Re: Can I write in ALL CAPS on the IELTS Reading and Listeni

May I ask a few questions regarding to the ALL CAPS solution?
Should I absolutely write everything in ALL CAPS? Take 2 a.m. for example, can I keep the lower case or do I need to write 2 A.M.? What about 30th June, Can I write 30TH JUNE?

Re: A question from speaking part 3

You can ask the examiner to explain it to you if you're not sure. Communicating with the examiner about the question will never get you penalized if you are truly fluent.

Re: Question to Ryan regarding writing

I guess the word "ramify" is only used in America, isn't it? It's weird because my Oxford, Longman and Collins dictionary doesn't have this word.

Re: Please Grade My Speaking: Clothing

:D Thanks a million for pointing out the things I need to work on. I've been trying to reduce my "um" "uh" and redundant repetition. And I think I'll change the way I sound very soon. Thanks.

Re: Please Rate My Speaking:Your Favorite Music

Hello, Charmy, I had to laugh when you were talking because I get sick of listening to Spanish, of which I am an intermediate speaker, after about ten minutes. You are dedicated if you can listen to English one hour, much less the five that you mentioned. You were very fluent and easy to understand...

Re: First practice A Gift

Your pronunciation is basically clear. I can easily understand what you said. However, I guess you were reading instead of speaking spontaneously. Am I right? In your recording, you said, "It's because I lack of patience." That's not grammar. You should say "I lack patience" or &...

Re: foreign film

Hey, durai.
I saw your signature:
APR 2014 L 8 R 9 W 6.5 S 7
I calculated the average which is 7.625. I'm just curious if you ended up getting 7.5 or 8 in this case?
