Tip 7: Describe the video

Hi, I’m Teacher Rosalind from Fun Language Learning. This is the seventh article of the 14 Secret Chinese Oral Strategies Revealed series brought to you by LearnSuperMart and Fun Language Learning.

The first question that examiners usually ask is , “What did you see in the video?”

How should you go about describing the video? 

第七天：形容录像内容

你好，我是 Fun Language Learning 的靖惠老师。我很荣幸能再次和 LearnSuperMart 合作，携手带给你为期十四天的《华文口试：机密攻略大公开》系列。

通常，考官问的第一道问题是：“你在录像/视频中看到什么？”

那你该怎么形容录像短片的内容呢？

你可以形容这些重点：

1)旁述中所出现的关键词：沉迷于手机

2)事情的发展

有些老师教学生用“六何法” （何人、何时、何地、何事、何为、如何）来阐述事情的发展。这是一个整理思绪的好方法。

你也可以跟着这样的顺序阐述录像的要点：

什么人？-> 在做什么？-> 发生什么事/问题？-> 别人的反应？（如果有的话）

当你说到一半卡住时，只要问你自己：“然后呢？”，你就会继续了。

3) 值得阐述的细节

这包括动作、感受、表情和年龄。

重点是说出录像里的人物在做什么，你不需要刻意去记人物的穿着以及和主题无关的细节。既然问题没问，你也不需要在这里加入个人意见。

Qn: 你在录像/视频中看到什么？What did you see in the video?

一开始，有一名男同学在老师讲课的时候低下头，偷偷用手机。他顾着滑手机，时不时抿嘴暗笑。他心不在焉，老师发问的时候，他并没有察觉老师在叫他，所以被训了一顿，手机还被老师没收了。

下课后，男同学取回了手机。回到家里，他和家人吃饭的时候还在滑手机，没参与家人的对话，饭也没吃几口。爸爸见状皱着眉头，要他交出手机。

Especially for parents who are at your wits' ends in helping your child with his Chinese Language Comprehension...

The latest change in examination format of the PSLE Chinese papers is well-intended but it has caught many students off guard. 

More often than not, they don’t know how to tackle comprehension questions and rely on their intuition, giving incomplete answers that result in an excessive loss of marks and a further dent in confidence.

Does your child really have to throw in the towel just like that?

Absolutely not.
