  1. Thanks behavingmyself, I will see what I can do and get back to you.
  2. Hi, Please I need a website where I can record my own 2-5 minute speech and play it again to my hearing. Help me. All the ones I have seen do not meet my needs. Thanks in advance.
  3. Hi, I did not really get what you said here: and they can use them as cheap teaching labor sooner. I thought it would be much, much easier to use foreign students as cheap labour than Americana students. Could you please explain? Thanks.
  4. CONTACT DETAILS DELETED BY MODERATOR. Please use Test Magic messaging system. Although I am not preparing for the TOEFL, I will be happy to speak with you.
  5. Thanks for your question. We proceed as follows to solving for y: 1. If A/B=1, then A=B. So, (x+y)/xy=1 means x+y=xy. 2. If 2+w=7, then w must be 7-2=5. So, x+y=xy means x=xy-y. 3. Consider CD-C, because C is common to both terms, we must have CD-C=C(D-1). So, x=y(x-1). 4. Finally, if 8=2F, then F must be 8/2=4. So, x=y(x-1) means y=x/(x-1). In fact, y is solved as if x were a number. For instance, let us solve (2x+5)/x=1. Using the above explanation, we see that 2x+5=x. So, x=-5. Check the correctness of our answer by susbtituting it into the original equation and checking whether the left hand side of the equation equals the right hand side. Hope this is clear enough.
  6. Tell us the course you would like to do a master's in. Meanwhile, TM seniors, especially Gecko and other respectable contributors, please counsel this dude accordingly. He desperately needs it. Thanks.

    Why GRE?

    You will have to explain what you implied by "non-native speakers" because I have seen many Africans, educated entirely in Africa and born in Africa, that did the GRE and scattered the verbal just as anyone in the States, the UK, Australia or elsewhere would. I have seen this happen very well.
  8. Attending: QEM Other offers: TOULOUSE, SYRACUSE, UWC, MATHMODS Comments: QEM, here I come!
  9. It seems you don't want to agree that everybody makes errors in the English language. There is nothing like perfection in life. I listen to native speakers almost everyday and I know what I am talking about.
  10. Hey guys, celebrate with me! The European Commission just confirmed the students that got the QEM Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. I am one of them! I just received my letter. I therefore have to decline my other offers. This is the latest with regard to the QEM programme. Cheers.
  11. Congrats! Chicago is great.
  12. Yeah, I know it is funny..But answer the last question, abeg=please.
  13. Not at all. You only made a slip that other great forum members have brought to your notice. Everybody makes mistakes. I have heard an American, trained in America and claimed to be a native speaker of the English language, who said we "was" here yesterday night! Even my 7-year old nephew, Obate, in grade 4 will never say that. I have also heard things like with regardS to, one of the boys that IS here, Who'S pen is this? The list can go on forever. I usually wonder why schools in the US do not require their students to take an English language test before proceeding to graduate school, but require the TOEFL from applicants who did their undergraduate education at institutions located in Anglophone African countries even though it is clear that these people have an excellent command over the English language. I know of an institution whose admissions officer told me that I would not be exempted from the English language test because I did not do my high school or undergraduate education in the US. It is very funny, is it not? I thank God that schools like Harvard, MIT and UCB are exempted from the list of blind institutions that do not see outside the American continent. To make better your English, just relax and try to improve day by day. With time, everything will take shape. Native speakers of the English language have their own challenges. It only takes a sharp non-native speaker to spot their challenges. By the way, I am a native speaker of Pidgin, Yoruba and Esan. I am also struggling to improve my English. Finally, let me ask a question that I hope you will answer. Is it possible for a person to win the Nobel Prize in a language that is not celebrated in his country? For example, if a man lives in country X but wins the Nobel Prize in the language spoken in country Y, where country X and country Y are not in the same continent and country X has its own language, what can you say about the level of language Y as spoken in country X? High or low? Give me your answer....Abeg una! Meiloya!
