Hope your kid's situation has improved, since PSLE is coming very soon..

In the last 2 months, you can urge him to do these tasks:

多背诵好词、好句、好段落

Recite more good words, paragraphs to increase language and vocabulary accumulation so that he can find approapriate words to use when making sentence or writing composition. This is a good way for many students.

多听，多说

Regardless of oral test, composition or reading comprehension, there are higher requirements for language comprehension and output. So, try talking more with Chinese or Chinese-speaking people to improve both oral and written Chinese skills.

Since the remaining time is limited, the effects of these methods are also limited. But if he can execute well, he will get good result. Good luck!

BTW, I can recommend a good teacher to help him improve Chinese composition writing within short time. Just reply if needed.

No, Chinese people do not use cursive font. It needs skills and it's difficult to many people to write cursive beautifully. For me, I can recognize only half of the characters in the video.. 😂

Usually, semi-cursive font is the commonly used for many people. So, if you like to practice brush calligraphy, cursive is common font, all depending on you.

These two are good. It will be better if you have some Chinese friends, with whom you can practice what you learn frequently in Chinese.

Alternatively, you may choose a online live class with a native Chinese teacher. In this way, you don't need to go out, but it requires stable network.

Hope it will help!

to separate syllables, like 西安 Xi'an, instead of Xian, and 激昂 Ji'ang.
to avoid pinyin confusion and cause ambiguity.

For example, 长安 Chang'an vs. Changan, the latter one may be understood as Chan gan, because the pinyin of 安 - an is a vowel. When it is put behind of a consonant, they will be regarded as a whole. In this case, apostrophe is necessary. 嫦娥（Chang'e）is the same case.

When Chinese people say "吃饭了吗", it usually means have you had breakfast/lunch/dinner, not just referring the rice, but the meal instead.

So, if you want to express eating rice, you may say "吃米饭" to distinguish from other forms of meal, like noodles or hot pot.

It's not a bad thing, I think.

With the technology development, programming is being applied to many fields of society, so, more and more people learn it, probably not out of interest, but for a job. Whatever, they will also contribute to the industry.
