Spell Cast
-
Wonder if anyone watch this show.
Its by Tien Hsia Language School and Morris Allen, who brought Channel 5 Singapore's Brainest Kid, which discontinued.
Anyone watch this to see how the kids fare? It includes some of the Mediacorp artiste to spell certain words. Its quite funny how they spell it. -
i can't spell for nuts
-
well at least they bother to use the format that singapore's brainest kid uses. and i really miss cheryl fox

spelling is actually easy....most kids or adult for that matter loose spelling becoz they dun know the secret behind mastering it...hahaha...lol...when i was in primary school i learned how to spell words only be hearing them all by myself....people cannot teach you wan...spelling is somewat like maths....once you know the numbers you should know how to use them....if you dunno then dat means you still haven't learnt enough....try to think, sound must be similar to words...ofcourse when it comes to spelling, writing something new in english is harder then writing japanese in romaji...Originally posted by BusSpeeder:i see liao i quite surprised. they test adult words and they can even spell out. but if its singapore's brainest kid, don't think they will be able to join. -

wow you bump my thread back to 1st pageOriginally posted by de_middle:neither can i . but they tests those actors/actress who are mainly on chinese shows,since most of them are chinese speaking and usually don't speak or don't even know english, testing them is like trying to insult their english speaking. -

You can be superb at spelling.
But its pointless if you are a dumb ass.
I bet the kids dont even know the meaning of some of the bombastic vocabs they are spelling out.
Seriously -
no.... i meant some other students. different schools have different english teaching methods.Originally posted by Deino:you didn't learn those words? -
There was this american show also something like that... forgot what it's called...
-
there was ephemeral and fjord too
-
i bet their mums and dads locked them up in their rooms and forced them to memorise all the words and threatened to cane them if they didnt remember any word.
