Since the beginning of this second semester I've been ill on and off so often that I felt I always looked slow and uninterested in class. Somehow I felt it's given an impression that my passion for the language had faded as I think I seemed a little not so active compared to the first semester.
The passion is there as strong as it ever was but I think my effort isn't burning a lot this time. I'd say it's because it's been a rather hectic period of time for me, besides not being well physically, though I wouldn't mention in details yet until things are completely settled.
Anyway, it seemed to me that our lecturer - who previously gave me an impression that he thinks I'm one of those talented students (or some other terms that mean the same) - have recently made me feel that he's somehow lost trust in me. Maybe it's just me, but I know for myself my performance during classes speaks that way.So, I decided to let my test results by the end of this phase speak!
Some may know that I scored a perfect mark in the last test, surprisingly (I was also told that I was the first among our lecturer's students that far to score 100%). It's not like I never thought I wanted to maintain the good grades but today I feel it. Probably a 100% in a beginner's test is easy, like a 100% in a first grader's isn't difficult. Of course the difficulty increases as we advance but I guess being able to maintain a good performance isn't impossible, is it?
Yong Dae got two titles at the US Open last week!So did his partner Ha Jung Eun. :D
I just thought I'd put in some effort to at least do well in the test(especially in the oral section) a few weeks later. I'm trying not to push myself too much into getting a 100%, maybe a 95++ will be fine enough. As long as I can prove to the lecturer and to myself that I still am catching up well this time. :)
So yes, let's not be me because if I were me I wouldn't be doing much revision for tests/exams! Aha.
meh if you are good enough you will be able to keep the scores. my minimal band is 80 la, at least an A for my Japanese, but ICLS questions are somewhat easier comparatively, even though we are in advance 98/100 is still possible, like my last advance 5 test.
ReplyDeleteabout the losing interest, no worries. I've been there, done that. It may seemed like it, later on you will find out that you can't live without it,*if you have the passion*. it just sticks on to you naturally, like how english did.
Bin, yeah I noticed their questions are easier. Okay, thanks for saying a 98 in advance 5 is possible. Makes me more confident now. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not worrying about losing interest. I'm just afraid my teacher will think so. HAHAH. He often asks things like 'hmm how come today so quiet?' hah!
