He mentioned pic discussion was charity food fair. For discussion, something about doing good deed. Can't remember whether he said going old age home or picking rubbish at the beach. Total relief now that PSLE oral is over :rahrah: kept up all the oral books on 17th Aug itself.

Kids interpret pictures in various ways, sometimes its difficult to decide if the interpretation is accurate...


However, in those gray incidences, what definitely helps is the kid's ability to justify and explain why interpretation the picture in that particular manner. By doing so, it shows the examiner that you have thought through your interpretation and also showcases your oratorical skills at the same time. At the same time though, it might be useful to have kids learn that when it comes to race and ethnicity, if they are unsure about the ethnicity or right description of the traditional ethnic costume, don't commit! The kid might unwittingly offend the examiner. 🙂

They are selling cookies to raise fund for the charity. My son said the crying boy has lost his parents. He was holding a stick of food. The student saw him crying & gave him a ballon. Same picture might mean different things to different kids. Wonder how the examiner grade the kids.[/quote]

The boy was clearly not holding a stick of food as well... he wasn't? The girl was just giving him another balloon to replace that. :L[/quote]

eeeerrrrr......aren't we stressing ourselves up guessing what the pic should be?
think each of our dc will interpret it differently. We will also never know if dc got it right or wrong and neither can we dispute on it. I just ask DS what's the pic, what did he say .... and finally, how he felt about his own performance (on both days). Happy?? Satisfied?? Oral over, let him play for the day and get ready for next hurdle 😄[/quote]



Yup. Every child can have their own interpretation so long as they can support their observation with logic expression.
Oral is over, match on ... ...

mummy so kiasu:

[quote=\"tanjd\"]Today's English oral was pretty hard. :sad: Reading was okay. In the picture there's a lady buying fish balls on a stick, boy crying because his balloon burst and a student is giving another one to him. 😓 At the other side there's a man taking cookies after donating some money. Conversation was extremely easy! :cheeky: They asked about an event hosted by our school.At least it's the last oral examination in Primary School. :rahrah:

iamsostressed:
my son talked about how he did not do well for his exams last lear but i did not scold him, therefore he was relieved and happy. All a lie, when he did not do well, i scolded him very badly. Btw his question was what made you happy.

Happy moment can be a wide topic. The kids can talk about birthday party, won a writing competition, visit to Disneyland or Universal Studio. Maybe today topic is easier for him - school activity. Not all kid's remember their happy moments or they might take these moments for granted.

As the picture consist of some charity drive..my DS had came up with only 1 idea...he said that school had hosted a charity drive :slapshead: Not sure if the examiners might think he has ran out of ideas..

It is to prevent us from using ideas in the picture!!! We shouldn’t actually blame them instead of sulking that our efforts gone to waste. I am a student myself and I feel that the questions still have a relationship there but it is mostly unpredictable. No one can be a 100% sure what the questions are.

However hard it may be, we must still be prepared to change strategies in the crux of the situation and expose ourselves to a wide variety of topics. I wish you and/or your kids all the best for tomorrow

the oral conversation for english oral. When is her happy moments... and she mentioned about her visit to universal studio...lol... for chinese oral conversation.. about the school rules.


Actually my dd say that the conversation can use 1/3 of all the ideas. The feelings are either angry/sad/happy. Mostly nothing else

did the examiner prompt u abt other than places of interest, when u r happy with yr friend?

Never post anything in Kiasu parents before. Started to read this thread yesterday at the 11th hr. Sigh. What to do, a working mom don't have all the time in the world...

My son told me the picture looks like a kindergarten school setting - and yes, it was about story telling. The conversation part, he says the happiest time he had was when he was in P3 when he received his SA2 results as he did very well....Oh mine, what a stressed up kid. Oral also talk about exam! 😞
