課堂頻次：每週一堂

【重要資訊】香港Band 1中學，尤其是“傳統名校”，收生面試設有：英文面試環節＋中文面試環節。由於中文是多數香港學生的母語，所以在中文面試環節，所設問題往往較為“刁鑽”，不再是小學校本知識，而是要求學生對特定話題(例如中華文化、宗教、社會議題、時事等)的認識，不僅要有廣度，也要有一定的深度；同時也會重點考察學生在這些議題上的分析、思辨及應對能力。

所以，有志升讀“傳統名校”的同學，需要了解升中中文面試並不是“準備幾條問題嘅答案”就可了事，而是需要給自己多些機會及時間，重點訓練自己在特定話題(例如中華文化、宗教、社會議題、時事等)的分析、思辨及應對能力。訓練多了，不僅能幫助自己在面試時更沉著面對各種“突如其來”的“奇特”問題，更能對自己在將來學習上，應用這些分析、思辨和應對能力時大有裨益!

【課堂內容編排】

課堂將會在每週固定時間輪流安排下列三個部分：

第一部分：基礎問答（如：自我介紹、報讀學校原因、個人喜好、個人見解、對各類特定問題的應對及回答）

第二部分：針對特定話題，表達個人見解（例如：中華文化、宗教文化、社會議題、時事話題）

第三部分：小組討論（高階思維題目，考查學生的分析、思辨與應對能力，題目如：你認為香港人適合田家的休閒生活嗎？）

Background, recommendations and objectives

👉 Key notes: The DSE English Speaking exam encompasses a very wide array of topics, and it is difficult for students to prepare for it in a short period of time. Moreover, the English speaking proficiency is the Achilles heel of Hong Kong students (including many elite students). Students get only one shot in the DSE exam. In order to achieve the 5** grade or at least "not to lose", the following two aspects are indispensable:

(1) Give yourself enough time to truly improve your English speaking proficiency

(2) familiarize yourself with the exam-taking skills for the grade of 5**

Many students are often misled that they can 'win' in the examination just counting on the 'exam skills' when they are sprinting in the final year of Secondary 6.  This is deceiving yourself and joking about your future for that:

(a) Secondary 6 students have to prepare for multiple subject examinations at the same time, and it is bearly possible to allocate too much time to English subject;

(b) When students are faced with a topic that is hard to understand, or their vocabulary level of the related topic is seriously insufficient, how can they rely on the so-called "exam skills" to pass the exam ?!  Unless you deem the examiner just a decoration.

👉 Recommendation: Students need to really improve their English proficiency while they still have time in Secondary 3, 4 and 5.

👉 Goal: To help students achieve the abilities and skills required for DSE 5** at an early stage.

Click to expand the introduction 🎓 Topic Vocabulary & Sentences Boosting Class (Secondary School)

📍 Students' Headaches
When students promote to higher grade, their English proficiency becomes weaker and weaker, and they find more and more difficult to catch up with the learning progress. Students have been struggling to enroll in different English language classes, but the results have never been satisfactory.

The reason is that students' vocabulary foundation is so weak that they fall behind too much, which directly affects their reading, writing, grammar, speaking and English listening proficiency. If the vocabulary proficiency is not strengthened as soon as possible and with full force, learning in other areas will be largely restricted. For example, when a student reads an article and does not know a lot of words, it will not be effective to learn other skills.

🎯 Objective

The purpose of this class is to swiftly help students build up their vocabulary foundation associated with various topics, as well as to help them master topic-related sentence expressions, so that they can have the foundation for further improvement in writing, speaking and reading!

Native English Speaking Teachers Zoom class
🎯 Teach students key words and sentences in the most plain English
🎯 Teach pronunciation, topic-related sentence expression and reading aloud
🎯 Class notes are provided with Chinese auxiliary explanations to ensure that students can fully understand and absorb the class content.
