Hi Vincent,
I'm very happy to see that you are writing longer passages. This is a better way to improve your English.

(a) A majority of pupils scored average marks on the English exam paper. Only a few of them were able to do well and get high marks. They were able to construct a simple sentence without any grammatical errors, in section A.

In addition, they put more effort into writing a more interesting and narrative story. They also double-checked the exam paper before handing it in.

(b) Twenty-five percent of pupils are weak in writing proper English. They can hardly write a simple sentence to express their ideas concisely. They are poor in vocabulary and have a lack of experience in writing. This is probably they less explore themselves in learning English. I don't understand the underlined part. say it another way.

(c) To help them to master English, we have to communicate with children in English always. We need to create a comfortable learning environment to get them involved in learning English as well.

Please ask further questions if you don't understand any of these edits.

Best wishes, Clive

English learning difficulties

I would like to know which are the difficulties Singaporeans face when learning English. i.e. Vocabulary, grammatical/ structure differences and the cultural differences and similarities.

Thanks

Re: we best learn a language by using that language

I am not a teacher, but I feel inclined to respond.

The best way to study any language is to use that language as often as one can. There is no denying that. However, I know this question has something to do with TEFLese, which is known as a bad approach to learning English by simply repeating strict patterns, or trying to produce "correct" form of sentences, without really using it.
This method is horrible. But there is a way to remedy this illness.I think we should focus more on writing. Writing encourages creativity and forces one to fully use the language. Writing is also generally accepted as one of the harder of the four skills. Just being able to produce simple sentences, or fill in blanks, won't help in real life situation. Rather, the grammar, vocabulary, and idioms we know will only dwell on our receptive, not active knowledge of English. And someday they will just dwindle away to nothing.

Just to add to my previous post. Since The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is told from the eyes of a child, the vocabulary and sentence constructions used are not awfully difficult or obscure, yet I think the book does serve the purpose of learning English.

Mr. M's advice is very good. I would just add that you should speak English among yourselves while on the job rather than your native language(s).
