An Unpleasant Experience
I experienced an unpleasant English competition this morning…
Firstly, the listening part didn't have the questions printed in the test paper as usual. I didn't know whether to listen to or browse the choices, and kept changing my focus between them. The result was I managed neither.
Secondly, when I first saw the composition topic I thought it was easy, yet I failed to convey my ideas in the end. I don't know what was wrong. Vaguely I think it was due to that I couldn't think in English. The reasoning patern, which contains points and examples orderly, is so unfamiliar to me. I can't think logically as an native speaker (or so I thought) do, but only in my mother tongue.
Nevertheless it showed me my problem and pointed out a direction in my English learning. Though I feel disappointed, it was a worthy experience after all.

Vaguely Possibly, I think it was due to that I couldn't think in English. The reasoning pattern, which contains points and examples orderly (意思不清楚,是不是 'to be arranged in order '? ) , is so unfamiliar to me. I can't think logically as an native speaker (or so I thought) do, but only in my mother tongue.
