    Running Out of Time

    I guess it may be too late to say these words. But I really feel horrible to count down the days rest.

    I'm toooooooo afraid of the speaking section. You should prepare a topic in 15s then talk about yourself for 45s. Or you should read a material around 300 words in 45s (notes taking time included)  then listen to 2min conversation, or partial lecture, and finally you got 30s to prepare for a 60s oral conclusion. You'll find 60s is too short for the latter part and 45s is too long for the former part. It's not funny at all.

    It's such a piece of cake for me to communicate in daily English or to write this kind of blogging English. But some speaking topics are nightmare to me, which, even they allow me to finish it in Chinese, make my brain in totally blank.
    How can one who never watch TV tell which TV program he like most?
    How the hell can one who hates sports tell which sport is his favourite?

    Now it's time. It's time!

     

    Schedule

    Have several conversations with people who know my decision. Thank You Very Much Buddies! You'd strongly enhanced my courage!
    Especially CJJ, who gave me very good advice on choosing textbooks, way and schedule of application, and so on.
