Writing task 2

Task B

On the internet forum for school-leavers called Exam Worries you found the following

problem:

It’s less than 48 hours before my final piano exam at the music

school and I am really nervous. I have to leave early tomorrow and

have nowhere to practise before the exam. So the next time I play

the pieces will be at the exam. Right now I am fixated on what to

wear. As a kid I always did my exams at school, so I was in school

uniform. But I don't know what to wear now that I have no school

uniform anymore and even if I did, I think it would look a bit silly.

Do you think examiners get upset by people who wear – decent and

clean! – jeans? Even with a white shirt? The reason I am asking is

that tomorrow I will be spending most of the day roaming around

town and I have a long train journey to get there in the first place

and then a long journey back after the exam. But would a suit be

better? AND a tie?



Does anyone else worry about silly things like this, or is it just me

projecting all my exam nerves onto the clothing?
