The English exam for new semester I heard a bad new this afternoon--my university will ask everyone to take an English exam at the beginning of next semester. I really dislike exams, but I have to prepare it since I have to take it. The exam will have two parts: one is for listening, the other is writing. For listening, I can understand very standard voices such as BBC or VOA as they speak slowly. If I familiar with one topic, I can understand more when they speak really fast. But it's really hard for me to grasp the idea of people's casual talk, like TV shows, movies etc. They are really quite fast and with some idioms! For writhing, my vocabulary is a big problem. I often would like to say something but can't find the exact word or sentence patterns. The same for speaking. So I guess I should learn more words and not only know how to say or spell them, but also learn the way to use them. I'll try to write more if possible. I'm so lazzy. Every time I told myself to write something today, I failed. But this time, I'll try, because I have exams now. Let's see exam will work or not haha. Thank you for help me correct them, many thanks!!!

The English exam for new semester

I heard a some bad new this afternoon--my university will ask everyone to take an English exam at the beginning of next semester. I really dislike exams, but I have to prepare for it since I have no choice but to take it. The exam will have two parts: one is for listening, the other is writing. 


For listening, I can understand very standard voices such as BBC or VOA as they speak slowly. If I am familiar with one a topic, I can understand more even when they speak really fast. But However it's really hard for me to grasp the idea of people's casual speech talk, like in TV shows, movies etc. They are really quite fast and with some frequent idioms!

For writing, my vocabulary is a big problem. I often would like to say something but can't find the exact word or sentence patterns. The same for speaking. So I guess I should learn more words and not only know how to say or spell them, but also learn the way to use them.

I'll try to write more if possible. I'm so lazzy. Every time I told myself to write something today, I failed. But this time, I'll try, because I have exams now. Let's see exam will work or not haha.

the last sentence in yellow.. I'm not sure if you mean 'see if you pass or not'?

'see if exam will work' doesnt make sense.

maybe try 'let's see if my hard work helps me pass or not, haha' ?

 

apart from that, excellent writing!
