Tomorrow we begin our PSLE Intensives until December 18th. I would like to congratulate my 2019 PSLE students for their accomplishments and results \u2013 from A*s and As and to my student who worked hard to accomplish his B grade, which he believed was not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no perfect model on how to achieve and A* for English<\/strong>. Sometimes, students join me in Primary 6 with a total of 72% and with hard work and determination, go from a B to an A* at PSLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from having a good foundation of English<\/strong>, being motivated to attend the extra lessons organised and do the extra work set by the teacher, are some of the ways to achieve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Vocabulary, Editing or<\/strong> Phrasal verbs lists are given, it is important to learn them well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the same way, when feedback is given for compositions done and how to improve on them, action is taken by the student and suggestions given by the teacher are implemented in the next composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, while having a good English teacher who provides the necessary materials, practice and guidance in the PSLE year<\/strong> is important, being a self-motivated<\/strong> and diligent student<\/strong> is equally as important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a Primary 6 English composition<\/strong> by one of my students who scored an A* for her 2019 PSLE English. The topic, A Changed Behaviour, came out for Nanyang Pri School SA1 English composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We worked on it during one of our Intensives lessons before the PSLE and this is her composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrimary 6 English Composition: A Changed Behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n
