to my friend, MR. SAT.

*warning: this fictional letter may contain inexplicable liking towards certain sections in the test. please ensure that you have switched on your positive bubble before you read this.*

DEAR MR.SAT,

can't say that i really miss you ever since the first time i met you last june. it's not that i despise you, but, the awkward feeling of failing you the other day is still buried here deep down in my heart. in fact, i am indeed nervous to meet you this november although you would meet many of my friends this coming october. i hope that we are properly prepared and wish that you would provide equal justice for our hard work all this while. it would be very meaningful if you would help us, my dear friend.

so, how is everything going on for MATHS?? heard that she's doing fine. my friends find her an engaging and amicable persona, very intelligent yet tricky at times everytime we try to tackle her. i believe that most of us would certainly say that this daughter of yours is our favourite. did you know that some of my friends sometimes find it hard to keep pace with her time demands? i know that you have adviced us before to practice diligently as MATHS can allow us obtain 800 but still, there are a few of my fellow colleagues who struggle to keep up with the fast pace. no worries, i have already told them not to worry. MATHS is very helpful most of the time. just don't take her for granted. she hates it when people do that, isn't she?

oh yeah, lately, i heard CR (CRITICAL READING) is involved in soo many gossips. my friends couldn't help to avoid the acrimony of befriending him. i heard people talking about him behind his back or rather lashing out at him sometimes. whenever he starts talking about the old literature or comparing passages in that bombastic vocab of his, people either tend to turn away or become somnolent and leave him alone. sorry to know about that. must be difficult for him. i know that his intentions are good, he just wants to share beautiful fascinating facts with us, but i wish i can persuade my friends to appreciate this highly intelligible son of yours. he may be staid at times, his texts are sometimes highly convoluted yet if we are optimistic enough, he actually understand us better because he gives us so many significant clues in his writings. i also respect his perspicacity in sharing new vocabs with us. he loves to hint us with key words in the sentences. your son can be very charming when he portrays his shrewdness, my friend.

before i forget, pardon me for this sudden impertinence, do send my greatest gratitude to your daughter, WRITING. she is sagacious in rectifying mistakes in the sentences no matter how subtle it might be. thank her for highlighting that parallelism, SVA, and so many other grammar structures that we initially thought correct, can actually be very deceptive. she also values our acumen in answering her essay questions. although the examiners make it difficult for us to score high in her part, she certainly gives us the chance to express our thoughts in a very organized way. true, we had to study long tedious hours of perfecting our essays but then, i personally find her entertaining in a unique way. i may not enjoy her classes that much but i do find myself eager to write another essay if she wants me to. my friends and i realize that mind mapping and brainstorming help a lot to encourage us to produce brilliant ideas and examples for the essay. you should be proud to have a daughter like her.

wow, i haven't realised that i have written such a long letter for you. do not bother yourself to reply it if you find yourself extremely busy with work at the collegeboard. it is my utmost understanding that you perform well in your job. send my regards to our friend, TOEFL at the ETS, if you meet her. tell her to kiss READING, LISTENING, SPEAKING and WRITING for me. it's been a long time since i meet them. tell them to help my friends who would be sitting for her exams soon. thank you so much, MR. SAT.

looking forward to meet you once i finish my preparation for my big day. till then, take care.

yours sincerely,
NHH.
