Section outline

    • Introduction

      The main aim of this resource is to exemplify standards of Cambridge International AS Level Chinese Language, Paper 4 Speaking Test, and show how different levels of candidates' performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject's curriculum and assessment objectives. 

      Candidate responses have been selected from June 2024 series to exemplify a range of answers. 

      The recording of each Speaking Test is followed by moderator comments on where and why marks were awarded or omitted, followed by comments on how the answer could have been improved. In this way, it is possible for you to understand what candidates have done to gain their marks and what they could do to improve their answers. Common mistakes and misconceptions are also commented on for the whole test. 

      The moderator comments in full, for all three levels of candidates' performance, can also be found below for you to download and print.
