Beijing Language School - Discussion

[coralie]

I asked my girl last nite if they copied each other's tingxie in class. She gave me a shocked look and shook her head


Hmm, my girl skipped last week's lesson. Not sure how she would feel about a test this weekend. But anyway, according to Beijing, they teach ahead of the school syllabus. So maybe that's why they are testing the kids ahead of the school's term 4 test?

Thanks, ladies. Perhaps my Ds misunderstood then. I’ll clarify with him when I go home tonight.


As for creative writing for P1, don’t think my Ds can do it as his chinese is weak.

Agreed. I read through her CA test paper conducted on last term, the standard was even much higher and tougher than her school. There were total 12 pages ( if I remember correctly) to complete within 1 hr or 1.5hrs. However, these assessment tests or weekly lesson is quite manageable for my girl. She has no problem in her ting xie as well as doing the worksheets. For creative writing is really a killing to both of us. I am not so good in my Chinese and hence trying very hard to let her understand how to write a story using the picture and helping words. I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but afraid that she might not doing well in her composition test.

I am contemplating on whether to switch my girl from her standard class to creative writing class when she reaches P2. Anyone here can provide me with any feedback on their creative writing class? TIA…

Hi, I sent my Sec 1 girl & P5 boy in Jan’12 but left in Jun’12. Both very hardly passed their papers. My boy failed all the papers since P2 / P3. Afther attending lessons in Beijing Language…nothing has changed & worst, both trying to find reasons to skip the lessons.


Then I sent them to another tutor in Jun / Jul’12. After the 1 term lessons (10 lessons), both passsed their papers all the way till the recent final exam. From 20-30 marks straight up to above 50 marks. Good start for just 10 lessons.
