New system eh... Last time no such thing.. 😂

From my understanding, teachers in sjkc have problems trying to prevent the students from using dialects in their written essay. Very often they use some Cantonese words when constructing a Mandarin sentence. Only teachers can spot such mistakes.

Can't blame the kids though. They listen to all dialects at home. 😅 Kinda mix up everything, like rojak Chinese..

I think same as usage of malay too. Kids tend to use mix up phrases like.... "sos cili" and "chilli sauce" 😆

We Malaysians are lucky to be able to learn to speak various dialects and languages.

To have them in written form, it is very challenging. Thus schools are the best place to learn the languages properly.

The last time we went to HK...
Outside one makan shop..
We queue behind one couple..

Heard the waitress answered them in Mandarin, say full house.. No empty seats..

After they left, we spoke Cantonese to the same waitress... She replied instantly, yau yau... yau wai... But had to split.... 4 of us... 2 at one small table. Another 2 at another small table... 👌😉

Yeah we felt so at home .. 😆 👍
