Since Chinese is end for most of us, now its the come back of english !
English oral.
Have u all taken ?
Care to share what topic was the conversation talk , picture description , reading aloud topic was ?
Any ' Chim '( difficult ) Words that u cant pronouce ?
Any tips on how to describe the picture and how to have a super long and good conversation with the teacer on the question which enable u to have disctinction for oral ? or even a almost full mark for that ?
Good luck to all ! study hard

Don't talk about chim words. Get your pronunciation right first.
Words like father, mother, tree, three, photography, words ending with s, ed and t. -
true pronunciation is very important in oral, and of course full-stop , comma and study. Dont speak monotonous..
"Let speak loud with tone, we all.." -
Practise as well. Good luck!

English still got chim words meh? Remember to write in British English spelling or you can kiss your paper bye bye
-
I thought if you write in american english, it has to be american english throughout the whole paper. They won't mark you wrong spelling for that.Originally posted by Agenda:English still got chim words meh? Remember to write in British English spelling or you can kiss your paper bye bye -

-

must remember this two.
as well as commas,fullstop,?

i take on friday already...
picture is abt the scene of a airport got reporters and cameraman..
conversation they ask u to tok about a experience where u dont have confidence in urself and another experience where u have alot of confidence..and also ask u abt the advantages and disadvantages of being famous.. -
speak moderatly. approx: 3 words/sec. the chim words dont need to pronounce accurately also can(cos they are just there to distinguish A1 or A2 students)the most important is concentrate on your fluency.
describe in detail.. assume things so u can talk more until the 2 teachers very sian.eg. what might happen later or before. dont assume stuffs when they are obviously not. eg. if u see a boy and u tell the teachers that they look like girls. direct the teachers which portion of the pic u are talking about. eg. In the left corner.
Be confident. and positive thinking. -
Nope. It's not compulsory to write in British English. However, you need to standardize your spelling. Don't have some British spellings here, American spellings elsewhere in your essay. If you use British English, use British English all the way. Same for American English.Originally posted by Agenda:English still got chim words meh?

REMEMBER.
Pronounciation/articulation.
Use a bit of bombastic words for good measure; MAKE SURE they are relevant and NOT overly bombastic; whch can be extremely corny if you don't know how to use them.
Remember, DON'T fake an accent. It does not make you an A1. It only serves to show what a phoney you are. Besides, most Singaporeans can't do decent accents.
Don't be overly nervous; the examiners are not there to fail you. -

so what for today ?
-
i did mine today! it was so horigible
i stuttered throughout the passage and wasnt even reading smoothly at all. there were a lot of conjunctions like"he'd, it'd" and there were two words beginning with "th" consecutively. how do you do the "th" sound twice?
the picture is about this guy i think trying to be sir stanford raffles(someone please verify!) leading a group of students somewhere. the picture shows them walking on the road.
the conversation was not too bad but i screwed it up by making up facts. the worse thing is the examiner found out that i was making it up. damn. he told me to give an example of history helping me understand current affairs and i went to say that the war in the middle east was related to saddam hussein( which i think is wrong) and the kuwait war. i saw the examiner's eyebrow shoot up so high. so embarrassing! anyone took oral today as well?
the conversation is : what kind of lifestyle do you want to have when you are a bit older and is it good to learn about the past? -
Kids these days ought to read more of the news, and I don't mean Straits Times or CNA.
BBC World is there for a reason, and their pronounciation is still up to par. -
CNA is crap. Except Glenda Chong.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Kids these days ought to read more of the news, and I don't mean Straits Times or CNA.
