The top Chinese tutor in Hong Kong

Every year, tens of thousands of students will enter the examination room to take the HKDSE Chinese Language Examination. Considering that classes have been suspended and mock exams canceled due to the epidemic in recent school years. If you are one of the candidates, don't be nervous and believe in yourself.

Learning strategies for 2024DSE Chinese

為了幫助各位DSE考生做好準備，GETUTOR香港導師總會特意請教了在DSE中文科考獲五星星的星級DSE中文補習導師 “何Sir”，指導各位考生應該如何處理DSE中文科各份試卷。

Tip 1: Have your own interpretation

All DSE candidates are requested to read the twelve designated sample essays thoroughly. As long as you read these twelve sample essays thoroughly, you can get most of the points.

Of course, it is still not possible to know which model essays the HKEAA will choose to formulate the questions. It is rare for the same templates to appear two years in a row. So for review candidates who don’t have enough time, the star DSE Chinese tutor Sir He has a little suggestion:

If you really don’t have time, try excluding the sample essays that appeared last year. The rest is what you need to review. Please communicate with your tutor and let him help you. Of course, this method is not absolute, it is best to read all the examples!

Understand the central theme of the sample essay

For the twelve sample essays, Sir He suggested that all DSE candidates:

You can try to understand their central themes while revising or tutoring.

Asir said that when he was tutoring his DSE students in Chinese, he often reminded them that this part is the most time-consuming part of the DSE Chinese paper, because the twelve designated essays are the part where it is really easy to get points. We can’t lose a single point, we can take it all if we can! Therefore, in my Chinese tutoring class, teaching model essays is the highest priority part of my entire Chinese tutoring course arrangement.

Practice more papers to understand the question types

When it comes to the modern articles section, Sir Ho believes that the key to this section is to learn as much as possible about the types of questions that are usually asked by the HKEAA when preparing, such as "The Ninth Flavor", which was cited by the HKEAA in the early years.

When Sir He was tutoring, he discovered that Chinese tutoring students often mentally simulate the emotions or motivations of the central character when dealing with narrative articles. Regarding this situation, Sir He often reminds students in tutoring classes that if you don’t know the central character’s emotions or motivations, don’t give the most obvious answer, because there is a huge gap between the character’s actions and their feelings. Correlation is not always correct. When dealing with this type of problem, you should instead consider other factors that may affect your character's feelings.

avoid confusion

Sir Ho also discovered during tutoring that students sometimes confuse the word 'mentality' with 'values' or 'personal traits'."

He most often corrects students in Chinese tutoring classes, and carefully analyzes the past grading criteria for his Chinese tutoring students in his private Chinese tutoring notes, teaching students to distinguish the requirements of each question to avoid students from correcting the wrong questions. At the same time, he will also teach students to analyze article features and literary techniques in Chinese tutoring classes and Chinese tutoring notes, because these techniques are often used.

DSE Chinese Paper 2: Writing

• Question 1 usually requires you to write a narrative or descriptive essay,
• The second question is an argumentative essay.
• Question 3 is usually an open-ended question. For open-ended questions, candidates can write in various styles according to the keywords of the question, which are generally narrative or argumentative in nature.

avoid vague answers

Star-rated DSE Chinese tutor Sir Ho said:

In recent years, the Examination and Assessment Authority's questions and requirements for the DSE Chinese Paper 2 Argumentative Paper have become more extensive. They no longer require students to compare two different topics, but require students to explain and write more deeply, and require students to explain and write more deeply. "Don't be the first, nor be the last", "discuss character", or "discuss the effectiveness of learning" and other topics.

Taking the last question as an example, Sir He said that most students would answer something like "Learning is useful because we can learn knowledge." Sir He thinks this type ofThe answer is a bit vague, it is difficult to attract DSE examiners.

Based on many years of Chinese tutoring experience, Sir He reminded students to elaborate on the actual benefits of school learning. For example, learning can guide students to make career plans, can cultivate a person's taste, conversation, behavior and soul, and can even inspire people to change society. face. "

Multi-angle Thinking

Please make sure your argument is clear so that the examiner can clearly understand your argument and your logical reasoning. Also, it is recommended to choose a controversial essay topic rather than a descriptive topic because they are easier to outline and analyze, and easier to score. Candidates can also prepare some "one-size-fits-all" examples in advance that are suitable for various arguments, so that they can be easily used when answering. Don't talk too much and spend time embellishing your sentences, and your opinions should be sharp.

If you plan to write a narrative or descriptive article, first of all, please carefully analyze the keywords of the topic to ensure that your story is on topic. If it is off topic, Sir will not save you. Because in Chinese tutoring classes, Sir often finds that the most common problems among Chinese tutoring students are:The article has no title.

Secondly, what Sir He will do in the Chinese tutoring class and hisChinese Intensive Reading Tutorial NotesMiddle school students are taught how to carefully handle turning points in a text, such as where a character changes psychologically. He advises students to set aside a paragraph to describe the defining moment and the emotional transition it involved, such as a change in mood, perspective, or perspective.

小學中文私人補習：點解 80% 家長最後都揀返 1 對 1？

做咗咁多年補習配對，我哋發現一個好明顯嘅 pattern：小學中文呢科，係最多家長由大班轉返私補嘅科目。數學唔識可以操卷，英文唔識可以背字，但中文呢樣嘢，真係睇個小朋友平時讀幾多書、寫幾多字、同埋有冇人肯逐隻字同佢捉。大班坐三四十個細路，老師邊有時間逐個改週記？

根據 GETUTOR 後台 2024-2026 年全港小學中文私人補習配對紀錄，樣本約 1,140 宗，當中 73% 嘅家長係由大型補習社或連鎖中心轉介過嚟搵私補*。平均配對時間約 5.0 小時（小學中文比 DSE 中文仲難配少少，因為好嘅小學中文導師要夠耐性，唔係齋識考試技巧就得）*。月均處理 300+ 個補習需求嘅 GETUTOR 團隊見得多：小學中文搞唔掂嘅同學，十個有八個都係「聽寫勉強合格，但作文寫唔出嘢、閱讀理解成日失分」。

導師點睇：點解小學中文最怕「死背」？

Miss L（按導師私隱要求使用化名，導師資歷已獲 GETUTOR 平台認證）— 香港中文大學中文系畢業，DSE 中文 5*，主力補九龍塘、何文田區 Band 1 英文小學嘅小三至小六學生。教學年資 6 年，累計教過超過 55 個小學生，當中 12 個最後派到九龍塘、北區嘅一線英中。教學風格偏向「捉住一條作文逐句改」，唔會齋派 worksheet。

Miss L 指出：「小學中文最多家長搞錯嘅地方，就係以為多操卷多啲分。其實小三小四嘅小朋友連『因為所以』都駁得唔順，你畀佢做十份 past paper 都係錯同一樣嘢。我哋嘅做法係先捉閱讀理解嘅『點例說』公式——即係『觀點＋例子＋解說』——逐段拆畀佢睇，再反過嚟用同一條公式寫作文。呢套方法係從 DSE 中文反推返落小學，出面啲大班冇時間咁教。」

另一位導師 Mr. W（按導師私隱要求使用化名）— 香港教育大學中文教育學士，現職某津小中文科老師，兼職私補，主補沙田、大圍區小學生。教學年資 8 年。佢補充：「範文速記法我會用喺小學——例如教《兩小兒辯日》，我唔會叫學生背成篇，我會叫佢用兩個字概括故事，例如『日遠日近』，咁考嗰陣佢自然記得情節。呢個方法係 DSE 中文導師圈入面傳開嘅，用返落小學效果更明顯，因為小朋友仲未定型。」

補幾耐先見效？小學中文各範疇建議堂數

作文係最花時間嘅一環，因為改文唔似改數學咁可以即刻知對錯——要逐句睇邏輯、睇用詞、睇段落銜接。好多家長以為補幾堂就搞掂，其實唔係。

GETUTOR 導師防伏貼士：呢幾樣嘢千祈唔好做

防伏位一：千祈唔好淨係叫小朋友抄課文。好多家長會叫細路罰抄十次，以為咁就記得。根據 GETUTOR 導師團隊反饋，抄課文對中文進步幫助近乎零，真正有用嘅係「親手抄一次＋自己用口講一次」。抄完要佢合埋書覆述，先叫入腦。

防伏位二：作文唔好用 template。出面有啲補習社會派「萬能開首」、「萬能結尾」，短期睇似有效，但小五小六開始，學校老師一眼睇得出係套嘢，分數反而會扣。Miss L 話：「我見過有學生背晒所有 template，結果每篇作文都一樣開頭『在這個陽光明媚的早晨』，改到我頭都痛。」

防伏位三：文言文唔好逐隻字譯。小學嘅文言文其實唔多，重點係理解故事同道理，唔係考翻譯。用「跟住抄」法＋兩字概括，比逐隻字解有效得多。

防伏位四：聽寫合格唔代表搞掂中文。好多家長見小朋友聽寫攞 80 分就放心，其實聽寫同作文、閱讀理解係兩碼子事。GETUTOR 後台數據顯示，聽寫 85 分以上嘅學生，作文攞 B 以下嘅佔約 52%*。
