3. Some tips for the oral.

• - When you are given the time to look at the picture (before the tester calls you), think of the possible questions that the tester may ask you. DO NOT WASTE TIME.

For example: A picture on places of interest in Singapore
Possible questions: Which one is your favourite place? Why or Why not?
                                What other place of interest have you visited? Tell me about it

• - Remember the Answer Reason Experience.

     >(ANSWER). Refrain from just answering Yes or No. Answer in full sentence.
        For example: "My favourite place is the Underwater World"

     > (REASON)It will be good if you can state more than one reason.
        For example: "I love to go to the Underwater World because .... I enjoyed coming here also   
        because......"
      ** If you are lack of ideas on what to say, begin by saying about your feelings. I love it because I
           felt very happy and excited...... (Then slowly, you build up your ideas based on what you see, hear, touch, smell depending on the topic)
    > (EXPERIENCE). You may begin with these sentence starters to help you.
        " I remembered few years ago..."
        " When I was in Primary 1, ...."

•  - To lengthen the conversation, remember not to just talk about one picture. It would be great if you reason out why you do not choose the other pictures. For example (if Night Safari is one of the pictures): " I do not like to go to the Night Safari because I am scared of darkness...

•  - End off your conversation with the question asked. For example: "Among all the places, my favourite place would be ....."

I hope these tips are useful for you. All the best dearies!
