Dear Teachers,

 

It seems the Edexcel GCSE Chinese certificate doesn't show whether the student has done Mandarin or Cantonese.

 

We currently have one candidate originally from Hong Kong who has completed her controlled assessment speaking in Cantonese last month. However, her parents have just contacted me and asked if their daughter can sit her GCSE listening exam in Mandarin (rather than Cantonese) in May/June.

 

Does anyone know if this is OK or not? Please advise.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Sophia

Dear Jenny,

Yes, Alex has sent the great PPT, many thanks! I did not particularly do Beijing's, but I have prepared some readings about 2012 London Olympics for my sixth form students, which most materials were from BBC Chinese website. I attached a part of them here. If you need some more about London's, we may share each other.

Dear Jenny (and all), please find the attached PPT which our Hanban colleague Liu Xiuqin made for our lesson last week, which is related to what you're talking about I think. Also, the PPT 'Lesson 1' is the lesson of which her presentation was part.

Subject: Beijing Olympics



Dear all,

  I wonder if anyone out there could help?  My school is running a year 8 Citizenship day on 13th March.  The theme is the perceived benefits of hosting the Olympic Games.  We would like our students to have a sense of how Chinese people felt about the Beijing Olympics.  Would anyone be willing to make some comments in answer to the following questions? - no names will be used in passing on this information:


Were there economic benefits?  ( tourism, regeneration of areas, facilities, etc. )

Was there development in transport?  ( infrastructure built- more efficient trains, etc. )

Did the Olympics unify people?  ( national pride)

Were there fitness benefits?  ( an impact on future fitness and participation in sport )

I would be really grateful for any response from Chinese colleagues.

Many thanks,

Jenny Emm
