🎤 Oral, Listening & Quiz
Paper 3 (Listening Comprehension) is worth 20 marks (10%) and Paper 4 (Oral Communication) is worth 30 marks (15%). Together, they make up 25% of your total PSLE English grade — that is 50 marks!
Many students spend all their revision time on Paper 1 and Paper 2, forgetting that Oral and Listening are among the easiest components to improve with regular practice. Unlike written papers, these components test your ability to speak clearly, listen carefully, and respond thoughtfully. The good news? You can practise these skills every single day, even while commuting to school or chatting with your family at dinner.
🗣️Paper 4: Oral Communication Overview
The Oral examination has two parts: Reading Aloud (10 marks) and Stimulus-Based Conversation (20 marks). You will be given 10 minutes of preparation time to read through the passage and look at the visual stimulus before the examination begins. The actual oral exam takes about 10 minutes per candidate.
Oral Exam Format at a Glance
Reading Aloud (10 marks)
Read a passage of about 150-200 words clearly and expressively. Assessed on pronunciation, fluency, pace, and expression.
Stimulus-Based Conversation (20 marks)
Discuss a visual stimulus (poster, advertisement, photograph, or infographic) with the examiner. You will be asked personal questions related to the theme. Assessed on content, clarity, and language.
10-Minute Preparation
Use this time wisely to rehearse reading the passage and brainstorm ideas for the conversation.
🎤Reading Aloud: Tips & Techniques
Reading Aloud is worth 10 marks. The examiners assess you on four criteria: pronunciation (can you say each word correctly?), fluency (do you read smoothly without stumbling?), pace (do you read at a natural speed?), and expression (does your voice match the mood of the passage?). Here are all 8 expert tips:
Read at a natural, steady pace — not too fast and not too slow. Imagine you are reading a story to a younger sibling. Rushing makes you sound nervous and causes you to skip words.
Pause briefly at commas and slightly longer at full stops. This helps the listener follow your reading and shows you understand the punctuation. A pause at a question mark should be accompanied by a rising tone.
Use expression to match the mood of the passage. If the passage describes an exciting event, let your voice sound lively and animated. If it describes a sad moment, slow down and soften your tone.
Pronounce every word clearly — do not mumble or swallow your words. Pay special attention to word endings like "-ed", "-s", "-ing", and "-tion". For example, say "walk-ED" clearly, not "walk".
Look out for difficult or unfamiliar words during your preparation time. Sound them out syllable by syllable. Common tricky words include "comfortable" (KUMF-tuh-buhl), "vegetable" (VEJ-tuh-buhl), and "February" (FEB-roo-air-ee).
Stress the important words in each sentence — usually nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Unstressed words like "the", "a", "is", and "to" should be said more lightly and quickly.
Make sure you read ALL the words — do not skip, add, or change any words. If you make a mistake, go back and read the word correctly without panicking. The examiners will notice self-correction positively.
Use the 10-minute preparation time wisely. Read the passage silently at least 3 times. Mark difficult words, natural pauses, and places where you need to change your tone or expression.
⚠️Common Pronunciation Mistakes for Singapore Students
Singapore students often make specific pronunciation errors because of our multilingual environment. Being aware of these can help you avoid losing marks during the Reading Aloud component.

📖Practice Passage with Reading Annotations
Here is a sample passage similar to what you might encounter in the PSLE Oral exam. Notice the annotations that show you where to pause, stress words, and change your expression.
Sample Passage: The Night Market
The pasar malam (PAUSE) was a riot of colours (SLOW DOWN) and sounds. (PAUSE) Rows of stalls lined both sides of the narrow lane, (PAUSE) each one glowing under strings of yellow light bulbs (EXPRESSION: wonder) that swayed gently in the evening breeze.
(STRESS) The most popular stall (PAUSE) was the one selling freshly fried goreng pisang. (PAUSE) A long queue of customers (SLOW DOWN) snaked all the way past the toy stall (PAUSE) and around the corner. (EXPRESSION: excitement) Children tugged at their parents' hands, (PAUSE) pointing eagerly at the golden bananas sizzling in the large wok.
(CHANGE TONE: thoughtful) For many Singaporeans, (PAUSE) the pasar malam is more than just a place to shop. (PAUSE, then STRESS) It is a cherished tradition (SLOW DOWN) that brings communities together (PAUSE) and reminds us of simpler times.
When reading aloud, what should you do when you encounter a comma?
💬Stimulus-Based Conversation: How to Score High
The Stimulus-Based Conversation is worth 20 marks — the biggest single component in the Oral exam. You will be shown a visual stimulus such as a poster, photograph, advertisement, or infographic, and the examiner will ask you questions about it. The conversation then moves to broader topics related to the theme.
How to Approach the Conversation
Observe
During prep time, study the stimulus carefully. Note what it shows: people, actions, setting, text, emotions. Think about the theme or message behind it.
Connect
Think about how the stimulus relates to YOUR life. Prepare personal examples: "In my school...", "My family...", "I once experienced..."
Elaborate
Never give one-word answers. Use the PEE structure: Point (state your view), Explain (give a reason), Example (share a personal story).
Extend
Link your answers to bigger themes. If asked about keeping fit, mention community programmes, school activities, or national initiatives like ActiveSG.
Speak Clearly
Use proper English, not Singlish. Avoid fillers like "erm" and "like". Maintain eye contact and speak at a comfortable volume.
Look at the visual stimulus carefully during your preparation time. Think about what the picture shows, what the people might be doing or feeling, and how it connects to your own life and experiences.
Always elaborate on your answers — do not just say "Yes" or "No". Give reasons, explanations, and details. For example, instead of "Yes, I like sports," say "Yes, I enjoy playing badminton because it keeps me fit and I get to spend time with my friends."
Use personal examples to support your points. The examiner wants to hear about YOUR experiences. For example: "In my school, we have a recycling programme where each class takes turns to collect recyclable materials every Friday."
Speak in full, grammatically correct sentences. Avoid Singlish, slang, and fillers like "erm", "like", and "you know". Take a moment to think before you answer rather than filling the silence with "um" and "ah".
Share your opinions confidently, even if you think the examiner might disagree. There is no "wrong" answer in a conversation. What matters is that you can explain and justify your viewpoint clearly.
If you do not understand a question, politely ask the examiner to repeat or rephrase it: "I'm sorry, could you please repeat the question?" This is perfectly acceptable and shows good communication skills.
Try to connect your answers to bigger themes or real-life situations in Singapore. For example, if asked about keeping fit, mention local parks, community sports events, or the ActiveSG programme.
Maintain good eye contact with the examiner and speak at a comfortable volume. Do not look down at the table the entire time. Treat it like a friendly conversation with a teacher, not a test.
🖼️Sample Stimulus & Model Responses
Below are sample stimulus scenarios with model responses to show you what a high-scoring conversation looks like. Study the structure and language used.
Stimulus: A poster advertising a school clean-up campaign
The poster shows students picking up litter in the school compound. The tagline reads: "Keep Our School Clean — It Starts With You!"
Examiner: What do you see in this poster?
Model: The poster shows a group of students working together to clean up their school. Some students are picking up litter while others are sweeping the corridor. The tagline "Keep Our School Clean — It Starts With You" suggests that everyone has a responsibility to keep the school environment tidy. I think the purpose of this poster is to encourage students to take ownership of their school's cleanliness.
Examiner: Does your school do anything to keep the environment clean?
Model: Yes, my school has several programmes to keep our environment clean. Every Friday, each class takes turns to do a "clean-up duty" where we wipe our desks, sweep the floor, and make sure there is no litter under our tables. We also have a recycling corner in every classroom where we separate paper, plastic, and cans. I think these activities teach us to be responsible and to take care of our surroundings. Personally, I always make sure I throw my food wrappers into the dustbin after recess because I believe that small actions can make a big difference.
Stimulus: A photograph of children playing at a playground
The photograph shows children of different ages playing on swings, slides, and climbing structures at an HDB playground.
Examiner: Do you think outdoor play is important for children? Why?
Model: I definitely think outdoor play is very important for children. Firstly, it helps us stay physically active and healthy. When I play at the playground near my block, I climb the monkey bars and run around with my friends, which keeps me fit. Secondly, outdoor play teaches us important social skills like taking turns, sharing, and resolving disagreements. For example, when we play football at the void deck, we learn to work as a team and communicate with each other. Lastly, outdoor play gives us a break from screen time. Many children today spend too much time on their iPads and phones, so playing outside is a good way to balance our activities.
Stimulus: An infographic about reducing food waste
The infographic shows that Singapore produces 763,000 tonnes of food waste per year. It suggests tips like planning meals, using leftovers creatively, and composting.
Examiner: Why do you think food waste is a problem in Singapore?
Model: Food waste is a significant problem in Singapore for several reasons. Firstly, Singapore is a small country with limited land, so the food waste we produce takes up valuable space in our only landfill, Semakau Landfill, which is expected to run out of space by 2035. Secondly, wasting food is also wasting the resources used to grow, transport, and cook that food, including water and energy. In my family, my mother always reminds us to take only what we can finish during meals. I think this is a good habit because even small actions, when everyone does them, can reduce the overall amount of food waste significantly.
Examiner: What can students do to reduce food waste?
Model: I believe students can play an important role in reducing food waste. First, we can order only what we can finish during recess. In my school, I often see classmates throwing away half-eaten plates of rice, which is very wasteful. Second, we can bring our own lunchboxes with portions we know we can finish, instead of buying too much from the canteen. Third, we can participate in school campaigns about food waste awareness. For example, my school organised a "Zero Food Waste Week" where we tracked how much food each class threw away and gave a prize to the class with the least waste. It was very effective because it made everyone more conscious about their eating habits.
Stimulus: A photograph of an elderly person sitting alone at a hawker centre
An elderly man is eating alone at a hawker centre. Other tables around him are full of families and friends chatting and laughing.
Examiner: What do you notice about this photograph?
Model: In this photograph, I notice an elderly man eating by himself at a hawker centre. He looks quite lonely compared to the other people around him, who are sitting in groups and enjoying their meals together. This makes me think about how some elderly people in Singapore may feel isolated, especially if they live alone or if their children are busy with work. The contrast between the man eating alone and the happy groups around him really stands out and makes me feel a sense of sadness.
Examiner: What can young people do to help elderly people in the community?
Model: I think young people can help elderly people in many ways. Firstly, we can simply spend time with them — visit our grandparents regularly, talk to them, and listen to their stories. My family visits my grandmother every Sunday, and I can see how happy she is when we are there. Secondly, students can volunteer at senior activity centres where we can organise activities like art sessions or help elderly people use technology like smartphones. In my CCA, we once visited an old folks' home and taught the residents how to use video calls to talk to their families abroad. Many of them were so grateful that they cried. Lastly, even simple gestures like offering your seat on the MRT or helping an elderly person carry heavy bags can brighten their day. It is important for young people to show respect and care for our elders because they have contributed so much to our society.

Preparation Time Strategy (10 Minutes)
Minutes 1-4: Read the passage silently 3 times. Mark difficult words, natural pauses, and places to change your expression.
Minutes 5-7: Study the visual stimulus. Identify what it shows, its purpose, and its theme.
Minutes 8-10: Brainstorm 3-4 personal examples or experiences related to the stimulus theme. Think about what questions the examiner might ask.
🎧Paper 3: Listening Comprehension
Paper 3 tests your ability to understand spoken English. You will listen to a variety of audio texts including conversations, announcements, narratives, and information reports. The audio is played twice, and you answer multiple-choice and short-answer questions. This paper is worth 20 marks (10%) and lasts about 35 minutes.
Types of Listening Questions
Factual / Literal Questions
Ask about specific details: who, what, when, where. Example: "What time does the library close?"
Inferential Questions
Ask you to read between the lines: why, how did someone feel. Example: "Why was the woman annoyed?"
Sequence / Process Questions
Ask about the order of events or steps. Example: "What did John do first?"
Main Idea / Gist Questions
Ask about the overall topic or purpose. Example: "What is the announcement about?"
Before, During & After Listening
Before
Before the audio plays, read ALL the questions and answer options quickly. This tells you what information to listen for and helps you focus on the important details.
Before
Listen for key information: names, numbers, dates, times, locations, and reasons. These are the details that questions are usually based on. Jot them down on the question paper if needed.
During
Pay attention to signal words that introduce important information: "The main reason is...", "Most importantly...", "However...", "On the other hand...", "In conclusion...".
During
The audio is played TWICE. During the first listening, try to get a general understanding and answer the questions you are confident about. During the second listening, check your answers and fill in the ones you missed.
During
Be careful with distractors — the audio may mention multiple options, but only one is the correct answer. Listen for words like "actually", "but", "however", and "in fact", which often introduce the correct information after a distractor.
After
For questions about feelings and attitudes, listen to the speaker's tone of voice, not just the words. A sarcastic tone or hesitation can change the meaning completely.
After
If you miss an answer, do not panic — move on to the next question. You will hear the passage again. Worrying about a missed answer can cause you to miss the next one too.
After
For short-answer questions, write just enough to answer the question correctly. You do not need full sentences unless the question asks for them. Check your spelling — marks can be deducted for spelling errors in short-answer responses.
🎯Handling Distractors in Listening
One of the trickiest parts of Listening Comprehension is dealing with distractors. The audio will often mention multiple options or pieces of information, but only one is the correct answer. Here is how to spot and avoid distractors:
Signal Words That Introduce Corrections
Listen for words like "actually", "but", "however", "in fact", and "on second thought". These words often introduce the CORRECT information after a distractor.
Example: "I was thinking of going to the library, but actually, I decided to go to the park instead." The answer is "the park", not "the library".
Negation Traps
Be careful with negative statements. "I did not go to the zoo" means the answer is NOT the zoo, even though "zoo" was mentioned.
Changed Plans
Speakers sometimes change their minds mid-conversation. Always listen for the final decision, not the initial suggestion.
Example: "Let us meet at 3 pm... wait, I have tuition at 3. Can we make it 4 pm instead?" The answer is 4 pm.
In a listening passage, you hear: 'The concert was supposed to be at 7 pm, but it has been postponed to 8 pm.' What time is the concert?
📝Note-Taking Tips for Listening
You are allowed to write on the question paper during the listening exam. Use this to your advantage by jotting down key details as you listen.
✅Good Note-Taking Habits
- Use abbreviations: num for numbers, w/ for with, b/c for because
- Circle or underline key words in the questions before listening
- Write numbers and names immediately when you hear them
- Cross out options you know are wrong
❌Avoid These Mistakes
- Writing too much — you will miss the next part of the audio
- Panicking if you miss an answer — wait for the second listening
- Choosing the first option you hear — it might be a distractor
- Leaving answers blank — always make your best guess
During the listening exam, what should you do BEFORE the audio starts playing?
You are not sure about one answer after the first listening. What should you do?
Oral & Listening Are Very Scorable!
Many students overlook Oral and Listening preparation, but together they are worth 50 marks (25%). That is more than Paper 1 Writing! Practise reading aloud for 10 minutes daily — read newspaper articles, storybooks, or your own compositions out loud. For Listening, train your ear by listening to English podcasts, news broadcasts, or audiobooks. For conversation, prepare talking points on common topics like family, school, hobbies, environment, technology, and community.
🎧Practice Listening Scenarios
While we cannot play audio here, you can practise with these written listening scenarios. Read the dialogue, then answer the questions. This trains the same skills — identifying key details, spotting distractors, and drawing inferences.
Scenario 1: School Announcement
"Good morning, students. This is your principal, Mrs Wong. I would like to remind everyone that our school Sports Day has been changed from this Friday, 15 March, to next Monday, 18 March, due to the weather forecast for heavy rain on Friday. Students who signed up for track events should report to the school hall at 7.30 am on Monday — not the field. Parents who wish to attend should enter through Gate B, not the main gate, as Gate A will be closed for renovation works. Please bring your water bottles and wear your house t-shirts. Thank you."
Q1: When is Sports Day now?
Monday, 18 March (NOT Friday — that was the original date, a distractor)
Q2: Where should track athletes report?
The school hall (NOT the field — the field is the usual location but the announcement says hall)
Q3: Which gate should parents use?
Gate B (Gate A is closed for renovation — another distractor if you pick the first gate mentioned)
Scenario 2: Conversation Between Friends
Sarah: Hey, did you see the notice? The school librarian needs student volunteers for the book fair next Thursday.
Tom: I was thinking of signing up, but I have my piano lesson on Thursday afternoon.
Sarah: Actually, the book fair is in the morning, from 8 am to 12 pm. You could volunteer and still make it to your piano lesson.
Tom: Really? I'll definitely sign up then. Where do we register?
Sarah: You can sign up with Mrs Chan at the library counter, or fill in the online form.
Tom: I'll go to the library during recess. I prefer doing it in person.
Q1: When is the book fair?
Next Thursday morning, 8 am to 12 pm.
Q2: Why was Tom initially hesitant?
He thought it would clash with his Thursday afternoon piano lesson.
Q3: How does Tom plan to sign up?
At the library counter with Mrs Chan (NOT online — Sarah mentioned online but Tom prefers in person)
Scenario 3: Information Report
"The National Library Board has announced a new programme called 'Read and Reap' to encourage young Singaporeans to develop a reading habit. Students aged 7 to 12 who borrow and read at least 4 books per month from any public library will earn points exchangeable for prizes including stationery sets, book vouchers, and tickets to educational shows. Originally starting in March, the programme has been pushed back to April to allow more time for registration. Students can register through the NLB mobile app or at any library branch. The programme runs from April to December 2026."
Q1: How many books per month?
At least 4 books per month.
Q2: When does it start?
April (NOT March — March was original date, pushed back. Listen for "pushed back to April".)
Q3: Name two prizes available.
Any two: stationery sets, book vouchers, tickets to educational shows.
In a listening scenario, you hear: 'Let us meet at the food court. Wait, actually, let us go to the library instead.' Where should you meet?
