Structure of the Oral English Exam

For this lesson, we’ve divided the questions into four sections, starting with Section E, which focuses on vowel and consonant sounds.

Section E – Vowel and Consonant Sounds (20 Questions)

Understanding how to identify sound patterns is one of the biggest keys to scoring high in Oral English. Here are the first few questions from our top 50 list:

Question 1: Vowel Sound – Identify the Odd Word

Choose the word that has a different sound:

• A. Seat
• B. Sit
• C. Meet
• D. Beat

Correct Answer: B. Sit

Explanation:
“Sit” has a short vowel sound /ɪ/, while “seat,” “meet,” and “beat” have a long vowel sound /iː/.
A good way to identify long sounds is by checking for the double dots (::) in the phonetic symbol.

Question 2: Consonant Sound – Identify the Odd Word

Choose the odd one out based on consonant sound:

• A. Chat
• B. Chef
• C. Chin
• D. Check

Correct Answer: B. Chef

Explanation:
“Chef” starts with the /ʃ/ (sh) sound, while the others — “chat,” “chin,” and “check” — all begin with the /ʧ/ (ch) sound.

Question 3: Match the Vowel Sound with “Boots”

Which of the following has the same vowel sound as “boots”?

• A. Good
• B. Food
• C. Root
• D. Book

Correct Answer: C. Root

Explanation:
“Boots” and “root” both contain the long vowel sound /uː/, unlike “good” and “book,” which contain the short /ʊ/.
