Dear all,
Finally, we've reached the first of your PSLE papers! I really really hope you can all do your best in your oral exams! I feel very sad I can't be there with you guys tomorrow and day after to say 加油！ :(
Frankly speaking, as I sent the whole lot of you off this afternoon, I suddenly felt a part of me *gone*. I think as the PSLE goes by, with the passing months, more parts of me will be *gone* just like that too. Before we know it, it's time to say bye. Beginning to get a little nostalgic already. :(
Anyway, please remember the pointers I gave to you:
Reading:
1) Not too fast/ slow
2) Expression
3) End consonants + past tense markers
Picture Discussion (Present tense):
1) Introduce the setting (This picture shows a scene of...)
2) Talk about the main idea (it's usually some unpleasant thing happening in the scene).
Start from the character's actions/ unpleasant situation --> Character's feelings --> Reason why the character feels that way
3) Talk about the "Should nots" using personal opinion (In my opinion, he should not...)
4) Talk about the "Shoulds" (Instead he should....)
5) Conclude the picture (I think the government/ parents should... )

Conversation:
1) Use your personal experience as much as possible
2) Quote at least 2 examples of those experiences
3) Include personal opinion of those experiences
To summarise, ELABORATE (until we cannot ask WHY) and include PERSONAL OPINION.
On top of that, be loud and confident when you speak (treat the examiners like your friends)! Remember, the marks are yours to get!!
Have faith, people! All the best!
