"Last year I was writing matric so I haven’t raced a lot"
This is in an interview of a swimmer from RSA:
http://www.superswimmer.co.za/default.asp?id=179593&des=arti...
I have translated it to "je préparais mon bac"
http://www.swimnews-france.com/News/?ID=3887
because I found this on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matric
But perhaps somebody knowing better than I do the ZA education system could explain better or confirm this approximation?
