<p>lolz iammike.</p>
<p>The blurb about food was a lamentation of the changing perceptions of accetable etiquette in Japan. The author noticed several "respectable" businessmen eating box lunches and the like while walking or in commute. He (she? i interpreted it as a she, but i can't remember, i didn't look for a name) also noted the prevalence of people walking and eating hamburgers and ice cream, which he said was also disrespectful, but not so much so as the atrocious act of saving time by eating boxed lunches on the go. </p>
<p>Reading it, I definitely got the impression of an old stick in the mud extremely averse to any fluctuation of the accpeted ways of past Japanese society.</p>
<p>Man, i cant wait till AP Japanese comming out.</p>
<p>I've lived in Japan all my life and speak it but the question about the book borrowing between a woman and a guy threw me off. Was she asking him to borrow it for her?</p>
<p>Some of the conversations were really strange....not really something you'd hear in Japan..</p>
<p>nekoyaki wo tabemashou!</p>
<p>Pretty sure the book question was:
The woman asked the man to borrow it for her;
The man currently in position of the book wouldn't be in today or tomorrow.</p>
<p>The listening section was easy but the reading was kekko hard because I didn't expect so much kanji. Most of the kids in my room finished 20 mins early (and I bet there were at least 15 people with 800's in the room). </p>
<p>For several of the questions mentioned, these were my answers:
-4 chefs
-reservation for a restraunt (I guessed based on the logic of the answer)
-for the 2 people getting home, SPEED
-first india question: classmate from india
-2nd india question: there were 2 answers about photography, I think I picked the second one (club?)</p>
<p>For the very last question, was the answer:
a. bird
b. insect
c. plant
d. ???? (I don't remember what the other one was)</p>
<p>The answer was a plant. Venus Fly Trap, if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>ok, I just the rest of the posts on this forum...more responses:</p>
<p>iammike is correct, it is "bokuwa kohii ni shimasu" cause thats just the way people say it over here. it's a response to the question "what would you like?" so basically it's like saying "oh, i'll go with coffee"</p>
<p>for the fruit question, I said freshness (anonomousn: I believe fat free was mentioned in the passage)</p>
<p>I said freshness because the advertised product was dried fruits; dried and freshness are two contradicting concepts imo.</p>
<p>is everyone on this thread japanese?</p>
<p>nope, taiwanese. I suck at writing/ reading chinese though, so I don't really have an advantage in Kanji sections.</p>
<p>nope, I'm supposedly a Chinese-speaking Singaporean
but I guess not.</p>
<p>wow didn't know the japanese sat2s were so easy.....unless you people are super smart and say everything is easy</p>
<p>integtypeR that^^^^^^^^^^^^^ exactly is the case. I'm a native speaker and found the test pretty challenging with awkward questions here and there.</p>
<p>no I'm a taiwanese+malaysian-chinese living in Japan.... </p>
<p>Rather than the actual Japanese itself being a problem, I didn't like the questions and the answers they gave. Plus I don't know about others but the accents were kind of weird...especially the woman.</p>
<p>I am Korean.</p>
<p>I want to ask how did you guys prep for it?...or do all of you speak fluent Japanese?</p>
<p>I'm a native speaker too, but I agree with caesar that some of the questions were weird and subjective, even for a fluent Japanese person. I expected to be able to whiz through the test and be assured of my 800, but there were a couple of them that left little nagging doubts in my mind.</p>
<p>h18, the only prep I had was the sample questions of SAT2Japanese provided on the CB site. However, my friend (non-native, studied Japanese for 3 years independently) took the test after reading a Japanese-for-dummies equivalent book. She said it was pretty easy.</p>
