Final Reminders for Oral Tomorrow

After weeks of preparation, tomorrow is the BIG day... the oral for almost the whole class. This is what I want to share that I think may help you, no matter big or small.

1. Have a positive mindset.

If you are wanting to do well, have the positive mindset. Drop all the negatvie thoughts like "I will fail" or "I didn't prepare enough". Even if you did not do enough preparation, there is little you can do to remedy the situation. So, just have the poisitve mindset and tell yourself that "I am going to win".

2. Have a Good night rest

If you are reading this post later than 11.30pm, then you better go and sleep after reading this post. DO NOT BE STUPID. I will call a spade a sapde (quote edwin heng). Be realistic and sleep early. You think it does not matter? Well, if you are not well-rested, you will not be able ot give your 100% concentration and focus on the oral topics and passages and picture tomorrow. Furthermore, it is in the afternoon. So dont be stupid and sleep early.

3. Project yourself with confidence and clarity

During the oral, imagine you are Barack Obama, Martin Luther King or Lee Kuan Yew. Speak with the best clarity and conviction you have in yourself. Imagine that this oral is going ot decide your fate (thought it really will). Be sure of yourself.

4. DO NOT repeat your mistakes.

It is a mistake to repeat yourt mistake. Ironic? No it isnt;'. Be realistic. If you miss over one or two words in youtr passage, move on! As long as it sounds correct gramatically, chances are that you will not get penalised that much.

5. TELL YOURSELF THAT THE MARKS OF 35-40 IS YOURS!!!

While others worry about how much marks they get, tell yourtself, that no matter how much you got in the past oral, tomorrow, you ARE going to get full marks. YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK BETTER THAN PEOPLE LIKE MITCHELL (and maybe me. :-) ) Tell yourself that you CAN DO IT!!!


Have faith in yourself. Whatever will be will be. There is no point to try to transform yourself into an "A" grade 10- hours before the exam. Leave it up to yourt best abilities to speak like an eloquent speaker.

Trust in yourself and you will succeed. ALL THE BEST!
