Each unit will have 2 major assessments: The first is a writing project in the middle of the term which is done over a long period of time and using digital devices for learning purposes. The second is a hand-written assessment. 

每個單元包含兩個主要評量：第一個是學期中的寫作項目，該項目需要長時間完成，並使用數位設備進行學習。第二個是手寫評量。 

For starters, in order to challenge your child, it is recommended that they choose a book slightly above their Lexile level in order to raise the ceiling regarding their reading comprehension.

首先，為了挑戰你的孩子，建議他們選擇略高於Lexile水平的書籍，以提高他們的閱讀理解上限。

Writing is a difficult subject to self study because it requires practice and feedback. I would suggest tutoring or cram schools as a first recommendation, but AI tools can also help a student check their essay, or improve their sentence structures.

寫作是一門很難自學的學科，因為它需要練習和回饋。我建議先推薦補習班或補習班，但人工智慧工具也可以幫助學生檢查他們的論文，或改進他們的句子結構。

There is a textbook that you can see. In general, the course has 2 units in the first semester and 2 in the second. The skills they learn are...

1. How to answer a question

2. How to write a paragraph

3. How to write an essay

4. How to write and analyze narrative structures

課堂有教科書可以看。一般來說，課程第一學期有 2 個單元，第二學期有 2 個單元。他們學習的技能是:

1. 如何回答問題

2. 如何寫一個段落

3. 如何寫一篇文章

4. 如何撰寫和分析敘述結構

English class and writing class try to accomplish different goals. In English they might be good at writing a magazine article about the themes of a novel, but not so good at writing essays in the writing class. Either way, both are important skills that will contribute to your child's future academic success.

英語課和寫作課有著不同的目標。在英語課程中，學生可能很擅長寫一篇關於小說主題的雜誌文章，但在寫作課上寫論文可能就不那麼拿手了。不管怎樣，這兩項技能都是非常重要的，將會對孩子未來的學業大有幫助。

If it is grammar, make sure the child understands what specific mistakes they are making and practice exercises for that

My teacher said my child's writing structure needs improvement.

If it's structure the students are not following instructions for the class. They either need to engage more in class or ask the teacher for clarification. The structures in the writing class that the students are expected to know are all in the textbook, so going over it is important to review.

如果是文法，請確保孩子明白他們所犯的具體錯誤，並且多多練習。

如果是因為學生未聽從老師指示出現結構問題。他們需要更專心，或是詢問老師。寫作課上學生需要了解的結構都在課本裡，所以複習是非常重要的。

If it is a lack of vocabulary, then your child is not learning enough new words, or reading new words without adding them to their lexicons. These are two different problems, so make sure that when your child is learning inside or outside the class, they are able to use the vocabulary in a practical way.

如果是詞彙量不足，那麼您的孩子就沒有學習足夠的新單詞，或者在閱讀新單字時沒有將其添加到字典中。這是兩個不同的問題，因此請確保您的孩子在課堂內外學習時能夠實際使用詞彙

Use the feedback that was given by the teacher to identify your child's area of improvement. 

使用老師提供的回饋來確定孩子需要改進的領域。
