Personal response

L4

Your ideas have real reasons and examples, and most answers reach an ending.

Clarity of expression

L4

A good range of words and varied sentences, with only a few slips.

Marked in about 5 minutes

Your child needs more oral practice than anyone has time to give.

Oral has no answer key, so someone has to listen to every answer and mark it. The practice stops with whoever has the time and expertise. With Playwrite, every answer your child records gets in-depth feedback instantly.

Q2 · Experience

Have you watched a live performance before? Tell me about it.

I had watched a live performance before.1 I remember a time when my friends and I got an opportunity to watch the National Day Rehearsal.2 We were very shocked to hear the news, but also glad that we had a chance to do so. When we reached the venue, we were stunned3 by the amount of people4 watching the show. We could not wait to watch the performance. During the performance, there were many exciting and entertaining shows such as the Red Lion dance performance and singing performance. We also got a chance to sing along with our National Day theme songs. After the performance, we did not feel like going home, but we had to do so. Even though we had to go home, we had a very enjoyable day.5

  1. Tense slip. "I have watched" for an experience up to now.
  2. A real experience, not just a yes. The rehearsal gives the story a clear focus.
  3. "Stunned" shows how surprised they felt.
  4. People can be counted: "the number of people".
  5. Ends on "enjoyable". Say what the day taught or changed.

Feedback

You described the performance vividly, especially when you said you were "stunned" by the crowd and sang along with the National Day theme songs. To improve, end with what the experience taught you, because depth stops after you say that you had an enjoyable day.

Revised answer

Yes, I have watched a live performance before. Last year in July, my friends and I got tickets to watch the National Day Rehearsal at the National Stadium. We were shocked but also very glad because we had never expected to get this opportunity.

When we reached the venue, we were stunned by the large crowd watching the show. We could not wait for the performance to begin. During the rehearsal, there were many exciting items, such as the Red Lions' performance and singing performances. My friends and I also sang along to the National Day theme songs, which made us feel included in the celebration.

After the performance, we did not feel like going home, but we had to. Even though the day ended, I still felt happy and proud. I learnt that watching a live performance is much more exciting when you can sing and celebrate together with a big crowd.

Personal response

L4

Your ideas have real reasons and examples, and most answers reach an ending.

Relevant details and clear endings. The second answer stops at "enjoyable"; add what the experience taught you.

Clarity of expression

L4

A good range of words and varied sentences, with only a few slips.

Linking words organise the ideas. One tense slip and "the amount of people" to fix.

Built for repetition, not a one-off attempt.
