Teaching Chinese at Home

[Brenda10]

Hi, some interesting thing to share:


DD was working on her School CL comphre after watching the 9pm CL show last night.

One of the question is why was the door not locked since Candy leave the house?

DD immediate recall one part of the conversation from the show and written: …….家的大门永远为 Candy开着, ………. :lol:

wow, she sure knows how to 学以致用。Good job girl!

Thank you. I think this way to learning CL is very fun lah. Is also quite easier to understand word like 心机 or 单纯 etc from how the ren wu behave in the show.

I have ordered a few 卫斯理 story books but unfortunately some books that I wanted to buy are not able to send to Singapore.

Hi, so happy that we had bought 10 卫斯理 story books during the Suntec bookfair as those titles are always not available when I want to place the order with dangdang.

DD had finished the 1st book 老猫 yesterday and she really enjoy the story. :lol:

Hi ksme

The price ranges are from $8.19 to $10.59 before the 10% discount.

Some titles don't ship to Singapore and book like 老猫 always not stock.
Since this is the school holiday and dd has show great interest in this serial of book then I would not want to miss the opportunity lah.

However, I am also placing order for other titles which are available now at dangdang which estiamte arrive in month of July - August and she can continuous reading after the PSLE.

Thanks Brenda. Your dd can read very fast. For my ds, he takes quite long to finish chinese books. I think I shall check out Dangdang and get some in for dec holidays reading.

Oh, I borrowed this 老猫 due to a friend's recommendation. School library has full series! Better than national library. My son already finished 蓝血人 earlier. I borrowed this from National Library, and interestingly, it's much thicker than the school library's copy.

The 老猫 is very thin book though.
