NSW Chinese Years 7-10 (Stage 5, Year 9) - travel, health and body, past events and stories - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Chinese Year 9” 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.
Planning and recounting trips, with the aspect markers that locate events in time.
Describing how you feel, what hurts and what you should do.
Building a narrative in Chinese: sequence, cause and reaction.
A Chinese Year 9 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 9 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.
