Today, I got a 31% on a Chinese test at school. I moved here to New Jersey from China two months ago. FML

Were you born in China? I mean, if you lived there for like a year, then that would make sense. Chinese is hard. If you were born there, well I don't know...

That actually happens often. I've had friends move to Mexico during high school, and they always did poorly on their English tests. It's because they go into more detail in the class than we ever did here. They concentrate on the little things we don't notice. It's normal.

Yeah... I see this happen all the time. Well, with Spanish-speaking kids, anyway. And I'd believe it if I heard about English-speaking kids having the same problem in other places. People always say "I only write this way on the internet," but the reality is a lot of people who speak English really have no grasp on the finer aspects of their own language.

It could happen, especially if you speak Cantonese and the test is in Mandarin.

yeah this is really dumb. i took spanish with a whole bunch of native spanish speakers and they didnt end up doing as well in some of the classes because some of the spanish they spoke was "slang" and not taught in school

@ 24 Seeing how a lot of people say, "could/should/would of" instead of "could/should/would have," I'm not surprised. Maybe you speak better than 22, but I don't doubt 22's claims.
