Sorry that I'm new to Sec school curriculum.


For chinese, what's the difference \"Higher Chinese\", \"Chinese 'B'\" and \"Chinese Special program\"? For Primary school, there is only Normal Chinese and Higher Chinese.

please advise.

TIA!

Hi there!
Higher Chinese is chinese but of a higher standard. Chinese B should be foundation chinese and Chinese Special Program(csp) is what the malay/tamil students take as their third language. Hope this helps

Hi hi,


Higher Chinese : higher standard than Chinese. Students who offer HCL at O
level, gets 2 bonus points for application for JC course.

Chinese (NA OR EXP) :The normal CL taken by most students.

CLB : Offer to EXP/NA students who struggle to pass the normal CL. this
subject is created for those who need to pass CL for JC admission.
However only passed or merit grade be given, cannot count into L1R4
or L1R5.

Basic CL / BCL : Offer to NT students only. Emphasis is on listening and
spoken. No essay or email writing.

Chinese Special Programme / CSP: 3rd language, taken by non-chinese
students.

Hi,

Any good Chinese enrichment to recommended for hCL pls? Especially for holidays, DD so bored but I don't know where to send her.
TIA

Layla,

You have a good question, pm me if you have found one suitable. also quite curious to know how to score well in \"O\" level so that DC can skip this subject when she reach \"A\" Level.

Hi hi,

Read Chinese newspapers and storybooks. Watch CH8 news. Use the language more often.

While i was seaching for some info for secondary school chinese, I came upon this thread.
For the 综合填空 found in page 1 posted by 1 of of the forummer,
I would say this is somewhat the standard of my gal's Sec 1 HCL in DHS,
In fact, even come across some of my gal’s test papers tougher than this. (from the choices of words given, some din even see/or read before )

So for pupils who intends to take HCL in sec schools, advise to brush up your chinese proficency during this school holidays,
One really need to read widely, listens broadly from whatever available resources and practice extensively (hehe….easy said than done)

just to add, for Q5, I would also choose 风雨同舟, seems more appropriate here, as the word followed is 伴侣
as for the word 志同道合 is used for friends/peers, not so approciate to use this word to describe 伴侣. (any chinese pro/teachers to enlighten us on this??)

综合填空

人人都 Q1 (渴望 向往 期待 盼望)[/color]被理解，但理解在哪儿呢?它无形无色，抽象得不可 Q2 (捉摸 思议 理喻 分析)。然而，理解对于人生又那么重要。难怪人人都希望能被理解，人人都觉得自己被人理解得太少，感到生活中更多的是误解、曲解、费解，甚至是大惑不解。人世间之所以有很多 Q3 ( 利害 隔阂 分歧 迷惑)[/color]和矛盾，就是由于缺乏理解造成的啊!

理解尽管玄妙，但却也 Q4 (掺杂 混合 渗透 出现)在我们生活之中。音乐会上的掌声，雪天送来的炭火，对走路不便的老人的搀扶，献给失败者的鲜花，Q5 (志同道合 风雨同舟 一帆风顺 同心协力)[/color]的伴侣等等，还有很多，不知道你可曾留意过。

为了 Q6 (增加 增添 补充 弥补)孤父寡母自己无法替代的感情，子女主动为他们牵线搭桥，寻找伴侣; 自己虽然被打倒了，但却赢得对手的佩服，这比同伴的 Q7 (鼓掌 欢呼 赞美 喝彩)更令人激奋。有些人相处了一辈子，彼此仍不甚了解; 有些人只需要一道眼波，双方便 Q8 (心心相印 相濡以沫 同甘共苦 温故知新)。有些人宁可要一个聪明的敌人， 也不愿意要一个愚蠢的朋友。有一些人一 Q9 (片 副 颗 套)铁石心肠，却被一声问候叩开了泪的闸门。这些，不正是理解在起作用吗?

理解事物是困难的，理解人更困难。你得 Q10 (忍受 忍心 忍耐 残忍)，探求，斗争，甚至做出牺牲。

Are these choices in red correctly? Thanks
i think the rest all correct expect for Q4and 5
Q4 can be 渗透 also
Q5 could be 志同道合 since we are taking about 理解

Hi,

I happened to have this book and the suggested answers are
Q1 1
Q2 1
Q3 2
Q4 3
Q5 1
Q6 4
Q7 4
Q8 1
Q9 2
Q10 3[/quote]Wow....that's was yrs ago posting.....
Anyway, thanks for yr answers posted....
but i still find No. 5 answer dont sound quite right to use for 伴侣 .....

[Lilian2012]

The answer for Q5 is 风雨同舟.

[Jakaranda]

风雨同舟, others are not supposed to be used to describe couples.

志同道合-describe a person who like-minded as another.
风雨同舟-two people going through thick and thin
一帆风顺-successful with no obstacles
同心协力-work together

I’m just a P6 student but still it can be used for reference, I suppose?

Hi Parents


My DD is in Sec 1 this year and would appreciate a recommendation of a good tuition centre/ tutor for HCL. We stay in Sengkang. I am aware of Han and Tienhsia offering tuition for Chinese but which is better? Are there any other better ones? Thanks in advance.
