Hi,


Need advice. My DS is from a mainstream neighbourhood school and has distinction in Higher Chinese.

Should she aim high for top school? But worry whether she can cope and can tahan the long travelling time. Her primary school is merely a few minutes walk from home.

She has been considering RGS, NJC or NYGS as her 1st choice. What are the differences between these three schools? If it were you, which school will you choose as first choice and why?

Thank you.

Personally, I came from a mainstream neighbourhood school. Back then, it took anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour by bus from my home to Chinese High (now HCI). Is it worth it? Looking back, I think it is definitely worth it.

People are willing to travel thousands of miles to enter Harvard or Oxford. Stellar institutions are definitely worth it.

And if I had to pick among the three, I’d pick Raffles.

Thanks, we live in the far North and we don’t own a car. She will have to travel by public transport with few transfers.

She likes chinese ? All girls ? Actually not very difficult as the above schools are quite different.

She loves Chinese. Her Chinese is stronger than English though she scored same grade for both subjects. But being from a Chinese speaking family, our conflict is whether she should continue her studies in a more Chinese focus school or to strengthen on her English language in a non-Chinese focus school.

Besides language, what are the differences between these schools?

For open-ended comprehension question, how do we need to put comma in front of the quotation marks? My child’s teacher taught her to put the comma.

Thank you.

Who can help to explain?

Pls kindly advise the most suitable answer to this qn: For how long will the vixen take care of its young? Answer is (3) or (4)?

(1) one year, (2) four years, (3) eight weeks, (4) three months


… During this time, the vixen gives birth to about 3 to 5 pups in enlarged underground burrows. The pups are born blind but their eyes will open in about 12 days. For the first 8 weeks, they live on their mother’s milk before being fed with partially digested meat that she vomits. These pups are also taught to stalk and kill animals.
At about 3 months, the pups leave the den to hunt on their own. Their hungting skills, which are developed at birth, are improved through practice. Some natural predators of the fox are wolves, eagles and large owls. The life span of the fox is around 1 to 4 years.

Hi,
