Yesterday was the start of the SA2 exam for my boy Denver who is in P2. He had his English Paper 2 yesterday and seems quite confident. I wish it will translate to results as he won’t realise even if he have gotten the answers wrong. One thing I always ask him to do is to CHECK after he has finish, but he usually don’t. Kind of like…me…haha…so I can’t be too hard on him :p
Today is Maths and I’m not too worried either, should be able to be in Band 1 or 2, either which I am satisfied. Unless of course he starts to make those careless mistakes again, which he is well capable off. If not, it shouldn’t be that bad.
What I am really worried is his Chinese Paper 2 tomorrow. Well, he once called himself an English Boy, and I was shock, haha, and have to tell him that he is a Chinese Boy who speaks English. Since then, we have been trying to let him speak more Mandarin, which my mum and mum-in-law will help to ensure that, but since they stopped coming over as they both have to take care of younger babies belonging to my sis and my wife’s brother, his Chinese has gone down again. Blame it on us for not sending him to Chinese tution class, and not speaking enough Mandarin at home. I just hope that he can pass his Chinese paper, I don’t need top scores, a pass will satisfy me (not sure about my wife though…heehee…). Then I hope to slowly help him to improve his Chinese. Not with presents as we’ve tried that, so we will have to find some other ways.
