Would your child know what to do if a stranger messaged them online? Watch the clip and the questions.
Online safety (网上安全) is a common PSLE Chinese oral conversation topic. This page has the video clip, the examiner-style questions and the follow-up questions, plus what a strong answer includes — practical, exam-format practice your child can do at home in Mandarin.
What happens in the clip
一个男生坐在电脑前和陌生人聊天，屏幕上有一个问号头像。他的姐姐走过来看到了，吓了一跳，赶紧阻止他。后来，爸爸妈妈坐在桌旁认真地和男生谈话，教他上网要注意安全。
A boy sits at the computer chatting with a stranger whose profile is just a question-mark avatar. His older sister walks over, sees what's happening, and quickly stops him. Afterwards his parents sit down with him and talk seriously about staying safe online.

How the PSLE Chinese video conversation works
In the current PSLE Chinese oral exam (华文口试), the conversation section (会话) is based on a short video clip (看录像会话). Your child watches a roughly 30-second clip — with light Mandarin narration that points out the theme — and the examiner then asks a few questions about it.
The questions usually move through three stages:
- Describe what happened — retell the clip in your own words, in full sentences.
- Relate it to your own experience — a real example from your own life.
- Give your opinion — what you think should be done, and why.
The examiner will often ask follow-up questions — a quick 为什么？ (why?) or 可以举个例子吗？(can you give an example?). The best answers don't stop at one sentence: they give a reason and a concrete example, and stay in Mandarin throughout. That's exactly what the practice on each clip is designed to build.

Your child answers the questions aloud and gets a parent-readable scorecard. No card needed to start.
