You are right! When my daughter came to OZ, she was 7 and a half years old. she finished 1.5 years study in China primary school.she knew PINYIN and how to use Chinese Dictionary.  I brought all other chinese and  maths primary school's textbooks which she hasn't learnt in China, and let her study Chinese and maths at home at the same term as in China. I teach her which she can't understand. I let her copy every chinese word in the textbooks.  Even like these, she still has some problems in chinese. I think that these kids, who live in English country, will never catch up with those student who live in China. That is why I wasn't worry about my daughter's English when came to OZ, but I was always worry about she will lose Chinese. Ony 1.5 years she already read Harry Potter I,II,III IV, and V, which  all of them are original edition. she doesn't like read chinese books any more. This school holiday, I forced her to read some Chinese books before she starts to read Harry Potter VI. |
