    Mid-Term English Exam Breakdown
    Hey guys! I'm here to give you all the inside scoop on our recently completed mid-term English exam. I know a lot of you found certain parts tough, so let me walk through each section and share my thoughts. Hopefully it'll help make things clearer!
    Reading Comprehension
    We had two reading passages to get through for this part. The first was about the history of the Olympics which I actually found pretty interesting. The questions focused a lot on picking out specific details and facts from the passage. My advice would be to read carefully and underline or highlight any years, numbers, names etc. That makes it easier to locate the answers quickly.
    The second passage was trickier in my opinion. It was discussing environmental issues and climate change. There was some tricky vocabulary like "anthropogenic" and "mitigation strategies." If you didn't know those terms already, it would have really thrown you off. For comprehension questions like these, skim through first to get the gist before going into the finer details.
    Grammar
    Ugh, the am I right? Those sentence correction questions are the worst! You have to be so precise in identifying errors. I missed a couple thinking the sentences were okay, only to realize later there were minor punctuation or verb tense issues. Pro tip: DOUBLE CHECK each underlined part no matter how confident you feel.
    The sentence restructuring questions were rough too. You have to literally rebuild the sentence from scratch based on the prompts. It really tests your grammar knowledge to the max. If you struggled with those, I'd recommend doing more practice questions of that type.
    Writing
    There were two writing tasks - the easier one was writing an email to a friend about your favorite movie. The key there is using informal language and conventions you'd actually use when writing to a friend. Contractions, casual expressions, that sort of thing.
    The harder writing task asked us to discuss the importance of learning a foreign language. This required more formal language and tone. You had to structure clear arguments and provide specific examples to support your points. Time management was crucial as we only had 30 minutes to write it.
    My advice would be to very quickly outline 2-3 main points you want to make in the intro. Then you can expand on each one in the body paragraphs before concluding. Having that basic structure helps maximize the time.
    Vocabulary
    Ah vocabulary, the make-or-break section for many of us! There were some really obscure words being tested this time around. Words like "soliloquy" and "serendipity" came
completely out of left field. Unless you're a total vocab nerd, I'm betting most people struggled or had to guess on those.
    The vocabulary questions ranged from filling in blanks, to matching words to definitions, to identifying roots/prefixes/suffixes. My two cents? Make vocabulary practice a weekly habit rather than just cramming at the last minute. Create flashcards, look for pattern words, and incorporate new words into your daily vocabulary slowly but surely.
    Speaking
    We had to give a short individual presentation about our favorite teacher and why we appreciate them. Preparation is key for these speaking sections. You may feel okay winging it, but having a few notecards with key points jotted down goes a long way.
    Speak slowly, clearly, and don't be afraid of short pauses to gather your thoughts. The judges are listening for proper grammar, vocabulary, and overall coherence - not just how quickly you can ramble through it. If you did mess up, don't get flustered. Maintain that confident body language and facial expressions.
    Listening
    Man oh man, those pourquoi sont-ils si difficiles?! Okay, let me break it down. There were a few different types - listening to conversations to answer questions, listening for specific details like figures or names, and my personal nemesis - putting pictures in the correct order based on the audio instructions.
    The conversations tried to trick us by having multiple speakers and side commentary to throw us off the key points. For those, focus only on what directly answers the questions, and try to tune out the rest. As for listening for details, make sure to write down ANY number, date, or proper noun you hear as it's being said. Don't risk missing it!
    And those blasted picture I must have gotten the sequence mixed up at least twice. The only advice I can give is to visualize what you're hearing as clearly as possible. Create a mental storyboard of the steps as they're described. It's not easy, but mad props to anyone who nailed those!
