An easy paper is good cos no more bell curve this year . It’s still 90 to get 1. So if more gets above 90, then more % will get 1.

Making a change for the better

妈妈：“现在是你的发育时期。你应该吃晚餐。“
伟强：“妈妈你煮的食物太好吃了。我每次都会吃多过一碗饭。最近体重增加了不少。

妈妈：…
1. 其实你应该每天去做运动
2.那我以后煮一碗饭就够了
3.你应该多吃有营养的食物

Hihi, may I check is it a wise move to list RI as first choice and HCI as second choice ?


Kid’s result is 6(M). Or should just forget RI and put HCI as first choice as I believe there will be balloting for 6 at RI and will “waste” my first choice? Kid is undecided between the 2. Thanks

For completing story in HMT. Will there be any possibility that the student wrote out of point? 离题？

Possible .

Eg sister give brother a letter in the house but student write a whole story of being chased by a dog. Even though the child may somehow link the dog to getting out of the house , it’s still off topic.

Otherwise kids could just prepare one composition well and try to link it always to the starting statement.

May I ask HMT compo questions and the overall paper difficulty?

A sister brought back a letter and passed it to me ……. Complete the story


He said paper was manageable and comprehension relatively easy. Which is strange cos he said the normal Chinese comprehension was tough.

He said the paper was easier than Science. That makes me very worried about Science now.

Just now ask my hubby, he said poo got ammonia and ammonia is more alkaline which will be suitable for larva to survive… :heresmyfish: how to get a 11/12 yrs old to understand this?

Erm …. But mosquito don’t lay eggs in poo. They lay eggs in water 😓

Honestly for today’s paper, with so many application questions , it’s really not possible to “study” for it.

@Nina24, my DD talked about the inside of the turkey not being able to gain heat that fast. Is it necessary to talk about it being \"poor conductor of heat\"? It is a 1m question, so how are the marks distributed here..? Anyone?

Same. A few kids were hesitant saying turkey is a poor conductor of heat. They were taught materials are poor conductors of heat but food ? Uncommon

Wah! Your son memorized the paper

Huh ?? Even as an adult, I don’t know the answer.I only know flies attracted to poo to lay eggs but that’s not true for mosquitoes.
