Both released new stuff? I'm so out of the loop in the music scene lately.

Oh lawd, I have a mock job interview for French on tuesday as well. I'm going in pretty much blind though, it's not one of my top 4 classes (and thanks to my state's sh*tty system, it therefore does not affect my year 12 certificate in the slightest) and I'm totally f**ked for other assessment as far as time goes already.

Is it heretical to say on a prog forum that Creedence Clearwater Revival are awesome?

That's the same situation I found myself in with my French teacher for two years. I hate that little woman, and giving speeches in a foreign language sucks.

My teacher is pretty stiff himself, seems to want people to sound like they're basically reading an essay rather than working through the ideas as if in a conversation. Seems like properly memorizing it is the best option. Also, I've had him for 3 semesters in the past 2 years and every f**king time I've been picked to go first. WHY.

For those that need to yeah  I would say get comfortable with it Joel, makes remembering 100X easier. But it may be easier in the short run to just ram it into your skull. Is your teacher anal about it being "real" or can you just stand there and seem like death and sit down?

write down the most important info in small headwords, that binds the text together, and read it over and over agian both loud and within you, read it like a play, to an invicible audience, make sure everything is pronounced clear. also important to take pauses, breath, be the boss, take the time but also assure that everyone is listening, make eyecontact with the audince be as much reliable without the manuskript as with it. drink water,
its like practising music ore are gonna be a backing band for a danceband you practise till you are so done with it as if you read another word or play another nore you will puke.
but also assure you have fluancy when you read or speak, speak from your stomack not your throat, read it memorise it, read it....memorise..... read.....close your eyes and memorise..... read and so on to you die

Ah, nice. I absolutely hate giving speeches. We get 100 words of notes + powerpoint so I should be alright with a bit of luck. Just worried about making up the time more than anything. |

Sorry bro, I just kinda read it/ran it in my head until I had it. Also I loved giving speeches so it was never a problem for me to want to remember
