After hesitating for 1 year, I decided to get my daughter a CL tutor...gave up coaching her. Syllabus is also beyond me :nailbite: The tutor told me the format of the assessment book (written by NTU Cengage) is tough...so I think I will give the B book a miss.

:snuggles: :hugs: Janet,
guess as parents when we are at the lost or can't catch up with the latest syllabus, it best to outsource to others

You referring to the above book? (your DD is using 2A rite?) I have bought the 1A for DD2 too but again another \"sleeping beauty\" in the drawer :sad: She did 2 chapters on the HYPY and stopped there and the next that she did was the one with HYPY + writing the Chinese Character. I have to agree this book is very challenging and is more suitable for higher ability kid. My DD2 is a typical \"eat french fries\" type and me really don't have the time and patience to sit with her to go through this book; Lazy Mummy :siam:

I love the following book and super :please: :love: to find out that ALL the school tingxie words for my P1 DD2 in this term can be found in this book :rahrah: :boogie:

Hi lovinglife,


I chked with them last yr and was informed they do not differentiate bet normal and higher chi in their assessment bk.

I think if in lower primary and the child does not "hate" chi, should get higher chi version.

I have their assessment bk too.

Hi Janet really appreciate your posting. Very clear details. My dd school has not given the details yet.

Will share once available. Regret that her school does not have CA1.

No prob ...I had a difficult time teaching my daughter 完成对话 and the other section on choosing right sentence...句子选择. Yesterday's homework was a full paper on the components which will be tested for SA1...chap 1-5.

完成句子 and 完成对话, 不一样. For the former, even if one is wrong, the others will not be affected.

my daughter find most issues with the below topic, any clue how to improve these areas…



3. Choosing the correct sentence 句子选择 (2m)–>all sentence looks similar–> how to find the best suitable one?
4. Complete a sentence 完成句子 (MCQ) – how to choose the correct mostly suitable option?
8. Completing a conversation 完成对话 (5m)–> write your own like fill in the blank?
9. Comprehension: MCQ and OE (16m)
OE:
1. 从文中找出表达意思的词语–>finding word meaning from passage…she was introduced to this type question in this year…bit struggling…dont know how to guide her…
2. 根据文章内容，找出答案写在表格里–>always write half answers…and find difficulty in thinking questions…which is mostly the last question…

3. Choosing the correct sentence 句子选择 (2m)-->all sentence looks similar--> how to find the best suitable one? I share the same problem with you...but at this level, knowing how to read is crucial bcos my daughter knows which sentence is definitely wrong when I read to her.
4. Complete a sentence 完成句子 (MCQ) -- how to choose the correct mostly suitable option?
8. Completing a conversation 完成对话 (5m)--> write your own like fill in the blank? Choose the correct sentence from options given. Again, have to read and find clues in the next sentence provided.
9. Comprehension: MCQ and OE (16m)
OE:
1. 从文中找出表达意思的词语-->finding word meaning from passage..she was introduced to this type question in this year..bit struggling..dont know how to guide her..
2. 根据文章内容，找出答案写在表格里-->always write half answers..and find difficulty in thinking questions..which is mostly the last question..

All these components are very new...have to go intensive with daughter this March holiday.

Chinese standard is brought downwards.

My son said some of the characters which he learnt in upp primary are now seen in his sister's textbook...also those components like 句子选择, 完成对话 (used to be p4), 从文中找出表达意思的词语/根据文章内容，找出答案写在表格里 (p5).
Fresh out of P2, how can P3 kids be faced with such stuff? :siao:
