How to Prep for Oral Exams using AI?

Sample At-Home Method:

Example: O Level 2023 Day 1 Topic Sample [Patriotism]:

You will watch a video showing national servicemen doing push-ups and team bonding activities, with a crowd of NSmen cheering them on and recording videos.

As you watch the video, think about how you will respond to related prompts such as:

• Who are the people watching the event, and what could they be thinking?
• What do you think the people watching the video are feeling?
• Could this be an NSMen cohesion day? Why might such activities be organised?

You can also practice answering typical O-Level Spoken Interaction questions, such as:

• How could school and family contribute to a teenager’s character development?
• What do you think parents and schools can do to teach their child good morals?
• What can schools and parents do to cultivate a child’s character?
• Should students join uniform groups? Why or why not?
• Do you think everyone can join uniform groups?
• Should all students join uniform groups as their CCA?

Write down key points on paper and refer to them during your presentation.

Step-by-Step:

1. Record Your Response.

2. Transcribe Your Recording:

   • Use a transcribing tool to record your oral presentation.
   • You may use Microsoft Word’s “Transcribe” tool (found under the Dictate button). Alternatively, search online for “transcribe recording to text” using any transcription website.

3. Upload your transcript to Google Docs and share it with your teacher.

4. Go to ChatGPT and use this prompt:

   Please help me edit my response to the question: [Insert Question Here, e.g., “Who are the people watching the national servicemen event, and what could they be thinking?” or “Should students join uniform groups?”]. When you edit my response, please ensure that my response is well-developed and organised, with a wide range of vocabulary and structures. This is my response: [Insert Your Response Here].

5. Compare ChatGPT’s revised version with your own:

   • Highlight ChatGPT’s changes in yellow.
   • Reflect: What worked better in the ChatGPT version?
   • What techniques or phrases can you adopt?

6. Practice out loud using the improved version, but make the words your own!

   Internalise the ideas, don’t memorise!
