I just had an oral exam on Friday morning. It was so scary! It was only 15 minutes long, consisting of a 5 minute speech comparing England and Japan, then 10 minutes of questions.
I made a point of giving a pretentious speech about English Class society versus Japanese social hierarchy, which is all well and good when you're writing the speech from the comfort of your desk with a big dictionary beside you. But then in the oral examination, the examiner started asking me "So, in your speech you spoke about English Class society, what exactly do you mean by this? could you describe this more?" and OH MY GOD IT WAS SO SCARY! But at the same time, I did enjoy it as well. A rollercoaster of emotion! I was stuttering so much, oh dear!
