讀國際學校, 學好中文和中史

torunpoland

或者這樣想，你會開心一些：既能在校接受西方教育的精華，又是身在香港（一定好過唐人街），小孩子仍有很多接觸中華文化的機會，身正身在福中。老土一點說，香港的城功本身就是華洋揉合的結果。

話說回來，以前TVB有蕭笙先生拍的很多歷史電視劇，未入中學時，我都聽過杯酒釋兵權，玄武門之變，讀到中史時便有個硬概。這一代的孩子，是否連愛回家也不看？時代真的不同。父母若要教好的中文，真箇要努力。這方面，我本身就不太寄望學校。

是否做精通文史哲，隨緣吧！簡單的生活文化灌溉和閱讀，其實是家庭娛樂，不會犠牲其他學習的。

真的是十分困難找到合適的繪本，漫華和童書。曾經是找對孩子合適的一本，即上圖書館網捜尋同數系列的書，又或按書后出版社資料（ 多數在台灣），聯絡訂購，這樣便可伸延閱讀了，難得孩子有興趣，不要停下來。

今日腦海回憶小時候的中文和中史是怎麼回來的. 有家中學校童謠, 兒歌, 跟住錄音帶...多謝父母, 家庭經濟開始好就買正版錄音帶,有歌詞睇! 中文就由'橄欖樹',到徐小鳯關正傑等等, 開始累積. 到影響我到今天的, 是任白的再世紅梅記, 鄧麗君的淡淡幽情, 同徐小鳯的秋水伊人. 跟住上小學, 現代中國語文的'李白小時很懶惰'(惡搞版更記憶猶新!)到六年級落花生.上中學的齡記新編中國史,第一課,背省;第二課,背歷代時間表,框架就定下來了.今時今日, 我可以模仿過去多少給小朋友?

不要低估自己的影響力，更要高估孩童的接受潛力。小女是任白戲迷，看著粵曲長大的，兩歲時家居意外，跌裂手骨，到瑪麗醫院時，就可愛的站在椅子上唱帝女花之香夭和紫釵記之劍合釵圓，給護士和嬸嬸欣賞了。還有她是挺喜歡余麗珍的，因為山東紮腳穆桂英好打得，服未？

如果外國人也能讀寫講良好中文，我們也可讀寫講優雅英語，仲要怕？

莫言作品的英文翻譯作者是Howard Globlatt, 美國人，評價是部份內容翻譯得比原文還要好。

讀甚麼學校也可以成材，清楚需要，凡事分首次，重要的先做，其他的可以等等，甚至不一定要做。

到現在, 最深刻的, 其實是再世紅梅記觀柳還琴的開場白:

（賈麟兒掛著一隻葫蘆，從官舫上白欖）莫作太平人，我寧為官家僕，主人賈太師，佢酒色唯徵逐，不理元兵困襄陽，祇知道買妾營金屋，佢家有七夫人，於心尚猶未足，還添廿九釵，共成三十六，新收李慧娘，貌美而孤獨，因貧鬻顏色，尚未諧花燭，今日載酒蕩西湖，停船走馬射糜鹿，慧娘在船中，伏欄時痛哭，我難得有半日閒，走去買酒偷納福。（什邊下介）

借古喻今, 不言而喻, 只想小朋友看得想得多一點!

每次阿女唱呢段, 我就暗笑, 佢自己都唔知自己唱紧物,只是copy cat, 哈哈.....存貞操，殉父母，傻既, 唔使甘伟大挂?

當初先帝悲金鼓，兩番揮劍. 滅奴奴，要我存貞操，殉父母，我雖是人還在世，你那堪賣我毀清操，清室今朝有金鋪，我也不再愛. 慕，駡句狂夫，匹夫， ...

从来无解释内容, 无谓太认真, 等佢自己估上文下理, 佢今天应该明白内容挂!

我们想给的, 不一定是孩子想要的,随缘啦!

Yes there are non-Chinese people who could master the Chinese language really well, but they are about as common as unicorns, certainly much fewer than Chinese people who could master good English. Why? Simply because not all languages are equal and some are inherently more difficult than others.

Pardon me for being straight, if mastering Chinese to a level of appreciating 再世紅梅記 is a priority, then IS is the wrong choice, unless it is one of those PIS that leans heavily towards Chinese. I know some will say "Ah but we're going to heap onto our children tons of extra tuition in Chinese", to that I could only say "Good luck" :)

我比较推崇'有志者事竟成'和'学得其法'

难学不代表不能学懂, 人家花的力气比我要化的大得多, 又十分聪明, 自己无花多少力气, 真的是没得相提并论.

今天在香港的LS 能写好文章的孩子也不多, 是今天的中文比三十年前艰深得多吗.

今年Island school 的其中一位满分状元 的中文, 似乎是修Chinese A. English 当然是A ,Maths 是further maths, 看过此子在香港名校网的发表(踢盘?), 文笔很好. 不知人家是怎样学出来, Anyway, he sets a good example to those juniors.  If he can, everyone can.

IS孩学好中文科是有难度和不足, 有难度才稀罕嘛, 却不是Mission Impossible. 很想说的是开始时没头没脑地仿佛无从入手, 入左直路, 有自学本钱会好一点. 大部分孩子未到直路就退出了.或是愈来愈忙, 唯有终身留守在开始的初段.

楼主, 以上只是分享经验, 如何办, 怎样做, 只能靠自己多于任何学校了. 凡事顺势而行, 不用勉强.

木子兔媽媽

Yup. Priority chosen by daddy, mommy, grandparents and kids can be totally different. In law stated again and again their favor in Chinese for career prospect and respect to our Chinese as home culture, my hubby's love in IS's philosophy and future building. Kids speaking English among themselves and know Chinese more. Me? Maybe in a state of grief to accept the reality.

The best to learn at international schools  is not English and Chinese .  The best  is they would ignore  noisy opinions, and move on happily.  Of course, my opinions are always annoying in my daughter's point of view. Honestly, she is right.

我最感恩係IS在學術吾差之餘，少功課，小朋友有時間玩吓、留白，去探索吓自己鍾意的事物，有d追求。

我小朋友初小，友輩即使讀local的活動教學學校，因為一體一藝，眾多補習，一樣忙到痴線。吾敢話小朋友吾開心，但咁樣塞法，吾係好事。

Any information about the background of this student?
A lot of ESF IB students were from local elite schools, and thus very strong Chinese BEFORE coming to ESF.


The only school in Hong Kong that I believe that have the best chinese+english model is ISF. Still, it is a very good "model", yet students are human and seldom work perfectly as expected. Even at ISF, how many students can take Chinese A?
Note that the choice of Chinese A vs Chinese B is actually not a real choice for students. According to IBO rules, students have to take the language classes at their genuine language level.

I heard he was from Glenealy primary, and taking all 6 subjects HL initially, but later on change 2 subjects to SL, still take 4 HL + 2 SL. amazing?

There are many ISF students taking Chinese A (SL) and  2 or 3 taking Chinese A (HL). They are from China or HK main stream schools.

My daughter would take Chinese A (SL) if she is in HK.  She knows  Chinese culture very well from home and media.  She loves it.  She didn't spend tons of time in tuition and revision.

I would pm the boy's name to you. .  What I want to say is : it is possible, Do it.

想問Annie實際的應用.假如小朋友下午5點回家,工人睇住, 佢哋中文的學習時間和內容點Set? (假設佢哋暫時中文程度拍住Local)

annie40

是念kinder下午班嗎？怎麼五點才到家？
