How are you? I am worried and I hope you are fine! Message or PM me if you wish to talk, okay?

Thank you so very much. Hoping to read them at some point this year!

I saw that you are reading the witcher saga and I was curious to know, some places say that the last wish is the first book but then some other places I've looked have said that the blood elves (I believe that's the title) is the first book. Can I skip the last wish and still understand what is going on?

Well that's a good question, I am taking all of them within August to October (IELTS, ACT, SAT, Toefl), however I am not so sure about taking Toefl yet. And also, if I failed any of the tests then I will need to take a second try, which will have to be after my A levels, in December.

But honestly, it isnt that bad. All that matters is still I need to be good in English. If I can fix that then it doesnt matter if I take 10 exams or less

And hey dont say that! I understand how doing practice tests can be so frustrating when you see little or no improvement. But if that's the case, is it because you are too stressed out, or you not having enough confidence? I just want to let you know that you can do great, but you need to believe you can!

I know how hard it is to believe that, or else I wont be struggling with the same thing

But in any case I sincerely wish you good luck in the exams. And its just 8 more days!

That's really interesting. A friend u used to be very close to is Serbian and she told me that the letter "s" is pronounced "sh"
That's kinda how it is for Hebrew but there's actually 2 letters that look identical except for where the dot is placed and one is an S sound and the other is a Sh sound. But certain things in English like Jerusalem is pronounced Yerushalyim in Hebrew. Well there's no J sound so it turns into a Y sound and the S seems to be turning into an Sh. There's another letter besides the identical pair that has a S sound but it is more of a "ce" and a "ts" letter
But j took modern Hebrew in college and some letters got changed up since I took Hebrew in a bilingual elememtary/Jr high school. There's now a j sound by putting an accent on the "gimmel" which is the hard g sound.

Sorry if all this was complicated.

They chose French because they're from Lebanon (and Syria, Iraq etc but my parents were both born in Lebanon) and Lebanon was colonized by France at some point. My French teacher in high school didn't believe me till she looked it up
Many of them ran away to France during the Lebanese civil war becsuse they learned French as a second language. Some of them knew English as a third language and eventually came to the USA.
Even up to now, my grandma speaks in arabic with random French and English words. I grew up using some french words thinking it was part of the English language or just pronouncing certain words different to the standard way.

Well it does!

Good luck in your CAE exams, do your best!

Yup, I will have a break after that, but many other exams (like SAT, IELTS, Toefl) will arrive as soon as I finish my last paper!

Okay. If you need to talk, just let me know. I'm good now. Thanks.

Dont stress up! Well, work on them one by one and I am sure you can finish all of them well. I am glad that you are doing fine

Nah, my last two papers are on 7/6/17 and 8/6/17 (D/M/Y) respectively, and I still need to study for them a lot! And then I have the math contests to take care about, which... I honestly still felt very fed up with it.

But today is great! Well I walked to the nearby place to have my breakfast, but unfortunately I didn't realize how my money droped off during the walk and I had nothing to pay them. Obviously I am very scared and I was about to return the food (silly me), but they just told me: "Its okay, you dont have to pay. You need to eat breakfast!"

And sometime later I found the money and obviously I gave more than the price, as an appreciation, but they certainly didnt want to extras. Well I had no choice, so I took them back, but I really really thank them for their kindness

Hey, how's it going? Hugs

I haven't received it. I had changed the settings to only have friends see my VM profile. I realize that people who know me might be able to identify me and I freaked out. I changed my name to Maizel as well.
Then I added you as a friend becsuse I realized you weren't on my friend list so now you can post xD
I apologize though. I hate when my posts get erased. So I'm sorry that happened
