The Singapore PSLE (Primary School Leaving\nExamination) Chinese Oral Examination makes up 25% of the PSLE Chinese\nExamination score (100%). There are two parts of the Oral Exam: Passage reading\nand Conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n
Since 2017, the Singapore PSLE Mother\nTongue Examinations use an E-oral exam format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before stepping into the examination room,\nstudents are given 10 minutes to read the passage and prepare for their\nconversation, which is based on a 1-minute video, at a preparation station with\na laptop. During those 10 minutes, students may pause, fast-forward, or rewind\nthe video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 10 minutes, students will then\nproceed to the examination room. They will read the passage to the examiners\nfirst and then watch the video from start to finish once again before doing the\nconversation portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Passage reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Examiners give scores based on \u201caccuracy\u201d and \u201cfluency\u201d. Chinese\ncharacters used in the passage are all from Singapore Primary School textbooks.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Conversation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Examiners ask questions based on the video topic and the\nvideo itself, and students express their views and opinions accordingly.\nExaminers give scores based on the content. pronunciation, grammar, and\nfluency.<\/p>\n\n\n To secure a high mark on the oral exam,\nstudents need to know what types of questions the examiners would like to ask.\nWith this in the mind, students will be able to use their 10-min preparation\ntime more effectively and then have better conversations with the examiners\nlater.<\/p>\n\n\n Most of the time, the examiners ask questions regarding the\nvideo first. They would like to know how much of the video you understoond, including what happened in the video and what\nyou think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell me about an event related to \u201cbeing friendly\u201d that you\nsaw in the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you think the boy in the video is doing the right thing,\nwhy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this type of question, students could use the 5W1H\uff08What, When, Where, Who, Why, How\uff09technique to help them plan what they are going to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n The examiners also ask students to talk about relevant\npersonal experiences. It\u2019s better if the experience that the student shares is\nnot the same as what was shown in the video. Other than sharing a story,\nstudents need to make some comments including what they learned from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever been friendly to someone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever encountered someone being very friendly to\nyou?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this type of question, students can also use the 5W1H\ntechnic to help them plan what they are going to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, the examiners are interested in knowing how you\ncould further expand on the topic\/theme of the video by talking about society\n(school \/ family \/ community). <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there anything that parents\/the school can do to\nencourage their kids\/students to show friendliness to others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on previous exams, examiners ask students to give\nsuggestions from the school\u2019s perspective more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many students find it difficult to provide rich content while doing their conversations. Using the \u201cACT<\/strong>\u201d technique might help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat questions will the examiners ask (during the\nconversation)?<\/h2>\n\n\n
