Effective Use of Good Words and Phrases in PSLE Primary Chinese Composition | Singapore Chinese Tutor Ms Chen
Memorizing good words and phrases blindly makes it hard for children to digest and apply them effectively. The effective approach is: first, distill and summarize frequently tested themes, memorizing only one or two examples per category and practicing dictation; then, through repeated training in different contexts, help children understand when to use them. Ultimately, internalize these words and phrases to achieve natural and fluent expression in writing.

Having children blindly memorize large volumes of good words and phrases yields poor results, as they not only struggle to commit them to memory but also lack the ability to select and apply them in specific contexts. The core issue lies in excessive input that lacks focus, preventing children from internalizing knowledge.
The effective solution is to shift strategies: First, refine and summarize for children, providing only a small number (one or two) of the most essential phrases and sentences for frequently tested themes (such as describing anger or urgency), ensuring they can accurately recite them. Second, and more crucially, engage in contextualized practice. By repeatedly applying these same phrases within different images or scenarios, students grasp their appropriate usage. This process ultimately internalizes the phrases as their own language, enabling effortless and natural application in writing.
