English prelim oral today! It was relatively fine..except that i made myself sound like the greatest slut that ever lived on this planet.
arrgh... we'll get to that part later. after sitting for many orals, i conclude that they LOVE to use reading passages with indian names in them. i was thinking.why? is it supposed to be like a tongue twister? or is supposed to stumble us and then the examiner can deduct points? weird.purpose unknown.
so anyway.. conversation part 2: Would you want to be a career woman or a family woman? i said career.. then i went on to explain why. but suddenly i remembered that my english teacher advices us to not be bias, to have a balanced opinion. i panicked and was thinking about how to say something about true love coming along without sounding too sappy..and then IT came out. like word vomit. i said: But i'll see if a family comes along the way. YOU KNOW?? like if i get pregnant accidentally! plus i said FAMILY not A kid. oh my. i stared at the examiner, horror-stricken. he just started laughing. and after that my mind just went blank. but still i think i fared pretty well because he kept saying well done. sheesh. i think i'l have to duck when i see him in school.
