PSLE Chinese - General Discussion

[caroline3sg]

Last yr, my girl attended group Maths tuition at a centre. I hands off and she failed in SA1. For final yr, I walked her through 4 days out of 6-7 PSLE marking days (incl wkends) identifying the patterns/trends (ie ratio) & rate and that pulled her up.

This yr, I outsource Maths to a home tutor. He was from ACS/ACJC and scored straight As except Chinese. He is accepted into all local uni and is deciding whether local uni or overseas. But I provide the materials by compiling from various sources.

For Science, yesterday she told me after Mar 1 wk hols, teacher wants them to stay back once a week for supplementary lessons covering P3/4/5 syllabus. She is also attending group tuition at a centre. The centre started with Energy first while sch started with Enviornment/Interactions first. So in a way, she finished whole yr’s syllabus. But I have yet to go through with her energy although I am not as good as the male tuition teacher as guys are better in such topics.

Environment/Interactions is more interesting than Energy, for girls. I make learning more interesting by showing her videos (and we went to watch Sea Monsters) and of course, colour printed materials. So far, no drilling yet.

English, the worksheets especially cloze passage, are very difficult. Even I do not know how to do. Vocab & Spelling (for exam is editing), I keep asking her to check dict.

Chinese is her interest. But compre (same for eng) need to use own words, are a challenge.

Does anyone know whether the current list of must-learn 成语 still valid in PSLE 2010? Any good reference book to reccomend for the new oral format?
Thanks.

Parents with kids taking PSLE CL & HCL in 2010 would have gone through the old format in the past and new facing in the new exam format. Do your and your kids feel the new format easilier or more difficult so far compared to the old format? Any share of experience, comments are appreciated.

Anyone know of good "topical" Chinese assessment books ?

I am looking for exercises classified into categories, like, 辨字，词义选择，etc. Most of the time, I can only find assessment based on chapters in the school text book… where they cover all categories.

I am planning to drill my son in various categories… especially 辨字，词义选择.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

学华语要从“看”、“听”、“读”、“写”来进行。
从阅读报纸和课外书，加上孩子和家长一起阅读，可以达到“看”、“听”和“读”。
要学“写”，就得动笔写日记，写作文。我在中学的时候，就有写文章投稿。
现在我开了一个“学作文”的博客，让孩子们来尝试“投稿”。

在这个学校假期，不妨试一试！

Hi,


Is there an Chinese composition marking scheme that lists what are the checkpoints to achieve certain marks - or perhaps a range of samples with their grades - to allow us to distinguish between a poor one from a good one, or from a good one to an even better one.

Cheers

Q13 WS ans: 问世 Will 产生 or 诞生 be acceptable?

hi P5G,

For Q9, both 误会 and 错怪 are acceptable; I will say 错怪 will be more appropriate.

Base on your answer, I think you are referring to Q12; the answer should be 问世 (问世 = 一种新产品初次推出市场）， 产生 is 'produce' while 诞生 = born.
