Hlo mam, just want to ask , do you provide any writing check task 2 service , if yes please tell the link, so that I can mail you for writing checking service, also please tell the fees for the reviews.

Is there any PDF handout for these words?

Am I allowed to mention a personal example in task 2 academic using personal pronouns (If I was asked to write an example using my personal knowledge or experience)?

I have my exam in 1 hour😅 must needed video💯🤞

I have 3 weeks for my exam. Can my score improve?

if you say: Going to the university is a stepping stone to find out a coveted job. I mean "stepping stone" could not be used like "a big deal"?
