In business class, we learnt how to write CV and cover letter. It was useful.

Then in general class, we had test, including written test and interview.
It was difficult, and while I was talking with Suzanne during break time, Marcus came up in long face.
"How was a test?" I asked.
He made a sigh.
" but you came to this class just last week. You don't have to care about it so seriously."
"I will be sent back to intermediate class."
He was really depressed, and looked like a child.

We discussed about culture in general class:
population, history, location, currency, sports, weather, army, food, entertainment and so on.
We were told to make a question related the above in a pair, and I did with Marcus.
We made simple questions as follow;
"How is the population in your country?"
"What is your currency?"
As to army, I made a question, "Is there military in your country?"
Marcus was surprised, "it is nonsense! every country has military."
"but Japan lost the WWII, so must not have usual army."
"No, it's impossible."
Sung, who sat next to me, laughed, "why "impossible"?, she is a Japanese."
Next, food. Marcus made a childish smile and said.
"Japanese eat a dog?"
"NO, some Asian people eat it , but Japanese never."
"No, you lie, Japanese eat it."
He repeated it as I denied.
He seemed to be delighted to make fun of me.
And such a manner looks so lovely for me.

After a boring business class about monopoly of De Beers, I had a delightful general class.
First, we did a listening practice.
Next, a practice of telephone conversation.
We pretended a hostmother and a student, or a cinema officer and a customer, or friends who haven't met for 10 years, then we continued a conversation as long as possible.
I practiced with cheerful Marcus, so I laughed many times.
