Chinese Assessment Books

This so-called holiday is not entirely a fun one. When term 2 begins, it will be very mad rush to prepare her for the scary SA1 format. Just thinking of the component like the comprehension question with the box, finding the 词语 from passage is going to be uphill. Whose idea is it to bring this new format in so soon? :slapshead:

Hi Janet,
what is this new comprehension question you are talking about :shock: ?
I am not aware of this and not sure my DD school has introduced it or not..
request you to post a sample online..was this in P4 syllabus previously?

[janet88]

I am not using PC now...or can post sample.

CL Chinese comprehension has 2 types: MCQ and open ended.
For open ended, p3s are supposed to find 词语 from passage. There is also this question which requires students to fill in the box based on answers found in passage. Sorry, hope I am not confusing you.

Janet, thanks for the clear description. will ask DD tonight if she is learning this new comprehension question method in school.


She did encounter the question, where she is supposed the find the word with similar meaning in the passage.

My DD’s chinese is totally outsourced…as I don’t speak or read chinese…
Have to discuss with my DD’s chinese tutor about this too…

Ayah…just stress…stress… and more stress… each year…

Thanks Champion for coming to my rescue

With that introduction of the new format, my present lot of assessment books is considered 'outdated' as most of them do not have the box in comprehension :slapshead:

Same here! Any idea which publisher has introduced this format?

Some of my present lot has 完成对话，句子选择. But don't have that new comprehension format...I have 3 new assessment books and buying another one would be too many...but don't get it means daughter will not have chance to practise the new format :rant:

Looks like I have to make a trip to Popular before holiday begins. Get her to practise in those areas which are new.
