There will be 50,000 interpretations of the topic. One for every student that took part in the oral today
And that's good, otherwise we will just have thousands of teachers bored to tears. .. it will be interesting to hear how childrens imaginations takes flight

Verysuperkiasu:
Mine said his friend won second prizeFor MT conversation, they are asked to talk abt a special account which they witnessed about a competition. DD went on to talk about her friend running the 100m race and how she and the rest cheered this girl on and she won first prize. Then DD said the 2 teachers glanced and each other and smiled. Later after the oral, she went to the holding area and found out that the rest also had the same happy conclusion that the person in the conversation won first prize. That's probably why the teachers glanced at each other.
Just wondering:
1) Her account was nothing out of the ordinary - but they ask 'te pie'. She dont know if she's out of point.
2) Second, if all the others give similar happy endings, will her marks be affected?
I know MT oral is over and we should not talk over it but tmr Eng Oral is not over yet. In case same situation happens, then better tell her to think of alternative stories for conversation.

dd told me is a sandwich making session.[/quote]My dd also said it's baking. Her tutor checked with other teachers and some said baking or sandwich making... Another friend said cooking... But I suppose, they shouldn't get penalise if they can vocalise the pic????
BTW... what is the topic for Chinese Oral today? -
My DS said it is a cooking class. he came home looking a little worried because he said the teachers asked him 4 questions for EL picture discussion (prompt?). He said most of his friends have also been asked the same number of questions.
One of his classmates said the picture is about party. He does not think so. -
Chinese Oral's picture description is about Sports Day. The competition is racing while holding a spoon with ping pong ball in it. DS missed out describing a part of the picture :slapshead:
-
I guess oral is not about whether you analyse the pic correctly or not but rather, whether you can translate your thoughts into words.
I guess should not be too worry if one has a diff interpretation of the pic. -
