Waiting for Oral Exam
I still remember the day when I took part in the English oral examination.
That morning a great number of nervous and excited young examinees① stood in the hall, each waiting for his turn to have the oral exam. Some were talking loudly; others reciting and still others walking idly②.Like all these young people, I had a butterfly③ in my stomach, not knowing what to do and just sitting on the chair with my eyes fixed on the door of the room where I would have the exam. Every time the door opened and a young man came out of it, my heart would beat fast. Though I had prepared my lessons well, I still had some fears for it was the first time I had such an important oral exam and also I had had a cold the day before and my voice had become husky④ because of the bad cough. I was sitting on pins and needles⑤when suddenly my name was called.
I got up and walked quickly toward the door. Stopping in front of it, I hesitated about opening it. I felt my face red and my heart beat fast. Suddenly a kind and gentle voice rang in my ears,“Remember to be calm, not to be nervous and you can certainly pass the exam.”These words eased my mind and I calmed down. I bravely opened the door with confidence. I would certainly succeed.
