Lee Ji Hye's Narrative Essay

My First TOEIC

By Lee Ji Hye

I went to Gwang-Ju Dongmyung middle school on December 20th, 2009. The purpose of the visit was TOEIC.

Before I went there, I made an engagement with Jin-Ook to go together. So I called her, taking a bus. Then, Jin-Ook said that she overslept. Thus, her mother had us take a taxi from Na-ju to Gwang-ju (very expensive!!).

Jin-Ook and I barely arrived at Dongmyung middle school. But she had a problem. She forgot the certificate for the examination. So, we went to the teacher's room and asked to use the Internet and printed the document. We stood in a line to check for fever due to the new flu. I was so nervous.

Jin-Ook and I parted because the examination site was different. I went to my examination site. Because it was the first time, my hands were getting wet.

Before I went in for TOEIC, I didn't prepare for the exam perfectly since I didn't know what to do and l disliked that a little. So, I was nervous more and more. The test began, and for a listening test, the broadcasting started. Obviously, I heard it, but I didn't understand well. But, the reading test was not bad. l felt relieved.

From that day, January 8th 2010 , the result of examination was announced. Concerning the first exam, my grade was not so bad. I didn't study and prepare well for the examination. because of this examination, I felt need about preparation and attitude dealing with examination well.

So, I will change my attitude about tests into something positive.
