I understand the HMT syllabus has changed.

Is oral now included in HMT O lvl exam?

Yup, the students will watch a video then give a verbal report based on the points raised in the video. Thereafter, there will be a discussion based on the topic in the video. Here's the link to the syllabus:

Does anyone know if we can get hold of any oral guide books in the market based on the new HMT O level syllabus ?

Are they selling at popular bookstore?

Think it will be difficult. Not graphic stimulus type. But I did get some for 实用文. New format for 2016. There is a few of them

Does the watch video and then give report also apply to non-HMT Chinese oral? My dd does not qualify to take HMT, so she is taking the normal Chinese ... She asked me to help her get some guide books for Sec 1 Chinese Oral, and I am totally lost. This is so new to me.

Hi Daisyt and Mathsparks,


I know this may not fit this topic, but can you or your child give the following a go? I want an opinion. Do you think this is easy or difficult for Express Chinese (not HCL)?

综合填空

人人都 Q1 (渴望 向往 期待 盼望)被理解，但理解在哪儿呢?它无形无色，抽象得不可 Q2 (捉摸 思议 理喻 分析)。然而，理解对于人生又那么重要。难怪人人都希望能被理解，人人都觉得自己被人理解得太少，感到生活中更多的是误解、曲解、费解，甚至是大惑不解。人世间之所以有很多 Q3 ( 利害 隔阂 分歧 迷惑)和矛盾，就是由于缺乏理解造成的啊!

理解尽管玄妙，但却也 Q4 (掺杂 混合 渗透 出现)在我们生活之中。音乐会上的掌声，雪天送来的炭火，对走路不便的老人的搀扶，献给失败者的鲜花，Q5 (志同道合 风雨同舟 一帆风顺 同心协力)的伴侣等等，还有很多，不知道你可曾留意过。

为了 Q6 (增加 增添 补充 弥补)孤父寡母自己无法替代的感情，子女主动为他们牵线搭桥，寻找伴侣; 自己虽然被打倒了，但却赢得对手的佩服，这比同伴的 Q7 (鼓掌 欢呼 赞美 喝彩)更令人激奋。有些人相处了一辈子，彼此仍不甚了解; 有些人只需要一道眼波，双方便 Q8 (心心相印 相濡以沫 同甘共苦 温故知新)。有些人宁可要一个聪明的敌人， 也不愿意要一个愚蠢的朋友。有一些人一 Q9 (片 副 颗 套)铁石心肠，却被一声问候叩开了泪的闸门。这些，不正是理解在起作用吗?

理解事物是困难的，理解人更困难。你得 Q10 (忍受 忍心 忍耐 残忍)，探求，斗争，甚至做出牺牲。

Ok I'm very late. I'm personally only a Sec 1 HCL student so I basically only know till around P6 HCL stuff(the year just started). Though I got many wrong, I could understand every single word used. I think it's not really hard(at least understandable) but still requires a lot of thinking(like a lot)

There's a reading aloud segment PLUS a conversation segment based on a video clip. If you want more details, there's an oral guide book selling in popular for O lvl MT exams that might give you a better idea.

Ya, apparently nope. Only one oral guide book for MT level. Hope publishers can come up guide books for HMT soon.
