Dear Tseprep, I always read your suggestions and find them very helpful. On my third attempt my Reading, Listenning, and Writing improved a little but Speaking remains the same 20. Can I reach 26 on Speaking if I am not in English speaking country and do not have every day speaking practice ? Can you detalize your answer on previous post?
I registered also on 17th May , but then i will take a break , because I very tired already.

If the question was "Tell me about your childhood friend" a typcial answer will be "When I was a child my childhood friend is a boy ..."
Better answer is: "There are serveral childhood friends, but one friend I remember is Tommy, we were friends since I was 8 years old. I remenber him well, because he was so honest, when I was 10 years old he fould a $20 bill on the street, if it was me, I would have kept it. But he took it to a police station to report that someone lost the money. 2 weeks later, a police officer stop by his house and returned the money because no one claimed it. I know because he bought me a chocolate sunday from McDonalds with the money that was returned. That's why a childhood friend I wanted to talk about is Tommy." Of course I have to adjust my answer so I could talk for 43-45 seconds. Add more details so I can talk longer, time is also an important factor in the score.
