Sorry about that. 3) Unit 18 will not be tested for exam. 4) Events Participation Form is given. Pls hand in by Monday 23 Sep. A nil return is required. 5) Pls revise for English Oral starting from Monday 23 Sep to Wed 25 Sep. Revise Speak Well Package, going through all notes and practice exercises. Some details about the Oral Exam. -Pupils are expected to speak in complete sentences. -Pupils will be given some time to read and practise on their own before being tested by the examiner. They will be given a plastic folder with the reading passage on the front and the stimulus-based conversation on the flip side. No written prompts are given on the section with the stimulus -based conversation. The prompts will instead be asked by the examiner. Pupils are expected to practise reading the passage softly on their own during this time. They also have to use this time gainfully to guess/ predict the conversation prompts and try answering/ practising on their own. They can do this because 4 pictures will be shown on the page. A favourite question asked at this point would be "What is your favourite _____? and give reasons why you would pick the item. "(choice is based on the 4 pictures). The second part will be an exitension question on the same theme. Eg "Do you have the item with you at home now? Tell me how you use it." or "Have you watched that television programme before? Tell me about it." Pupils can just guess topics and questions and practise during this time. -Pupils should try to speak/read with expression and use the correct tense when speaking. - Pupils can also use the newspapers and magazines to practise their reading and stimulus-based conversation over the week-end. 6) Parent to sign P4C booklet. Do Pg 7 and 8. Do all corrections in blue. Booklet must be completed. If not, pls do. Pass up on Monday. 7) HE WB are returned for revision.
