In editing, there is this sentence

\"Deceiving sellers would replace the chickens with stray cats.\"
They are supposed to change the word form of 'deceiving'. He put as 'deceivious' but I think it should be 'deceitful'.

Any comments?

I thought deceptive is the adj.

My son wrote 'deceitful'. But come to think of it, why deceptive cannot? Deceptive is having the power to cheat, deceitful is like 'dishonest' So maybe 'deceitful' is a better adjective

[quote=\"ppnqq\"]My child's teachers are also very on, still in school having lessons now. Really worried for her health. Yes, mine called up saying the paper was easy too.

We r in the same boat!! :imdrowning: :grphug:

Make a cup of american ginseng with boiling water and let them drink when they are home. A whole day out can be very \"heaty\" for the body, esp in such weather. Drinking this can reduce \"heatiness\" and also provide them some perk-up.

I have been doing lots of herbal tea and soup over the last few days / weeks to keep DS in good health.[/quote] :thankyou: pen88n

Overall looks like today's EL Paper was quite an easy one. DS too came back with a smiling face. He was able to complete the copmo in time. Usually he get carried away and then rushes to finish it in the last 5 mins. So glad that he managed his time well. He said S & T and Comp Cloze were also quite easy. No killer stuff.

A good way to start off the written papers.

Good luck to the kiddos for the rest of the exams. :rahrah:

The \"bah\" was for the deceptive. I think from the thread, \"pronounced\" is the right answer.
