IB DON'T take Chinese B HL

聰明爸，其實唔需要當gsis的方法先係最好，好多其他學校學生（包括本地ib school）都有好好的offer。

Don't know if you are referring to Hong Kong or elsewhere. And not sure which school except GSIS meets your definition of prestigious. And not sure if you know what's meant by "require". I believe CIS is the one that has the longest history of taking IB. CIS only offers French or Spanish as elective but not a "required" subject.

That's interesting. In fact, CIS is one of those schools which is trying hard to make their students do Chinese A. Ask a CIS parent.

我知的不比你少，分析及理解肯定比你叻，亦無扮代表。至於咬文嚼字，你有本事嗎？
我一向英文最差，不過你 ...

"Require" means to make it necessary for someone to do something 懂嗎？

In fact many students in those prestigious IS have already learnt 3 languages，e.g. in CIS, ESF，HKIS

不過是因為我估唔到竟然CIS不會要求學生至少要學三種語言。

既然唔知，可唔可以唔好亂講。

Can't find IS (maybe except gsis) that require 要求 students to learn chinese plus another modern language making up 3 together with english. Based on the school websites, hkis (which actually doesn't do IB but AP) offers Chinese as elective from G6 and CIS offers French and Spanish as electives too. Electives mean those subjects are not compulsory. Even schools in UK doing igcse (which gsis followed or is still following I am not sure) do not require (or even encourage) students to learn 3 languages.

睇返 IB website, Group 1 寫明 "Students will choose to study their group 1 subject(s) in a language in which they are academically competent."
http://www.ibo.org/en/programmes ... age-and-literature/

而 Group 2 就話 "Language B courses are intended for students who have had some previous experience of learning the language."
http://www.ibo.org/en/programmes ... nguage-acquisition/

至於應該點樣 place 學生 in Group 2, 佢就話 "The most important consideration is that the course should be a challenging educational experience for the student, offering not only the opportunity to learn an additional language but also the means of learning, appreciating and effectively interacting in a culture different from the student’s own."
https://ibpublishing.ibo.org/liv ... _e&part=1&chapter=3

首先講明我唔係好識先, 費事講錯比各位插爆. 依度火藥味重, 差隻脚落嚟其實都幾危險.

我覺得大家申請英美大學, 梗係盡量選英文做 Group 1啦. 人地d大學用英文授課, 㨂都㨂個學生d英文係 academically competent啦, 點都好過話自己係有some previous experience of learning英文卦?

至於一個由細讀中文讀到大嘅中國人, 如果佢想揀 Group 2 Language B 中文, 跟足字面解, 我覺得好難話佢只係有 "some" previous experience of learning 中文 (Academically competent 可能係一個比較適合嘅形容詞). 另外, Language B 中文係唔係 challenging for him, 又或者係唔係 "in a culture different from the student's own.", 依d 因素可能都有問題.

當然有個別中國人d中文仲衰過d鬼仔都唔出奇.  一竹篙打一船人對佢地梗係唔公平啦. 不過事實係d大學每年收數以萬計嘅申請. 例如 Ivy League 講緊超過25萬申請一年 (申請英國大學就有66萬個申請一年), 個個都係尖子, 平均100個申請先收9人. 大學又邊咁得閒逐個申請同你睇, 梗係有得篩就篩啦, 所以有時大學嘅收生policy, 可能係有實際嘅需要, 而唔係玩針對. 但當然亦都會有個別嘅學生又得嘅例子, 但我地唔知佢會唔會係SAT考2,400分呢, 又或者有其他特別嘅因素救返佢個申請都唔出奇.

As a CIS parent, I am here to clarify some facts, not to argue.
All students in CIS will take English A, and are expected to use English as 1st language.
All students learn Chinese, at different levels. Even CIS has many "Chinese" students, or half Chinese, some of them only speak English at home, as their parents (or one of them) are not good in communicating in Chinese. So these students only have limited time to practise Chinese, in Chinese lessons, or occasionally talking to friends. These students will surely take Chinese B SL at IB diploma. CIS requires students to take Chinese (A or B) as group 2 subject, except very exceptional cases.
CIS offers French and Spanish as electives. Less than 20%, I would say, will continue until diploma level. This French or Spanish is taken as the 3rd language at IB diploma.

Usually, CIS does not have many students taking Chinese A at diploma level and getting bilingual diploma. This information can be checked from the school website. As I remember, the percentages of students taking Chinese A are between 1x% to 3X%, in different cohorts.

CIS university placements are OK, mostly attending good universities in US and UK.
