Journal 1

“I am so nervous.” Rita said, “It’s my second time to take SAT. If I cannot get a high score, what should I do?”

“Calm down. You can take at least two more times; and you have 22 Chinese students with you.” I said.

Looking through the students who are going to take SAT, I feel nervous too. But I need to pretend I am cool in order to placate her mood. I feel more nervous when everyone start going in the classroom. Person by person, I hope I can go to a classroom with more international students. Fortunately, I go to a classroom with more Chinese students; I feel be ease after it.

“Put everything away, please. We are going to take the test.” The teacher said, “Fill in your information… Section 1, writing, begins…”

Looking the question, I start opening my mind and find some ideas. Words by words, I almost finish writing my essay.

At that time, “Put down your pencil.” The teacher said.

Are you kidding me? I thought. I almost finish my conclusion… I am on the last word. I was so sad about it.

After the third section, we have 5 minutes break. We gather together and try to let everyone feel relax. We get something to eat and talking about other things beside study.

“Go back to your sit, please…” The teacher said.

We start doing section 4. In the classroom, I feel the atmosphere is so depress; it makes me feel very nervous. SAT is one of the most important tests in our life. According to this test score, I can choose whatever college I want.

After the fourth section… the fifth section… until the tenth section… I try my best to finish the test.

“Times up, put down your pencil… Have a good weekend.” The teacher said.

When everyone comes out, I see many smiles; and many students feel relax.

“We are going to enjoy our three day weekend. Wow… Wow…”
