EL Oral Exams

Hello 4F again!

Here's the topics that were tested during the Oral Exam today:

Reading:
An Exchange between 2 students about a sports match with some mention of gender inequality
Picture:
Students cheering along the sidelines of the field (during a Sports Meet or Sports Game)
Conversation:
-Students were asked to relate an incident that happened to them when they realised that they had done something wrong
- Sports: Gender Equality in Sports/ Whether people can be good in sports/ Why some people are better in sports than others

Please focus on issues that have not been tested yet:

These include:
Ageing Population
Citizenship
Family
Teenage Issues (BGR, Technology etc)
Also consider more serious issues like:
Corruption in Politics Eg:
Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian accused of corruption
M'sian Politics rears its ugly side/head when Anwar and PM Ahmad Badawi are now caught in a political quarrel that is read by millions across the world
Tourism (think IRs, Formula One Grand Prix (pronounced as "gron pree") that will coming to Singapore next month, Revamp the image of Sentosa etc)

To all taking their exams tomorrow- ALL THE BEST!! :)

Hello People,
Here's the lowdown of what was tested today:

Reading: Passage on teachers discussing education topics.
Picture: Students & Teacher participating in a Sci Experiment.
Conversation:
- Tell me about your favourite subject.
- Are some subjects more important than others?

Remember that today I told you people, Education will come out- voila!
Don't ask me if I have any hunches tomorrow- all is silent in my head.
I don't have a crystal ball either.

In any case, good luck in your preparation for your Oral Exams! :)

Go 4F'08!

EL Oral Consultations

Hi 4F students,

EL Oral Consultation will be held tomorrow in the 4F Classroom.
I would like students to come so that I can go through some last minute revision tips with everyone and share with you some common errors to avoid!
Attendance is compulsory for all students!

The EL Oral Consultation will take place from 10.30am-11.30am, 4F classroom.
Students who do not have exams tomorrow can feel free to come to school a little earlier tomorrow to seek assistance or one-on-one consultation from me.
Students who are under Ms Marie, you can also approach her tomorrow for some help after school hours.

Things to Do:
Read through the entire set of EL Oral Skills Conversation Notes given by me at the start of the year! There are many good pointers covered.

Although the Prelims have ended, I know that some of you want a mini breather- but please remember to take it only after your GCE 'O' level Orals Exams. Remember, that this coming Tues & Wed, it is the real deal and will seal the fate of 20% of your English grade. Your seniors mainly scored their distinctions through their EL Oral.

That said, All the best 4F for your EL Oral Examinations!!
