Hi plum-cake,

Just want to check with you regarding the Home Study English. Called Times to confirm stock but was told it is not by MC. Problem is there is no picture of the cover indicated. That Home Study English is good but there is no more stock at Popular.

Hi Janet,
I got them from Plaza Singapura Branch Times. I manage to scan the images for you. P2 one. It is by MC.

Hi Janet,
Did \"your legs carry you into Popular again?\" while you chiiled out at IMM yesterday

Reading here - from Plum Cake - so Times is having 30% Sales? Whoa! great deal to grab books for myself! (Assessment Books can wait 1st :P).

HI Champion,

My legs will definitely 'bring me' to Popular
Actually, I wanted to go to PS Times yesterday...tempted by 30% discount but staff couldn't tell me over the phone if there is stock for Home Study...thus I decided not to make a wasted trip there.

Called Popular City Sq outlet if they have stock for Grammar P6 there...apparently that outlet has, so asked to transfer it to Popular IMM.

Hi Janet and Plum Cake,

The HOME STUDY is by Marshall Cavendish? Whoa, they really have a lot of new assessment books and I having hard time catching up

How do your find this HOME STUDY? Is it available in P3? I was doing Grammar and Vocabulary assessment book with DD1 this morning - she did very well and in a faster pace for Grammar but for Vocabulary, I have to sit with her for 1 hour just to finish one worksheet of 15 MCQs :x [Of course, that includes in between toilet breaks and snacks].

Hi Champion,
Home Study is discontinued...although it's not bad, it's not possible to find this. I wanted to get Home Study P6 but it's not avail.
My daughter doesn't have much prob with grammar but her vocab needs to be worked on. Her teacher called me last Friday, telling me she is rather playful and talkative...can't stop her completely but have to learn to control.

Yes , Janet - Mine too :roll: I have to work on her vocabulary :P. At times I can get very tired when she literally does not make an effort to attempt to the Qs and just expect me to TELL her the answer :x . I get her to check the dictionary and write down the meaning for the new vocab words. Then read the Q again before she chose the correct answer for the MCQ Qs.

I do not know whether my method is correct? :? It is very time consuming - apparently 1 hour to do 15 MCQs compare to 10 minutes she can finish 15 MCQs for grammar . Every time after finish voacb worksheet, she will be like,\"Errr....finally, I finish fighting the war!\" :lol: As for me, it will be like,\" :!: , 1 hour to do 15 MCQs! Really long yo!\"
