On being Asian

[calibre]

So today my class planned a boycott of our Indonesian oral exam - we would just go in and insist that we didn't know it was today, easy as. Unfortunately this flopped spectacularly because we hadn't fully integrated everyone into 'our class' and the Real Third Years turned up brandishing their scripts... not cool. Sidetracking we call them the Real

How do you prounounce "Ibu Nenen"?

My oral exam is like a verbal comprehension test - give a summary of the article and answer questions posed by Ibu-Ibu who always spring the most expected questions but am always at a loss for words - so I ended up tersenyum a lot in my exam (dan waktu Ibu-Ibu berkata-kata yang saya tidak mengerti, saya selalu tersenyum >.<)

Your class sounds like an extremely big class...

We had to prepare a pidato, although i'd really prefer an oral exam like yours, it tests our mastery of the language better. We had that in Salatiga and i just kept talking (and going off topic) instead of banyak tersenyum.. they were looking for our ability to talk rather than our ability to answer the question anyway :P anyway my class isn't that big, perhaps about 10 people?

I perform better in written tests. My class this semester had 18 people but we had 2 separate sessions for each of the 3 2-hour tutorials - one of which I was late for EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL :( hopefully the banyak tersenyum helped...
