Problem for my DD also, EL oral speech contest is not a common topic. I think most 12-years old seldom have interests to hear speeches if never involves in speech & drama or debates activities

Mine has never attended an open house. So the topic yesterday was not something that she can relate to.

Those open houses in April/May are usually held by the TOP schools. Unless the kids are all of the RI/HCI/RGS/DHS (mostly IP schools) callibre, the majority of the PSLE kids would not have attended an open house yet. The regular secondary schools typically hold their open houses in November, just before the release of the PSLE results or the weekend after it.

understand your point. cos have heard many of my boys classmates attend open house. and in fact there are also children attending open houses when they are p5 last yr as recommended by parents. there are also secondary sch coming to my boy sch to give talk on their sch. so tt why my opinion open house can be a easier topic esp also is the stage they are going thru soon in selecting a sec sch.
anyway the oral is over so let just hope for the best for the upcoming papers! haha

my son had chinese ytd and eng today. anyway is my personal opinion that today’s topic is easier.

dif child has dif exposure.
so just hope for the best for their upcoming psle papers in sep!
jiayou all parents!

as i mentioned i felt both eng n chinese oral for day 2 is tougher.

for eng, day 1 open house is a common event that most kid would have probably experience. but day 2, speech contest, there is nothing much to elaborate. the child must be quick enough to think of personal experience to say more which how many child have such experiences?

for chinese, library was also one of the test topic in psle 2015 i think. is in the psle booklet. is also about library. moreover, in all the oral practices assessment, library is definitely one of the practice topic. even my p2 practises this topic for his oral. day 1 topic learning from friends is not so straightforward.

For both english and chinese is much more difficult than ytd. chinese was in library abiding the rules which is a common topic that can be found in any oral practice book.


wonder why moe is so unfair. my boy damn suay.
