How to help my child score good results in PSLE Chinese papers?

If your child has weak foundation aka cannot read or recognize most Chinese words in the textbook, then NOW is the best time to help them up their results for Chinese in 6 months time.

Step 1: study the textbook texts and read ONE sentence aloud daily and study 3-5 words (识写字、识读字) daily. write down all the words learnt in a notebook everyday. (parents can check notebook weekly).

Do the above daily for at least 3 months. every day 30 minutes.

Step 2 study the words again and construct a sentence per word on your notebook (Do 3-5 sentences a day)

read textbook and check with teacher the pronunciation (email/SMS audio) and rectify any mistake that day. rerecord and listen to the correct ones.

continue until you can read the whole text without stops and all pronunciation is right.

This may take at least 2 months of hard work.

I can assure you before step 2 Ended most of you would have given up or on the way to giving up, SO you need to be determined and have a strong will to survive till now, congrats to you for now.

How a student went from Fail in Chinese Composition to 27 marks in 6 months and he wrote a themed composition! (updated 2022)

Every year there are students who want to excel in their PSLE Chinese Language examination. And one of the hardest part of the examination papers is paper 1 composition. Its is hardest due to the fact the it is actually a test of students' overall Chinese Language capability including vocabulary, sentence making skills and other vital skills required to score in PSLE Chinese.

How to increase your vocabulary to score in composition?

This is so easy to improve yet not many will spent the effort to do it consistently. The first word list for any students to master is the primary 5 to primary 6 word list in the back of their textbooks. there are almost 500 to 600 words there and by really understanding them, students have already built a great foundation to score in PSLE Chinese.

I have compiled a very easy to use word list for primary 5 to 6 students and most students find it very easy to learn. Its BASED ON THE NEW Textbook and new 2017 PSLE examination format. Its different from the rest of the word lists and handbooks due to its simplicity and efficiency of learning. you can find it here.

FInd out more about the word list you said

How to Write sentences correctly in the PSLE Chinese examinations?

Chinese sentences are not without its grammar but the grammar rules are very different from that of the English Language! For example, Most sentences start with a structure like:

Who(Object) Do something (Verb) like 妈妈(mother : object) 在吃饭(eating a meal : verb)

However, the similarity stops there, some sentences will require change of vocabulary or altering of sentence structure to be translated correctly. Buy students often take the English sentence into their own hand and translate it directly to Chinese sentences without much thought and the result is bad.

examples include：

我只想玩Call of Duty一起跟你。（而不是说跟你一起玩Paw Patrol）
I just want to play Call of Duty together with you.

你能请给我一张纸么？（完全是英文的表达方式）
Could you please give me a piece of paper?

我饿了也是。（把副词放在形容词后面是典型的英文语法）
I’m hungry too.

我想去游泳明天。（时间副词置后）
I want to go swimming tomorrow.

这个表有十分钟慢。（这个最英文。。。。）
This clock is ten minutes slow.

So to make sure students get those right, I wrote another book that explains Chinese grammar in a very easy to understanding way for people to learn to write the correct Chinese sentences.

How to Write your story in the correct way to move your audiences?

The third Vital skills in Chinese Composition is the ability to write a story with the best story structure storytellers used to spin their tales. And I will just tell you my little recipe.

Writing a composition is like eating a burger, it has a few ingredients in it like a bun, a piece of patty or beef or any ingredients of your choice and another bun.

Intruduction

The top bun is like the introduction, the patty or the ingredients in the middle is the rising action to the climax and to the falling action.

Conclusion

The bottom bun is like the resolution and conclusion. If all of the ingredients are cooked well, it will taste good, right?

The rest of the story: falling action, climax, falling action

So, if the introduction, falling action, climax, falling action, resolution and conclusion are good, it will be a good story that many will love.

Language

Not just the context of the story must be good, the language you use must also be excellent so it will be fluent and will be a good story for many to read. Language consists of grammar, spelling and use of good words. If you have both good context and language, your composition will definitely be rewarded high marks.

Good phrases and vocabulary

Remember, if you write too many good sentences in Chinese composition, known as "好词好句", will be ignored! So, to play safe, use at most 2 good Chinese sentences in one paragraph to enlighten your story! You don't want to eat a burger with hundreds of toppings, right?

FATS

Apply the same concept to Chinese composition. While writing a Chinese composition, you can write "FATS" at the side of the paper with pictures and not on the same paper you're writing your story in. "F" stands for feelings, "A" stand for action(s) and "T" stands for thoughts. Once you have wrote one of those, you tick beside them. Example, I wrote "我感到很惊讶", I would tick beside "F".

Conclusion

The three key to improving your composition is not those good words good phrases, Its the foundation we call them
1, Accurate usage of Good vocabulary.
2, Proper sentence construction.
3, Good story telling skill which includes Practical Structure for All good stories.
Happy writing and score well

How to do well in PSLE Chinese Language paper 2 Section A?

3 steps to full marks in PSLE Chinese Paper 2 Section A 50/50

Afterall its just 25 MCQ questions right?

This section is the easiest one to score high 50/50 but it requires a lot of study and study requires tactics.

Step 1. You need to get the primary 5 and 6 new edition Chinese textbook, and study the words in the chapters.
Specially for you, I got the word list now: https://bit.ly/Newwordlist

Step 2, Study tactics one: Do only a few words everyday and by 3 months you studied 700 words.

Step 3, study tactics 2: revise 1 or 2 words everyday and you revised 200 words in 3 months.

Note: the word list for Primary 6 is different from 2019 textbook list however the total number of words needed for PSLE Chinese Language is the same with some different. So you need a new word list for the new Primary 6 Chinese Language textbook.

"The three steps to score in PSLE Chinese Language starts with the FIRST victory for scoring FULL MARK in Paper 2 Section A with 50/50." By Mr tan Liep Ming

How one student followed my 3 milestone plan to pass his PSLE Chinese in 1 years.

Is Chinese really important in PSLE 2020?
Yes. we all know that PSLE 2020 is still using the average graded T-score so your subject results will be compared to the whole batch of students taking PSLE 2020 and your T-score will be moderated against the overall result of the whole batch of students. so if your one subject fail, your T score will drop a lot.

Since I do not have the overall scores for each subjects of all the students in 2020, i will use an estimated T-score formula to calculate your children's T-score to show my point.

Estimated T-score without knowing every subjects mean result = sum of subjects result x 0.75

If you have all subjects 90 marks, your estimated T-score is 270. What if your Chinese just pass by 50 marks,you will get estimated 240 and you could still apply for good schools but if you score 270 you could go any schools you want. This happens with any decrease in scores for any subjects involved.

Therefore we can conclude that Chinese is very important in your PSLE result so every subject is important in PSLE.

Why Chinese and not other subjects?
Because Chinese is a second language and its only used in school for 6-7 hours out of 60 hours in a normal week. That's about 10% of the school week teaching time.  The environment for studying Chinese in School as experienced by my students are quite negative, either the teachers have a lot to say but none of it is on study methods, or schools may prescribe study material yet nothing is said about what are the most important skills to master from those material. So most of the time, you can imagine every student is essentially going a up hill battle to master Chinese. 

However, Chinese is not hard to master at all (You need to know that the level of knowledge of Chinese has been altered to match that of the present day students) and one need to study it using strategies to maximize learning effectiveness. However you would see a lot of students study Chinese with pure determination or just plain give up. Not many students could figure out a way to study Chinese easily.

Why the 3 milestone plan worked?
The 3 milestone plan are very easy to monitor, very easy to follow and very easy to practice. The method build 2 things in the character of a student: Habits and progression. This is like a game where students know their status and results everyday. So if one student lacks progress. It could be easily caused by 2 things, either the student broke their good habits and develop bad ones, or the student is not effective in their study method or in other words the study method may not suit the students learning method.

How to tackle the PSLE Chinese Paper?

PSLE Chinese has 4 papers namely
Paper 1: Composition (picture composition or topic composition)
Paper 2: written paper which are divided into 2 sections, section A is to focus on words and sentences. Section B is to focus on comprehension.
Paper 3 is Listening Comprehension which your suppose to focus on listening and note some basic understanding.

Paper 4 is the oral paper which your suppose to focus on reading with emotion and speaking with confidence. Of course you would need to familiarize the students with words, phrases and sentences that are commonly used in certain topics.
Every paper requires some knowledge and some tactics to study them. This part could be up to the school teachers or parents.

There is 3 things to know in this method:
1) Score 50/50 for paper 2 section A.

2) Score 22/40 for paper 2 section B comprehension.
3) Score 32/40 for composition.
When you achieved the 3 milestones, you got 104 out of the 200 marks.

This excludes how well you score for oral and listening comprehension.

How long will results show?

Well, results only show when students do there tasks everyday for a certain duration.

I have a student who almost passed till primary 6 SA1 and he studied diligently for 1 year, then he passed his preliminary examination!

Will my child be suited for this method?
Maybe you should ask yourself 3 questions?
1) Will my child do his assigned task everyday without fail?
2) Will my child think that they deserved better results if they worked for it?
3) Will your child be motivated to do more everyday?

If your child says no to more than 1 questions then you need to motivate your child in the correct direction. I can show your child the way, but I cannot walk the path for him!

Lastly, every book on the shelves teach some sort of method to study, what I teach is very personal and its custom made for your child as I believe every child is different, so it is impossible to have one method that fits every child.

The 3 steps to scoring in PSLE Chinese?

The 3 steps to scoring in PSLE Chinese?

1) Do something Chinese everyday!

Study 3 words, know their word formation, its hanyu pinyin, its word pair (aka 配词), and how to use them in sentences via 造句. This helps in the overall word recognition and builds vocabulary necessary for all papers. best if you read the words 7 times and write them 7 times. 7 is the magic number to remember things and repeat it enough times for long term memory.

2) Read a good paragraph everyday and try to memorize them. Reading is not a good way to study, memorizing and dictation is better. But memorizing and applying them in compo is even better! Application of knowledge can help make boring things interesting.

(hint: write a paragraph everyday.)

3) read aloud the textbook passages everyday, this exercise builds a sense of language which is lacking in most students.

So good day for all and hope you learn something - do something Chinese Everyday will help you improve your grades.....REALLY!

How to make chinese lessons interesting? For those who don’t like chinese.

1) Words wise, play with the parts(偏旁) and the sides(部首). You can create new meanings with them, string them in a short story and make sure the story is funny. The traditional ones is the
一个日本人，拿着一把刀，站在大门口，砍了四个人。It is the word zhao 照 which means shining. I could create something like there is a Sun (日) which shore lights rays like (刀)on the mouth (口) and the mouth dropped 4 saliva (四个点). Visual stories tend to be remembered better than non logical ones.

2) Let them play with Chinese words and phrases. Play creates good memories and enhances learning. using parts and sides, let pupils go into text book and find as many words based on parts or sides. let them compete for best finders' award. (good for primary schools) find word pairs, find cheng yu that started with certain words etc, make sure the process is fun.

3) Do with a time limit
Pupils loved a challenge and certainly loved timed challenges. I tried "find a word in dictionary in 12 seconds", "Read a paragraph in 2 minutes" or "read all spelling words in 5 minutes". Show them the clock, demo once for them and time your try. Ask them if they can win you by doing it using less time or do more for same time. Encourage good try, let them win a few times (innocently) to enhance their interest. (even if the improvement is 0.01 seconds, to pupils its means a lot to praise that improvement.) At conclusion show that they have improved would inspire them.

4) coach with the objective in mind and their obstacles in sight.
Set their objective straight and know their hardship.
Common hardship:-
a) lack of vocabulary
b) unable to read words apart from spelling lists.
c) unable to pronounce words correctly
d) lack of knowledge on grammar and sentence structure.
e) lack of motivation to study
f) lack of focus and willingness
etc

Some common objectives of our young ones and a common reason for it:
a) wanted to be a star/k-pop star/actor(ess)/sports star/youtuber/muser/popular blogger/instagram star etc. (why study so hard if I can earn more?)
b) wanted to ignore Chinese and score in PSLE.( I'm hoping for an exemption from Chinese etc)
c) wanted an A in Chinese (but plays game like crazy and in every situation)
d) don't know what I want????? (because I really have no idea about my future)

Just like a doctor, look for symptoms and discover the obstacles and prescript medicine to cure. Most obstacles are just symptoms of bad habits, bad manners and bad thinking processes; alter their habits and their results will show.

Now this is in request of a reader on how to make Chinese interesting, hope you like it.

What is your goal in PSLE 2018?

People and students often tell me what happened in their holidays and their dream school. I am glad that life is well for them.
However, staying in the comfort zone will not lead to better results, Its determination and persistant effort to improve everyday that creates better result.
Are you satisfied with your results, if no then
what is your goal for PSLE 2018?
Goals help one find out what they want, and from there you find out how to get there.

Last year I forgotten to reveal the one little thing about success, that success leaves a trail and a mentor would be best for students to get the success they want.

A mentor could be your parents, your friends or even your teachers. So aside from setting a goal, get a mentor to lead you the path with less struggle.
There is 3 kinds of knowledge:
1) those that you know,
2) those that you know you need to learn and 
3) those that you do not know.

Of the 3 types of knowledge, its the knowledge that you do not that will help you the most as those knowledge are some thing that you will never discover if not your mentor.

A mentor had gone the path you want to success in and had success with it, They can tell you something that you do not know and help you avoid the traps and harness your hidden talents.

“

One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.      

John C. Maxwell

So in conclusion, you see scientist had great mentors, artists had great mentors, even great thinker had mentors. for example, Warren Buffet the greatest investors in US learnt from Benjamin Graham.
"Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing and one of Buffett's professors at Columbia Business School. "Ben Graham was certainly the man who set me on the course that's worked now for a good many years," Buffett says." CNBCSep 29, 2017 

How about Albert Einstein? He credits his mentor Konstantinos Karathodoris,
"We all know about Albert Einstein, the founder of the theory of relativity but how about the person who taught him and showed him the way to a bright scientific journey which would change the world? That was his teacher, Konstantinos Karathodoris. During one of his last pubic appearance Albert Einstein said, “You ask me to answer to all sorts of questions, but no one has ever wanted to know who was my teacher, who showed me the way to the higher mathematical science, thought and research. I simply say that my teacher was the unrivaled Greek Konstantinos Karatheodoris, to who we owe everything…” Indeed, it was a Greek from Thrace. He has not only been in touch with Einstein but has also helped him to complete the theory of relativity. "

In Chinese saying, the teacher leads the way to the door, whether the student is successful depends on each student. 

One way to be successful in PSLE 2018 is to find out and put 7 habits into your life. Good luck!
