Hi,


Just want to find out if any of your DS/DD did the Rosyth 2010 Prelim Papers. Wanted to find out whether there is any info missing from the Paper 1 Question 27. Only given 2 right angle and a 20%. Just wondering how to find out total number of pupils.... :?:

Hi Emelyn

DD also said there is missing information by not given either total number of people or people for any group etc

She can only work out reading is 30%, Listen to music and Sports are 25% each!

Thank you

My English oral teachers were very friendly and smiled, nodded and even laughed when I said something!:) They also wished me a good day after I wished them. However, my CL oral examiners were two very stony-faced old ladies and completely ignored me when I greeted them and said my index number!:( Also they did not even smile when I smiled at them, and when I had not finished describing the picture, they stopped me and told me I talked too much and went on to conversation! I'm afraid that would affect my marks...also we were running rather late(1 HOUR LATE!!!:O) Granted, they were having a long day and hearing almost the same old stuff for 25+ pupils, but I think they should've been more polite or acknowledged me! It did make me very nervous and I can say that I was not my very best though I tried really hard. Those examiners gave me a nerve-wrecking 10 minutes! Oh well, what is done is done and time will tell how I've done. Good luck to everyone's dds and dss or you, if you are taking PSLE! 加油!! Last leg already!:D

Hi KCQ,

Your experience sounded so familiar. My dd also had 2 Chinese oral examiners, one of them was really stern and rude. My dd and classmates had a nerve racking time. This examiner was bored and actually rolled her eyes at some answers, sharpened her pencil while student is talking, also interrupted sarcastically to one of the top Chinese student on whether she had finished!

My dd was in tears when she came back. She felt that she probably did not do well as the examiners reaction made her nervous. Had to console her and told her to move on. Sigh....

Hmm... not very professional lei. Can complain to MOE or not ?
The poor pupils are already so nervous...and they are certainly not helping by behaving this way !

My youngest girl needs an hour to travel home as the distance between my house and her school is very far. Supp class and Higher Chinese is unavoidable so she reaches home about 5-6pm everyday. Still need to bathe, eat dinner and do homework. and that would end to about 10-11pm. And she would not have enough sleep..

Any suggestions or tips here?

Cheeseandbutter, does your DD has lots of homework? I'm assuming that she finish her bathing & dinner by 7pm. If she complete her schoolwork btw 10pm to 11pm, then it's abt 3 to 4hrs of sch work. That's a lot to me. My DS will also make use of spare time in sch to do his schwork, eg aft lunch & waiting for sch bus. He'll do some of his work in advance, eg 习字, math assessment (the bk is always in his bag), knowing that his teacher will tell him to do. He does not have data plan in his HP, but we do download dictionary on his HP. This helps him to do his work in school.
