Re: A grammar question: financially or economically

Hi Allen,

I think 'financially' suits better than 'economically ',

In fact, 'economically' may not be appropriate at this place,

Don't worry too much....just relax..in 9 days...

Re: No access to YouTube? Download all of my videos here.

Hi Ryan,

Download works for me, but the space is quite high, around 14 GB, it could be better if you break it down to 1 GB, because in India the download speed is considerably low compare to foreign countries.


Thanks for such videos,

Re: technology develops traditional skills die out

Good essay,

every point is clear and refer back to central topic, however minor grammar mistakes and choice of words at places make bit incoherence.

looks definitely band 6.5 , may go to band 7. ( I am not an assessor)
