I see...

but by stating \"don't judge people simply based on the action/surface, but instead take a longer/detailed observation\", this student will definitely get no mark in this case? I mean, it is also one of the moral lessons in this story, and also quite obvious, ain't it? The main characters also stated (quite explicitly) that she regretted trusting 丽明 too much, showing that it is a bad idea to judge someone too quickly on the mere surface and action.

Sorry, I forgot to state that marks will still be awarded (since it does show the kid's understanding with regards to a large part of the story) but not full, for the reasons stated in my previous post (the part regarding points a,b,c).

This question focuses on full understanding and appreciation of the entire story and the details mentioned (and the kids are taught/reminded about this) thus missing out on taking into consideration point c would make the answer 'incomplete'.

Any one here who is familiar with current psle marking criteria, former moe tr?


For CL compo, is it compulsory to use lesson learnt in the ending? Students cannot use creative way to end in CL? Like allow reader to interpret own ending and lesson learnt.

Hi 6thisnthat9,

It is not compulsory to end the story with a typical lesson learnt conclusion but the theme of the story needs to be highlighted. For example, if it's about honesty, then it can be included in the dialogues involving a character in the story. Reason why most end by concluding lessons learnt is because this is the most straight forward method to 点题 and 表达中心思想.

As for \"allow reader to interpret own ending and lesson learnt\", if there's no clear/previous mention(s) earlier in the essay, then nope, mainly because it is not effective to gauge if the candidate managed to identify the theme and/or subthemes (rubrics for compo marking https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25131&start=970#p1893302).

Thank you chen laoshi.


If theme is abt bad habit and child chose to write about too much reading and affect eyesight.
She ends the story w discovering her myopia has hike to 800 deg and asked a qn,
To read or not to read.
I thought it’s clever but another mum fear it might not meet psle marking criteria.
What do you think?

6thisnthat9,

Sorry for nitpicking, but classifying \"reading too much\" as a bad habit seems off. Instead, the focus should be on the reading postures.

I presume this is a 命题作文？Do you happen to have the exact title?

In the example given, if the title is something like “我的一个坏习惯” or \"我的坏习惯害了我\", then the author needs to acknowledge that his/her habit is a bad one. Therefore, if the question raised at the end is something like \"should I have read lesser?\" or \"should I read or not\" then it doesn't accurately/effectively 点题 since the author seems to be unsure himself/herself.

[6thisnthat9]

You're right Chen Laoshi.

At first glance, her choice of a bad habit doesn't seem to fit the bill. Only handful in same situation can relate to this problem. Maybe it's more suitable for another title, A balance... Lol

Apologies I cannot share the writing here as it does not belong to my child.

The title was 我的坏习惯。yes, the child related her bad habit leading to many problems in school and at home, affecting her performance etc.

Thank you, you have answered our concerns 😊
