In English language, there are many words that sound the same but is actually not. Sometimes mispronunciation of the word can make you become a laughing stock for everyone.
Example
person A says: I am going to board the SHIP now.
Person B thinks: He is going to board the SHEEP now?!
example 2
The boss says: Can you leave that SHEET on my table?
5 minutes later:
and of course, its not just the fact that the pronounciation must be right. the way to greet the examiner must also be right too. for example, many people may have the misconception that they are all "ang mors." however, u definitely dont go up to them and say, good morning or afternoon ang mohs. that will be downright disrespectful and rascist. however, u greet them as ma'ams or sirs.
So, as you can see, how disastrous can it be... So lets practice good english from now onwards. Cos at the end of the day, it is us that go into the exam hall.
