Frustrated :( On my school every years we can do the Cambridge exam to get leves... you know.. A1 A2 B1 B2 etc etc, i'm interested in getting B2 so last week i went to the languages departament of my school, asking for the B2 exam the recepcionist started to speak to me in english, and when i speak in english with someone who i don't know i get nervous it's like if my mind said to me "No, now fuck you i'm not going to help you, good luck, bye!" so i started to get stuck with my tounge and i repeated the same word again and again, it was such unconfortable moment that i got frustrated, plus i couldn't understand her, and suddenly a english teacher appeared and asked me why i wanted to try with the B2 exam, and it happened me again... i felt terrible, yes i know, i have to improve a lot, but i'm sure i can learn more english i'm goign to try it hard. But currently, they think i can't speak english and i can't get the B2 level, i don't care what they think about me, i'm sure i can do it :'( any advice to me? Thanks!

Ok. Memorize 2 or 3 sentences to get you started. When you walk in, YOU start talking in English. "Hello, Misses Smith (or whatever her name). I am here to take the B2 exam. I would really appreciate your help with this." (Smile) Memorize this sentence until you can say it in your sleep. Then say it faster and faster. Next time you approach the receptionist you will surprise her with your accuracy and speed. She'll have to ask YOU what you said. Then you can repeat it again more slowly. Next - for the teacher: "I feel I am prepared to take the B2 exam. I am looking forward to taking this test." (Smile) Memorize this one, too. You can use these phrases no matter what they say to you. Those sentences will get you the test. The rest is up to you. (How's that for a plan.)

My mind says the same thing to me sometimes. It´s common to get nervous when you have to speak to someone you don´t know. You have a great attitude for learning and that is the MOST important quality to have. Keep learning!
