Q&A - PSLE Chinese

[chenlaoshi]

One issue students face during Oral examination is not being able to express their thoughts correctly/accurately due to their limited range of vocabulary. It is therefore important that they have a solid foundation – esp. when it comes to noun and verbs.


I have uploaded https://sandaochinese.com/useful-terms-for-chinese-oral-exam-%E5%8D%8E%E8%AF%AD%E5%8F%A3%E8%AF%95%E5%B8%B8%E7%94%A8%E8%AF%8D%E8%AF%AD/ to share. Hope parents, students and even fellow tutors will find them useful.

Any book of model compositions for pass year PSLE Chinese exams to recommend?

[HCH]

I was also looking for model compo of pass year PSLE Chinese questions and did not find any, until recently I chanced upon this book in Popular by EduVision (cover page purple in color). You can go and find it in Popular. My DD is reading it and told me the 作文 are very well written, better than the normal compo books. Got all 4 types of compo for both Normal Chinese and Higher Chinese.

Can I check with tutors and parents here please?
For questions that asked 你同意吗... can students' answers 我不同意 if he does not agree with the character's actions, especially if the conclusion of the passage is also to support the character's actions.

Model answer only has 我同意。 THanks in advance!

I am not a tutor. Speaking as an inexperienced parent, I quite like this student’s answer. I think it is a principled and well-explained answer.

However, I believe for CL compre, such (inferential) questions require the student to answer based on the context of the passage (rather than their own opinion). If I’m not wrong, the “reasons” that student should write are shown in the first & last paragraphs of this passage. Would u mind showing us the model answer?

Based on my child’s personal experience, it is only “acceptable” (ie. will still score high marks) to give an unexpected / contrary opinion during English Oral exam.

As a side note…(half joking)…if I receive such a phone call nowadays, immediately I will think of those “kidnapping” scams, I wouldnt rush down anywhere to hand over any money
