操 DSE 歷史 PastPaper 試題題目有咩好處？

大哥啊，成日話歷史好多嘢要記好多嘢要背，記得個頭就無咗個尾，咁係因為你夾硬塞啲嘢入個腦到呀嘛

又唔見你講BTS、Seventeen、Twice啲歌詞難記？

分分鐘啲舞你都跳得返出嚟添呀！

無緣無故背到琅琅上口係件超難嘅事，相反你操吓卷不斷地應用，久而久之望到個年份就憶起件史事啦

考 DSE 歷史題目，不是學習歷史

操練 dse history 試題（pastpaper）是必需的.

考試考試，喂，依家你係考歷史並唔係讀歷史啊！

兩者嘅差別就大啦，讀歷史你需要好熟個發展

即係去旅行個導遊咁，邊到幾點講過啲咩最好牢牢記實

不過呢，考試係要你做歷史資料題（DBQ）同論述題（Essay），唔是記得原因經過結果就得㗎

比分位係睇你點樣理解分析，組織表達

既然係咁，你話點樣唔操吓 DSE History 試題 Past Paper 啦？

親，記住依家你係考歷史而唔係讀歷史喲！

操 dse 歷史題目能夠掌握考評心理.

DSE 每科內容就似浩瀚大海，有沒有終點誰能知道？

當溫極都仲有睇唔到盡頭嘅時候，我哋可以選擇詳讀略讀

意思即係有啲課題唔係幾緊要，咁你咪放輕手溫少啲囉，有啲部分重要過講三次都唔夠，唔使講比哂力落去重拳出擊啦

喺到 Chester 可以話你一二戰、中國資料題（DBQ）年年都出

相反日本、國際協作無咁重要

結論係知彼知己百戰百勝

依家你連遊戲規則、對方套路都唔熟識，仲想點樣出奇制勝呀

宜家都中六啦，但我仲未温曬History所有syllabus

點算啊，DSE實攞2啦

揾Chester啦！上佢啲堂、睇佢啲notes，再操埋PP同寫common mistake，咁就Perfect啦

快啲拎條 DSE 歷史 PastPaper 出嚟練習啦

The 2016 DSE elective Chinese History exam was easier than ever, say teachers

Some say the simpler exam paper is to entice more students to sign up for the subject

This year’s DSE elective Chinese History Paper exam was much simpler than last year’s because more popular topics appeared in this year’s paper, secondary school teachers say.

H. Y. Fung, a history tutor at Modern Education, noticed that there were not many cross-dynasty questions which required students to compare the political systems in more than one dynasty in Paper One.

“This type of cross-dynasty question is particularly challenging as students need to study two different periods. That means they don’t need to memorise a lot of stuff, which helps them get higher scores in this subject,” he says.

For example, Q3(a) in Paper One only asked about Emperor Wen of Sui dynasty and his achievements, whereas Q3(b) focused on Emperor Taizong of Tang, his politics and the situation in the Tang dynasty. “Question 3 and Q4 in Paper One were straightforward and students should have been able to handle them. The questions’ scope was limited to what these two emperors had achieved, rather than asking candidates to compare their achievements.

“I think the Hong Kong Examination and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) has tried to make the exam easier to persuade more candidates to choose this elective, because the drop-out rate is high,” Fung says.

Fung also noted that Q3(b) was similar to the Chinese History exam in the HKAL [HK Advanced Level examination], as it asked students to evaluate whether the occurrence of the Golden Years under Emperor Taizong of Tang was due to his own ability as emperor or circumstances at that time.

G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College’s Vice Principal and Chinese History Panel Head Lau King-fai said this year’s Paper One consisted of more map-reading, matching and fill-in-the-space questions, which weren’t worth many marks each. This made it easier for students to secure marks. He added there were only a few questions that asked students to take a stance and use historical evidence to support their views.

A Chinese history teacher surnamed Yiu said she was surprised to see a question (Q7) in Paper One that referenced the Russo-Chinese relations. “It was not a popular topic as it’s not easy for students to discuss Chinese foreign policy. Q7(b) asked students to use historical evidence to support the statement in the data. If students didn’t have any historical knowledge related to their findings, they would lose all 10 marks,” she says.

First world war questions a minefield for 2016 DSE history students

Paper Two included six modules. Candidates had to choose one particular module and answer two out of three questions in each module.

DSE candidate Mak Wing-sum, 17, from CCC Kei Yuen College chose Module Three: scholars in different eras. She said this year’s Paper Two was trickier than last year’s. “Paper Two in previous years typically asked us to compare two scholars’ theories and academic contributions.

"But Q9(a) and (b) were very tricky as these questions only focused on one particular scholar – Sir Kai Ho Kai. An in-depth analysis of his contributions to Chinese revolutions, the city’s medical and educational development in the early 20th century would have been challenging if we hadn’t prepared ‘his story’ in detail,” says Mak.

To do well in the Chinese history exam, Fung suggests students read more history books like Ray Huang’s  1587, a Year of No Significance: The Ming Dynasty in Decline , which can help students understand more about the Ming dynasty and answer questions on it with more depth.

Learning English through Popular Culture 

Recently the Hong Kong Government published a list of intangible cultural heritage items that the city should protect. The following were on the list: Traditional egg tarts and mahjong 

Write a letter to the editor of the Hong Kong Daily supporting the Government’s choice of these two features of Hong Kong culture, suggesting why they are worth protecting and how they can be protected. 

Dear Editor,

Egg Tarts and Mahjong: Our Old Hong Kong

Traditional egg tarts and mahjong bring back memories of the old days. The scene of my mother playing mahjong while we children eating egg tarts decades ago comes back to my mind again. They are the important part of the old Hong Kong. Recently, the Government has included these two local cultural features as intangible cultural heritage. It is a welcome move. As Hong Kong has developed into an international city where East meets West, we are under the constant influence of Eastern and Western culture, ranging from Japanese food, Korean pop culture to American TV dramas and Hollywood movies. As foreign culture prevails in Hong Kong, Hong Kong local culture is losing appeal and fading away from our daily life. To prevent our local culture from dying, the Government should protect our cultural heritage in order to pass on the history and memory to the next generation.

Traditional egg tarts were signature food of the last century. They were famous for its crust and sweet flavour, and were sold and served by local bakeries and cafes. Almost every Hongkonger has eaten egg tarts. Do you remember those days when you were waiting for the hot, freshly made egg tarts at one of the nearby bakeries in the neighborhood as a treat after school? When we were poor and young in those days, we always scrambled to the bakery and lined up for the egg tarts which were ready to be sold at a quarter past three after the school bell rang. We were satisfied because egg tarts were not only yummy but also cheap. Egg tarts actually grew up with us. They are our collective memory of the old Hong Kong. Therefore, egg tarts are worth protecting. 

Mahjong was a famous game among Hong Kong people of the last century. The sound of playing mahjong was often heard along the corridor of the housing estate. Some TV game shows were even based on mahjong and attracted millions of audience. Mahjong was also a game among family, friends and relatives during the Chinese New Year because it is a symbol of solidarity. However, mahjong is disappearing from our daily life because there are so many entertainment options available. Similar to egg tarts, mahjong is our collective memory of the old Hong Kong. Therefore, mahjong is worth protecting.

To help protect and preserve our cultural heritage, the Government can promote egg tarts by making a short film advertisement about egg tarts and the old Hong Kong and inviting famous people to star in the film. Also, the Government can offer subsidises to food trucks at the tourist spots which sell egg tarts. It can help promote egg tarts as our local cultural heritage to our visitors. As for mahjong, the Government can organize a “Mahjong Contest” in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre where Hong Kong people can participate and play mahjong as contestants to win the championship. It aims to promote mahjong culture in our community. 

I hope that, by doing so, our cultural heritage can be preserved in our community and passed on to the next generation as part of the history of Hong Kong. 

Yours faithfully,

I love your writing! Could you please share some writing tips? 🙂

Thank you karmannnm for your comment 😀

A piece of good writing requires structure. Let’s take the above article as an example for discussion:

First, to have a main theme about the topic. (i.e. egg tarts and mahjong in relation to old Hong Kong nostalgia) The whole article centres around the main theme. Second, to give one idea for each paragraph (i.e. one paragraph for why egg tarts are worth preserving and another paragraph for mahjong) Third, to elaborate your idea with examples in relation to old Hong Kong nostalgia (i.e. childhood memories or experience) Finally, to suggest how to protect egg tarts and mahjong in one paragraph

I hope the above would help you. If you have got any questions or comments, please feel free to share with me. Thank you.
