chinese oral today, I think I did badly.

很多人都說我可以不用準備口試,進去隨便講講就可以了。
他們真的錯了。
基礎再怎麼穩固的人,難免都需要一點點的複習。
我們在很久前就知道口試的詳細日期,不過我一直沒有去準備。
現在我真的很後悔。
我深知自己的口試能力到哪裡。
就如老師說的,我的表達沒有問題。
可是,我的內容方面就不行了。
會話題目本來有很多東西可以講的,不過我就是說不出什麽。
對自己實在太失望了。
我其實可以做得更好的。
不要為打翻的牛奶而哭泣。
不過我實在覺得可惜。
咳……一切太遲了。
成績已經寫下去了,說不定今天/明天就打進系統了。
我的高級華文的成績的一部份,就這麼定了。
當初,我特別的呵護我的喉嚨。
在這之前,我的喉嚨的狀態不是很好。
沒想到,今天我的喉嚨沒事,反而是我的腦袋沒「呵護」。

In other news,
Heard news from BL today that one of my friends is not doing well in her studies.
Really felt shocked. I did know previously that her results weren't the best, but I never expected it to be this way. From what BL said of her (which he should know best because he sits beside her in class), she would sleep often in class. Teachers do not care anymore.
I really feel bad, for not knowing earlier. Maybe I could have done something to help her. Like, maybe persuade her to study or something like that. I know very well that chances are slim of her suddenly improving. Still, miracles do happen, and I could have tried to have a miracle.
Exams are next week; judging from what BL said, I don't think she is prepared at all. Perhaps, she hasn't even started revision. I really feel worried for her. Although this year is my streaming year, and I should be worried for myself first. But then again, it seems like her situation is worse than me. BL said something about retaining. I don't think (or rather, I hope not) she will be that bad as to be retained, but if she is, I think it's not going to be good on her.
We've heard it all too often: the retainee will lose motivation, etc. Then he / she will not be able to focus in class too. And then it'll be bad. Again. Now, I'm really fretting. How can I help her? I really think there must be someway that she can be helped, right?
I guess I can only hope for her then.
