No , I did not . Why should I take it in order to know if Chinese STPM is harder than FM T in STPM ? Statistics does that for me . Then again , do you need to take STPM in order to know if its harder than SPM ?
It is now clear to me that you do not know anything about SPM Chinese . So I really think you should not argue about this matter .
What I was referring to is
not the mark to score an A for Chinese . It is about the difficulty of that particular subject .
But since you know nothing about Chinese in SPM , there's nothing I can do .
You just don't get my point . Did I say anything about Chinese in university ?
Chinese language in universities are the basic ones , how to read and write simple words / sentences . You can't compare that to Chinese in SPM . Again , reread my point about interpreting classical texts .
I am baffled by the fact that you can suddenly divert your argument towards the Wright Brothers .
Consider this : The Wright Brothers were completely passionate about engineering . If they did not have the passion , do you think we'll have aeroplanes ? This brings up the point about your *interest* .
Think again .
*p/s : Without planes , we don't need to swim over the ocean , we have ships .

You get brainwashed already........Chinese is not difficult, it is a very interesting subject indeed......Wright brothers did that because of interest, so, as a Chinese, you are not interested in your mother tongue??????? You are not interested in your China history and your literature?????
Stop your propagation about Chinese is tough.......You dont take Chinese is your own problem, dont ruin other's mind who still have to take Chinese..........
PS: For those taking Chinese for next year SPM, ask yourself what is your problem with Chinese, what is there so difficult. Finally what can you do to overcome all these problems.........Dont sitting there talking about Chinese is tough but nothing can be done just like someone here.......Dont whine only........it contributes nothing to your problem.....
haha u two r cute! btw maximR, u r a CHinese rite? have u ever studied in chinese schools?
i'm taking my SPM dis year, taking Chinese too.. bout the interpreting of the classical texts, actually it's quite beneficial!
through dat we can learn those folk tales n most importantly the real beauty of Chinese words..imagine those days ppl can understand others by only a few words n nowadays ppl need 2 write a whole long paragraph juz to express the same thing!
it may not be useful in daily life, but learning to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of it makes it totally worth it!
U noe, it's true dat the ques r tough, but the main cause of y so little ppl get A+ is bcoz the adjusting of the marks..
it's not really the ques fault, or the marker fault..
if we really noe it's their tactics to force us to give up Chinese, y follow their wish??
