Chinese oral practice questions: 16 会话 sets, with a timer
Each set is a scene and three questions in Chinese, each with its English meaning. Run the 10-minute preparation timer, then answer the questions aloud one at a time, recording yourself if you want to listen back. 会话 is 40 of the oral’s 50 marks.
These are our practice questions, not past papers or predictions. For what candidates have reported from real sittings, see the O-Level Chinese oral topics page.
社区与邻里 · Community and neighbours
The scene
中秋节晚上，组屋楼下的居民一起提灯笼、吃月饼。几位年长的居民教孩子们猜灯谜。
On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, residents gather under their HDB block with lanterns and mooncakes. Some older residents teach the children to solve lantern riddles.
In the exam this is a video clip (录像短片) you may watch more than once while you prepare. Here it is written down.
Start the timer for the full 10 minutes of preparation, as in the exam. Note two or three ideas per question, not full sentences.

How do these sets match the real 会话?
They copy its shape, not its content. In the exam you get 10 minutes to prepare, during which you may read the 朗读短文 passage and watch the video clip more than once. The oral then has two parts: reading the passage aloud, and the conversation about the clip.
考生针对所提供的录像短片，以及主考员的提问，跟主考员进行一段对话。
考生在限定的时间内，可以多次默读短文和观看录像短片。
SEAB does not say how many questions the examiner asks. Two 2025 clips were recalled as a run of three questions each, moving from a personal response, to a suggestion or a reflection, to a view on society. That is what candidates remembered, not a rule SEAB publishes, and our sets follow the same pattern. This page does not practise the 朗读短文 (10 marks), which has its own reading-aloud page.

The five kinds of question (our labels, not SEAB's)
We sort 会话 questions into five kinds: 描述、经历、看法、建议、假设. SEAB publishes no list like this; it is the working set we use to practise.
| Kind | What it asks | How it often starts |
|---|---|---|
| 描述 | Describe what the clip shows | 请说说录像中发生了什么事。 |
| 经历 | Tell a real experience of your own | 你有没有遇到过……？请说一说。 |
| 看法 | Give and defend a view | 有人认为……，你同意吗？为什么？ |
| 建议 | Suggest what should be done | 你认为我们应该怎样做……？ |
| 假设 | Say what you would do if… | 如果你是录像中的……，你会怎么做？ |
More on each kind, with worked answers, is in the guide to 会话 question types.
Can Secondary 1 and 2 students use these?
Yes, as practice for the national paper. There is no national Chinese oral in Secondary 1 or 2: the school sets its own, and SEAB publishes nothing about it, so check the format with the school.
More on what a lower-secondary oral is, and why there is no Sec 1 or Sec 2 topic list to find, is on the Secondary 1 and 2 oral page.
How to get the most out of a set (our advice)
Answer every question aloud, not in your head, and listen back. An answer that stops after one sentence is the commonest thing a recording shows you.
- View, reason, example. For a 看法 question, say what you think, why, and one example from your own life or from Singapore.
- Real experiences. A 经历 question goes further with one specific time and place than with a general statement.
- Check against the criteria. The marking page sets out the two 20-mark criteria for 会话.
This drill times you and, where your browser allows, records you so you can listen back. It does not mark anything.
Marked practice, with feedback on what you said, is being built and will be here in time for the 2027 oral season.
Common questions
- Are these past O-Level Chinese oral questions?
- No. Every set on this page was written by OralPrep for practice. SEAB publishes no past oral papers. What candidates have reported from real sittings is on our O-Level Chinese oral topics page, with how far to trust each row.
- How many questions are there in the O-Level Chinese 会话?
- SEAB does not say. The syllabus describes a conversation with the examiner about a video clip. Two 2025 clips were recalled as a run of three questions each, which is why each practice set here has three. That is recall, not a rule.
- Is there a Chinese oral in Secondary 1 or 2?
- Not a national one. A Secondary 1 or 2 oral is set by the school, which decides its format. These sets practise the shape of the national paper sat at the end of secondary school.
- Does this page mark my answer?
- No. It times you and lets you record yourself to listen back. It does not score, transcribe or judge anything, and the recording never leaves your device.
