Gone for good

I haven't been visiting my blog since May last year so I decided that's high time to update my blog.
I've just read my last post in which I wrote about how my last english contest finished like. There is another another that will take place on Wednesday which means it's 4 days left. There will be 2 parts just like last year. First part focused on choosing the right answer from examples marked as ABCD. To qualify to the other part at least 10th place has to be achieved. Last year there were about 130 people writing it. Many of these were there because they had nothing better to do therefore people who organise that contest decided to let less people participate this time. I have no idea how many people is gonna be trying to make it to the final but I'm sure it won't be as many as it used to be.
Final which is 2nd part will take place in April. In that part there will be eye to eye conversation with one of 3 examiners. Final consist of 2 tasks. First one is just like polish matura exam. In fact it's enough to say 5-6 sentences and it's done. Second part is worse than the previous one. It's kind of conversation between you and the person examining you. The subject is real life related. Last time I had to discuss about proper ways of careers for women. I think I've read too much from piece of paper that I prepared while before as I had 4 mintues to prepare answers to questions. The guy (my friend) that had quite problems speaking fluently got 2nd place then. I was answering questions way more flunt than him but I read too much from that paper and I think that made my place worse than it could be. The main problem wasn't how to say some things but what to say. Sometimes it's harder to make up something than translate it.
I'm also thinking of passing certificate FCE this year and CAE maybe another year or in near future.
