PSLE ORAL

This post is in English because I am doing this on my husband's laptop (cannot input Chinese characters).

Just want to say: Jia You! Jia You! Jia You! But knowing me, you know I won't JUST say that. I always have a lot to say.

All of you KNOW what to do, now it's up to you to SHOW what you know. Please do not be overwhelmed by anxiety/stress/fear and let it affect your performance. Remember what I always say in class: Use your brain! But you can only do that if you are calm enough to do so. We often let our nerves get the better of us and stop thinking when it matters most! Only those who have prepared themselves well can face an exam calmly...

You must know the method, sequence and "standard phrases" of oral well. Then read up and familiarize yourself with the various scenerios. You cannot possibly memorize every single picture and every single situation, so when faced with any picture during the exam, your mind must be clear enough to THINK and use/adapt whatever you have prepared.

Take good care of yourselves...drink lots of water and rest well. Only then will you be in an excellent state of mind to THINK. If you don't prepare your physical body well, your mental capacities will also be compromised.

Lastly, take care of your own emotional well-being, and that of your friends. Please talk to someone if you are troubled by anything. Your problems may not be solved instantly, but you have to get it out of your system first so that you can prepare and sit for your exams. Please also look out for friends who may need a listening ear but are too afraid to approach anyone. The harder it is for these friends to open up, the harder we have to try to reach out to them. Let's support one another in our journey towards academic success.
