Thanks for showing so very well, Kasia. I learned something important here. To make the first sentence in a paragraph a topic sentence.
I would like to learn how to write short stories. Your advice is welcome. (U.K.)

It is the best old-new methode to write what we want to explain. You know, I missed this, Tru. I really did.

I'm taking the exam this Saturday, and I'm pretty confident about the speaking part. I'll somehow manage to pass the listening and the use of English part, but the writing part? Oh boy, I'm so bad at writing essays, I'm not sure if I can pass that one. Those notes seem so confusing to me, and on top of that, I don't really know much about these topics, they seem too deep and I've never thought about them in my life xD But this video kind of helped me understand the basics, so thanks! Hopefully I'll pass and the money won't go to waste xD

[marianacorrea]

I’ll have the exam in a couple of months, but it’s good to study from now on :D

[sarahhamaguchi]

Hi! Thank you for this great short video. I just wish you had either indented the first word of each paragraph or skipped a line between paragraphs! I spend so much time trying to make my students do this! I won't be able to use your example in class.

[pokesmile]

Thank you for making this video! I am the youngest candidate for this exam in my school. I have the exam tomorrow.
Wish me luck! Have a great day! 🙃
