Hi Mary2000
Please do not misunderstand me. I am not a 怪獸家長, and actually I am against pressing the children to get certs for sec. school entry. I just cannot bring myself to agree with the saying that a normal kid should be able to get FCE within the primary years. If she really thinks that, then writing CAE & CPE in sec. years should be a piece of cake to her child.
As you said, English is not everything, and different kids have different talent. I wholeheartedly agree with you.
If you read my other posts, you will know that a daughter of our friend even wrote IGCSE & SAT within her primary years. Are we going to judge other kids with this standard? Not to mention that our own children do not meet these parameters.
Hi Mary2000,
May I ask whether your kid took any courses for the KET/PET exam? Is it possible by self-study?
Would you mind sharing what are the points need to pay attention.
