Yes. Agree this is very tedious. The more I can do is expose dd to more CL song and hopefully she can remember the lyrics.

So mummy and daughter can \"Da Shen Gao Chang\" as the saying goes, practise makes perfect right :love:

Ha ha. We always like to sing ....
...百战旧河山 古来功难全 江山几局残 荒城重拾何年
文章写不尽 悠悠沧桑史 悲欢岁月尽无情
长江长千里 黄河水不停 江山依旧 人事已非.....

And don't need to buy egg lah....

Lucky i only have psle this year. *whew*. I still think the most tedious is psle. Os & As are all up to them, not us.

Plan to work after dd PSLE. As like everyone say that we also can't do much in their Secondary school. Waiting for 4 October and can disregard all the primary school things lah.

DD just change to a new sch this yr, and CL teacher is teaching them to sing songs like 兰花草, 捉泥鳅, 童话, 外婆的澎湖湾 etc...

As for how it helps in compo will be the way they describe.. like

晚风轻拂澎湖湾
白浪逐沙滩
没有椰林缀斜阳
只是一片海蓝蓝.....

那是外婆柱着杖
将我手轻轻挽...

It depends. For me and my boys, I am able to add more value to them when they are in Sec school. The nature of help is of course different from that in Primary school and one may not need to do that full time. In Primary school, it was quite standard revision for the 4 subjects when it came close to PSLE. In Sec school, they have to learn new skills in both academic and other areas like CCA, leadership. Parents can guide them to be more effective in learning so they could enjoy their Sec school life more.

All the best to your child's PSLE this year! I was like you last year, couldn't wait for PSLE to be over to throw away all the primary school things and it was really exciting when we finally could do that last Oct.

Yes. Agree this is very tedious. The more I can do is expose dd to more CL song and hopefully she can remember the lyrics.

All these songs bring back the nice memory. :hi5: Listening to all these songs and watching CL TV do provide another channel to improve on CL Language.
