EDUCATION – SCHOOL EXAMS

Оглавление

You are going to give a talk about school exams. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).


Remember to say:

● what exams you have to take this year;

● whether exams are useful for your learning or not, and why;

● how you get ready for your most difficult exams;

● what your attitude to school exams is.

You have to talk continuously.


Now I’m going to talk about school exams.


* To begin with, I’m in ninth grade, so according to the law, I take two mandatory exams and two optional exams. Two mandatory exams are Russian language and Mathematics. Additionally, I opted for English and Physics. I’m good at these subjects. That kind of thing.

* To tell the truth, I don’t like taking exams. I feel nervous. It doesn’t help me sail through. I have to work hard. Moreover, I don’t think that tests are good to check up my knowledge. To me, they are not useful at all. I cannot see any connection between my learning, tests, and practical work. I mean real adult life. Top score doesn’t guarantee that I will use this in my future job. And, of course, it won’t help me choose the good job either. Nothing of the kind.

* I have to admit there is nothing new in my preparation for the most difficult exams or tests. I do revision, as usual. I read things again and make notes in order to remember facts, dates, and formulae. A better way to get ready, though, is a cram session, of course. That’s the most efficient thing for me. We get together, ask tricky questions, and thus we close gaps in each other’s knowledge. That’s the way it goes.

* Of course, I don’t like school exams. My attitude is more negative than positive. I have put up with them, though. If you can’t break a wall, you can go around it, as the saying goes. So I’ve adapted, and now I am waiting for graduation to find a job and develop myself.


That’s all I wanted to tell you about school exams.
