CL Day 2
Picture Discussion: Old Folks' Home
Conversation: Tell me about a lesson learnt
Some parents commented in the Kiasuparents forum that children cried while leaving the examination room after their Chinese Oral Examination. I am not sure if it is true but here's some food for thought:
For the PSLE English Oral Examination, it's true that the topics are not the usual ones that the kiddos expect. Based on past year trends, the topics are usually more related to the picture discussion. Hence pupils were slightly caught off guard.
However, most of my tutees were able to think on their feet and applied the strategies taught to initiate and introduce ideas related to the conversation topic. I was impressed when some of them related what they had said during the examination. I am proud of them.
If a topic is unexpected, the child should still be able to apply the strategies and techniques taught to elaborate on the topic and engage the examiners.
