PSLE EXAM TIPS!
Hi students! Some last minute tips even though we have gone through these for the umpteenth time already.
1) Greet examiner with a smile and bow, recite your name and PSLE index number
Reading
- Pronounce your 'ed', 'th' CLEARLY!!!!
- WATCH OUT! When 'the' meets words with 'a,e,i,o,u'...it is pronounced as 'dee'. eg: the airport
Picture Description (USE PRESENT TENSE!)
1) This picture depicts/ shows a scene at.....
2) Describe generally the condition of the place. What time of the day? Why do you think so?
3) Describe the small points first. Include opinions/suggestions.
- Use perhaps, maybe, I think...,probably, In my opinion
4) Describe the main focus point of the picture! Include opinions/suggestions.
- Use perhaps, maybe, I think...,probably, In my opinion
5) Add a conclusion! Include a point to tie in with the picture
(eg: In conclusion, a library is a place where people could borrow books. It is also a conducive place for us to read. Therefore, we should not be speaking too loudly or even running around in the library as it may cause a disruption to other people. In fact, I think libraries in Singapore are very modernised and has a wide collection of books for public borrowing.
CONVERSATION
-Speak clearly
-Lengthen your responses.
-Each time a teacher prompts, you talk non-stop. In proper English of course!
-Think what they might ask while you are seated there waiting. It is definitely related to picture and reading text.
If you practice all these, you would definitely get a 7 or 8. GOOD LUCK!!!!
