Oral examination, "O" Level style

Today, Chinese oral. It's one step to the "F" grade for me. But no, this time, it was quite refreshing. The invigilators, seemed to be so close to me, as if I had known them for a year or so, so as it was. The new relief teacher, though he came in just his year, I had known him for the past two years, so, tlking to him was very much like talking to an old friend. The passages reading, the invigilator was my cousin's form teacher, so, after she confirmed with me about that, the first impression I got was that, she might be slightly lenient towards my poor reading skills... The first paragraph was a blunder, however, I found the next two to be very smooth going. Today, the hall was divided into three stages, as I viewed it to be. The first stage of the oral examination was the reading preparation stage. That was where the examination begun for all of us. Three minutes, no more nor less to complete the passage. Then it was on to the second waiting area, to wait for our turn to read the passage to the invigilator... There were three, so, of the three, I went to the left most lane... I had wanted to switch with Steven, but it was futile.
Stage one over, next stop, waiting area three. Here I waited to start a conversation with the invigilator with another invigilator... The only teacher I was afraid of, was the one in the middle... The HOD? No, she seemed to be very friendly of the three. So, overall, it was quite a success for the first time... It would turn out to be a good grade this time... Seems like my level of confidence is rising... lol.... So long then, I have a debate to prepare for tomorrow...
