Hi murthy, may I ask you what your speaking mark was? In my first attempt i didn't prepared for speaking according longman format and i got 20. Now I am preparing for speaking according your advice.

 

for the general speaking topic, It was the most memorable event during your school time. and i can't remember the other one.

reading passages were so difficult. one was about meteors ,the other was about erie channel or something .

ok, thanks.I'll try to speak slowly. In my test in 4 questions of the 6 I couldn't finish them on time. I think I shouldn't have gone for details.

One more question; for the writing, I'm really wondering how I can improve it. I am reviewing the sample essays from Barron for now and try to write one essay per day. But they seem the same as my previous essays. How can I raise my writing level? please share your ideas. My next exam is coming in 1 month.
