Hi Tinkerbelle,

30-34 for CL compo is already very good. My DS is doing at 27-30 range only, unless with a title he has done before, he may then hit the 30-34 range. He has even gone \"out of context\" before, and ended up with 8 marks only :shock: :yikes:

Hi Pen88

Just curious was that 命题作文 ?

DD teacher advise them to go for picturing 作文 instead of 命题作文 for normal CL!

Yes, it is 命题作文. He misinterpreted the title and wrote something \"out of point\". I understand from the teacher if \"out of point\", regardless of your language etc., you can only earn <10 marks.

Yes, I head that too, 8 marks only! :scared:

Think is still safer to go for picturing 作文! Even 28 marks also better than 8 marks!

I remember the teachers saying NEVER attempt a ming ti compo unless your Chinese is really really good, ie students from China.

He saw his Chinese marks \"plunge\" to 70+ just because of this. As DS' sch does not give back compo and never reveal marks for compo, oral & listening compre, we only knew about the \"out of point\" compo upon receiving the report book - totally shocked :yikes: (well, I also did not ask after the paper what he had written so I was not aware it was out of point!)

I called him, he asked where do I stay, and instructed me to get from the nearest vendor instead.
