Hi Brenda,

Thanks for enlightening me. I asked DD and she didn't know. She just told me she usually writes about 3 pages for CL compo and her teacher said it was enough.

When you mentioned too many idle words, do you mean too much dialogue in the compo?? Or do you really mean 废话?? DD likes to pepper her compo with dialogue. :lol:

Hi Tinkerbelle

Dialogue is ok. My 废话 means some of the parts don't have to be detials and better 轻描淡写带过.

DD also starting with Energy. :lol:

Hi Tinkerbelle

Ha Ha. Look like their school prefer to start with Energy. Heard from dd now the teacher is started revising some topcis like light, matter etc. Hopefully the teacher can cover more past topics before the CA1.

[quote="Leanne"]Hi Moonflower,


Thanks for info.
May I ask what is the difference between what’s up and current events?

Current events comes with Current Science. It’s jus like newsweek mags.

Tinkerbelle:

Hi James,

Thanks so much for pointing that out. The above was an example given by DD's FT. After reading through your explanations, I agree your answer is more comprehensive. Just curious, would this answer be acceptable too?

Living things need food to obtain energy to carry out life processes and do work?? Tks.

A rather \"kiasu\" way to answer but I think is ok, very factual and complete.

Hi Brenda,

Good to hear that your DD's sch is starting on sci revision. DD's teacher will still trying to complete this term's topics. With CA1 just less than 1.5 weeks away, I'm praying for a miracle.

Hi James,

Ha ha.....ya, I know, I know....I'm very KS. Just want to ensure I'm not teaching DD the wrong concepts/keywords. Thanks for your insightful feedback. :celebrate:

Hi Leanne,

Brenda and you are lucky that your kids read Chinese story books. My DD doesn't like Chinese books. :stupid: I've tried many ways to encourage her to read Chinese story books but to no avail. She only carries an English novel with her everywhere she goes.
