Children Genius English, Critical Thinking

One of our school of thoughts is children have different talents. They have some inborn natural intelligences that are obvious which can be used to help them in learning new skills or build other intelligence. We aim to reach out to all multiple intelligences. Thus, you will find each section of our syllabus is not simply designed in reading and writing, but with a completion of various activities.

Multiple Intelligences Pathway:
Each section is designed to reach all multiple intelligences. This is done through the completion of various activities within each section.

Children Genius English is a highly interactive programme that engages your child in dynamic experiments and cognitive games to enhance their critical thinking and creativity. It improves memory, visualization, and concentration skills.

Children Genius English, Phonics & Reading Skills

We strongly advocate through the use of stories such as Story Telling, Reading Comprehension to develop reading skills, understanding the elements in a story, which form the foundation for future composition writing requirement and most of all, pick up useful learning points which can be influential in the child’s attitude and perspective later on. Your child will create their own little stories.

It is also important your child is exposed to cultivating focus skill, prediction skill, sensory and imaginary skills. This is a holistic learning and simply an academic one in mastering children literature in English.

我们期待已久的假期刚刚开始，格外的开心。因此我决定约朋友们到新加坡动物园游玩。今天秋高气爽，我们怀着激动的心情在动物园的入口集合。

我们一进动物园，就看到了各种各样、五花八门的动物。有凶猛的狮子、老虎，美丽的孔雀、天鹅，还有调皮又可爱的猴子。“你们看！”我的朋友喊道。所有游客马上顺着朋友指的方向望去。只看到鸵鸟抢了梅花鹿的食物，撒腿就跑。梅花鹿马上气急败坏地追了上去。我们被这有趣的一幕逗笑了。

我们接着向前走去，看到了斑马和长颈鹿懒洋洋地晒着太阳。走着走着，我们来到了大象的“家”。正赶上大象精彩的表演。它用它又粗又长的鼻子把一位先生卷起来放到自己的背后，我们都为这惊险的一幕而欢呼。

时间不早了，我们挥别了可爱的动物尽兴而归。再会了，新加坡动物园！我们后会有期！

Leading Minds Chinese, A Happy Day

Happiness
By Jean Pullman

Happiness is my high.
Happiness feels great inside.

Happiness is quite rare.
Happiness is barely there.
Happiness comes when I am around friends.

Happiness always ends.
Happiness I want more.
Happiness I adore.

Happiness is when my mom calls.
Happiness is when watching waterfalls.

Happiness is my high.
Happiness feels good inside.

假期的一天，我搭地铁去于老师的家做客。地铁里十分拥挤，我好不容易找到一个座位，刚一坐下，就看到了一位头发花白的老伯伯上了地铁。

我连忙把我的座位让给了他。老伯伯笑着说：“孩子，你坐吧！”“没关系，我站着就行，还是您坐吧”我说。老伯伯拿着拐杖慢慢地坐在座位上，感激地说：“谢谢你，孩子。”

旁边的人都竖起大拇指，夸奖我的好品德，我不好意思地走开了。

到了于老师的家，我把在地铁里发生的事情告诉了于老师，她微笑地对我说：“你真是一个热心的人。”

今天是一个开心的一天，因为我做了一件好事。


评：文章思路清晰，表达通顺，用词较为恰当。故事表达得很完整。如果注意作文格式和段落划分就更好了。加油！

一个风和日丽，万里无云的早晨。我踏着轻快的脚步，搭地铁去于老师的家做客，地铁上人山人海非常拥挤。

刚好，有一个空位，我就坐下来。这时，一位白发苍苍的老伯伯拿着拐杖走进了地铁，他找不到空位只好站着。

我心想：“如果他跌倒不是很危险吗？”于是，我连忙把位让给他。
“老伯伯，请您坐在这吧？”我说。
“你真是一个热心的好孩子”老伯伯对我说。还竖起大拇指夸奖我。我听了心里比吃了蜜糖还要甜。

到了于老师家，我把事情的经过告诉她。她因此夸奖我是一个热心乐于助人的好孩子。

今天是我最开心的一天，因为我做了一件好事。

评：作文写得很简洁，但充分地概括故事的中心思想，文章的结尾紧扣主题是一篇较为完整的作文。加油！

Leading Minds Chinese, My Father

My Father

By Nicholas Gordon

Before I was myself you made me, me
With love and patience, discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.

Before I was myself you made me, me
With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.

Before I was myself you made me, me,
And being good and wise, you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.

For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me, me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.

何胜浩 小三

在我的脑海里，爸爸是一个繁忙的人。他在平时给我的印象是——

爸爸生气时，嘴巴紧紧的闭起来，满脸通红，表情非常严肃。过后才会拿起弟弟的手，火冒三丈地边打边骂。

爸爸睡觉时会咬牙，像一只小狗见到肉一样，是梦到了美味佳肴？还是梦里牙齿很痒？有的时候，他还会大声地打呼噜。

爸爸工作的时候很忙，每次我问问题，他都很快地回答，但其实他都没有仔细听我的问题，所以常常答非所问。

爸爸开心时会把我叫过来，把我抱在腿上，给我讲笑话，这一刻我最幸福，有这么一个好的爸爸，我真的很满足了。

评：小作者能够较恰当地描写爸爸在心中的形象，修辞合理、得当。是一篇很好的看图作文。


陈本泽 小三

我已经五个月没有见到爸爸了，但是爸爸的样子在我的记忆中仍然很清晰。

爸爸生气时，很可怕，他的脸变得通红，每次大喊大叫，不停地骂，都能看见他尖尖的牙齿，像只凶猛的老虎。

爸爸睡觉时，嘴巴开得大大的，就连他做梦时，我也能看得出来，因为他做梦时，脸上会露出恐惧的表情。

爸爸工作时很认真，谁也不能打扰到他，就连他的同伴叫他去午餐，他也一动不动，直到做完手里的工作。

爸爸开心时，就会给我一个大大的笑容，还会把我放到他的肩上，然后抓住我，把我当成一只猴子，跳来跳去，可好玩了！

我真爱我的爸爸。

评：思路清晰，结构恰当。运用了比喻和排比的修辞手法。很鲜明地塑造了“我的爸爸”在“我”的心中的形象，注意比喻句的喻体要符合本体。加油！


林殷绮 小二

“爸爸”，多么温暖的字眼啊！我在我爸爸的怀抱里度过了七个年头。

爸爸的样子很时尚，身材很强健。他的眉毛像印度人的一样。他很在意头发和胡子。

当他开心时，会开怀大笑，当他生气时，全身好像着火一样。

他的性格很温和，但有时候脾气又很古怪。有一次，姐姐考差了，被爸爸骂得抬不起头，他火冒三丈的样子让我很害怕。

虽然爸爸脾气古怪，但我还是要说“谢谢您，爸爸！”

评：本文语序通顺流畅，能看出小作者脑海思路清晰，有的字词很美，希望将这种写人的技巧活用并延伸到其他作文中。


谢玮恒 小三

在我的印象中，爸爸是一个很随和的人，看到谁都是笑呵呵的。

可是别看爸爸看起来很慈爱，生气时，像火山爆发一样，地动山摇。这个时候的爸爸我非常害怕。

爸爸睡觉时，喜欢开着电视。但是这种行为我并不认同，因为这样不环保而且浪费电力资源。

爸爸工作时，喜欢一边看电视一边工作。

开心时，他常常跟我开玩笑。还和我一起玩。这时候的爸爸我非常喜欢。

我爱我的爸爸。

评：作文语序畅通，详略得当，有许多好词句。段落整齐。

Leading Minds English, Composition Beyond Creativity

Ebenezer Chan, Primary 3

Essay 1.
It was a dreadful day at school. My teacher had assigned a lot of homework for us to do. I walked along the pavement to the bus stop with a heavy heart. I cursed silently as I felt run down after a hard day’s work.

Then, I heard someone screaming. The Scream was from a nearby voiddeck. I went there to take a look, I was shocked to see a young boy bullied by some big boys! I quickly called the police. After five minutes, the police came. They managed to capture the big boys. Then I went to calm the little boy downand asked him where he lived. I brought him back home.

The little boy was delighted to see his parents and explained to them what had happened. His parents thanked me and my parents awarded me for doing a good deed.


Essay 2.
This picture dipics a sceen at the bird park. It is a sunny day. This is a local bird park. There are man-made waterfalls. There are also swans, ducks, parrots, a peacock and a flamingo.

There are many people too. There is a sign board. Many people are sitting the train. There is a bridge for people to walk across the pond. There are two girls talking loudly about the peacock. Probably they are talking about the peacock that is beautiful. There is a woman standing beside them. She is taking pictures of the flamingo. I think those people at the bird park will have a wonderful day.


Essay 3.
It was a bright and sunny morning. Our family decided to go for a picnic at the beach. We brought along our ball, spade and food.

When we reached our destination, we changed into our swim suits and started playing. My sister decided to build sandcastles while I wanted to catch lobsters and fishes. When my sister is digging the sand, something hard stucked the spade, soon it became soft.

My sister called out to me, “Ebenezer, come here!” I quickly ran towards her and I used the spade to scoop the thing up. To our surprise, it was a wallet! My sister asked me to open it to find out more information about it. We opened it up and saw an identity card. It was Mr Lim’s wallet. There were also stacks of hundred dollars.

Suddenly, we saw Mr Lim, we quickly ran up to him and told him that he had dropped his wallet. He was very happy. He thanked us profusely.

Benny Ong, Primary 5

I think that the parents in this story should have given the writer more common names, like Ben Brown, Zack Brown or Dan Brown, instead of Electra Brown. They should have considered more carefully before choosing their son’s name.

I also think that they should not follow other people to use places’ names as their son’s name or daughter’s name. They should name their sons using their own ways or methods.

I also think that some of the names were very funny like Jasmine, Sorrel and Basil. All these names were named after herbs. Maybe their mother liked herbs a lot.

In the last paragraph, I still cannot understand why the writer’s dad was leaving. The writer should have specifically told the readers why his dad was leaving.























Vivian Chan Hui Wen, Primary 6

I think that when parents give their children a name, they should think about when their children grow up, will their name embarrassed them or being made fun of, especially when the children are in school. If there is really a law to allow children to change their names if they do not like the name their parents gave them. I think tere should be a rule to say that they are only allowed to change their names when they are a teenager. When a child has become a teenager, he or she will start to think about their future and now, whether their names would be made fun of when they are in school or when they grow up.

The writer is being named Electra Brown by her parents. I think that she does not like the name that her parents had given her. Her parents should not have named her the same way her aunt has named her cousin. They did not think about when the writer grows up, will she be made fun of or teased. Now, the writer is being made fun of by some boys in school. When she has a nickname, the boys also teased her.

We should not teased others or make fun of their names even though how weird or funny their names are. Before we make fun of others, we should think about how the other person would feel. If others teased us, will we like it? We should always spare a thought of others.

A Fight

“Why is the queue so long? I have already stood for thirty minutes,” I complained. I was in a queue buying tickets for the show “Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen”. When I was going to reach the ticket counter, somebody dashed and cut in the queue. He was standing directly in front of me. I was furious. A wave of anger swept over me. “Why did you cut the queue, can’t you see it, you blind rat?” I screamed at the person when he turned around and stared at me.

His eyes were bulging like saucepans. To me, I was a rat and he was a cat, drooling to eat me up. I was very scared of his frightening stare. “Can’t you just shut up? Furthermore, it’s none of your business!” The person shouted at me. I quickly cowered as I was scared that he would beat me up.

The others behind me were glaring at him. They even yelled at him, “Get lost! You are the one who’s cutting the queue!” The man got agitated and he was angry. He kicked one of the people on the buttocks before boxing another person on his face. Nobody dared to stop him as they were afraid that they would be the next one to be beaten up black and blue.

I was rooted to the ground. Beads of perspiration trickled down my forehead. Shivers ran down my spine and hundred of thoughts raced through my mind. Suddenly, I thought of an idea, “Why don’t I call the police?” I whipped out my phone and dialed 999. I informed the police about the incident and they quickly rushed to the scene.

When the man had finished beating up the two people, he walked away, cackling like a witch. Suddenly, two policemen appeared and he was shocked to see them. He ran away as fast as his legs could carry them to. But, nobody could escape from the quick-thinking policemen. When the man ran into an alley, they went by the sides of the alley and caught him unaware. The man tried to escape but he could not as he was surrounded. One policeman pushed the man down before handcuffing him. The man tried to struggle but the other policeman held his hands tightly. In the end, he was caught and sent to the police station.

As for me, my mood was already spoilt by him before watching the movie. I decided not to watch the movie and I walked away, thinking about the incident just now.
