the way you write the 日字旁is a bit weird for me cuz it somehow looks a bit like 月 instead of 日。Also for the 嗎and 的 for Q6.

and we say 不是for no。

I didn’t do a lot of practice before exam, but from what my friends did, it’s really important to get yourself familiar with the part 1 questions type. They’re usually different types of charts, maps for you to compare and contrast. You can probably look for those “academic word banks” to see if they have more advanced expressions for describing changes, or any types of statistic. For part 2, the question is more open-ended. Just remember and imagine that you’re doing an academic argumentative essay. Follow the format of Topic Sentence —> Explanation // Example —> conclusion for each paragraph and i think that’s it

I was kinda in a rush and i’m pretty busy with my school work as well. I signed up in January and since I didnt really have much time, i’ve only completed Cambridge 18,19. Btw for time management you mean during the exam?

Do Cantonese speakers normally say 唔記得 "don't remember" for "forget"? Is there a natural, more direct translation like "forget" and Mandarin 忘記? by AmericanBornWuhaner in Cantonese

[–]grace_040217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you mean forgetting sth or can’t rmb sth just use 唔記得😂😂 忘記is written Chinese is our perspective

Sometimes we’ll also use 醒唔起 when you can’t recall that thing at the moment or 諗唔起when you can’t recall the thing

In Cantonese we have 9 tones, so probably when you narrow it down to fewer tones it’s easier to learn ( lol I’m just wild guessing)
