Best to go for trial or holiday class to try out. TAS class size is big but teaching is clear and my kids enjoy the classes and have shown improvement in their work. I think it really depends on the individual…if the centres have trial class, go for it. If not, you could talk to the teachers and find out more about their teaching methods?

Yes math paper was easy…now hopefully science is all right too.

thanks dear, so if he wrote q2 for continuous, do you think will be penalized?

will have some marks deducted most likely...

I don't think will deduct marks, I remember encountering this before when I was a teacher some eons back marking psle compos. The teacher will usually read the compo, and from there they know which compo it refers to and they will mark according to that question..

Hi , can someone advise me if my ds is writing on e continuous writing , should he put question 2 or question 3? Thanks

Picture or the other one on the library? If picture, it should be 2 and if the other one, it should be 3..

qns 12:
The report said that the huge sum of money sent to the flood victims _______ mostly by Singaporeans? (the qns is something along this line)

1) had been donated
2)were being donated
3)have been donated
4)was being donated

the words in red (sent to the flood victims) considered addn info, need not consider.

so : The report said that the huge sum of money was being donated mostly by Singaporeans.

not : The report said that the huge sum of money had been donated mostly by Singaporeans.

if u want to use \"had been\", then the sentence should be :
The report said that the huge sum of money that had been donated was mostly by Singaporeans.

hope this helps.

So tricky..hmm, my kid said he looked at the word 'said' as in the report said, that shows that part is past tense, but the donations came before the report came out.

yes yes... Jane's frequent arguments with her brother were over toys. I DS corrected me.

Mine wrote 'Jane's frequent argument with her brother was over toys' :sad:

I put: Jane's frequent arguments with her brother are over toys. Not sure if it is the right one.


Does anyone know how to do qns 12:The report said that the huge sum of money sent to the flood victims _______ mostly by Singaporeans?(the qns is something along this line)

1) had been donated
2)were being donated
3)have been donated
4)ws being donated

should be 4) was being donated.

huge sum of money = singular
said = past tense

I thought it should be 1) had been donated. As the singaporeans donated the money first then the report came out..my kid said he had been taught this before in tuition as a timeline question

ASLMUM:

My DD wrote about the party and how they decided to draw on the wall to celebrate dad's birthday, in the end get a scolding instead...think is it ok?

Should be ok I feel as it is still talking about the party..

Can someone help with this synthesis and transformation for today paper :


Jane frequently argumented with her brother over toys.

Jane's frequent ______________________

Is it Jane's frequent arguments with her brother was over toys?

Yes that was what my kid’s friend wrote. He was quite worried and kept saying he did not know what else to write…I did not say anything, told him it should be ok…but was wondering if ticking sound could get louder?


Personally I find this year’s compos harder, like can easily go out of point and my kid said synthesis very tricky and overall paper seems tough
