GCSE Edexcel Chinese 23/05/14

Reading was easy except the question about why the swimmer was moved or whatever. But in listening I swear they never used to speak that fast? I flunked the final question tho didn't understand half of it but that's my bad for not revising

yeah, i got something about how she had big hands and feet?? i wasnt really sure though because it seemed like a really weird answer LOL.

i flopped the last question on the listening too, guessed most of it :frown:

well, if it makes you feel any better, the grade boundaries for last years reading and listening were 30/40 for A* so hopefully, if the same amount of fluent speakers took it this year as they did last year, it'll be okay :biggrin:
