English Oral Questions:


1) What does the poster reminds us to do?

2) How can u make the poster more attractive to others?

3) Have u ever forgotten something before?

4) How do u help ur family / peers not to be forgetful?

5) Which date would u never forget?

These were the questions which were posed to my girl.

I also find that it is quite unfair for students taking CL on day one and English on Day two.

Here are the questions that some of my students had.

Exactly. One whole batch gets easy, other whole batch, difficult.
This is where they should score.
Now this is affected.

Oral passage contains the word \"Sheepishly\". My girl had a hard time pronouncing it . Her tongue got entangled ..

Sometimes tough is good. Easier to score as long as you talk and look confident. If it's easy, it's hard to differentiate oneself from so many other students - more difficult to score higher marks.

Yes but if the topic is inherently one that doesn’t lend itself well to conversation then try as they might, scoring will be difficult.

Compare reading where they can talk about school library, public library, benefits, programs, to lab rules that suddenly jump to a date you don’t forget.

True, from some viewpoints. My dd got the so-called more difficult topics. She said she had to be resilient and handle the topics as best as she could. She found the topics different - not the cookie cutter type but she thinks it truly tested oral skills and not just how well prepared/ familiar one is.
True too, I guess.

[patlsy79]

I thk not easy for some kids too. My dd told me one of her friend had difficulty to even read the passage, not only conversation. She said got a word 绕 she forgot how to pronounce. She read it as 烧 . She jusy 有旁读旁 LOL…
