昨天的 DSE 口試 Oral Speaking 題目為 Bamboo Scaffolding 即是「竹棚」，大部分考生見此題即慨嘆地獄試題。其實建造業是香港一個非常重要的行業，竹棚架亦是中國地區一項傳統建築技術，集工程學與力學於一身，同學多些留意身邊的事物，其實就不會太陌生。

大家如果多啲留意建造業，留意到搭竹棚，這樣題目其實難度不算大。
其實 Bamboo Scaffolding 並非首次於 DSE 登場
大家以為 Bamboo Scaffolding 冷門？其實早於 2020年的 DSE English Paper 1 A: “Tai Kwun: The Big House is Finally Open”. 當中 Line 20 已出現過 Bamboo Scaffolding。有做過 Past Paper 的同學仔，其實不會對此感到陌生。
所以說 Bamboo Scaffolding 冷門的同學，只是你沒有看過 2020 年的試卷罷了。
