Ok... this is it. The last time i will ever read a passage to a teacher and have a long conversation. Time to give it my best shot... Bring it on!!
Stood up... walk to the seat and read silently. Damn... first line one character already i dunno... nvm... just a minor setback. Zut!! Another one... and another and another and... another. So many i dunno!! And it's like every 1-2 sentences i don't know a character. It all depends on my conversation then.
A miracle happened earlier on... shall not say it. But i was prepared.
5 mins up... i haven't finish reading the whole passage!! Haiy... sat at the 'waiting chair'. That time I was really motivating myself. Was tired after a long wait... began to fall sleepy... even at the start. Come on!! This is finally it!!
Walk up to the teachers, greeted, pass my ic to them. Took a breath and started. Damn... brush through the first para... struggled all the way through the passage... like stopping at every 2-3 characters. In my head i was begging the teachers to tell me to stop 'torturing myself' (reading). The teacher had to even re-look at the passage when i anyhow replace the characters i don't know... that's how bad it is...
Conversation... 'yes i agree'... 'why?' Erm.... that's it... my mind went blank.... all that stupid preparations... and what? Blank.
The teacher asked the question again... like 2-3 times... and finally got my brains working and said a bit. My morale was freaking low... at the point of giving up. I want it done and over with... to save me from humiliation. Answered the remaining questions in a jiff... and said 'no nothing more to say'.
There... over... Mandarin ain't my cup of tea... i will have to do well in listening then... I need a miracle!!
