mimame,

<both the CD and my daughter (who said teacher taught her) pronounces  "ar"> Oh, that would be more American.  And I think we are still learning British Eng here in HK.

<"a" in front of a word can have 2 ways to pronounce?> There are some common ways to pronounce the "a" sound when it is placed at the beginning of a word, such as (1) "act", (2) "all", (3) "ar" as in "about" (I call it the "big ar" as you have to say it with your mouth wide open), and (4) "ar" (i.e. "small ar" with a small mouth opening as in "alert").  It seems to me that (4) is more common indeed if "a" in the first letter, particularly when the second syllable is stressed, e.g. "afraid', "arrive".  For words beginning with "a" while you have to stress the first syllable, it is more likely that the "a" is pronounced as in (1) e.g. "absent", "angry", or (2) e.g. "always", "altogether" (usu. with "l" following "a").  I'm talking about words beginning with "a" only, I think bubumom has shown you other examples of "a" in the middle of a word.

<how to differentiate words beginning with "c" and "k"?>  It's really difficult to tell, mainly by more reading experience, I think, particularly so if the second letter is a/o/u.  But you will find that if the immediately following letter is e/i, you could easily tell the difference as "k" sounds like "k" in ke/ki, but "c" sounds like "s" in ce/ci.

[Disclaimer:  As I'm not a phonics expert (have never learned that before!), what I can share with you is only my own experience.  My apology for any possible mistakes.]

chuppy,

Yes.  But I'm not sure if my tips are still relevant as the game has changed drastically this year.  Will need to see the list of final intake after the interviews to see if the school is indeed looking for exactly the same group of girls (and just giving some others a false hope by granting 2nd interview chance) or a different mix this year.

我想問下今個 wkend 係咪只有一版中文功課 (溫習樂趣多) 丫?? 因為我唔見有平時寫開個 d 中交功課 (即 1 版得 1 個中文字寫個種)。

btw, 呢個 wk 功課都唔算多 (比我想像中少左 d 中文)，真係要花多 d 時間同 d 小朋友溫書，因為 d assessment 排住隊嚟。

Chuppy, thanks very much for your information.  I am interested in applying for Hoi-ting.

hi hi chuppy and all,

long time no see ar~~ really bc with all sorts of stuff, esp. to prepare the winter clothes for the whole family in the last weekend.

tiffany also told me sth about the eng. assessment.  her class teacher assessed the kids on both monday and tuesday. on monday, she just asked them the phonics sounds while on tuesday the questions on 4-wk plan. when i asked tiffany if the teacher asked her to read any ORT books, she said the reading was not yet done. i think her teacher would assess them on ORT books these 2 days.

btw, my focus is on next week assessment which seems to be a full assessment on different aspects for the 1st term. a bit headache to ask the kid to write all the chinese words... (they really learn a lot of words since the school term starts and the words are much difficult these days...)

mimame

Agree, learning how to write 3 chinese words per week is not an easy task .... since they are just 4 years' old kids who have started to write 2 months ago ...

Another issue is the recognition of the chinese words and sentences in that book which are required to be put in the folder every day. Even my daughter can recognize those difficult words like doctor, postman, picnic, etc., she cannot recognize them in those pink flashcards. I'm really worried...

It happened to my girl too. I think she memorized the sentences instead of recognising the words. That's why she cannot recognise some of the words appeared in other materials.

Yes, exactly what happened to Chloe too, but are those words from 詞彙小天地 be covered in the assessment too?? No way....!!!

mimame

To my understanding, these difficult words will be assessed by Chinese Teacher on next Monday (23 Nov). My daughter still cannot memorize all of them upto this moment...

aiya... how about writing of words?  What words are covered in the assessment?  Up to end-Oct or up to the latest words taught.  My son forgets how to write the most recently taught ones e.g. 友, 布, 信 etc.

我諗D細路係認得一兩個字, 又認得一兩個位置, 再加上背誦, 所以先識讀得晒!

我發覺我個女認詞彙小天地係認位多過認字！慘！ ...

今晚試咗攞D字咭出嚟叫亞女認,大概有80%認到,如果遇到認唔倒時,我會拎本詞彙小天地比佢讀嗰課主題,然後再認一次,我仲同佢玩砌句,最後我就同佢講,你睇吓你已經識咗好多字喇,下次再玩認字遊戲囉,佢都好高興。希望亞女臨場表現唔好失準喇!
