YOU WILL BE PENALIZED FOR DISREGARDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
C’était le jour de l’examen oral et Nicole était très excitée. Aussitôt qu’elle est arrivée au lycée, elle s’est assise devant la salle de l’examen, a reçu ses papiers et a commencé à se préparer pendant que sa camarade de classe, Brigitte, passait son examen oral.
Cinq minutes plus tard, elle s’est précipitée dans la salle de classe et a demandé à l’examinateur d’expliquer les instructions. Brigitte s’est mise en colère et a dit à Nicole qu’elle la dérangeait. Immédiatement, l’examinateur a arrêté l’examen et a dit à Brigitte qu’elle était tellement désagréable de réagir de cette façon. Brigitte a éclaté en sanglots, puis a commencé à raconter à l’examinateur tous les problèmes qu’elle vivait: elle vivait avec une tante qui ne lui permettait pas assez de temps pour étudier, elle avait beaucoup de travail à faire.
Elle n’avait pas vraiment envie de réagir de cette façon, mais elle ne pouvait pas se retenir. L’examinateur se sentait désolé pour elle et son attitude envers Brigitte a changé. Il l’a aidée à chercher de l’aide professionnelle et maintenant tout va bien pour tout le monde.
