Any idea where can I get past year HCL O level oral.topics? I don't think it is in the TYS.

Since moving to video based oral conversation (Pri level from drawing to video; Sec level from photo to video), oral component has not been included in TYS (for Pri level 's 3-years series too). Some schools actually use \"recycle\" the videos and use them in sch WA/exam in following years so I guess that's one of the main reason why they aren't made available publicly.

I thought I saw chen laoshi posted a list of oral topics.. don’t recall if it’s for primary or secondary HCL though.

We recently had a oral in school, and it was tough! Climate change![/quote]

Yeah, I shared 2020 and 2021's GCE O-Level CL Oral Topics https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=102404&start=20#p2065370.

It's combined effort —— sharing from different tutors/teachers/candidates who sat for the exam —— much more difficult to \"compile\" cos' unlike PSLE's 2 days of oral exam, O-Level stretches to 5/7 days.

Can consider getting this book?

(I bought the PSLE version and it comes with a QR code to scan to access the videos plus model answers).

Will the hcl topics be similar? I only want to know the themes so that I could ask my girls to crack their heads and plan for these topics in June. When is HCL O level oral? Nowadays I don't really follow national exams schedules....

Zeal mummy, if I do, it will be for those taking O Level oral this year.

Yes, Imp75. Theme wise, they are the same. The only differences are
- in the video (HCL's version has narration throughout + includes some \"interview\" scenes, unlike CL version which only has narration at start of the video) and
- some of the questions asked

Thanks chenlaoshi.
