丽文:

我今天来找你,可是你出门了。那天是我不好,我不应该没问清楚,就怪你拿了我的故事书。我后来知道,故事书是明华拿去的。他没问过我,就从我的桌上拿走了故事书。明华已经向我说对不起了。我想我也应该向你说声对不起。对不起,希望你不再生我的气了。

How are PSLE scores calculated?

The PSLE scoring system remains unchanged

The raw mark for each subject is converted

to a Transformed Score (T-score)

The T-score reflects the pupils’ standing

relative to other pupils on a common scale

The Aggregate Score is the sum of the T-

score in all subjects

Each subject carries equal weighting

Purpose . Pupils . ExPerience . Professional Development . Partnership.

How are PSLE scores calculated?

The PSLE score takes into account

Describe the character

A typical story opening written by lower

primary pupils will be:

One day after school, John

decided to visit the school library.

Here’s the first picture of a Picture Composition showing a boy in a school

library.

This is how you can begin by describing the character first:

John loves books more than anything else. He enjoys reading

so much that all his friends call him ‘Mr Bookworm’. John’s

favourite place is the library and he can spend the entire day

there. One day after school, John decided to visit the school

library again.

Begin with an Action

• Last evening, Mr Lee took his dog for a

walk after dinner.

• It was a cool evening. Mr Lee decided to

bring his dog out for a walk at the park.

We can start with an action instead.

• Tinkle jumped and barked for joy. His

owner, Mr Lee, was getting ready to bring

him out for his daily walk at the park.

• Tinkle wagged its tail and dashed out the

door, with Mr Lee pulling at the leash.

“Slow down, Tinkle!” commanded Mr Lee.

would be the use of time or weather such as:

Begin with speech or dialogue

One fine evening, Jane was at home

alone with her baby sister.

This is how you can begin the story with speech or dialogue instead:

“Don’t worry, Mum! I will look after Amy,” Jane told her mother as

her parents waved goodbye. Jane’s parents had gone for a

wedding dinner and she was left alone at home with her baby sister.

“Remember to call us if there’s any problem,” Jane’s mother reminded

her as they waved goodbye. “Don’t worry, Mum! Have fun!” Jane

assured her mother.

This composition is about a girl who is left

at home to babysit her little sibling when

her parents are away. A suitable title could

be Home Alone With The Baby.
