English Exams

In the writing exam Everyone had shaking hands. Should you use past, present or future tense? If you say you're not nervous it's just pretense. In the listening exam Everyone thinks "I must do better" In the long task, you find -- "Oh no! A formal letter!" And you mutter miserably "What's the matter?" In the reading exam Your legs are shaking so badly you cannot stand. There're difficult words that you don't understand And suddenly you brian turns into mush and sand. In the oral exam You're fighting to have your say After all it's not like chatting with your pals any other day Your confidence starts to fade. -- Dedicated to everyone sitting for the HKCEE or the HKALE :) Hang in there my friends This misery WILL end!
