speaking test!

it's a freezing day today..the rain pour down heavily from the early morning..as a result, my session for speaking test with my students had been delayed for an hour..seriously,it's hard to get up this morning due to the coldness and i felt like want to continue dreaming ..huhu..but, my work is my priority (erm..?)..my students keep calling me to get permission to delay the test..its okay for me as long as you come for the test..i'll wait for you..that's what i told my students ^__^. the test start on 9 am and end at 11.30..2 hours duration and it's like having a test in a refrigerator as the air conditioner in the room is extremely cold!!! i still remember when one my students is shivering while presenting his ideas..what to do?there is no controller for the air conditioner ..let's talk about the test..i felt a bit upset today as most of the students failed to carry out the discussion..i admit that that the questions are quite complicated but they can explain it in general ..these are the major problems occurred:

1. Unable to provide relevance answer based on the task given
2. No background knowledge on the topic provided (reading is not their passion)
3. Low self esteem to speak in English
4. Lack of practice
5. Don't know how to organize their ideas and elaborate the points.

SO, dear students,please look upon the matters above and try to improvise yourselves in speaking..as a lecturer, i do understand that it is not easy to speak in English fluently but if there's a rail there will always be a way for you ..don't give excuses and keep on trying until you get what u want

sincerely..
