Oral Tips

 Oral is one of those few 'killer' subjects in English and Chinese.
 So here are some tips here for oral.

English: Reading ALOUD ( 10 marks )

1. Greet the teacher properly before sitting down.
     Dress neatly.

2. When reading the passage, remember to pause at certain parts of a sentence.
    DO NOT READ THE SENTENCE IN ONE GO WITHOUT PAUSING unless you want negative marks and remarks from the tester. For commas, pause for about 1 to 2 seconds.
For full stops, pause for about 2 to 3 seconds. For a new paragraph, pause for 3 seconds.

3. When reading a dialogue, remember to use you voice to express the mood of the character saying the sentence. When you are reading through your passage for 5 minutes before the test, read the 'mood' of the character.
For example,
'Return me my pencil!' Timmy said angrily.' 
When you read this sentence, the word 'angrily' helps to express the mood of Timmy.
So when you are reading this sentence aloud, be sure to sound really angry!!!

4. Read each sentence fluently like pronouncing your 'k's, 'c's and 't's correctly.

English: Picture Discussion
