Essay & Composition Writing

My first exam after a year of English hard work

Hi, I am Pua. It has been a long time I didn't log in the forum. I sat an English examination this morning. It was my first English test after a year of hard work of English learning. Due to my little improvement, the exam seemed a little bit easier than before.

But I still failed to manage my emotions well in the exam. Nervous and stress was almost knocked me down. During the writing paper, my hand was awfully stiff. It took minutes to move. I didn't know what messages it was trying to tell. I assumed that high expectation is the answer. I was startled because my mind was kept empty in the first half an hour during the paper. Maybe I have forgotten of how to write an essay. Instead of wasting time, I tried to refresh my mind and treated me as a journalist who was on a duty to write an article. In that moment, both of my mind and hand seemed to get the message. They started working. Even though the essays have been done, but a sad thing is my time is not allowed me to re-check the essays.

I have tried to carry out the best of my performance. Someone came to me and asked ARE YOU CONFIDENT TO SCORE A GOOD RESULT THIS TIME. I didn't know how to answer the question. Perhaps it will only be called by the examiner. Emotion: smile

My friends, if you have noticed the grammar errors in my short-funny-article, please help correct them. Your help is sure will help me move to the next level of English proficiency. One more thing, can you leave me a command of my article?(POOR, LOWER-INTERMEDIATE, UPPER-INTERMEDIATE OR ADVANCE ) Thank you.

" instead of " Nervous and stress was almost knocked me down". Maybe also "half hour", "on duty", "my time not allowed me". In despite of those little imperfections, your english seem really pretty good !

Hi, i'm late to answer and my english is far to be perfect but i think it would rather be "nervousness and stress almost knocked me down..." instead of " Nervous and stress was almost knocked me down".

Maybe also "half hour", "on duty", "my time not allowed me".

In despite of those little imperfections, your english seem really pretty good !
