None of the above Answer: C Can any one explain how to find out?

Practice makes perfect is an old adage which is perfectly true. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! will lead to PERFECT. Just write an essay (different topic) a day, continuously for about 2 weeks. Simultaneously, enrich your vocabulary, idioms try to incorporate in the essay.After 2 weeks, write the essay for the topic which you did on first day. You could see vivid changes in organization, way of writing and more.

That's really helpful in dividing the time into sections. Since we need to use idioms while speaking I thought of this approach. Shall I use "If I were in his/her shoes" before letting my opinion. Will this be appropriate?:yuck:

There is a question in the speaking section i.e. Two students talk about an issue or problem and finally we need to state our opinion. Can we say "Here is my two cents ..." while starting to state our opinion for the above inquiry. Some people said that if the opinion is comparably less valuable, this kind of expression is used where as others said it is appropriate to use it. If somebody has come across this, please shed some light about this idiom in this scenario. Anticipating friends reply................:hmm:
