Today we received the results for the B2 course I have been taking at ROC Mondriaan. I passed all four sections – reading, writing, listening and speaking – with no problems. I did ironically have some comments about how to work on my writing, but it was mainly due to a lack of time to check over my work when I was done writing. I tend to write a lot – a bit too much probably!
When I got home I saw a small gift on the table from Marco. The message he wrote on it makes me wonder what I should have done with it if I hadn’t passed the tests. Burn it?
“open me if you passed the exams – Marco”
If you know what ‘Jamin’ is (what it sells), you can already guess what the gift is. ;p
Chocolate! geslaagd = successful, in the sense of success at passing a test (a school exam, a driving test, etc).

Wait..was there any doubt you wouldn’t pass?
But IF that had happened, burning it (or melting it) would’ve been fun until it was a large lump of unrecognizable “consolation chocolate” 🙂 🙂 🙂
