So, I'll be taking the TOEFL pretty soon - I'd been postponing it for a while, because (a) it's only valid two years (though I've got to admit that it makes sense) and (b) it's not exactly cheap either - so this afternoon I did a trial test a friend had got for me.

I find amusing (and telling) enough that the only part of it I had real troubles it was the one where I was required to answer a question and/or give a personal opinion. The problem wasn't the answer itself - but that I had only 60 seconds to give it. Dude, I'd barely started by then! (You also have about 20 seconds before that, to organize your thoughts and plan your answer. Most of those seconds were a complete blank. Thinking before I speak? How do you go about doing that?)

I COULDN'T EVEN FINISH A PHRASE. D: One that had a complete meaning, at least. Why, oh WHY do they force people to think over their answers? I'm pants at that!! That's the bad thing about the internet-based test - if I had actual examiners listening to me talk, rather than having to record my answer on tape, I might be able to wing it more easily ;P

BUT OMG THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!!!!111!!1! *CLINGS*

Man, I would administer your TOEFL anyday~ *waggles eyebrows*

I wonder if there's an "extra points for pie" category?

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha and four hours WOULD SO NOT BE ENOUGH. ♥

I hope not! If there is, I'm not getting 'em!

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

But even still, I'm sure we could make the best of the time constraints~ ;D


Don't give up on yourself (and pie) so easily! D:

Aw, sweetheart. You know that if anyone come over to tell us time's up, they'd take a look, turn around and leave us alone. *g*

Yes. Because I am KNOWN for resisting pie. And sharing pie. Yep. Very very well known. Never ate more than a slice of pie all my life, in fact. :P

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

True! Unless they stay to watch. For educational purposes, of course. ;D

You are known for being selfish and keeping the pie all to yourself! :(

And then someone else would come over to see what the first examiner is doing, and then the third will come to check on the second, and sooner than you know with we'll have to start selling tickets because come on, it's too good to be free!

But-- but-- but-- it's pie! It calls to me! I'm too soft-hearted to give it the cold shoulder and the closed mouth!! ;_;

And the TOEFL exam.. nay, the world as we know it will come to an end! D:


MAYBE THEN YOU NEED TO CHANNEL YOUR INNER "SPEAK NO EVIL" MONKEY! He could use something to do, the poor thing..

*gasps* That's it! The perfect way to conquer the world! WE HAVE FOUND IT!!

Well, if he has his mouth full, he sure wouldn't speak, evil or no evil. He's an educated monkey.

---oh, okay. Now I know what he's been doing all along.

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

It's so simple it's BRILLIANT! *MOLESTS*



AND THAT MONKEY HAS HAD US FOOLED ALL ALONG!!!! >:00000 PIE-THEIF!!!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

That's right. We're not "fondling" anymore. WE'RE MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

See? See? You kept blaming me, and it was the monkey all along!!! ;_;

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! *MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE* ;D


And it's YOUR monkey so it's still YOUR fault! >:P

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Butbutbut! *lip wobbling* I don't know how to housebreak eeeeeeet!!

[monophobia.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'll housebreak it! I'll housebreak it so hard the other TOEFL judges (and the world) won't know what hit them! D:
