OBS: 7.5
I bought the ielts materials sa niner ng april first week. I took the ielts 2008 pa and passes the exam for US nga lang scores ko. Pero this time i need all 7 for australia. Additional 10 points na din.
This is GT. Mahirap din in a way pero i undertand yung hirap ng nag aacademic.
Wag lang po susuko! Kaya nyo din to, on top of all the reviews that I did, kasabay pa ng work ko, pinaka effective talaga ang madalas na pagdadasal at specific tayo sa mga pinagdadasal natin. Our God is a generous God!

Sa letter naman, i was happy na may naisip pa ako na idiomatic expressions kaya natuwa din ako.
Madami din sa youtube, kahit simple yung mga iba tutorials, watch it pa din kasi may kukuha at makukuha pa din tayo
