Re: How to Reach Band 9

Aslo, i think you missed the point of the test. I find it is very difficult to understand your essays , allenzhang. thus, i would give you a low score like 6 in a test.

Dave's this essay is good isn't 'cause he made few mistakes. it is 'cause it is effortless to read his essay. His ideas flow!
