Work and careers — IGCSE Chinese - Foreign Language (0547) questions by topic
Career plans and family occupations are extracted from short interviews: what a character wants to do in the future, when someone plans to return to their home country, and what a spouse's job actually is, each drawn from a longer spoken exchange.
Identify, choose, write and describe lead the command words, with marks running from 1 up to 56 across the wider set, and 14 questions on this page from 2025 papers. Because interview-style listening carries more spoken detail than single-sentence items, practise tracking which fact belongs to which speaker as the conversation unfolds, then use instant marking to check whether an answer was attributed to the correct person.
