Hi. May I know if it is common to secure a place at an overseas university first before applying for scholarship?

If we accepted the overseas university offer but eventually did not get the scholarship, can we still reject the offer?

Thank you.

It's not just common, it's the norm for girls. For boys who have to serve NS, they have more time and can appy for a scholarship first. For girls, they will have to apply to overseas universities during their JC2 year (dates vary depending on country). Some students may be specially invited early to apply for scholarships, but most only apply after the A level results are released.

Overseas universities have different dates for students to comfirm if they are accepting the place offered. Most don't require an immediate confirmation after an offer is made. Even if the student has made a firm commitment to accept the offered place, I'm not sure what the university can do to him if he finally decides not to show up. Of course, that's not a recommended thing to do.

Many thanks for your reply.

Hi. Would really appreciate help with this question below. Many thanks.


Given that y=m^3/n^2, express y' in terms of m, m', n and n'.

Hello

The answer is y' = (m²/n²) × (3m' - 2m × n')

Thank you!
Understand it now. Should line 1 be 2n instead of 2n^2?

Is your boy alone at home and expected to do his homework from school as well as the homework set by you all by himself? If so, no offence meant but I would think kids being kids, he would most likely not have the self-discipline and motivation to do it on his own.


It’s not mentioned in your post how old is your boy. If he is in lower Primary, all the more he will likely not be mature enough to understand the importance of grades. Especially true for boys who tend to mature slower. Understand your anxiety about his future but to a young boy, it is very likely he is unable to understand your anxiety or to worry about the future himself.

Is it possible that either parent scale back on work to spend more time with him? Sure, career prospects will be affected but if you care enough for the child, it will be worth it. All the bochap attitude he’s exhibiting could be actually be a call of help to you, his parents. KIds sometimes do not know how to get our attention the right way and to him, negative attention could still be attention. I really hope it’s just moments of frustration and work stress that you are are talking about sending him to a home. I really hope you do not mean it.

HI. May I know what’s the criteria to take HCL at Anglican High?

For a child not within the top 10% of psle cohort, not taken HCL at primary school and obtained A grade for normal Chinese, any chance of being able to take HCL?
Thanks!

Q3) The referee blew the whistle when the striker scored a goal.
No sooner ______________________________________________.

No sooner had the referee blown the whistle than the striker scored a goal.

Check out this link for the usage of \"no sooner than\".

Also contrast with the usage of \"Hardly...when\" and \"Scarcely...when\",
Eg Hardly had the referee blown the whistle when the striker scored a goal.

Hope the above helps.

Was with ds2 (6 yo) at a bookshop and he suddenly shouted \"now I know I'm a weighing machine!\". I've heard his brother tell him he is various stuff but never weighing machine.


Turn out he was looking at books on astrology for 2013. I learnt something new.

What's the connection between astrology and weighing machine? :?

Maybe he meant weighing scale, as in his sign is Libra? :?

I might not make sense here. I think to motivate or inspire a child, it does not start with newspaper articles or how successful someone else is. If a child is not motivated no matter how many motivational stories are thrown at the child, I doubt such stories will have any impact. I don't think the situation of how the child succeed, from poor family background, encountered several setbacks, etc, matters to a child who lacks the drive to achieve.

Haha are you talking about my son? For him he just values his leisure too much and does not have the maturity at 12 years to see beyond the now and the present. Think these inspirational stories work only for those who have a certain level of maturity.

No, no, not talking about your ds. Just my observation about human nature in general. [/quote]Ha i know you are not..just that your post really reminded me of my DS. Lost track of the number of such newspaper articles that i have shown him. Doubt it actually did anything to his motivation.
