Generally speaking, I don't think I did quite well in the test, or more specifically, I think I cannot fully take advantage of my ability. But all in all, it is over and the experience is quite unforgettable. This is not simply refer to the test experience, but refer to the whole process: preparation time (one day before the test, April 22nd, we go to Shenzhen from Zhuhai), the hardships of finding the exact location for the test, and the procedure of taking the test. Finally, the journey of going back to Zhuahi. I will talk about them one by one:
The preparation time. I didn't prepare for this test well because it is required by HC that all students need to take TOEFL before May, so we have no choice but take the registration in a limited time. That's why we need to choose Shenzhen as the city we take exam. Otherwise, I will choose Macau>>>>> Definitely!!!! If I need to retake TOEFL, I must do the registration far before the time I prefer (For you, if you want to register exam, please go to http://toefl.etest.net.cn/cn).
My suggestion is that you really need to register far before your preferred time since there are lots of people want to take it. One comment I want to add is that I cannot understand why ETS only set so limited number of test location in China? Because I cannot understand why there are lots schools and talent training center in Zhuhai, which have equiptment far better than the "Saige"( I have problem with computer in that center when I took my reading part test, the paragrah cannot display properly in the screen, so that I lost about 1 minute time......) I should compaint about this but I didn't do so because I don't want to retake the test in this location again, 3 hours to take by taking bus from Zhuhai to Shenzhen....
However, the most difficult thing is not the preperation, the process when I took test, it is the hardship for Roddic, Fred and I to find out the exact location of "Saige" talent training center.... Frankly speaking, I found that if I compare the hardnees of finding the place with the hardness of completing the test, I will say it without hasitation that finding the place is far more difficult. Here is the experience I have encoutered: Firstly, we find the location listed in Google map, then we tried hard to find that location. We found for quite a long time, by asking numerous people, but still cannot get the exact place. By looking at the faces with ignorance, we feel somewhat depressed. But, one people in the post office helped us a lot. By referring to the map on internet again, he found that the center is located at the 7th floor of "Saige" Economy Building. So we headed straightforwaed to those building, which we have passed by at least 4 times because we cannot find the place. Hard, hard, hard.......... After we went into the building, climbed to the 7th floor, we were hitted by the fact that the center has moved to another place since last year. We were quite tired and depressed, but we cannot do anything else other than find the new location. So, we need to go back to our Hotel....... Why? Because we need to use computer.......... It take us about 3 hours to walk on the road to find out the old location and went back to Hotel, which means 3 hours meaningless work. After we went back to hotel, we used the computer to search for the new location. To our satisfaction, we found it on a BBS website, so we marked down the simple map on a paper and then began to find out the location by walking there. It didn't take us long- just half an hour.... But the hardship really made the experience unforgettable..
Finally, about how we came bcak to Zhuhai, we took the ship. I think it is better to take the ship if you are not afraid of dizy. It took only 1 hours for the ship to take us back, but 3 hours for the car to do so. What's more, coz we are students, it only costs us 90 yuan/person, but taking bus, it need 95 yuan/person. By the way, the service provided by Jiuzhougang Port in Zhuhai is quite good. It provide free bus to take the passengers from the port to Gongbei (China port), which I appreciate it very much sicne I haven't hearded some free bus similar to those casino buses in Macau.
That's all about what I want to said after I took the test. Now, I just want to pray for myself that I can get a satisfied mark.
