As you are getting jittery all over with the mock oral, here are some valuable pointers from me [a candidate and an examiner]:
- Hair must be neat [gel for boys, hairband/pins for girls
- Healthy good breath [mints]
- ICs in your pockets [During actual oral exam]
- Do not slouch at your seat
Reading [12 marks]
- Enunciate your words [open your mouth to read]
- Remember the consonants at the end of the word [particularly 't' 'ed' 's' 'k']
- Pace yourself well and put your eyes at least 2/3 words ahead of what you are reading
- Slow down at the end of sentences to ensure a smooth connection to the next line
- Vary your tone deliberately
- For boring passages, stress [slowing down or increase volume] significant words
Picture [12 marks]
- Questions you should automatically answer WITHOUT prompting
- General setting of picture and what is happening there
- Always use positional words [foreground, background]
- Focus on 2 prominent people and explore what they are thinking and feeling by refering to evidence
- Suggest what happened before/after the picture was taken
- Still speechless, suggest the purpose of the photo
Conversation [16 marks]
- Listen to to question and do a quick organization of thoughts
- Look examiners in the eye and communicate
Have a good time - cos examiners are interested to see if you can communicate confidently!
