Practising for her first ever 默写.

Thankful for this girl who is very independent when it comes to spelling and dictation and does her own weekly revision. Phew. Yup, all I do is take a quick glance to check for errors (like how she wrote 使 wrong here so I would point it out to her) and then sign on her book when the time comes.

I was tickled by the fact that the first paragraph looked totally like something I used to write in my younger days and even before she could finish writing it, I already guessed most of the words. Haha. My mil always says that her handwriting resembles mine while my bestie whom I have known since Sec 1 totally thought her words were written by me. 真的有像吧.

I also realised their syllabus ain't easy and while I can't recall what I did in upper primary, it just means both of us have to learn together along the way. For instance, she was dismayed that I didn't know what are xylem and phloem - science was my worst subject - and I had to read up before I could jog my memory about something I learnt over two decades ago. I had to explain to her that there are countless things I don't know (妈妈不是万能的) or might have forgotten about but we should be thankful that at least I am here beside her and we can learn together mah. Guess it will only get harder and if we are to continue to stay tuition-free, I will need to buck up too.

It's never easy teaching your own child (because it's much easier for both parties to fly into a temper) but I hope we can do it well hand in hand. If anything, it warms my heart seeing how she in turn teaches her younger sister and brother and they see her as their mentor too. As tough as it may be being the eldest, I think she makes a good 大姐姐 and it is my blessing to have her. That said, I also remind myself to let her be a baby at times and shower her with more ♥️ because that is what she will always be to me - my baby girl.

研究發現「鋼鐵人IRON MAN」🥊　幫你補鐵💪💪
　　　
🌱缺鐵別怕！中研院植微所施臥虎（Dr. Wolfgang Schmidt.）研究員的團隊，發現了一種小胜肽，就叫做「IRON MAN（IMA）」。
　　
🌱IMA可幫助植物根部吸收外在環境中的鐵。此發現可望解決人們因攝鐵量不足所造成的缺鐵性貧血，已初步於番茄實驗中證實。研究成果於10月刊登於國際頂尖期刊《自然植物》（Nature Plants），並被選為重點論文。

　　Iron is an essential mineral nutrient which severely affects the growth, yield, and nutritional quality of plants if not supplied in sufficient quantities. However, how plants integrate the demand of different plant parts and regulate the amount of iron taken up by roots remains largely unknown.
　　A team led by Dr. Wolfgang Schmidt, a Research Fellow in the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology at Academia Sinica, has identified a new family of small peptides named IRON MAN (IMA) that regulate iron homeostasis by acting as phloem-mobile signals in flowering plants. Genes encoding IMA peptides are present in the genomes of all flowering plants but are missing in ferns, algae or fungi, suggesting that these genes emerged at an early stage in the evolution of land plants. Despite their ubiquitous presence, IMA peptides have not been recognized as a family due to their highly variable sizes and structures, and their corresponding genes have remained largely undocumented.
