Mines on wednesday!! did they ask anyone for a 'jikoshokai'? And my detailed study was 'Japanese earthquake prevention stradegies'
Im at some motel in box hill haha.
No one really asks for a personal introduction; they kind of ask for
- family
- school
- hobbies
- future
- travel
Those are the five main topics, which of course can span out from there. If you prepared a script, that's great! but also you have to make room for flexibility, especially if they ask you random questions. Make sure you include clear LINKING sentences if you want to control the conversation!
How did everyone go?....
Mine wasnt too bad. I went pretty well in general convo, but the examiners screwed me over in the detailed study - they changed the structure of how they asked the questions. Like towards the end they asked about good/bad points, but then after that they asked what did you learn from resource #3..... I was like wtf arent we suppose to finish.... then did opinions....
But overall ok... Wouldve like to have been more composed during the detailed study tho.
Yeah, i think i did alright. I had two female native speakers, and they were pretty nice. I understood all of their questions, but i think i stuffed up some responses in the general. And for the detailed, i completely forgot a whole section of my script!! I kept stuttering... But they seemed understanding and so just moved on to the next question. At least they followed all of my linking sentences~
It seemed really fast. When they said that it was time to go, I thought it was some kind of joke at first so I kept staring at them...
But overall, I think I did better than I would ever have thought. But now that i think over it, i can't really seem to remember much in detail. Maybe it's a subconscious PTSD thing blocking my memory b/c it was too traumatic? lol.
