Chinese o lvl help!

Darknessy SG

Im taking my chinese o's at the end of this year and am wondering how am i going to get an a1,i have memorised baozhangbaodao and complain letter but am having alot of trouble with comprehension and clozepassage which i usually end up failing.The o levels are coming in a few months but im not sure how should i study!should i start doing the o level 10 years series or start memorising the shou ce(have never paid attention to chinese lessons for the past few years;\)

bonkysleuth SG

Cheers, I'm in the same dilemma as you. Damn, it's nerve-wrecking, it sure is. Don't try to memorise essays, etc. It won't help much. I don't think I will write the BAO ZHANG BAO DAO thingy. I often score low when i do that.

FireIce SG

are u chinese?

throw face or not?

Renaldy SG

actually hor,for me lar,coming from a A1 chinese student (hao lian a bit =x). through my experience,i can tell you that,chinese is not about bombastic words,but rather good sentence phrasing,i dont recall my chinese essays having more than 5 cheng yu but i always manage to score nonetheless. like wise i dont believe that juz keep throwing in cheng yu will help you much either.

so studying those things are useless 1

as for the comprehension at the behind part, tell you a trick,you might not believe it,but the more you write,the more you score. need to improve chinese i can try to help lo,juz pm me ba,lol

lyx90 SG

chinese very hard to improve unless u read speak and write it everyday. shou ce no use lah nowadays still got test shou ce meh.

hiphop2009 SG

nowadays u pple are so lucky no need memorize so many words lo. (though i nvr had any problems last time)

it is reading everyday and writing frequently.

full stop and enough

ayucrazy SG

fifi is king. get FULL MARKS for compo must be because she mark for herself right? xD

on topic, imho bao zhang du hou gan (bao zhang bao dao) is the easiest type of chinese compo to write, as it requires general knowledge and some application only, instead of racking ur head to come up with some groundbreaking creative fictional story. just keep urself updated with current affairs (ie. light reading of newspapers, televised news, even sgf) and u will find it easy too

good luck

henshin SG

you have to read the close passage and the others very clearly, at least 2 times. With enough understanding, it will become a stepping stone. Now you have to put down the answer that is sounds ok with the words before and sentence after the answer. For the compre, there is a pattern for chinese compre. Most of the question are proportion to the paragraph, so just read that paragraph carefully and you should have no problem. Compo there are techniques too, 1) don't write too much, the more you write, the more mistakes you will make. 2) Choose the topic that is closest to you, not the topic that you like.

Renaldy SG
