[Programvare]

Yes, I am. Actually it is today! Merry friday!

[Essem]

Friday already? Time to go to bed...

[Tunky]

Yeah. That's true. It's friday now. I'm free from school tomorrow. Are you going to stay up all night and practice? Then when you're going to have your presentation you'll fall asleep.

[Programvare]

Yeah, I probably will. I think i'll go to bed when I feel that i know it by heart.

[Tunky]

I know it's hard. I had a presentation about Sigmund Freud. It was in norwegian, but it's not that different. I practiced and practiced, but I saw a little too much on my papers. I got a 6, though. I got "high" (high - medium - low) on every point exept one. I saw too much on my papers, a medium.

 

EDIT: Nooo. That was wrong. It was the english mini-talk I got one medium. The Freud-presentation was all high. She said it was like if she had done it herself.

Presentations are so easy, because if you just read it once, you will relate the things you are going to say next, with the things just said. Easy peasy.

[Programvare]

Yeah, when you have the paper in front of you, it's hard to not look. The best is to learn it by heart, which I intend to do now.

[Tunky]

Yep. I learned it by heart at home, but when I got to school, I just had to look (the english mini-talk)

[Programvare]

Too bad, I will get a good grade I'm sure.

 

A few points:

My text is very good

My intonation is pretty good ( british english)

I have a good flow

There is very much correctness

There is good connection in the text

[Tunky]

If what you just said is right, you will get a very good grade. Is this an oral exam?

[Programvare]

Yep, it's the final exam for 10th grade, and it will be on my school report. In fact tomorrow is the last school day with "home work". Going to be pretty awesome when i'm finished.

[Tunky]

Good luck. I hope you do as good as you think.

[Programvare]

Me 2, and if I don't i'm going to be angry at myself for not doing better

[Tunky]

Just do the best you can.

[Programvare]

Definately I will. At least I'll get a 5, but I'm really hoping to get a 6 with all the effort I've put into this!

[Tunky]

I think you will. It seems like you have practiced a lot.

 

Haha. Carl I. Hagen and a lawyer called Raja or something, almost fight in the radio studio. They argue a lot and almost shout at each other. It's funny to listen to them. They just give the fuck in the program-leader when he tries to speak.

[Zapticon]

If you speak as fluently and gramatically correct as you write you will definety get a 6, no doubt. An idea is to have some keywords written down to look at whenever you forget what to say. I have had some presentations where I have written down every single word I'm using in the presentation, and it's almost impossible to not look at the manuscript then! But I'm sure you already realise this.

 

Anyway, good luck!

Finished off my oral exam in nature study on Wednesday and it went pretty well, I thought at the time anyway. Have to wait one week or so for the result. Got my last and final exam in social studies on Tuesday.

 

Good luck with your exams.

[Programvare]

Thank you. I'm awefully tired after sleeping 3-4 hours tonight. I don't feel I know it by heart either

[Bonna86]

Oh, sorry to hear that then. Going through your notes can be helpful, try to memorise what you can. And try not to worry too much, take a deep breath and tell yourself "it will be okay". I know all about how awful it can be, I've had to struggle with nerves ever since secondary school and I still can't seem to shake it off. But for one reason or another, I was quite calm on Wednesday, which actually took be a bit by surprise as it were. Well, that's how it is sometimes, I guess.
