2020 PSLE Discussions and Strategies(for those born in 2008)

I think prompts are ok, as long as the child has things to say after that. So in a way, if the teacher prompts, I feel it's good! It helps ensure child can cover more, and sometimes to bring child back into topic. But if teacher prompts and child doesnt say anything, or just 1 sentence and there are awkward pauses, then not so good.


But anyway, just glad oral is finally over, can fully focus on written paper now. Jia you everyone! :grphug:

My DS did CL oral today, some questions are diff from what is in the pic. And we think the examiners he met like to ask lots of non-usual questions bc his other CL speaking friends who are very good in oral were being asked 5-6 questions as well. So we are glad Oral Is over and moving to prelim next week..

Is there any phrase in the picture that indicate its a Graduation event?

I haven’t seen a skit for donket yrs , quite difficult for me too

today CL oral on road safety is manageable, but in the video , the girl who advised the boy in earlier part of video on safety also tried to break traffic rules ! the p6 were expected to share abt their thoughts and comments on this
girl behavior , a bit "tricky" in a way

Any suggestions how to study for coming prelims ?

Do past year papers? Go through past mistakes ?

Need to do timed practice papers to prepare. Time management is an important factor.

Hi parents, today was my daughter's English oral examination, I just want to know if she missed out somethings your children talked about, this is what she talked about.

- She talked about the purpose behind this poster
- She talked about how newly built flats is most likely to be purchased by young adults, so the timing of the event
would suit the young adults work timing very well and also encourage them to attend it.
- She talked about how the food on the poster attracts people to attend this event.
- She talked about the weekend advantage will encourage students/children to attend too.
- She talked about the importance of bonding with neighbors
- She talked about how people these days are on their gadgets/phones, so this is also a good initiative to get them off
their gadgets and start mingling with people.
- She also talked about how our household and neighbor's household exchange delicacies during our respective festivals that we celebrate.
- She talked about what constitutes a good neighbor
- She talked about the government's initiative to give out red ribbons during National Day to show appreciation for
being a good neighbor.
- She talked about her own experience of being in a gathering.
- She also talked about her opinion on good neighbors and bad ones.
- She also talked about how Covid-19 has affected our lives, which also includes refraining from bonding with neighbors.
- She also talked about why she likes her environment in her neighborhood.
- Lastly, she talked about how living harmoniously is something that needs to be further emphasized, because of how
neighborliness is something that plays a huge part of everybody's daily lives.


The examiner asked her 1 prompt which was about how living harmoniously should be further emphasized, please do add if my daughter did not talk about things that your child did. Thanks in advance!😘[/quote]

Cool nurse, I thought this was an adult talking... wow wow she really sounds v experienced, well read and vocal with her own views. Only 1 prompt-I think examiner just had to ask a question as ‘yi-si’.. For oral alone think A* already .

Hi, thanks for bringing this up. Anyone know if it's applicable to all schools? We haven't heard anything from DC school.

Also, all the best for the kids' Prelims exams this week!
