Today I had a chance to do an English test at my workplace. The test was made by EF, and it had two parts. The first part was about reading skills and the second part about listening. Both parts had several different exercises, and at the end the result was told. The test was a little bit under one hour, both parts taking about half of the time.
The results were really surprising for me, because I didn't expect them to be so good. I got 74/100 points of reading and 84/100 of listening, so the average was 79/100. Those results put me to level C2 in CEFR scaling and between 8,5 and 9,0 in IELTS scaling, which I couldn't believe. I have always thought that my skills aren't so good. Is it only lack of self confidence, or how accurate was the test?
If my results had been worse, I could have participated to an English course at work also. But my level seems to be well enough, so I don't get the course.

Pub Quiz -night 5.4.
We went with the Field Trip group to a pub quiz night to Molly Malone's on Wednesday. Actually, there were only three of us, so not so many. Our team was probably one of the smallest.
The pub quiz is held every month's first Wednesday in Molly Malone's, and it's in English. There are several rounds in the quiz, and they are about different subjects. I found it quite hard to understand the accent of the person, who was hosting the quiz and asking the questions. Luckily my team members were better in that, and usually at least one of us understood what the question was about. But we also realized, that to be able to do well in the quiz, it would have been much more likely if we were from an English speaking country or little bit older. Anyway, in every round we got at least some of the questions right, but not enough to win any of the rounds.
The pub quiz was fun, and I actually think it would be fun to go again.
