The Speaking Test


thank God..i had my speaking test already..
nervous, shaking hand, shaking leg, and something like that has gone away already..
i think that i was not perform well today
but..according Miss Zu..our performance today was better than our pretest yesterday..
i think that i cannot perform well because of the topic that was given to us..
" Recording of Pornography using the Cell Phone"
what an expected question..
whatever it is..it's already in the past..
now..all i need is to focus on my Grammar test..
as i know..it is around the corner..

Speaking Test : The flow


Speaking... is freaking you out I bet! haha.. Stress is normal.. in fact there are two types: Eustress (the good stuff) and Distress (the one that makes you have a heart attack and die!)
Practice makes perfect, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Candidate A

Instructions to candidates:

Task A: Individual presentation

* Study the stimulus or topic given.
* You are given one minutes to read the question
* You are given three minute to prepare your point
* You are given two minutes to present.
* Listen to the others while they are making their presentations and take down notes for the group discussion in Task B.

Task B: Group discussion

* After you have listened to everyone, try to come to a decision as to which of the four suggestions is the best.
* Your group is given ten minutes for the discussion.

Task A and Task B will be carried out consecutively.

When the invigilator said ' 40 second left'..each candidate have to come out with a conclusion..


Speaking : Forum

 
the light is switch on as well as the the theme song is played..
then..the word FUTURE MALAYSIA appear on the screen..
a handsome and smart host appear on the stage and welcome the panelist..
as well as the audience..
everyone..at the studio even at home.. was eager to know the topic today..
they seem to pay 100% attention to the forum today..
this is because the forum today will discuss on an interesting topic..
that is ' Public Amenities'..
then..the forum started..every panel confidently giving out their opinion and idea on the topic..
as well as their suggestion on solving problem that occur..
after all the panelist finish giving their opinion..
the host came with the conclusion..
it is accompanied by a big applause from the audience..

That is what we have today for our speaking..
we have to practice as our speaking test will be held this wednesday..
it is just around the corner isn't it??

Listening : Pretest


as we will have our listening test this saturday..
Miss Zu held a listening pretest today..
but before that..
there was a game..
we were divided into seven group..
the game was like this :

a representative from each group
have to sit in front and facing the other members
while, the other members have to mention 
any hint of the object shown on the LCD
the representative then guess what thing it actually is

then, it's time for pretest..
even i sat most nearer to the speaker..
i couldn't answer better..
i only scored 11 out of 15..
the best scorer today was Afiq with total mark of 14..

P/S : Good Luck
