Prayers Please! I'M DOING ORAL this week - my first time.

[María Gálvez-Villalobos]

Hello friends,

I know I can count whit you for help in any moment when I need some morals supports and espiritual helps and this is one of that moments.

I'm very nervios too. This is my first time doing oral whit englishman so I would apreciate your prayers pleae, I need all the helps what I can get.

Like you're know, I'm doing a enlgish course on a lenguage academy.
Well, the reazon is that I'm prepare for the European B1 Level english exam called exam which is count for help get jobs and stuffs cos many employators nowadays are asking you for this type of tittles and cualifications.

But I've got the ORal part of exam on Thursday and I'm really no very confidence at all cos I'm think I'm no very good whit the spoke english (I know cos sometimes my teacher say me 'Eh??' a lot). In fact if I'm honesty I'd say is prety owful my english when I'm speak sometimes although my sister say is no so bad, but I'm think she just try be nice.

So anyway, I've got he wrotten and listening bit of the exam on Saturday and I think that parts will be OK cos is a private thing the wrotten part of the exam and I suppose these private parts is always easier cos they're just for youselve and is less pressure in you to 'perform'.

But eh oral part there is much more pressures in you to perform well and I need to pass this if I wanna pass the whole exam (was no cheap either - €100) and OK my teacher say me my oral is quite good cos I can get my ideas out and stuff but I think he just say I'm good at oral cos he like me and he say is fascniating to lisetn me when I start talking so he think the oral will be OK if I do it right and relax when I go in the room.

'Just be youselve and it'll be fine, your oral is getting better everyday.' he say.

That's what I'm afraid of, cos I sometimes just forget to stop.

So please pray for me friends and help God make me do good Oral.

Thanks.

YIC, Mari

Mari, I am sure that you will be able to get your tongue around it ok. I am wishing you the best of luck If you don't think it's going well just think of me right behind you. And remember if it doesn't go as you want don't take it as a blow. Jobs will still be available to you I'm sure.

I understand what you are saying, I am suppressed this is her first time but I think she has lead a sheltered life up until now. But I am sure she will do well as long as she keeps herself open. If the worse comes to the worst, and you get tongue tied just spit it out.

Re: Prayers Please! I'M DOING ORAL this week - my first time.

Thank you genitlemen for your moral supports.
I will try think of you all and all your advises when I'm doing it.
In fact, I would rather have you all there whit me for that I be felt suported during the ordeal.

I'll try and remember what you say.
Is nice to be felt apreciatively and have all this love from people - thank you!!

I hope I don't dry up during the interactive part of the oral though.

Just try to maintain control and start slowly. When you find the flow it will get more relaxed and you will eventually get there, no doubt about it.

Actually I'm no sure what you're mean whit this?
Surely is bad manners to espit during oral no?

No very ladylike or polite. ¿No?

It would be more lady like not to, but if you are having trouble you may have no choice.

I supose yes perhaps. I just hope I don't get over-exciting and start eswallowing my words cos they might no understand me if I eswallow them.

I'm getting really reallly very very nervios now. I find out later who my partners for the oral are. I hope is only me and one other estudiant, cos is a lot harder whit 3 people. Is more hard to get the attention in a trio so I prefer just in pairs.

I think this could to be messy if I'm get very nervios.

Maybe you should try it first with some other people, like practice or something. Head to the streets and ask some tourist if you can practice your oral with them. They'll no english better than the other mexicans that live in your town so they'll be the best way to get a head.

Even if your instructor says you're talking is fascinating, I still think you should bone up on your oral skills, so it wont be too hard, when it comes.

Pretty good advice brother. However, the problem with Alicante is that it's full of Brits, and particularly the lower end of the social scale (i.e. Lager Louts, Poor people on Ryanair flights, Cockneys, Scouse gits etc) so the actual standard of the oral Mari might get is pretty unhygienic to say the least. Rather hazardous oral and comprehension would be difficult no matter how much she uses her head.

Mari, I recommend you try chatting in English with your sisters Montse and Lola whose English is rather better than yours from what you told me. Make sure the chat is Bible based and any unGodliness that might have crept in otherwise will not do so.

In any case, use your mouth more usefully and pray beforehand. If your partner in the oral is male, then let him take the lead. Unless of course, he's a heathen, in which case just do your usual if things get sticky.

Trust me. It'll come to you.

Re: Prayers Please! I'M DOING ORAL this week - my first time.

Well THANK YOU ALL for all the advises! I will reflex and try use my head when I'm doing this oral, so please keep to pray for me!

I cannot beliebe this!? Is this a test God!? Why! Why me!? Why, from all the persons in Alicante must be Julio doing oral whit me?! I knew he was in a academy of english but I never have no idea he was gonna do this exam.

Can't this harlot cousin of me stay out my life or what!?
I'm no gonna be able concentrating on oral knowing Macarena is gonna know how bad I did it!

This is owfull.


Mari.

You need to put your hellbound slut of a sister to the back of your mind; you have a job to do. You need to be very friendly with Julio to make him feel good. If he feels good, you feel good, and you pass your exam. Even if you have a bitter taste in your mouth about your sisters affair with him, you need to keep looking him in the eyes, keep smiling and be confident.

If this fails then who cares? As a woman you don't need to get a job anyway, as long as your English reading is OK then you can read the Bible, get to Heaven, everyones a winner.

Except for your family and Julio, who will all perish.

It may seem like a lot to take on Maria. I know. But remember, given persistence and a bit of work, you can have an amazing oral experience regardless of the partner.

Know that your partner is as nervous as you. If you work together, you can come to a great finish. If you are too nervous, you may finish too soon and mix all your words up. Just relax and let it come naturally. It will all be very fluid.

The more you overthink this the harder it gets. And while taking on hard things is commendable, there is no need to make it any harder than it already is.

The more you think in English, the easier it is to speak it. It is how I speak Spanish. I do not translate into Spanish from English, I think in Spanish. I remember my first Spanish oral. My teacher loved it. She was so pleased with how skilled I was with my mouth. She knew my hand work (written) was amazing, but when she saw what I could do with my mouth, she said that I was born to speak in all tongues. I have loved languages ever since.
