♥ When language is seldomly used...
I have just sat for my language exam and I tell you, that if you seldom use the language, you will find it hard to answer. And one more thing, today was my first day sitting for an exam after what, like 8 years? Tuning back and gearing up yourself for an exam is exhausting and I have forgotten how it feels like until today.
I'd advice those planning to take language proficiency exams - polish up your skills. I mean start to scan-read, listen to tapes or hearing aids that can familiarize you with all kinds of accents and the best part is that, talk slow. Don't rush on your points and your speed of speech. I was given 2 minutes to talk about the thing I love - shopping! But I finished up in less the 2 minutes! I have already used all the points given and elaborated it quite long. And there was no hmmms,aaahs what-so-ever. But I ran out of ideas on the simplest favourite topic! How pathethic right?
So, all the best!!
