Revision for Oral Exam

Hi everyone,

The students brought home their listening comprehension books to revise for the oral exam that will be conducted this Friday. I have explained to the class today about the way the exam will be conducted. Please make use of the reading passages and pictures provided in the book to prepare yourselves for the oral exam. Please refer to the oral checklist which I had given you when we were revising for oral during SA1. You can also refer to my earlier blog post about how you can do well for the oral exams, which was put up before SA1. I hope that you found the oral revision that I did with you in pairs in class last week useful as well.
