    maybe you just THINK you’re speaking English, it’s just bad dubbing

    June 25, 2001

    Hi, I’m a high school student (will graduate next year) and I’ve just been told that I will have to write the TOEFL exam. I’ve been in Canada for 2 years now. Because of this I have to write the TOEFL. (universities require 4 years in an english speaking country to be exempt from taking the test)However, I have been speaking English all my life, in fact it’s the only language I speak. Why should I have to prove my English speaking capabilities just because I attended a school (which by the way was an ‘American school’) in a country where English is not the dominant language? Should I just suck it up and write the test (which I will have to pay for), or do you think it’s worthwhile trying to get an exemption?
