Week #5 and the oral exam

So this was the last week of our course and the oral examination was still to come. It was after all the most enjoyable week so far. We did exercises, listened few chapters and also I did some exercises of my own on the preparation class. After all week went fast by but at least I enjoyed so far most so far as I said earlier.

We listened chapter 10 "Welcome to my World" on one class.  It was really touching story of Nigerian girl who granted permission to enter the UK. I did A-B exercises with my partner which was related to the chapter. I gave a try for different accents and one of them and I really liked the Indian accent.

At Friday we read two chapters out loud in my group. We thought that it could be really useful for the oral test which was ahead of us. Especially chapter 9 "Are you being server" was really good chapter for us, in my opinion. That chapter truly gave me new perspective for the customer service. Service can be undoubtedly difficult each other. We acted like they did in the chapter and tried to really be hard customer or salesperson. We have done many different oral examinations but this one I liked and it was helpful.

On Monday I had warm up lesson for upcoming test. Since my partner was doing history matriculation examination I had to practice on my own. I read different chapters I had heard during the course and did some exercises too. Also I wrote bit my journal too. After all I wished that my partner would have been able to come but it was ok. It was fine but could have been better warp up for the test.

The next day I and my mate had the oral exam. First of all the preparation time was not that long but manageable. It could have been much longer but I got main points of the text. I did have no time read my partner questions. I just had to read throught my own topics. But what can I say. Everybody had the same time to become familiar with the material.

I was bit nervous at the beginning of the oral exam but soon after I was comfortable. Hardest task was the second one where I had to re-tell the topic to my partner. But the third part was easiest if I could say. It was not that easy but it was easier than the other two parts.

The course is now over and I have learned a lot during the course. Course 8 was much different compared to the other ones. My oral skills has been improved still does. Thanks to this course!

Good job!
