My Pals are Here! Grammar Workbook 1 may be based on the latest syllabus from the Ministry of Education (MOE), but that alone cannot make it worth your money. Aptly designed as a complement to the similarly lacklustre My Pals are Here! Grammar Handbook: Primary 1 and 2, this workbook will bore you and your children, and instill a lifelong aversion to good English grammar.
For clear and easy reference, the contents of this book are structured after the Grammar Handbook, with useful links that direct pupils and parents to detailed explanations and examples of grammar items. Alas, both the Grammar Handbook and Grammar Workbook 1 contain a wide range of errors of both grammar and taste that sadly can only be corrected by fire.
Though some of these grammar practices actually require skill, others are simple enough to be tackled by any multiple-cell organism. Recommended only for use in incinerators and for export to economic rivals.
About the Author
In spite of her wealth of experience in education and publishing, Ng Theresa remains ignorant of the proper use of main verbs and their auxiliaries. She is also unaware, despite holding an M.A. in Applied Linguistics from the *ational *niversity of *ingapore, that “up” and “down” are not in fact prepositions, and has no idea what adverbs of time and frequency constitute. However, she has been a primary school teacher, as well as a special education teacher in Singapore. Ever keen on improving the quality of teaching for children, she has also developed a series of reading diagnostics tests for students in Singapore, in collaboration with the *ational *nstitute of *ducation, which perhaps explains the dearth of simple good English at this institute, which annually (this is an adverb of time and frequency) employs grammatically and linguistically challenged people to teach our children.
