Tackling Oral Examination

[buds]

dilemma:

Hi Buds and CSC


Thanks so much for your valuable advice. Will check with the class teacher if model drawing is compulsory.

I bought the Elementary for Oral Techniques yesterday too. Think it is very good. Buds, thank you very much for your recommendation.

You are very welcome, sweetie!
Like Chief said, we only recommend the best here!

One of my frenz like to say, \"Good things must share...\"

buds:

Better than the one i posted up ya, schellen...?

Mebbe not so clear when transferred electronically?

Ermm, YES! Its the pictures i really like!
Like jedamum said, the practise ones sch
gives are the relatively blurred ones and
you're right to say that its due to hand me
down reasons and also bad photocopying..
(master-photocopy print out archive)

I also like that the book gave me some
questions to prompt just in case my kiddie
got stuck pausing for thought too long...

I cover the prompt-questions during my
practise with her... and also have the
relatively a-lotta-stuff-pictures scanned
and blown up on A4 paper for better
referencing.

Happy trying!

*Oh schellen, i have another one. Just bought.
*Putting it up now...

No, better than what we got from her teacher.
I also like it that there are sample passages of different genres.

Tonight must mug already cos she'll be with my in-law's for the weekend and oral starts on Monday!

Oh i see.. Yup, better than what i got from her teacher too back then in P1
so i source out and found this gem of a piece and thought this one must
share, especially now with oral exams in full swing!

Can ask IL to help revise with her?
Mebbe for Mandarin picture discussions?

I think cannot. EL maybe cos MIL is a pri sch teacher but FIL has lost touch with school system and according to my DD, both of them don't seem to be able to read hypy well, and that my MIL pronounces some words funny.

So Chinese must come back to me eventually.

jedamum,


The chinese book has oral passages, picture for discussions, topics for discussion. Good quality pics. The oral passage is in chinese characters, with helping words (in chinese character, hypy and english translation behind). I guess this would be ok for p2s but for p1s (like my dd1), reading the passage in chinese character could be a problem. Also the answers to picture discussion is very detailed (good for parents) but may be too chim for a p1 kids. Guess kids who attended chinese enrichment classes may be more use to such things. Overall it is a good guide book …time for me to ‘up’ dd1’s chinese standard…heeheee…

Another simpler version - P1 Chinese Oral Booster is also

available at Popular. Same shelves as the other Chinese
oral guide books. No pix for this one. It has orange cover.
Black and white pages inside. Has relatively okay-okay
pictures. The same oral passage opens up both sides
and the tester's page has the hanyu-pinyin help at the
bottom/below the sentences. The picture discussion
pages offer simple short phrases relevant to it - in a small
column. But no English translation.

The Chinese Oral Book by Raffles looks the same as the
English ones only text are in Chinese. Hehee..
That's why easy for keekee to grab both!
