We're all growing old! Wahahahaha ((:
Normally, on this particular day of the week, at this time of day, I'd be sulking. Why? - There's school tomorrow! But today... Well, yes, it's a lazy and utterly boring afternoon, but... There's no school tomorrow!! And tomorrow's tomorrow. And tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow! Sweet. Whee-hoo! Remember to report by 11am on Tuesday, Mr Balan has a 'surprise' for us :) I! CAN'T! WAIT! Can you? LOL
All the best for oral. Here are some tips from the GREAT AMADEA (helloooo, I'm being modest here.) :
1) Read
aloud, please. If I were a teacher, and the 'victim' makes me have to lean forward to hear him/her, why, I'd really wish that I could give him/her two tight slaps. Well, perhaps three might be better... Left, right, and center :)
2) Describe the picture with the widest range of vocabulary possible. Make the examiner go,
Oh wow, this person can really describe, man. Do NOT say one sentence, and then sit still and stare at the examiner like a blur animal.
3) Talk more during the conversation. You are supposed to com-mu-ni-cate with the examiner. That's why it's called a con-ver-sa-tion. Get the picture? You are not Felicia Chin or Fann Wong, nobody is conducting a question-and-answer interview with you. It is a (say this with me) con-ver-sa-tion. Exactly.
That marks the end of my glorious tips. And also, my super-mega-ultra interesting blog post. Thank you for you attention, ladies and gentlemen... And goodnight. (Or morning, or afternoon... or whichever time of day it is.)
Ciao,
Amadea.
