Chinese+3

Possibly the best thing I've done in Chinese 3 is earn a 71.5/70 on the lesson 4 test. The highest possible score was 74, and the test was graded out of 70 points. This was the greatest thing I did in Chinese because it was the highest score I earned on a test that year. The only struggles I had with this test were remembering how to write certain characters. Writing is, in my opinion, the most difficult part of the Chinese language because every word has its own character. I usually do better on speaking quizzes because I can memorize sounds better than pictures. That's why I was so impressed with myself when I got such a high grade on a writing test.

The process of completing the test was fairly simple. The beginning of the test is the listening part, where Ms. Wang reads off a sentence or phrase in Chinese and the students have to translate the phrase into English. This process is fairly simple, except I seem to have confused the word for short with the word for long. That may prove to be a problem some day... Also in the test were the multiple choice and sentence construction sections. These sections were completed flawlessly. The sections for making up new Chinese sentences were completed with only one -0.5 point error, and all four bonus points were earned.
