Re: speaking practice on skype

I concentrated more in other parts, especially writing and listening 2) Instead of smiling and encouraging, the examiner stared at me all the t...

Re: Regarding Reading Section

____, Bear in mind that all the answers for the reading test is there in the booklet. Search out, you will find it!

Re: Please check my essay

listen carefully the questions asked, the form of question, past present future. you answer should be in the same format. for the cue card, if you are telling an old story, keep all the verbs in past, unless you mention something /point for future. speak atleast 150 - 200 words for cue card.
