TOEFL Progress Test Part 2

Assalamualaikum..
Finally I can successfully drag my self to write something here.

As I wrote in my recent post, I had the second progress test of TOEFL couple days ago (weeks maybe). And the result revealed the next day.

ANDDDDD!!!

I got much better score this time! yeay!! Alhamdulillah.

Well, I didn't expect to get this score, because I had so much trouble during the test. In the first section, Listening Comprehension Section, I lost my focus (as always), and I tried to applied one of our teacher's trick, that is read and translate the options first before listen the conversation and choose the right answer. But I ended up trying to guess what the question will be and it confound my focus. The trick didn't work on me. And what even worse is that I cannot fill the answer sheet after I choose the answer. And in the end of the test, I need extra time to fill my answer into the answer sheet. I think I'd better to listen the conversation and listen the question first, then read the option and directly translate it, and choose the best answer.

In the second section, Structure and Written Expression, I spent too much time to read the sentence over and over again to find out which one is the best choice. Because in the first progress test, I worried too much about the limit of the time, and I just answered it right after I read the sentence. Bad news is it took the portion of last section's time, but the good news is I got only a few wrong answer for this section.

And the last section, Reading Comprehension Section. I did it in rush, because I only had a few time so I couldn't read the passage carefully. I read the question, then tried to find the key words in the passage, read it quickly, then immediately make a decision for the answer. In the last 10 minutes I did it even faster because I still have two more passages to do. I didn't care whether the answer is right or wrong. I only care about completing the test without no blank answer. And with a bit (a lot maybe) chaos, I finally finished it with extra time to fill my answer sheet.

My score is pretty much better but it doesn't mean I have time to relax, it push me even harder to maintain and even increase it. Because this score is not the standard score I set for myself. so, I will try much harder next time. Wish me luck for the next progress test and the real test in the end of this program!

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Pada Deretan Huruf

Pada deretan huruf, aku tuliskan cerita. Tentang kita yang menyapa pagi, meramu siang, dan menghimpun malam. Kita yang sebelumnya tak saling kenal, dunia kita tak bersentuhan, lingkaran kita tak beririsan, lantas dipertemukan dalam suatu epidode yang mengakrabkan kita dengan cara istimewa. Pada deretan huruf, aku abadikan kisah. Tentang kau dan aku yang beda, yang tak serupa, tapi berjalan beriringan. Setiap kata merapalkan kejujuran, bahwa setiap beda tak mesti bertentang. Hal yang kadang membuat kita berdebat, nyatanya tetap bisa membuat kita tertawa bersama. Pada deretan huruf, aku rekam setiap momen. Tentang kau yang memahamkanku bahwa dunia bukanlah ruang sempit. Ia tak melulu tentang barat dan timur, atau utara dan selatan. Kau pula yang memahamkanku bahwa kita adalah bagian dari milyaran manusia, yang tertakdir bertemu disini. Pada deretan huruf, aku bekukan kenangan. Tentang kita yang selalu berceloteh bahwa hari seperti dilipat, dan harapan agar ia bisa sedikit melambat....
