The Big Final

I was sweating like crazy, but this time it wasn’t because of the heat. I was nervous for the final test in the center to see our level in speaking and our level generally in Arabic. All of us were nervous to be taking this test in front of many teachers.



We came to school as normal and had normal class until 11:30. At that time it was time for us to take the test and we went to the big conference room in the center. There we sat, as nervous as ever. When the teachers came they said that they’d listen to us in order of age, and since I was the smallest that gave me an advantage to listen to most of the things they were going to say.



After about a boring hour of just sitting and listening my turn came. It was time for me to show my Arabic skills. The teachers asked us to talk about America generally, and asked questions about the most beautiful places, the people, the schools, and many other things. In the end they asked us what we were thinking about the future and our thoughts about Egypt. I was lucky to be the last person because waiting and listening to my friends really took away a lot of the stress.



After we were done talking they gave all of us a certificate from the center and congratulated us.

We left that room happy and hungry, for we had missed our whole lunch break..:)
