Cultural issues (文化問題); Paper 3 – Listening (聆聽理解) Paper 4 – Oral Skills Assessment (說話能力測試); and Paper 5 – Extra Readings (課外閱讀) (School-based Assessment). Like Use of English, as a required-pass subject for degrees in JUPAS, almost all of the student sat it. However, unlike the English Language, students who did not take the Chinese Language in HKCEE usually did not sit the examination, as JUPAS usually accepted an extra AS-level equivalent subject (or similar qualification to a Chinese Language pass) to replace the HKALE Chinese Language pass for students who never took part in Chinese Language in both HKCEE and HKALE and studied Chinese for less than 6 years.

Paper 1A – Practical Writing The test lasted for 1 hour and 30 minutes and is allocated 20% of the total subject mark.

Options of text types could be: a formal letter; a personal letter; a script of public speech; a featured topic article; an argumentative criticism; a report (on a case investigation or a project, etc.); a proposal; a news article or minutes. Unless quoting speeches from public figures, any names that needed to be used in the question had to use the name in the question or the name list from the question paper, if not available. Marks were deducted for violation. The rule was set up to prevent candidates from using names that could cause unfairness to other students. Paper 1B – Reading Comprehension The test lasted for 1 hour and was allocated 15% of the total subject mark. Reading comprehension can be: a 2-piece reading (usually could passage written in Classical Chinese and another in Vernacular Chinese, widely used after the May Fourth Movement); a speed reading, which could be: Type (1): usually seven to eight articles, unrelated to one another, Type (2): three unrelated groups of
