与其耿耿于怀，不如超然面对

The score came out finally, with my little disappointment.

TOEFL Total Score Paper 510 Mar 27, 2010

1. TOEFL Listening Paper 52 Mar 27, 2010
2. TOEFL Reading Paper 55 Mar 27, 2010
3. TOEFL Writing Paper 46 Mar 27, 2010

510 is alike a grade C. If I want to apply to the UC Berkeley, I need a Grade A. In order words, I need to improve the score from 510 to 620, in one month.

I am not sure what the Writing Paper stands for, reading? But there is another reading already. Anyway, whichever part is far from good. In order to get the total score 620, I can only work harder than currently.

I took the TOEFL test today, for the first time. Every beginning is difficult, especially for a challenge-level test. When the time ended, I actually felt a little dizzy.

The test I took was a paper-based test, which was a little different from the internet-based test using widely nowadays. It consisted of three sections. Each of the sections was designed to test the different abilities of candidates.

Section 1 was the listening, and it was divided into three parts. Each part had its own specially propose. For example, part one was likely to test the comprehension of the day-to-day conversations, and part three was probably to test the listening ability of the lectures. Due to not understanding some conversations and questions, I surmised that I lost 10 or 12 questions to the whole 50 questions.
