Practise makes perfect. I tend to spend time with them to help them improve!

我唔記得我在這裡講過未，這位後生仔，有次公司活動我和他及其它人一組，最後要有人出去present, 我說，我成日有 present 機會，問佢今次上唔上？ 我說大家也知內容，如果你上，我可以企在他身邊為他壯膽，有乜事佢只要望我一眼，我便會補上。

結果係點，唔使我講了。

近年香港學校好畸型，太著重分數，家長又愛比較，令整個制度變型，學生及家長非常看重成敗，不再學生為本。我個人認為家長的責任好大，可能大家教育水平比上一代高，希望自己孩子也要「好好睇睇」，唔衰得，要面，追求名校，苦了下一代

It appears to be confidence issue. If I were you, I would ask him to prepare the entire presentation. Make him do it by himself instead of presenting something done by someone else. This allows him to own the presentation himself. One feels more confident on something they fully understand. That works quite well based on my experience. I recall my Canadian boss once mentioned that he felt most hk locals  speak and write English quite well given it is their second languages.

It was a group discussion and he was part of it.  someone has to speak for the group.  I had done it couple of times on the day already and wanted him to take the chance, but alas.

nothing is easier than quitting and just listen but it was a golden learning opportunity and he couldn't possibly fail as I was there to take over if something went wrong.

I was not confident many years back and if one does not practice, one will never improve.

He did not take this low risk opportunity,  what other opportunities will he take?   I think it has something to do with his English major background and he felt he had to be perfect.

Some HK students are too afraid of mistakes.They don't understand people learn faster through mistakes and reflection.

I believe it has something to do with influence by parents or teachers at young age. If it is talking about a mistake on a question in the test or in the exam or a piece of writing, parents should not have over reacted. If we over react just because they cannot get to the right answers or over reward them for getting full marks, they would tend to tie their successes to results instead of the learning process. Again this goes back to the flaw of the education system and mindset of parents or teachers.Of coz when it comes to behavioural issues, I think we should always be strict and let them understand how bad behaviour would impact others and therefore non-acceptable.

請問多唔多小朋友補英文呀！一個星期一次， 銅鑼灣有冇推介？

睇返樓主的情況，好似只是升 year 1。咁真係唔好補，等到真係唔掂先。大部分人根本不需要補習，好多只係人補我補，結果根本浪費時間金錢。

是IS幼稚園嗎？我仔升K1，剛收到學生手冊，裏面話K1-K2玩多過學，K2完時期望學生係識A-Z，數1-10，同埋寫自己個名。其實除左寫名同counting之外，我仔應該都已在N班學左佢來緊兩年要學嘅嘢。
不過我覺得仲好，無左追學習進度的壓力，我可以放心和他作更多課外閱讀，學佢鐘意學嘅嘢，親子相處會更融洽。記得N班學校每兩個月就有progress report, 上次report話我仔唔識分長和短，我到宜家都未有initiative 去教佢。講真，兩歲幾人仔，唔識分長短有咩所謂？
我對於5歲細路唔識字唔會覺得驚訝，反而對於IS可以令他們愉快學習而又銜接到大學課程，更感驚訝和佩服。

其實外國科學家的研究，小孩子5、6歲才適合認字及寫字。
我見網友convenent的回覆跟小兒太相似，才回應下。
小兒没有正式上N班，k1、K2每天3小時英普班。每天大半天在外面玩，一班童黨。早幾年我忙於工作，也不知他在學校學了多少。
到入小學，見有些小孩已識好多字，初時有D擔心。但兩、三年後小兒卻有過之而無不及。他特别喜歡創作，心想可能是否日日在外玩的原因。
幼兒無需太早催谷， 拔苗助長，到有番咁上下成熟，先開始谷，好多時他們自己對 學術 有興趣就會自發性自己谷自己，自己去追求 學術成就.

是的，其實香港幼意教育過份催谷讀寫，浪費了這個時期對聽講，理解，探索，性格的培養。

低年級好似沒有考試測驗，可能間中在課堂上做d writing assessment , 但不用prepare 的，亦未必給分數，到中學多數會有些benchmark writing

小學階段無測考，只有classwork, 所以家長不用太擔心。

初小著重guided reading, 不同學校用不同的program, 有些用'Raz kids', 按level 讀，好多小朋友好喜歡。

在家多點伴讀，一起揀書，從合乎程度開始，買書是樂事。

Y1 開始，老師會給他們做magic writing, 寫得亂七八糟的句子，好可愛，配合畫作，那時的功課keep到現在。

之後也會開始做recount, Y2 會寫故事，長篇大論，then完又then, 但至今回味。

Y3繼續寫diary, 故事、閱讀報告、也開始寫poems, 及functioned writing, 如recipe, menu等；説國際學校不會教寫作？只是家長沒有仔細觀察學校的教學吧。

Y4 會継續在narrative & argumentative writing雙管齊下，有興趣多讀多寫比補習重要得多。

上到中學，English 其實是English language & literature, 要學的既深且廣， 小學時沒有培養孩子閲讀和分析力，成績的確會不理想。

我喜歡讓兒子參加很多户外活動，接受不同的觀感刺激。有一排他愛上一系列wild life影片，就開始寫一系列wild life的 故事。如果没讓他接觸大自然，讓他愛上，他不會有如此熱誠及充滿感情地寫有關wild life的故事。如果只靠硬绷绷的補習，何來會有感情有靈感去創作？寫作寫得好需要發自內心的情感，生活的感受，加上腦海的幻想。只要喜歡，就能自發地不断磨練自已，而越練就越精。又當然，如果本身喜歡寫作，就算老師要求任何題材的寫作，都能充滿自信及流畅地寫出來。
如何讓孩子們愛上學習，才是教育工作者(包括父母)的重點工作，而不是機械化地催谷操練。
