NSW Chinese Years 7-10 (Stage 4, Year 8) - food and shopping, school life and hobbies, my town and transport - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Chinese Year 8” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
Ordering, buying and describing food, with the money and measure words involved.
Talking about school, free time and how often you do things.
Describing places, giving directions and explaining how you travel.
A Chinese Year 8 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| apply | Short answer | 3–4 |
| compose | Short answer | 3–5 |
| compose | Extended response | 4–6 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| translate | Short answer | 2–3 |
Year 8 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
