To threadstarter,
Lemme share with you my experience with CL2 and not making the
decision to take up CLB.
The main reason why i feel that doing the chinese language for o
level and not CLB was because 1) I didnt want to lose face 2)
although my chinese pretty much sucked like at 40+ or 30+ , with
enough effort i know I will pass, so thus I stuck with CL2 and nv
gave up.
It all revolves mainly on your confidence and hardwork that you
wanna put in, if you feel that Chinese is simply a waste of your
precious studying time and your not cut out for the language, do
CLB. I can tell you that although i seldom passed chinese, My o
level got C6, since i focused on the chinese oral more as i had
more proficiency in speaking then in writing. Such that i spoke
better, i got lucky and grasp distinction, thats why i passed in
CL2. Currently, im in a poly and my course do not focus anything on
chinese at all, so i didnt see a point in placing much emphasis on
chinese, a pass was enough.
However if you inclined towards a JC, i would advise you to still
stick with CL2 unless in JC you wanna do CLB again which i
personally feel, no offence, a huge embarrasement.
PS Side note, my primary school chinese standard would have been
one of the worst ones since we focus mainly on english.
Entirely, its your decision and choice, i studied hard for chinese
and got a C6 and then i focused on the rest of my subjects for o
levels and well, it paid off even though my Chinese is a C6, but
the rest of my subject grades were much better.
