The original sentence is: "My mother not only brings up me but also acts as my best friend". I want to rewrite it:" Not only does my mother bring up me....". Who can give me a hand? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! but I don't think so, I've already known that "Provided that" means "as long as". I don't know it "provided it" has the same meaning. :p

Can anyone show me what the phrase "provided it" in this sentence means: "Employees at this company were asked if they could think of a use for a weak adhesive which, provided it did not get dirty, could be reused" Thank you in advance:p

I tried it but I couldn't understand the language they were using

I got PBT 587: 58-62-56, my Twe is only 3.0: not satisfied. What can I do with this score?

And I have been sent my Toefl result by ETS two weeks ago

agree with Catenaccivn Hey Bernadetta! I have seen some examples in my dictionary in which articles like "the", "an" is used: _pollution of the atmosphere _The hotel offers a friendly atmosphere and personal service

I know because Peterson book says that. Questions number 15 and 40 are offered by ETS to evaluate the "attitude" of testees...

I wrote very bad...my conclusion consisted of only one short sentence because I ran out of time

I also took that test. It's number 40, wasn't it. But, as far as I know, ETS doesn't count questions number 15 and 40 in section 2 for the final score. I hope so because I didn't choose D, I chose C

Hey, why do you know PBT result so soon. In my country, it will take at leat 1 month to know.

Thanks for your correction Myrkul. But it took me too much time to complete

I also want to write on this topic: The life-expectancy of every country has increased considerably compared with the past. This positive tendency is due to two main reasons: the improvement in both physical and mental life. First, nowadays, people live longer because of their high nutritional meals and the availability of medical service. In the past, the fact that people died for starvation was something more commonplace; Humans needed to struggle with the wild nature to subsist. Now that, modern technology has allowed the production of all kinds of food with much higher quantity and quality, we can not only eat larger amount but also more delicious food. Good meals undoubtedly have made people taller, stronger and more intelligent than their forefathers. Besides, the tremendous development of medical service in the past centuries has protected us from the threat of many diseases once considered incurable. Of course, when we have more medicine and trained doctors, we have more solutions to prolong our life. Second, the fact that the mental life of humans has been improved by better education, recreation and social activities also contributes to longer life. No one can deny that nowadays we have more schools than ever; therefore, people have more chances to gain knowledge. And, researchers have shown that people with higher education can probably live longer. In addition, the economic development gives rise to recreation and social activities which help people achieve their satisfaction. And of course, that happiness makes people live longer. In short, people now live longer because every aspect of their life is better than it used to be. We need to keep the balance between working, relaxing and resting to have a healthy life.

According to my dictionary: "Uniformity" is something like a standard among different parts of an organisation or a country Ex: They tried to ensure uniformity across the different departments so I think Bernadetta is right. hey! 1vs1 I think "as well as" and "and" are the same in this case.

Thanks!

Your skills are perfect, I thought everyone has reading materials from 1995-2000 Toefl tests, right? Did you have it?

But, "greatly" = very much (it sounds ok). The problem may lies in "either..or"

1.By 1830 the 23 towns of Hamsphire country, Massachusetts, had reached a remarkable uniform of enonomic development as well as population density

Composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, brought to the musical Oklahome! extensive musical and theatrical backgrounds as well as famililar with the traditional forms of Opretta and musical comedy. Wasley, how can you replace the word "famililar"...??

I have looked up in the Oxford Dictionnary We have the expression "critical+of" so Ouranous is right! the verb "term" DOES NOT goes with "as". Ex: He can hardly be termed a young man.
