Jap Oral interviews!!

[IntoTheNewWorld]

my structure for DS was causes, problems, solutions, but..
e.g. in DS, I said "aging society has lots of causes", to which the examiner responded, "what are the problems associated with aging society?", so I had to skip one of the reasons which I had prepared, go to problems, go to solutions, then go BACK to causes, so structure turned out a bit strange. I also wanted to talk about Japan's labour force and declining birth rate, but wasn't asked unfortunately. But our teacher did say to expect that they'd ignore links a fair bit, so although it was unpleasant, wasn't entirely unexpected.
in kaiwa, i'd said "my sister is in a choir", and then was asked "in the future, what job would you like to have?" - i'm sure with kaiwa that you'll be able to answer all the questions, it's just that it's hard to anticipate the order. there was other stuff too, but i've kind of forgotten..
ugh, i realised that i misinterpreted the last question that i was asked, so not happy about that since it's probably not the best note to end on, lol. though i can't change anything now.
most of the examiners, like mine, seem to have been nice, although one of my friends said everytime she made a mistake, one of her examiners whom she said was rather unfriendly immediately seemed to "pounce" and frantically jot the error down which really unnerved her.. although this might just be her being paranoid, LOL.

thanks for the info, I'm sure you did well =] It's great that it's over eh?

wow mine is in 3 days, and to make it worse, i've gotten sick. GREAT! i've got my DS organised but no where near organised for general convo, i suck severely. like to the question, how many people are there in your family? i just answer in my family there are 6 people. Dad, Mum, Older sister, Younger brother, Younger sister and myself. Then like do you have any pets? yes i have pets, a cat and a dog. (i actually have 2 dogs but can never remember where i add in the number of them). haha.

Well if they ask "how many people are there in your family", you would have to answer there are 6 people eh? =] It's all good. Um, for the 2 dogs do you mean you don't know where to use the small animal counter?

Wouldn't it be something like this: 猫を一匹と犬を二匹飼っている。
I dunno, I'm just guessing... >.>

[IntoTheNewWorld]

Nah other people have mentioned it too...And the Exam slip definitely looks legit (or someone had too much free time on their hands...?).

Good memories of Japan

Anyway, how long (ji) is everyone's script for kaiwa? After getting owned I have decided that winging it without a script was a stupid idea, and am in the process of writing a super script >_>

[Saraime2003]

If your problem is very severe, maybe you should contact your school to see if you can have any special consideration for the exam. I dunno if this is possible though. Get well soon!

[moshi]

that really, really sucks. i guess you have no choice but to try and get through the exam if you want some sort of mark, but hopefully the supervisors will understand your situation if you explain it to them? if your teacher's coming with you, that might help in explaining..
all i can say is, good luck, and i'm sorry that something like this had to happen to you at such a bad time

[dejan91]

That's terrible news!! Hope you get better before your exam tomorrow. Just drink heaps of water and get a good nights rest and hopefully you should be fine!

Yes my oral is at the tudor in box hill too. Dw it's legit

[Saraime2003]

lol yeah. my teachers not coming, and i have no idea how to explain it. I'm going to call my school tomorrow and tell my co ordinators n see what i should do. also going to call the doctors incase i need to get an appointment for special consideration. lol i've applied for special consideration for every exam i've done so far. (Bio last year, both exam, this yrs psych exam... lol grrr...

omg, I feel so bad for you . Look what you should do, since it is an exam, there are tablets available which stop the diarrhoea (sorry for the gross images), the earlier you take them the better, but they don't take long to fall into full swing lol. And some even read on the packet that if the "loose bowel" still occurs, you take 1 tablet each time until it stops.

Let us know how it goes. And best of luck.
