As I have informed in the last 2 post that I had my O Level Chinese Oral today. How was it?

Well, I did what the chinese teacher told me to do. Hopefully it works out fine. Reading aloud I would say for myself was a little bit terrible. I was very very nervous, I was stuttering throughout the whole passage. Next of all, there are words that I had no clue at all. and these words kept on appearing for about 6 times... So I have make the same mistake throughout.

Then the conversation. the topic was bring your own bag day. How do I feel about this plan? I said that it was a good thing because the government are trying to reduce the government's investment on making these plastic bags. The reasons why, I mentioned that because Singaporeans are using too much plastic bags, and after using them once, they had no clue what to do with them. The thing that I forgot to add on to this is that it accounts for the largest amount of litter in singapore. ARGHHH!!! Then the next reason is that because the government took notice of the inclining price in materials and resources, I don't know how to say oil in chinese so I neglected it, and also I said price as 价值。Is it correct? anyway, then he (oh yeah there were 2 examiners one male and female, both I think comes from china because of how they speak) wanted to interrupt me but I still have something to say, then he stopped, then I stopped, then we don't know what to do with each other, then he proactively prompted me...

The next question he asked me how has this plan affected my family... I was like stunned by this question because obviously, my family isn't in singapore, so it won't affect them at all, but I bluffed my way. I said that my family has taken this plan positively. Everytime they leave the house, they would bring their own bags, obviously. They also tried to buy less groceries on these days so as to reduce the burden to carry to many load in a bag. And I also said that they have tried to avoid to go to the supermarket on these days, I forgot to mention that this is impossible because it is a routine for my family to go to the supermarket everyday. ARGHH!!!

Then the next question was whether I think that this plan would succeed. I said that initially this plan is not very successful because people felt incovenience to bring their own bags from to the market, and also that they felt the pinch in their pocket for having to fork 10 cents for every plastic bag. Clearly, they would be very unhappy with this because the economy is already so bad, and having to pay so much for plastic bags puts a strain on their own finance. However, I think that this plan will be successful in the future. I forgot that mention that the government had good intentions when introducing this plan. Singaporeans should embrace this plan, and be positive about it, because in the future it will benefit them.

then thank you.

Those were basically what I said, in english, for chinese version, please translate it yourself, because seriously I myself could not translate most of them well, I was Er..ing for a long time trying to gather the words... And my structure was definitely not good... So yeah... I hope that my points was enough to complement my delivery...

I aim to get an A2 for Chinese, and hope that the Oral examination would be the good luck charm....
