劍橋英文

sampapa

He is P1 boy, now.
No any course or activty jointed from Mover to PET.
I will not take PET in P2, KET is final for him.
Next is other language exam.
All is worked with sample paper only.
1 book is used for 1 exam.
Each book purchased from China @rmb 23~26.
All english is learned on normal school session.

You can take any level on exam, just pay exam fee. You can take KET or PET directly without any cert of YLE level, if kid has a standard or writing skill on it.
ONE requirement is aged 5 or up when seated on exam.

sampapa,

Your son really good arrr, no need to take any course to attend the YLE exam. I also want to do that but we have no time to teach him.

Yesterday, I let my son see our chatting, he said he will try to take the course of KET. Thanks a lot ~

If you take KET/PET exam,
the hand writing is OK or not?
My kid can speak, listen & spelling well, but handwriting is not good.
I told him that his english standard is OK in school, no need to take KET/PET for personal record filing.
This cert is no use for P1/2 kid, just waste money.
My kid ask me what is the last level of English exam for him.
I told him, if you NOT take any english exam P2,
you can take FCE in P3/4, last exam for my kid.
I hope he has this standard before exam.
I prefer him take public exam in math, other language & music if he willing.
Now, he is learning math & other at home.

My kid can speak, listen and spelling ok, because he loves to see dictionary. I think writing need more practise. He also study Maths and Violin outside, just for fun and haven't attend any exams.
May be I will let him to attend exam on Maths at end of year. (珠算 level 6 or 5, it depends)

Hi, sampapa,
May I ask where you could buy the book for the exam with rmb?  You go to Shenzhen to buy or I could buy online?

sampapa

I purchased in Shenzhen.
It is cheaper than HK bookstore or BC.
Quality is OK and matched Sylb.

leungchai

Thanks for the answer.  May I ask whether the books share the same cover for those issued by british council, are they easy to find?
Thanks for your feedback once again!!

我係國風堂買既都同深圳書店一樣，大陸版。人民幣２６元，折合成港幣３３蚊。
因為打電話去深圳書店幾次，都話冇庫存，怕貿貿然上去撲空。見到國風堂有，雖然１：１．３，但都算合理。
慳返交通費，都抵。

有無人可以自學考mover and flyer??
我英文普普通通only, 可唔可以教到我仔仔？

當然可以自學!辛苦啲,但平啲.到外面學,輕鬆啲,但貴啲!

但我個人看,如非為找小學,實在不必要浪費太多精神時間在starter,mover和flyer這類考試上,因為這些證書在小學是幾乎沒用,卻看見不少家長耗費不少金錢和時間.

反過來看,如果小朋友在學校的英文成績能在全級排在前列更實際,因為所有取錄先依成績表作準.舉一個較極端的例子,一間名校同級可能有50個學生能同時拿flyer 15個盾,但這間學校全級最好成績的還是祇得幾個,所以更彰顯校內成績的重要.校內成績好的話即使要找學校,根本不太需要這類證書,校內成績不好的話,這些證書幫助卻不大.

劍橋英語作為提高小朋友的英語水平是不錯,但純為證書而考的卻大可不必了,除非資源不是一個問題吧!

純屬個人看法,不喜勿怪!

對!在香港買既可慳交通費,亦可省時間。

不過,如順道到深圳買書的話,書店和選擇會更多更大,而且很多都是9折的!像鄰近火車站的仁和和盛佳美等。

Yes, totally agreed.
All is cert from YLE/KET/PET is no use for Primary kid, just for fun.
Therefore, I told to my son. His standard is OK in school. no need to take any exam for it.

sampapa

Mover or Flyer is easy for most kids.

I think KET/PET is min standard for English in primary stage.

哈，佢哋 d 內容都係 普普通通架咋，你有冇download d past paper 睇吓呀

不過話須如此，你都要有板有眼咁同佢練 speaking 個 part 喎。如果你應付到，呢個係唔錯既親子遊戲。

舉例說，如果約有1%的幫助，你說這究竟有沒有用呢？

申請小學，最主要看性格、語文能力、面試表現、特別技能、比賽成績、關係、家庭背景、運氣和其他諸多因素左右。

其次再看坊間並不是僅有劍橋英語的證書，還有其他的英文語書，然後還有數學和中文等各式各樣的證書，有誰能告訴我哪一張證書較好或較差嗎？

假設最重要的因素決定了98%的成敗(以基本因素每項佔10%推測），剩餘的2%還要面對其他各式各樣的證書競爭，你認為證書能起得了大作用嗎？
