Final Exam

I do not make the Final Exam; furthermore, I have not seen it. The Final Exam is provided by the university. Usually, the Final Exam is a listening test. The format has been multiple choice. You listen and choose the correct answer: A, B, C, or D. 

Like I said in the last class, I often see movie genres, makeup and cosmetics, and food on the Final Exam. The last class we practiced these topics, focusing on pp. 18, 52, and 73 respectively. Listening is important; that is why we practiced listening so often for the exam.

Good luck.
