Today's fine. I have finished taking UE Writing, Reading and Language Systems and also Practical skills for work and study. The 3 papers are generally fragility-provoking. Yup, I love inventing words, but not in any composition that should be handed in to anyone.
Some evaluations here. I need them, really. I wrote the topic of slimming products on my writing. I love this topic. This is the topic that I gained an A in my Human Relationships exam paper. I got 20 out of 25, an A-grade mark. Therefore, I had great confidence in writing this topic. It was like I recalled what I wrote in the previous mock examination. Hehe. Eleanor was envious because I could apply what I have learnt in other subjects but she couldn't. Yay for Liberal Studies.
For the reading part, I hate the reading passage. OMG, it was so frigging boring. It was briefly about selling flowers and those flower growers got toxicated because of the chemicals used during the production. It was an article extracted from IHT, one of my favorite newspapers. In case you don't know the name, it's International Herald Tribune. I started reading it once I cultivated an interest in going to Pacific Coffee. I wanna kill myself after knowing that I have conmmitted a serious and unforgivable grammatical mistake - I crossed out the 's' from the word 'concern', it should be 'express my concerns' instead of 'express my concern'. Oh shit. WTF! I shoulda believe in my intuition!
Another thing, I doubt whether those Section C (Reading part) paper makers are really and genuinely psychotics. If so, I really want their names and make them part of my site theme. How could a F.7 know the collocations of 'intrigue'. Honestly, I don't. I don't even know the exact meaning. I just guess it whenever I come across this word in the newspapers. That time, according to my intuition, I chose 'intrigued by'. But I checked the dictionary just now, it should be either 'intrigued with' which means arouse one's interest; or 'intrigued against' which means make or carry some secret plans to do something bad. I hate them! Who knows that without checking out in the dictionary??
There was a word 'taboo' in the matching section. If Paula didn't mention this word in class, who could I know? I guess others do not know either. Hopefully, I used this word as part of my title of my writing - "Overweight - a taboo of society?" I am so lucky being taught by her. But what angers me a lot is that - I still haven't received my writing package!!!!!!!!! I am serious and totally furious at the same time. It speant me almost 2 hours of thinking, organizing and the cost is the time spent, plus the number of cells died during the thinking and writing process.
Speaking of the Practical Skills, OMG, what a revolution! There were just 2 tasks. The first one carries 58 marks and the other carries 38 marks. I did the first one first. It was a damn report. I could still remember the format of a report that is in Chinese style. So I wrote with headings. Like, 1. Background / a. What is the programme?....blah I was such a genius! I saw people writing in paragrahs. Hey, I didn't cheat, I just scan through others' papers in a pretty far distance. Eleanor told me she didn't write headings either, she wrote in an article format.
Hehe. I am satisfied. I am looking forward to getting better results in the later subjects. Oh I forgot to tell you: I met the exact same examiners today. I wonder they would go through the entire A-levels together with me. And also, I saw my seat number for Psychology, Geography and Liberal Studies are all 001. As Geography is a comparatively more popular subject than the other 2, I am afraid I am the only candidate in that particular examination centers!!!
Last note: Happy Birthday to my mom. I forgot to buy her something, but anyway, I will print her cards or send an e-card to her later. Then, I gotta practise some english listening tests. Kisses.
