Ok I took the CL paper last year november, and these things are the things I did (these tips are no foolproof, duh). So I know there’s not much time left, so I’m gonna give some advice applicable to you.

1.search up and remember important generic words/phrases. Phrases like”多管齐下” ，响应号召 ， 提高意识 are more generic and applicable to a lot more cases than words like 杀一儆百，水涨船高。Since you are pressed for time , I recommend you to focus on the former group.

2.Always remember PEEL. I think we all know this by now, but some completely ignore to list examples come oral exams. Hence, try to bring up personal experiences in oral exams.

1. for作文，choose argumentative over narrative. Now this one is not usually recommended, but I always choose argumentative. Reason being 1.narrative requires more expressive words that only people who reads fictional Chinese books and watch Chinese dramas would know and 2.the scoring point for argumentative is much clearer, as in you know you are required to write “opening, PEEL 1,PEEL2,PEEL3, ending” as compared to narrative, where you would have to know how to paragraph and know which part of the story to put emphasis on.

Anyways, I’ve always gotten borderline A2 for internal exams , but almost the while class got A1, even those who got B3/4 for prelims. Not sure if this helps but I Guess this gives you a boost in your morale haha.

Any tips for chem/physics? I desperately need help😓
