the right skill, and not go wrong.

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

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.

Do they Have Choices of Words Given for this Q?
MayBe Out of the Whole List of Words Given, this Could Be the Best Choice? (But Not Necessarily the Most Appropriate?)
:lol: :lol:

Oops! No la, the topics just happen to interest me, so I participated a little here and there lor...

You sure it's ONLY a little here and there? Whoa that must be the understatement of the year ..... :laugh:

Haven't you heard of the proverb \"Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land\"?

So that's how my \"a little here and there\" contributed to GM3. :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol:[/quote]Yes, Cloze passage with helping words. Well...how do you define \"Best\" choice? To the child, his answer is the Best choice...

Mrsbongz:

then his kindy teachers feedback that he has been tellin his classmates that Mommy no longer has time for him, and only loves him when he does his work.. that was quite sobering to hear..

Hope this doesn't rub off my ds hor. :nailbite:

I must subtlely coax ds to reveal what he thinks about me too.

Hehehe! So in this case, luckily my DD is a simple girl and doesn't think too much, otherwise, she may have chosen (2) as the answer too. :lol: :lol: :lol: She may not be so lucky the next round, so I'd better start training her to think deeper.

Many people falling sick. My younger ones were taking turns having gastric flu, thankfully, my dd1 was strong enough to not be infected during the exams.

Do take care. :hugs:

Oh no, hope she's able to fight the \"flu and cough virus\" and be in the pink of health soon. It's not fun falling sick. Take care and maybe boil for her \"liang cha\".
