We got 5 questions for chinese oral...
Bad news?.... sweat.
Heard that some got 3 or 4 but their tr said 3 plus 1 are almost standard, a must for chinese oral..

Am i to assume that those who are asked 4 or less are the scorers?

jasst, don't worry, no. of questions asked has no direct relation to the marks.

Chenlaoshi, so does it mean getting 4 questions is better than 5? 以此类推？

Nope 4-6 still ok, do check out my earlier post.

It could be the student is tier 1 for content and I want to decide the exact marks to award the student.

It could also be I want to see how he/she respond to this/these 转向问题 and if he/she does well, I can switch up his/her tier from 2nd (highest 12 marks) to 1st (lowest 13 marks).

Of course, through the answer, will affect the other 15 marks too (language component).

All these 'little' marks are important. For example: Content 12 Language 13 vs. Content 14 Language 14
difference is 3 marks already (can easily affect quest for A*)

After reading number of qns yesterday I asked dd and dd says, more qns doesn't mean bad (i m not sure) says she got 6 for one of cl orals (non psle) and got a full..chenlaoshi, what dd says possible mah?[/quote]Yes MrsKiasu, more doesn't means bad. Reasons as stated above.

However, if too many ~8/+, then could be worrying. Unlikely that the examiners need so many questions to decide. Would be more likely a case of them trying to get the student to elaborate more in hope of him/her being able to handle the questions asked and earn better grading (vs. original not too satisfactory one).

:thankyou: chenlaoshi!

Here are the questions that some of my students had.

https://www.facebook.com/studyroomsg/photos/a.217655321740359/1266628396843041/?type=3&theater

Today EL Oral topic is tricky.
What is the theme, with an electric bulb (poster) there, a student looking at a PC ?

Is the theme on Energy saving, save electricity, switch off computer when not in use ?

Or is the theme on help aging, old folks, elderly senior citizen / young people, who are forgetful ?


3 questions asked were :

1) what changes can u made, to this poster ?

This part not easy because first, u must know what is the central theme first, before can suggest what attempt to make new changes to the poster.

If cannot even get the theme correct, how to know what suggestion to change the poster ?

2) how can you help people, who are forgetful ?


3) can share your own personal experience, when u forgot something ?


No one will ever anticipate that today p6 EL Oral topic kind of focus on the issue, \"forgetfulness\"


CL Oral : huan bao, is more straight forward, simpler because the poster is direct

For the enhancement to poster part, my dd answered : to bold some wordings, add more vibrant colours, add some exclamation marks, use different fonts, insert cartoons / images to attract more people to read this poster. She further added that as a child , she tends to be more attracted to cartoons and by doing all these will help to catch more of her attention. I think her ideas came from doing the visual texts in past year exam papers. Not sure if she needs to understand / refer back to the theme of the poster.

I hope she knows![/quote]The Tier marking scheme will be given to parents for children’s mid year exam and prelim exam’s results for oral.
