School had finally ended for the day. Jennifer was walking back home from school when she saw an old lady trying desperately to cross the road. She quickened her pace, walked towards the old lady and offered to help the old lady to cross the road. The old lady pushed her away, exclaiming that she could cross the road on her own. However kind-hearted Jennifer refused to leave and stood by the roadside watching the old lady.

Dictation T2W3 - post will expire on 19 April 2013

Dear Kids

I have highlighted the words that commonly misspelt in the dictation exercise. Kindly take note of those words and do not repeat misspell them again in the future. 

"It's finally time to go home," I mumbled to myself. The thought of watching my favourite cartoon made me dash to the bus stop. As it was peak hour, there were many people at the bus stop. Everyone appeared tired and impatient, just like me. "I must get a seat on the bus," I thought to myself. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the bus finally arrived. 

Dictation Passage (T2W1, T2W2) - this post will expire on the 19 April 2013 (extended)

Dear Kids

Kindly refer to the dictation passages below for your corrections.
Please write the passages on a piece of foolscap and staple it at the back of the the spelling worksheet.

Dictation (T2W1)
In richer and more advanced countries such as Singapore, it is more common for people to be overweight than underweight. Being obese is usually a case of having too much body fat. Being overweight or obese is a concern regardless of age or ethnicity. Obesity has been linked to an increased risk  of illness and death from heart disease, stroke, kidney and gallbladder disorders and some forms of cancer. 

Dictation (T2W2)
The British had anticipated that the Japanese would invade from the south of Singapore. As a result, they fortified spots along the southern coast, such as Sentosa and Labrador Park, with cannons. To their surprise, the Japanese entered Singapore from the north using bicycles via the Causeway. This allowed the Japanese to attack and enter Singapore swiftly and quietly, and to move faster their retreating opponents.
