Pressure!

Last Thursday (11/10/11), 4th years (equivalent to high school seniors) took their college entrance exam.  I've read that more than 80% of the 4th years attend university.  This test determines where they will go to university and what they will do with their life.  That is a huge weight on one's shoulders!  Fourth years spend months preparing for this test.

Earlier this year, I "tutored" a 4th year for 30 minutes twice a week over the phone.  We basically had a conversation in English to help him with his speaking skills.  We stopped talking in September so that he could concentrate on studying for this test.  I'm sure he did very well because he's very smart!  :)

I have come across the following videos that you might find interesting.  I sure did!  The first one I stole from a friend who posted it on Facebook.  The second one was a recommended video since I watched the first one.  (I hope that makes sense!)
