ORAL TODAY WAS.........................
OVERALL ok. but the passage was damn hard. i didn't know how to read like 4-5 words.
so i just anyhow read it! THE WORST thing is that the 5 mins seems like 2 mins.
i only got to read the passage 1 1/2 times! so after the person told me to stop,
in my head i was like: shit i'm screwed.
i felt so stupid because cherish was so good la! when she read, it was super fluent unlike me.
OK. so in order to calm myself down, i prayed A LOT.
when it was time to step into the examination room.
i told myself: OK. u know what? whatever. i don't care already!
this seriously reminds me of gym comp. HAHAHA!
there were 2 ladies. one old one young.
as expected, my passage was screwed. i was stuttering.
i tried to read slow so that it would sound steady but i still sounded super nervous.
conversation came! i hope it would help me pull up my marks.
the question was: some people take pictures of people who behave inappropriately in public.
how do u feel about it.
i brought up a news article and crapped a lot!!!
the best part was that i made the old lady smile! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
that totally sort of encouraged me.
like the first part, she kept a serious face.
thn after i said some stuff blah blah, they were writing my marks.
out of nowhere i just said some things like i brought in my experience (made up one)
and she smiled. but the other one was the IRRITATING one. keep asking me questions that was so hard to answer them. it seemed like i wasn't even answering it directly.
anyway, i was relaxed this time. it didn't sound like a compo but i was really like having a conversation. so i talked A LOT :D i hope it was good. since the old lady smiled?? lol.
i think they were quite nice la. love that old lady!!!
GIVE ME MORE MARKS!!! i really want an A :)
i know this is weird. but i cried a bit after the oral. cause i know i screwed up my passage.
i wonder how the others did...............................
ALL THE BEST FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN IT.
i strongly encourage u to read the passage faster! cause got no time one.
mid year oral exam, no one would tell u 5 mins is up.
u could use time ( including the previous person's conversation ) to read.
so its more than 5 mins already. maybe mine was hard for me. so i read quite slowly.
anyway good luck. i'm so glad ITS OVERRRRRRRR
