Anyone can share what are the topics for the past days Oral?

Current Sec 3 HCL students may want to keep record of this year’s O Level oral topics as it has been quite a common practice for schools to “recycle” the videos for use in following year’s WA/prelim.

Hello all, sorry if these questions have been answered before but I am having difficulties navigating this new KSP forum …appreciate if I can get some advice/clarification on HCL in IP school:

1. Is HCL only compulsory in SAP IP school as I heard that some non-SAP IP schools, e.g. TJC, offer both HCL and CL to their students?

2. Is it true that while a minimum score of D7 in HCL at O-level will exempt students from H1 Chinese at A-level, this is only applicable to non-SAP schools? Heard that some SAP IP schools such as NYGH/DHS require students to score a B4 or better in HCL in order to opt out of H1 Chinese.

Thanks much in advance!

Not sure about other SAP colleges, For HCI college, to get exemption from H1 Chinese , O level students need at least a C6, IP students need at least B4 (or B3?), in O level HCL grade.

My children were from non IP SAP secondary schools. All of them require to attempt HCL from secondary 1. I know another non IP SAP secondary school does not require all students to attempt HCL. so best is to email the school to check

@bbbay i see. Thanks so much for sharing! So, it is true that SAP IP schools hold their IP students to a higher bar in HCL, compared to students they admit via JAE.

I also heard that for non-SAP IP schools, students just need to obtain a pass for O level HCL and they can opt out of H1 Chinese in Yr 5/6.

You’re right that every school seems to have different requirements for this (wonder if MOE has issued any guidelines), will find out more directly from DC’s preferred sec schools!

May i know whether cyber bullying may be translated as 网络霸凌？Official term in the oral handbook is stated as 网络欺凌, so i’m wondering whether 霸 conveys a physical violence act instead.

[chenlaoshi]

@zac-s-mum Yes, both terms can be used to express cyber bullying.

For example, both our local print and broadcast media uses 网络霸凌:

Just don’t direct translate from English and use 网络欺负.
