偏僻的角落。i think. 寂寞 is used to describe person, or feeling etc.

基本上偏僻和寂寞也可以用来形容这句句子，偏僻只是形容空空一片，遥远、人迹罕至的地方；然而，寂寞可以形容一个没人理会，孤单的意思！所以要明白整篇文章的意思和写作手法，才可下定断！努力明天吧！

I agree. I think 孤单 and 寂寞 are very close in meaning, and may even fit better than 偏僻 because the paper was personified. 偏僻 is more usual as a literal descriptor of a place, but 孤单 and 寂寞 may feel better in context. (I didn't take the exam, my little brother did.)

It wouldn't be very nice if MOE only accepted a single answer (probably 偏僻) based on an overly literal language style.

[Pinyin]

That is a very interesting point for us (parents) to reflect.

rains:

I'm starting to get really disgusted with people who tell others they wrote out of point. They marked psle compositions before is it? Who are they to judge if their classmates' compo is out of point?

I think the compo on helping your competitors in a competition is really unexpected. It fits the title perfectly.

I'm getting really disgusted with all those people who try all ways and means to demoralize others during psle.

My dd told me her classmates told her her compo was ridiculous for English paper 1 and she cried before she did paper two.

I told her not to tell her friends what she wrote for Chinese paper one today. Well, she didn't listen to me. She said she told her friends she wrote three pages. I asked her,\"Did they tell you they wrote four and five pages?\"
She said yes.

And you have these children who tell you every paper is \"super easy lor\". I told her,\"Go and ask them how they found tomorrow's and Wednesday's papers. They will also tell you \"super easy lor\" before they take the papers!\"

Why are children so scary and scheming these days? Instead of telling their friends \"Don't worry la. You'll be fine. Your story is creative\", they say \"you are going to fail/flunk\" so that you will be affected and do badly for the next or remaining papers.

Expressing your opinion is one thing, but hasn't anyone taught them to shut their trap if they got nothing edifying to say?

[Pinyin]

Both are very good stories.


I thought your daughter's storyline is even better than the previous one. If I were the examiner, I would be very impressed with the thoughfulness and selfless act of a 12 yrs old child ('s thinking process in the compo).

Hi:) i just wanted to ask whether writing this is out of point for question one of the compo:) i wrote the school organised a sports carnival. My good friend and itook part in it together. Everyone thought she was kind but at the ending point, she pushed me onto the ground and everyone was shocked beacuse she was known to be kind. Everyone chang :scared: ed the view of her afte.r this incident

Hi
My DD wrote something similar.She wrote during the school carnival they played the 3 legged game. Her competitors tripped and fell.Instead of going ahead she went back to help her competitors.The spectators gave her a rousing applause and thereafter she reflected on the joys of helping others.

My DD friends told her she wrote out of point because it is not an unexpected event.I am worried for her now.

Thank you Rains and Pinyin for your vouch of confidence. Regardless whether my DD wrote out of point or not we already felt much better after your positive feedback.Thnks.

新加坡学校的华文考卷出题，答案总是模棱两可，真令我失望。

尤其对小学生来说，应该考的是他们的理解力，而不是搞糊涂他们的脑力；觉得华文很难分辨词汇，令他们对华文产生恐惧感。
教育部应该对华文教员的素质，加强要求！

不是怕输的妈妈

中学也是这样. 中国老师也觉得很难选答案.

同感！大人都分不出对错，小孩当然没希望呢，选答案好比赌博一样。

不知道shaunshaun、ruohoo对这有什么看法?
