Primary 3 English Quiz - Oral: Answer Key
Answer 1.
B. "Wait for me!" he shouted. Marking note: This line is shouted, so it needs a loud, excited voice. The other lines are calm narration or quiet speech.
Answer 2.
The comma ( , ). Marking note: A comma signals a short pause between "He ran over" and "breathing hard".
Answer 3.
A. Rise upwards. Marking note: Yes/No and information questions end with a rising intonation so the listener knows a question is being asked.
Answer 4.
It should become louder and more excited, like really calling out to someone far away. Marking note: Accept any answer showing louder, stronger, more urgent voice for shouted speech.
Answer 5.
(i) Break the long word into smaller parts and sound them out slowly. (ii) Read on to the end of the sentence for clues, then go back and try the word again. (Accept any two sensible strategies, e.g. sounding out letter by letter, asking a teacher afterwards.)
Answer 6.
Any three of: a queue of six people at the Chicken Rice stall; a girl carrying a tray with two bowls; a spilled drink on the floor near a boy; a cleaner mopping nearby; a clock showing 12:30; a "Lunch Time Special" banner; an uncle in a white apron serving food. Marking note: Award 2 marks for three correct observations; award 1 mark for two correct observations.
Answer 7.
Example: "A girl is carrying a tray of food." / "An uncle is serving food at the stall." Marking note: Must use is/are plus an "-ing" word and match a person actually shown in the picture.
Answer 8.
Example: "The boy might slip on the spilled drink because it is spreading right beside his feet." Marking note: Prediction must be sensible and the reason must link to a clue in the picture. Both parts needed for full marks.
Answer 9.
It is lunchtime (the clock shows 12:30) and there is a "Lunch Time Special" banner, so many people came to buy food. Marking note: Pupils must use at least one picture clue (clock time or banner) in the explanation.
Answer 10.
Example: "This scene takes place in a crowded hawker centre at lunchtime." Marking note: Sentence must state WHERE (hawker centre) and WHEN (lunchtime / 12:30). One mark each.
Answer 11.
B. "Yes, I would like to attend because..." Marking note: A good conversation answer starts clearly and directly, then gives a reason.
Answer 12.
Example: "I think the Obstacle Course looks the most fun because I love climbing and crawling. I also enjoy racing against my friends." Marking note: Two sentences required; the reason must explain why the chosen activity is fun. Deduct if only one sentence or no reason.
Answer 13.
(a) and (b) — when and where the event happened, and what you did there and how you felt. Marking note: These two details make a personal recount complete; ticket prices and classmate names are not needed.
Answer 14.
Example: "I will run carefully, watch where I am going, and listen to the teachers' instructions." Marking note: Accept one sensible safety idea, e.g. keep to my lane, tie my shoelaces, drink water and rest if tired.
Answer 15.
Example: "Thank you too!" said with a smile and a friendly, polite voice. Marking note: Both parts needed — the polite reply AND how to deliver it (smiling face, warm/clear voice).
Answer 16.
B. Looking at the examiner most of the time. Marking note: Good eye contact means looking at the person naturally, not staring or avoiding them.
Answer 17.
clearly Marking note: Accept "clearly" or "clearly and correctly"; the key idea is pronouncing every word properly.
Answer 18.
C. "I'm sorry, could you please repeat that?" Marking note: Polite request language is expected in oral exams; short rude forms like "What?" are wrong.
Answer 19.
Example: Pausing to think helps me organise my ideas so my answer makes sense. Marking note: Accept any one sensible reason, e.g. calms nerves, helps choose the right words.
Answer 20.
Example: Stay calm, correct the word if I can, and continue reading confidently without stopping. Marking note: Accept any one sensible action, e.g. go back and re-read the word, carry on without panicking.
