ROARSS!!!

Had much trouble sleeping just now as i thought about my French oral earlier on.. so felt that if i don't pour out my frustrations here, i don't think i can sleep peacefully later man...

Sighs... i didn't really say much during the oral except Très Bien, D'accord, je vois... i don't even think i said Merci beaucoup or au revoir lor~!

Wa sian lar... Spent the last 3 days practising oral with JJ, thought of all kinds of possible topics and practise real hard.. we even come up with an ending script which can apply to most topics as long as we are friends or acquaintance in the context...

BUT...the topic that we chose turned out to be something we didn't practise!!!! Of all topics we got a room rental topic. So one is renting the room, the other is interested in renting.. we totally never touch this topic at all lor..

And actually right.. we get to pick 2 topics out of about 10 to 15 choices. so by right we could have chosen the other if we can't do this topic... But guess wat???? both of us chose the SAME topic!!!!!!!! OUT of 15 choices???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wa piang how suei can we getsia!! So i consoled myself... i thought, maybe most of the choices are of the same topic...

BUT NO!!! i asked the next few pairs, they got topics like, "what did you do in the weekend?", the doctor and patient scenario, buying a present for a friend scenario... ALL of these we have practised before le, and even had a fixed script for it... KNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JJ on the otherhand, did quite well as usual.. he gave directions to his house clearly, in perfect french, used expressions like "Pardon, excusez moi..","Je n'ai pas les temps...", all of these which i keep using during our oral practice... but it totally slipped my mind at that time...

Totally. sian. diao.

I think probably to the tutor, when comparing me and JJ, i probably only knew my "D'accord" and "Très Bien" best sia...

I have to acknowledge that it's also due to the tremendous amount of effort JJ put in before he oculd articulate his french so fluently... but still...

I know i could have said much more................ ..................................

Again, another test which i haven't given my best.
C'est très KNS....


ROARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
