Any recomm on Model compo book? Is model compo useful? My kid is weak in both chinese and english compo.

For english, you can try books by Liza Tan, the model essays there are good, there was a longman creative writing that I bought before about 2 yrs ago but now I can't find it. TAS creative writing book is of course one of the best. I think good to get model compo books because at least you have some idea of what to look out for in your child's writing.

Sorry I cant help much for chinese, I leave that totally to tuition as I cant help with chinese.

Liza Tan's books are available at popular sale. verry cheap. I bought vol 1 and 2. (P3&4) but I think Its available up to vol 4.

Hi plum,

I bought that P5 'editing, punctuation, synthesis & transformation' from pop suntec at $5. Can't resist it :evil: since not many pop outlets have it...told myself, what the heck...this eng section is here to stay, might as well get it now.

Just opened ceremony for my P6 \"mastering cloze\" by geetha menon/Mia Ali. So, it's 2 grammar cloze, 1 comprehension cloze + 1 exercise on synthesis every morn now. Oh yes, 2 exercises from 'expand your vocab' 2x a week.

I'm getting my daughter to finish up Learning Science Book 1...made my son sit beside and coach her :evil: some form of revision for him too.

While they were sleeping at 1130pm yest, I decided to go all out from now onwards and pile it on this holiday....so I circled the pages to be done this morn...told him, SHEER HARD WORK will pay off...and it's not just NATO (no-action-talk-only).
