hello, I'm very glad I found you on youtube, I was wondering what I should study, I improved my language, I found you a little late, I have an exam in 4 days, I want to thank you very much, the world is beautiful when we help each other, I wish you health and peace
My exam for London PHV driver "Uber" They want B1 level thanks to you i understood what is required if i had a little more time i would like to be your student
Question : 'People make assumptions about others based on what they wear. What is your opinion ?' - Yes. Would this answer be good be enough to ace C2 ?
No it would not pass C2. You need to elaborate on why you agree or disagree with the statement. You should aim to speak for at least thirty seconds but ideally longer ! David
Thank you so much whole lots sir David. You are not only a great teacher, you are also a gentle, corporate and good person..And I have good news. I had passed my B2 exam with a high pass🥳🥰✌️ if we compare with IELTS score that will be equal to 6.5. Am I right?
Hi, thank you for your excellent explanation of these different levels. I actually never selftested myself and would do it asap. Do you have any website in mind that you recommend ?
Good evening sir David. I am Georgina from Mauritius a small island I have done two time, the first time I passed in listening and lettering. The second time I passed with merit in lettering and speaking pass in my listening but failed in reading. Can you help me to improve in the reading test b1 for UK
Hello Georgina, thanks for your message. In fact I have been to Mauritius, I was there two years ago. It is a beautiful country. Well, it is difficult for me to say what problem you have with the reading part of the exam. I think it would be better if you found an English teacher in Mauritius who is familiar with the LanguageCert exams. Is this possible? Face to face lessons are always more beneficial for the student. David
I am doing UKVI B1 level on next Wednesday. Yes of course my teacher is doing her best to help me by lesson on line. I am doing the test by computer not face to face.
