奴比的小宇宙

Well, technically it’s only the last week that the article is supposed to talk about but I’m going to record the last week and my thoughts about the whole cycle in TPAN as well.

We have a very interesting and exciting activity, which requires us to give a one-minute speech on stage right after picking a topic. Mine is PILOT. My speech is lousy, I think, but my fellow classmates still give me a big hand.

Besides that, we’re busy preparing our Final Assessment and Talent Show this week. I’m confident that I do a great job on both my oral and written assessments. As for the show, It ends up with great compliments and much laughter. Our teachers regard our performances as the best talent show they’ve had during eight cycles. I do hold my sides with laughter.    

Carol, one of our trainers, has to take one day earlier off and before her left she tells me “Send me email. Peggy, remember you are very good.” As I recall, I get 28 out of 30 on the last oral assessment and Carol says that my pronunciation is so good that I don’t have a Chinese accent like everyone else in the class and I can shift a little bit to British or American accent as I want. Knowing that I might be the top three students with a neutralized pronunciation doesn’t make me less cautious about making conversation because I don’t want to make mistakes. It seems that I should talk more and worry less.

After class, on the way back to our scooters and cars, I’m talking to Angela, Vickie and some other group members about keeping in touch with each other and I find that none of them will attend TPAN CLUB held in July. So it could be the last time we get together as a team. Angela says, ”I like you, Peggy.” I say, “I like you, too. Let’s get marry.” And we all burst into laughter and talks about the wedding invitation and money. So long, my friends. Glad to have this month with you all.

“OK, let’s call it a day.”
