Thanks for the sharing.

One question - if the Chinese teacher cannot express himself/herself in proper English, why should he/she not write in Chinese?  I hope I do not appear to be rude, but I feel concerned.  This email, which is full of grammatical errors and incorrect usage, reflects badly on the teacher, if not the school as well.

這是昨天中文老師給我們的email,有些websites可能大家都有用:
Dear all,
Thanks for taking your time off to attend the PTM yesterday, I believe you had a general idea of the syllabus and expectation of each teacher.
During my presentation, we have discussed that:
?the students of p.6? in general have a positive attitude towards learning; ?we have to create an environment for them to speak/ read/ write/ listen more to Chinese Language; ?but, all of us are facing a problem: suitable Chinese books for their age group and interest are not easily available, they think it either too difficult or too iddy?
But, although it is not too easy a task to look for these materials, it is not an excuse not to read or to avoid picking up a Chinese language book.  
We also have agreed to the suggestion that we will source suitable and interesting Chinese language materials, on the internet as well as in the market and that I will do class discussions and activities based on these materials. If you do come across any, please feel free to share with the rest of us.
Yet, if we were to do so, it will mean we will have to set aside some class time for this. As such, we will have to encourage students to prepare themselves for lessons, meaning, I hope they will read through the textbook and check up meaning of the words prior to the start of the lesson, so that it will be easier for them to follow through the lesson and that we could have more time to do other activities.
What to do during self-study? Let your child
?read through the passage, circle the difficult words, and try to guess the meaning; grasp the main theme of the whole passage:
What is the writer trying to tell us?
?check up on the difficult words after reading, see if his/ her uess?is correct; ?learn (discuss, if you are guiding your child) how the words could be used by referring to the dictionary or newspapers.
For a start, here are some websites that I find pretty useful:
Chinese search engine: www.baidu.com (China)
http://edu.ocac.gov.tw/lang/chineselearn/ (games, nice graphics, with a odern?outlook. Traditional Chinese. You can navigate the website first. If you are surfing with you child, you might explain to them the simplified version or let them do the guess.)
www.zuowen.cn (compositions)
www1.moe.edu.sg/dir/cl (Ministry of Education Multimedia Resource)
zaobao.com (online newspaper, Singapore)
www.bbc.co.uk/chinese (news and current affairs)
http://www.aies.cn/ (you can do conversion of traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese and vice versa. Good tool.)
Ok, that all for now. I always believe learning is a process, though grades is important, it not just all about it. Most of all, it is what we have learnt and how we enjoy this process.
I sincerely hope your child will have a wonderful school year ahead and a happy teenage life.
Cheers,

yyyy

leisurefan,

不用預太多時間,因今次只得一檔!都是學校書室將平時放在內面的書擺出來,加上20%discount便是了.

Thanks for the information, yyyy. In fact, my husband and I have intended to go earlier to the bookstore tomorrow
to buy the VCD that you recommended. Now that I know that there is a book fair, we could spend some time on
going through the other stuff as well. :)

Leisurefan,

見細女看"我會說華語"那麼多次,昨天在學校的bookfair處見到一set"漢語拼音"vcd,便買給她看...幸好她還肯看,但相對"我會說華語"就真是悶很多了...

如果明天妳去PTM,可以考慮去PL的bookfair看看...原價$99,現在有20% discount,不過就是原價買都很平宜...有個硬膠file裝住vcd及一本A4size的書,很吸引的...內面有講故事,有唱歌,百看不厭!

對不起...我都不能回答請西人補課有没有用?原因是我的女女沒有試過補習...我想如果真要補習,亦不需要一定是西人,因他們不是oral或listening有問題,而是overall的程度問題,學校是用native的標準出試題,不是native家庭的學生難免比較吃力...我聽過女女說她有些同學1-2年班便看完harry potter,我就見女女4-5班才開始看...所以程度上是有分別的...無辦法!!!先天限制!!!

昨天6年班PTM,中文老師比較頭痛,她要求同學寫一些東西介紹自紹,她發現只要2個同學用中文寫,其他都同英文,所以她想家長多些鼓勵小朋友多看讀中文書...當有家長請老師介紹中文書時,她也說比較難,原因是SIS用簡體字,如果看中國大陸出的書就比較悶,台灣書比較吸引,但又是繁體字...而英文書無疑是比較多元化...所以,又是先天限制...

florence,

見到妳的分享,我又想起從前...

妳個女和我大女面對相同的問題,妳都好些,因妳女女會跟妳說普通話,我大女和我們傾談就單一廣東話.我聽到她說英文以前是搭校車或與同學交談,現在是和同學傾電話而知道...而國語,就從她的功課或成績而估計...

我大女的英文,講是沒有問題的,因幼稚園在校車上他們便是用英文傾談,我見她英文考試卷第一part(考grammer,multiple choice)2-30題都是錯一題半題,但part2就扣好多分...相信與她不是native有很大的關係...相反中文她就覺得很容易...

大女現在6年班,英文覺得比較吃力是由3-4年班開始,可能要分心應付較深的數學和科學有關,女女的閱讀興趣又偏向science,horrible science 系列是她的至愛,但她看得比較慢,現在只完成了horrible science,geogaphy,而history還在努力中,她由抗拒history到現在已看了幾本,我都覺得很開心...我見她的同學,有些經常拿著很厚的書看...這些人..英文比較好...當年老師也有提及女女vocab不夠,要多看不同類型的書,以增加vocal的豐富性...無奈,她只喜愛science..harry porter就走不出第五冊,現在已出到第7冊...她還有3本未看...

佢對講普通話比較有信心, 不過英文其實都ok的 (以我的標準), 從佢放學返到黎同我講番english teacher上課時要佢做既野或要帶d咩野, 我相信佢聽同講都係無問題...

Hi everybody,

The form teachers in my daughter's class are Ms Doris
and Ms. Eng. The latter said that she was replacing Ms.
Kwok who's on maternity leave for the time being. Ms
Doris seems quite nice cos my daughter would talk
about her when she comes home. But she seldom talk
about Ms. Eng. I guess it's because my daughter speaks
zero Putonghua now.

On the day of orientation, a Ms. Tsui (I guess she's the
Chinese teacher who speaks very good Putonghua) asked
us to talk more in Putonghua with our kids at home to
help them pick up the language. I'm still in the course of
trying to find interesting VCDs for my daughter to watch. She speaks 90% English (with an American accent) and
10% Cantonese, no PTH at all. So although I speak the
language myself, I'll have to start from scratches in order to teach her. If there is any effective way that you have
used before to teach your child, please enlighten me.
Thank you very much.

Nice to meet all of you here.:

再者, 佢同其他同班同學比較, 佢既英文就差d, 因為d同學既家長都係native english speaker, 而我的就只係港色英文及講得唔好.

係屋企, 我同佢講野會用3語, 爸爸&婆婆就用廣東話, 工人姐姐就用英文, 佢睇碟就只會選英文/普通話.  睇書就多數只睇英文.

佢同我講, 廣東話係最難...

PY的學生應該是一半中、一半英的，爲什麽孩子會覺得自己的“英文就麻麻地”呢？......請問你們家裏的主要語言是普通話還是英語呢？

Leisurefan、yyyy：

昨天出差到深圳開會去了，所以今天才看到Leisurefan的詢問。我女兒在PY1W，Form teacher是王老師，英語老師是Ms.Fan。同班裏的一個家長告訴我說（她的大孩子升讀p3），這兩位老師非常有經驗，叫我放心好了。

yyyy，你女兒也是在PY1W的嗎？
