Listening tests and all that jazz
Listening tests..
Where we are introduced to indecisive shoppers...
Case 1:
"Hmm.. Okay then, I'll take the square-shaped clock with the black dial."
(You: Ready to circle the answer.)
"Oh wait!!! That round one with the white dial looks cuter. Maybe I should buy that one instead."
(You: Move to the other answer.)
"Oh well, never mind, my friend said he doesn't really like white. So, I'll just take the black one."
(You: Oh, god dammit!!)
Where people are forever lost and never get simple directions...
Case 2:
"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the fitness center?"
"Oh, go straight until you get to the crossroads. Turn left. Go past two traffic lights. Turn left into the third street you see after the second traffic lights. On your right, you'll see a green building."
(You: Finally! Pencil poised to choose the answer.)
"That's the bakery. And then turn...."
(You: -________-)
Where people are so forgetful and sucks at scheduling...
Case 3:
"Hey, so when are we gonna meet to study for the finals?"
"I think Tuesday afternoon is good. You?"
" Hmm.. I'm having lunch with a friend on Tuesday afternoon. How does Wednesday evening sound?"
"Let me see... I have class on second and third period. Then, a meeting until 4. So, I can make it around 5."
"Cool. So, it's Wednesday 5 pm then."
"Yeah..."
(You: Circle the answer.)
"Oh wait! I forgot I promised my friend to pick her up at the airport!"
(You: ARRRRRRRRRRRR!)
And not to mention those crackly phone conversations..
And those annoying people with incomprehensible accents..
And those people who speak so fast as if their words are being chased out of their mouths by a cheetah..
And the agony of trying to make it through a Japanese listening test alive..
Arrgh! I can't relive that painful computer test of last Thursday..
So, signing off for now.. :D
