Many candidates were familiar with the official term Ma Er Ta (Malta). Examiners suggested that candidates also familiarise them- selves with terms such as Wai Lai Ta (Valletta) and Ge Zuo Dao (Gozo). They also expressed disappoint- ment that some candidates failed to note that the term Wai Lai Ta (Valletta) had already been pro- vided in a previous task in the same exam. Candidates wrote other place names, such as 'Rabat', 'Mdina', and 'Sliema,' in Maltese. The exam also included tasks such as short messages declining a friend's invitation and letters describing activities in spring and summer. In another writing task candidates were asked to respond to a short iMessage asking them whether they are free on the fol- lowing Saturday to watch a film and to eat Chinese food after- wards. Candidates generally han- dled multiple-choice and fill- in-the-blank tasks well, though sentence-form answers proved slightly more challenging. Writing tasks required between 30 and 130 characters, depending on the lev- el, and most candidates achieved good marks. Examiners noted that some stu- dents even exceeded character re- quirements while staying on topic, showing engagement and effort. Overall, candidates demonstrated strong language skills, though ex- aminers advised future learners to pay attention to writing Chinese characters clearly, using the cor- rect stroke order, and to familiar- ise themselves with the SEC sylla- bus before sitting for the exam. According to a 2020 study by Christiana Sciberras published in the Malta Journal of Education adult learners in Malta are moti- vated to study Mandarin both for work and business purposes and for personal interest. Many adult learners view Chi- nese as an additional foreign lan- guage that enhances career op- portunities or facilitates travel and communication in China. Others are driven by curiosity about the language and culture, or by the challenge of learning a language very different from those they al- ready know. The study also found that while writing and recognis- ing characters are considered the most difficult skills, highly moti- vated learners enjoy the process and are committed to continuing their studies. Alongside Chinese, four other new subjects have been intro- duced to the SEC curriculum: Maltese as a foreign language, the- atre, dance, and core science. Open sign in Mandarin: 57 candidates sat for the Chinese language SEC exam (File photo) gets rooftop sunbeds permit but change requires parliamentary approval ment in the absence of clearance from the Lands Authority. But af- ter five deferrals over the past two and a half years, during a meeting held on 11 November, the Plan- ning Commission decided to ap- prove the application, after clear- ance from the Lands Authority was obtained. However, when contacted by MaltaToday, a government spokesperson insisted the clear- ance for the permit was condi- tional on the approval of changes to the original contract. The spokesperson said that the Lands Authority is fully aware of the clause banning the erection of rooftop structures. "In fact, in this case the issuance of a full and executable permission for this development shall be subject to the submission of an application to modify the said clause, which application shall be determined by the Lands Authority in accord- ance with the law." According to the law, the re- moval of a restrictive clause con- stitutes a "disposal" of govern- ment land, which means that the change has to be submitted to parliament for validation. The developer, through his law- yer Chris Cilia, had argued that the placement of sunbeds on the roof cannot be construed as be- ing tantamount to a violation of the deed, in view of the fact that sunbeds and umbrellas are tem- porary by their very nature and cannot be considered "struc- tures." The lido belongs to a consorti- um of four seafront hotels—Bay- view, Kennedy Nova, 115 The Strand, and Waterfront hotels. Reporting by James Debono
