I have an english GCSE oral coming up at school and have decided to spread the word and performance of poi. I have already had a practice in my oral room to make sure it's big enough and people saw me through the window and stared at me, intrigued by the mesmerising rhythm of poi! I am really excited about my oral now because everyone's going to be listening and i can show off my limited skills. Will go practice so I look vaguely impressive!!

Just curious, but what's an English oral? We don't have those tests in the states...If English wasn't your native language, I could guess it was your teacher testing you on your speaking ability, but I'm gathering that isn't the case. So what are you tested on?

Its exactly like what you did just say.
THe teacher testing you on your speaking ability.
Many people in England dont have english as their 1st language.

well the thing is, in england they don't really speak very good english, so they have to take a test in school to make sure that they can at least speak english in some vaguely comprehensible way when they do want to...
naturally this is after many courses on instructing them on how to properly speak their own language!
(of course what UCOF said is slightly more accurate... perhaps)

We have to take an entirely seperate course for public speaking-its called "Time to Speak", which is possibly the dumbest class name I've ever heard...you have to do a bunch of different kinds of speeches (pesuasive, how-to, etc). One guy in my sister's class managed to make every single one of his about drugs!

I don't understand why people are usually so scared or orals. (ok, so i understand, but i dont agree!)
I LOVE THEM!
in year 10 the topic was "life has taught me..." so i wrote a speech on "life has taught me that [censored] happens, and there are many different types" and i stood infront of my class for 3 minutes talking about [censored].
the next term i did one on Mata Hari, while sitting on my desk in a provocative pose...

we didn't do an exam but were given the marks from our participation in class. I got an "A" but i think everyone in the class did.
I think if we had to do a presentation i think the marks would have been very different!

My Oral examiner was great, but all she'd let me do was talk.

Lowering the tone in an oral thread!!!!!
*cant get up off floor, must stretch to type*
I have always been very good with oral, even when i was in school. Not sure if we had English though, I did Irish, French, German.
I cant even string a sentance together now though
