09-10 March, I had a Delf test.
1st day: compréhension lire(35mins) et orale(about 25 mins), and production écrite(45mins)
I took it in my university at 1.40 pm. When I read some afternotes of people who already taken the text, they said I could seat anywhere I wanted to seat, but there was name tags on the desks. I was worried cause my seat was behind the class, but there were 6 speakers in the ceiling so there was no problem of listening.
I arrived 5 mimutes early and we had to wait utill they finish checking our ID card.
First part was listening. OMG! It wasn't that fast but I rarely understood. The quality of the sound wasn't good enough but clear enough to listen. The problem was only my ears. I hope I would get at least 5 points out of 25 points. 5 is the minimum score that I should take from each part and I can pass the test if I get more than 50.
The second part was reading. Actually, all 3 parts are in the same book (or prints), so it's meaningless to devide those two parts - reading and writing. As soon as I finish listening part, I can start reading or writing. If you are not good at writing, you can spend less time on reading and more time on writing.
Anyway, reading wasn't that difficult. There are 2 parts in reading and the first part was comparing 4 hotels for vacance, and check those information on the table given. 2 things I'm not sure about, but it was easy. It was the same type that I studied on CLE delf. Second part was reading an article and finding the information accoring to questions.
The theme of writing part wasn't difficult too though I'm not sure if I wrote well. It was about writing my experience in abroad. I studied for a while in the U.K, so I just wrote about my life there, but I don't know what others wrote.
2nd day: production orale
Speaking test! The most scary part. I went to Alliance francais for it. I went there untill last month, so the circumstance didn't make me nervous. I forgot to bring my convocation so an information lady made me print there. Stupid me.
There are 3 parts in speaking. 1 - present myself, 2 - roleplaying, 3 - read 2 articles then choose one, and express pros and cons.
I didn't really prepare my presentation cause I don't know what the examiner will ask me about. The examiner was a director of Alliance francais in Daegu. She started to ask if I had a brother or sister then asked some of my personal life. Wasn't difficult, still I don't know if I said correctly.
Roleplaying was a bit difficult. The situation was, I forgot to give a document to embassy and had to ask (or beg) to a person in there. I said I was a student and forgot to give a copy of my identification card for scholarship. Well.. that's I wanted to say, but I couldn't remember the word, so I repeated saying 'identifique'. She was helpful though. She helped to continue the story. Ahhh...
Last part was about life in island. I example Jeju Island in Korea, and she knew that. So it was easy to keep speaking.
I stuied for about 4 weeks - 1 intensive week, 3 lazy weeks. So listening was still hard for me and I found that I have to memorise so many words! In the end, language is all about words. Grammar is just part of it.
So from today, I have to apply for a job. AGAIN!
Life's harsh for a girl in this country and I'm so struggling but I'll survive hopelly.
