Terrifying MUET Speaking Test Apr/May'07
I was so nervous that i couldn't help myself from keep going to the toilet to empty my tank!I'd been to toilet for thrice oredy...OMG!So tensed up that i afraid i wouldn't do well in the test...
Well,nth could be done after being quarantined in the room except kept practising with group members.But,my performance didn't seem to up to my expectation.After 2practices,we decided to stop as that would be our last practice before the real test.
After the MUET trial,we been done over 20times of practices,till we were so well to each others though some unexpected situations still would appear such as no enough interaction and unable to conclude in time.Luckily,we were able to conquer it by conducting the practices again and again.The 2 MUET books' exercises been done almost 3/4 of it.BUT, Pn.Pres told us that it wasn't the no. of practices that we all had been done,it was the problem how calm could we be in the real exam!
We were the 1st session (7.30-10.00am) batch of candidates to be quarantined and be tested.But,my group was the 4th group out of 5.We were being quarantined since 7.55am.The bell rang meant that the next group was being called to enter the exam room.
We were waiting in the quarantine room, waiting the call from the DEATH GOD...it could be said, none of the candidates didn't feel nervous about it..aiya,except those who already experts like Kiran, Daniel,...
Finally,at 9.20am we heard the sound of the previous group's candidates leaving from the exam room.Waited for so long, practised for so long,finally,my group been called to enter the exam room.
The familiar face made me think of the form5 life,1 of the examiner,Jenny Lee,my previous English teacher.They said she would be biased and gave me better mark,but i din agree so coz she's been fair all time when she taught me.She is a kind-hearted and helpful teacher,BUT she always liked to nag and lecture before the lessons begun.She could make use of 1 1/2 out of d 2periods (highest record) to nag and tell the students off.I wasn't her favourite students though i did "copy" others to finish her homework and did other work instead during her lessons e.g. being dazed... Sorry teacher,if anything offended..hah!
But,no time for me to think of that,i told myself to be focused,coz i only got 4minutes to prepare my task A,i couln't afford to lose even 1second of it,i wanted to perform well!
Exam started,the question was ==> What is the characteristic of a skilled worker...?
(a)Being creative
(b)Being proactive
(c)Being computer-literate
(d)Being highly motivated
"Ur 2minutes start now!",suddenly whole brain became blank couldn't think of better idea about it! So damned...i din wan to give up! I thought very hard,finally the points like diarrhea came out all at 1 time.I was like..."fuiyo" - -"
"Candidate B, u may start now...". "Gd morning...I think that a skilled worker must be proactive...y would i say so? Firstly,wat is being proactive? it means that 1 person have the initiative to complete his or her work...it is the generic competency that a worker must posses so that he or she can survive in this rapidly changing world of tomorrow...they foresee the problems or a crisis...do things before hand...can solve the problems in the shortest time...they wun procrastinate their work as they have the initiative and are diligent...they are marketable and highly sought by the employers...so in conclusion,i think that...Thank you"
Grammatical errors still existing...luckily,i spoke mine already and was able to get rid of my nervousness! Task B were going on quite smoothly and at the end, the other candidates agreed on my point and we had come to a conclusion at about 9min30sec (The time limited is 10min)!
What a big relief for all of us...it finally became our memory, nt a nightmare anymore...Overall,it has been an unforgettable memory for the rest...I think after this i might just forget abt MUET and concentrate on my main subs,IF the result come out in July at least got Band4...(that will be my overall standard as i estimated)! Hopefully,i can get a low band5 so that i dun hv to resit and it will be advantageous for me in future... :)
