Hi members,

It has been a while that this forum has been started. We are in an academic forum. Your messages are valuable assets to others. They are not deleted when you shut down your computer as you do in a chat room.

We need your cooperation.

Please read:

1. Plese use proper English.

You would like to reduce your time. Readers may have to spend more time trying to understand your English.

Example:

http://www.urch.com/forums/toefl-gra...e-english.html (I wanna develop error free english!!!)

2 Please make testmagic an abbreviation free zone.

http://www.urch.com/forums/lounge/28...free-zone.html (Make TM an abbreviation free zone?)

3. Have dictionary gone out of fashion?

http://www.urch.com/forums/lounge/47...t-fashion.html (Have dictionaries gone out of fashion?)

I can't imagine if a foreign pharmacist uses a lot of abbreviations to his/her co-workers, doctors, patients, or starts a sentence without a capital letter. I believe that they will be insulted by their American co-workers. Therefore, please try to develop your good English here. Otherwise, when you get used to improper English, one day, you may forget what the correct English is.

However, it is okay if you make grammatical errors because you don't know how to write perfect English but intentional use of mis-spelling is unacceptable. We are foreigners. Everyone unintentionally makes mistakes.

We need your co-operation.

Thanks testmagic members.

Sincerely,

Knok

Sincerely, Knok _ _ _ _ SIG _ _ _ _ Facts: Be sure to pass all sections of TOEFL iBT (R21, L18, S26*,W24) before applying for FPGEE. Thousands of candidates passed FPGEE but could not achieve TOEFL requirement after several attempts. Percent passing rate on the speaking section is only 10 percent. (http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL...mmary_2008.pdf, page 5) The average score on the speaking section of the US candidates is 22 and candidates from English speaking countries is 23 (http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL...mmary_2008.pdf, p. 9-10.) Would you like to see changes? Cilck here ->http://www.aetr.org/index.php to file TOEFL reform
