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!
