There's a difference between bisexuality and infidelity.

Bisexuality stipulates that you can be seeing the same or opposite gender but not at the same time. Seeing two people at the same time in any kind of relationship amounts to infidelity.

As legit as the air we breathe in...

Because of you, I will limit my purchases to Amazon.

A mother beat her daughter because (her daughter) was drunk.

Logically, a mother would do this but there's a modicum of ambiguity in the statement.

You sound unfortunate, it seems you are anyway.

Lol

I just want to "re-touch" my hair

Please God bless me to take my parents abroad.

Lol this should be the least of your prayers.

Blackhawk03:
Thanks Bamz.

Any time pumpkin.

Blackhawk03:
A date please.

More than 200k will definitely come out of that date if you play your cards well and be yourself. Could be lifetime friendship, happy ever after sweetheart, long life business partners. So many things apart from what's going on in most girl's head. Look beyond the face and money biko.

You're really smart.

Addiction is a very strong spiritual issue. Involve an expert and pray fervently for him.

I'm a Christian but habits don't stop in a day. Don't begin to give a homily about this. Yes, prayer is imperative.

boolet:
Don't look at rehab as an option, he will end up messed up. He needs to be willing to quit first, as in, realising the need to even though he is still into it. That is a first and most important step. Next he needs a girl, help him find one, whi will love him and nag him.... At first he will sneak around, slowly but gradually. Also register him in the gym, activities to take his time. Above all, PRAY. I smoked weed for 10yrs and I've been clean for 5years without no urge...

God bless you for this. Everyone has the capacity to do something exceptional if they just decide to do it. If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm.

Very very veeeery difficult for me but the way things are going with the attractive ones acting up,I just might go for the available.

Lol we're almost in the same shoes. The ones I'm attracted to aren't available while the available ones don't just meet up to minimum requirements.

Not commenting these days. But i had to pass this information. They'll be a cure to sickle cell disease within the next 4-7 years and you don't have to worry about it being a life time disease. Tell the next guy this. I have veritable proof that can back this information up !

Thank you for your kind words.

stepo707:
i just did moct test just now...Here is what i observed especially for the retell lecture part.I wrote most of the points but because i was writing too fast, my writing was not so clear and so i could not retell properly as it gave me some few hesitations and i was just talking without looking at the time and so i could not give conclusions and the one that i gave conclusion, i got cut off while talking.am sure it will have an effect on my grammar.
Also for describe image, i was talking too much on content instead of just giving the main trends...i could not give conclusion...its important to give conclusion.am sure it will ahve an effect on my grammar score as well but i was more confident than previous test i did.

So i guess the more you practise the mock test, the better confident you are.Also i was more faster in the reading aspect.

Thanks for this and the site that you shared. Grammar or content scores? Anyway, the important thing is to get things right.

idNG:
Nice work.
For retell lecture I use the format recommended by Steven Fernandez in his book the "Ultimate Guide to PTE Academic."
This is the template I use:

-The lecture was a stimulating speech (given by the speaker)/(between two individuals) on...

-The lecture described in great detail...

- Another important point covered in the lecture was...

-In conclusion the lecture talked about...

With this method, understanding the topic sentence, giving two points from the lecture with a conclusion will effectively cover 35seconds of speaking. This means I will have more than 10 seconds preparation time and write my two points clearly before I start speaking to enhance my fluency and pronunciation which is the game changer for the speaking section.
Moreover, giving a conclusion always increases your score by at least 1 mark but it may not be possible in all scenarios as it is far worse to be cut off in mid sentence.

And from studies I think Read Aloud and Describe Image also carry alot of weight to Speaking Score.
I usually make mistakes in Read Aloud and that's what I want to work on.

Please let us know the result of your mock test.
Shalom!

I'm not sure it's imperative to give a conclusion for Retell Lecture. Thanks for the site that you shared although it's in Chinese.

Is there any reclusive test centre in Lagos?

idNG:
People I know with great speaking scores tell me they do not notice anything wrong with my speaking. This gets me really confused.
I don't think speaking faster is the way to go as I have been told by those who have broken d speaking code.
I think opening the mouth wider and using hand movements while speaking will help. Also placing stress on keywords is key.
God help us all!

What current materials do you have? I will like to have them too. As per the Testbuilder book, I find it not too interesting especially the way re-order paragraph is structured. Its a great book though because it prepares you for the toughest moments in PTE.

I'm following Joshin John's method with some modifications.

I have no hard copy textbooks.

JayCynic:
The woman's recumbent position shows just how women are malleable, into hoes, into sexslaves. Feminism to me sounds like a bullshited mazy phenomenon, it just doesnt hold. The man is a dick anyways.

Lol even with the expletives, this was a brutally apt comment. Drinks on me mate.

Berlyn1:
Before I go into any relationship, I let the so called boo know that we aint married yet and I am free to do whatever ....





wtf taking off her wig cuz she's talking to a guy.... Well what's my business when the girl is not feeling bad about it .... guess he did it in a funny way hence her reaction

I guess that aspect of being free to do whatever will go both ways and must be clearly defined too.

The way forward is making more friends, male and female. Friends could also refer their friends. It takes boldness to come out openly to say you're single, but you could easily tell a close friend who would be glad to help.

IamZod:
All the shots I tried shooting for most part of 2017, ended up being curved.
Most were even deflected into own goal sef.

As for for 2018, I'm not shooting shots no more, I will just wait by the goalpost and tap in easy and jejely.

Perhaps the reason for your being single is up there.

You should stick to football analysis.

Lmaoooo accept my sympathy Jodha

Yuneehk:
For me to get into a relationship, there's got to be atleast some sortta spark, likeness, and connection with that special someone. I'm yet to find that person who my heart connects with. Hopefully, come 2018, I'll meet him.

Are you looking for an electrician, dear ma?

idNG:
Impressive result for a first test.
As you did not finish your listening test, you shouldn't expect great writing scores because I don't think you were able to do "write from dictation."

You are so spot on, I was just about to start writing dictation before the time petered out.

idNG:
I have been pondering on the speaking test and I think it will take great confidence to get 79+ when speaking. (I'm yet to achieve this myself).

I'm glad that I took the test in an uncontrolled environment. Environment influences the result a great deal and we were 4 including me at my center. I suppose the guy closest to me should be getting a 90 in speaking. His voice totally drowned mine, and somehow affected my retell lecture. I should be looking forward to a quieter (more VIP setting) centres . I'm open to suggestions. Btw I went to LCF.

For speaking, I've been thinking quite a lot too, 79+ is achievable. When I get the trick, I will let you know but one thing is sure: doing the same thing won't yield a different result.

I understand that 'content' isn't the all in all. You want to improve your pronunciation, yet you don't want your fluency to be hindered. One thing I would try is to 'open my mouth more' when I'm doing the speaking exercise. I believe this would require a conscious effort.

I intend sending my recordings to a friend to see how well I'm improving as well.

idNG:
From the little I know: You should try and work faster next time and pay close attention to SWT, SST and FIB/R&W

I wil recommend PTE Academic Testbuilder and PTE Academic Practice Test Plus. Both books come with CD. Study the materials at least twice before taking your next test.

Shalom!

Thanks, I actually find all the tasks exciting lol. I used those materials but I'm sure they are the outdated ones.Something tells me that I need a hardcopy for the PTE Academic Testbuilder. That book is very helpful particularly the student answers.

stepo707:
result is out and speaking and reading messed me up with score 68 and 74 respectively
my writing and listening are 81 respectively.

My pronunciation was very very low.am so devastated now as i needed 20pts for my PR

Listening 81
Reading 74
Speaking 68
Writing 81
Oral Fluency 77
Grammar 81
Pronunciation 23
Spelling 88
Vocabulary 86
written discourse 69

I have taken my first test. My result is very funny considering I was expecting 79+ in Reading and Writing.

Listening 63
Reading 83
Speaking 68
Writing 67

Oral Fluency 63
Grammar 78
Pronunciation 49
Spelling 90
Vocabulary 90
Written Discourse 79

PS. I did not finish Listening maybe that was accounted for my low scores but the score for my Writing is debatable. I've never scored less than 79 in Writing even in mock tests.

Don't start what you cannot finish. Place them on an amount you can continue with comfortably when you get married. Otherwise you'll cause problem for your future wife if you either reduce the amount or stop when you get married.

Too much sense will not kill you.
