Canberra Pri already went home. Chinese picture is in a classroom. Many were not prepared for such \"easy\" picture.

Yes, DD just back home.

The CL picture is in a classroom and the conversation is something related to Group/team work!

The reading passage is easy!

Reading passage is easy, according to DS.

However, the picture is \"too easy\" with only 2 \"major points\" to talk about - 1 naughty boy act and no eating and drinking. In this case, the kids will need to be able to elaborate on environment, and even the 2 major points in order to score well. Most will also be caught off-guard and not know how to say student corner - will say as classroom or library. I think this is more difficult than given a picture of a public place like library, hawker centre, bus stop, etc. where there is more to say.

The conversation on group activity. Need to be able to talk about what group activity you have joined and elaborate on this activity.

My DS's CL oral is tomorrow.

So it will be a new picture and different topic right ?
But degree of difficulty should be the same I hope.
He said the English one is OK.

Yes.... DD also told me the same thing.... a classroom with a student corner, teacher not around. Conversation is \"Have you participated in small group activity?\"
DD & all her classmates said it was easy. Her examiners were very friendly and made her feel at ease.

Didn’t get much detail from DS but apparently the English Oral picture is on animals and the conversation is on the zoo.


Btw Fun3 provided a much more detailed description over at the DSA thread.
