Answers
Primary 4 Chinese Quiz - Writing (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 50
Section A: Vocabulary & Sentence Construction (10 marks)
Question 1 (2 marks)
Answer: (1) 不由自主
Explanation: "不由自主" means "uncontrollably/involuntarily", which fits the context of tears flowing naturally upon seeing an injured puppy.
- (2) 不知所措 = at a loss what to do (doesn't fit tears flowing)
- (3) 无可奈何 = nothing can be done / helpless (doesn't describe automatic tears)
- (4) 心急如焚 = extremely anxious (describes worry, not tears)
Common mistake: Confusing "不由自主" (involuntary action) with "不知所措" (not knowing what to do).
Question 2 (2 marks)
Answer: (1) 脚踏实地
Explanation: "脚踏实地" means "down-to-earth, practical, steady" — the correct virtue to contrast with "贪图安逸" (craving comfort).
- (2) 眼高手低 = high aims but low ability
- (3) 好高骛远 = aiming too high unrealistically
- (4) 得过且过 = muddling through / doing the bare minimum
Teaching note: This tests understanding of positive vs. negative idioms. "脚踏实地" is the only positive idiom among the options.
Question 3 (2 marks)
Answer: (1) 再三
Explanation: "再三" means "repeatedly / again and again", commonly used with "叮嘱" (repeatedly remind).
- (2) 再四 = not a standard phrase
- (3) 再接再厉 = make further efforts (used for actions, not reminders)
- (4) 三心二意 = half-hearted (negative, doesn't fit teacher's reminder)
Key collocation: 再三叮嘱 (repeatedly remind) is a fixed phrase.
Question 4 (2 marks)
Answer: (2) 毫无办法
Explanation: "毫无办法" means "have no way / completely unable to", fitting "想了半天也____解不出来".
- (1) 毫不费力 = effortlessly (opposite meaning)
- (3) 轻而易举 = easily (opposite meaning)
- (4) 得心应手 = doing something skillfully with ease (opposite meaning)
Teaching note: The clue "太难了" (too difficult) and "想了半天" (thought for a long time) signals a negative outcome.
Question 5 (2 marks)
Answer: (3) 爽快
Explanation: "爽快答应" means "readily/happily agreed", matching "说话算数" (keeps one's word).
- (1) 一口 = usually in "一口答应" (also correct but "爽快" better fits the standalone blank)
- (2) 一五一十 = in full detail (describes narration, not agreement)
- (4) 含糊其辞 = vague/evasive (opposite of "说话算数")
Note: Both (1) and (3) can collocate with "答应", but "爽快" as an adverb directly modifies the verb, while "一口" typically requires "一口答应" as a set phrase. In this single-blank format, "爽快" is the better fit.
Section B: Sentence Combining & Transformation (10 marks)

Question 11 (15 marks)
Sample Answer:
今天是种族和谐日,我们学校礼堂举行了盛大的庆祝活动。四位同学分别穿上旗袍、马来传统服装、印度库尔塔和西式正装,代表华族、马来族、印度族和欧亚族,一起手持写着“种族和谐日”的横幅,站在舞台上。礼堂里挂满了红灯笼、葛独装饰和地上的哥拉姆花纹,气氛热烈又温馨。老师在台下鼓掌微笑,台下的同学们也专心观看。我觉得这个活动很有意义,让我们了解不同种族的文化,学会尊重和包容,大家和睦相处,国家才会繁荣稳定。
