Too long time with no Official Announcement

Although I've been thinking it for long, now I've finally decided: this June I'm taking the CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) exam. That's the following step after the First Certificate, which I already own. And the last one I'll take, as the next one is unattainable for me, unless I'm going to live for some years to England and study everyday of all-type subjects in perfect English

Until now I had it in mind, but I was not sure because my speaking and, very specially, my listening skills, are not very high, but now, after Barcelona gathering, I feel more confident in both skills

So... if I have success in that exam, I'll be able to properly kill English with the knowledge of it!!

Alright, let's put a proper name to that Luth: that's called premeditated murder! ... oh my! things are getting nastier

Let's face it, Alu,

premedicated murder is much most effectively, then killing on accident.

So congrats, my queen! Take the English-killing to a whole new level!

Cheers!

Markus

Best wishes, my Queen, and please keep us updated.

Ok. Soon it will be over. On 3th June I have the oral exam, and on 15th I have all the other parts of the exam (Reading, Writing, Use of English and Listening). On July, 26, I'll know the results

OMG... I'm scared. I'm not sure that the examiner is going to appreciate my special vocabulary...

Like... "OMCD! I'm running out of booze - hast thou some left for thy queen?" - that kind of special vocabulary?

Luth · « **Reply #186 on:** May 10, 2011, 10:53:59 pm »

Yup, this special vocabulary

Markus · « **Reply #187 on:** May 10, 2011, 11:59:06 pm »

Don't you worry, oh Regina Mala Mea!

In case they fail to recognise and acknowledge your abilities at ~~killi~~ speaking English, their frightening and horrible deaths will look just like accidents - bizarre yet deadly. Nobody's going to see the connection between their weird death (involving red and blue scarves as well as spoons and pinkberries) and a certain evil queen.

Cheers!

Luth, you are the best. Go teach them some normal English!

Markus · « **Reply #189 on:** May 11, 2011, 08:53:20 am »

Yeah, seriously: I understand that you're nervous, Luth, but I'm sure you'll pass easily.

My fingers are crossed, of course. They'll really keep you waiting six weeks for the results?

Cheers!

Markus

Luth · « **Reply #190 on:** May 11, 2011, 12:24:08 pm »

Yep, in this technologic era, I have to wait six months. I don't rememeber how long it was in the First Certificate, but I think it was even more

I don't fear (too much) about the reading/writing/use of English part; I quite fear the listening and, what it is the worse, it's the speaking. Apart from the fact that nerves are required, and I have too much of them, I know they are really tough with this part. I wish I don't say any american word, or they'll hang me from the finger in the highest part of the ship

The One · « **Reply #191 on:** May 11, 2011, 02:50:04 pm »

May I ask what test are you taking? Is it the IELTS?

Luth · « **Reply #192 on:** May 11, 2011, 03:23:23 pm »

Nope, it's CAE (Certificate in Advanced English). It's European (so... English, not American). I'm not sure of the equivalent in American English

Markus · « **Reply #193 on:** May 11, 2011, 10:43:28 pm »

Hey folks,

I prefer British English to American, anyway. Well, I prefer early modern English to modern, but that's a bit too much, I suppose.

Anyway, Luth, they just ought to know that their health depends greatly on your marks. And I'm sure they'll be fine because I'm sure you'll pass, and you'll pass with a good result.

Cheereth!

Markus

The One · « **Reply #194 on:** May 12, 2011, 04:22:31 am »

Just wondering, cause the IELTS is given out by the Brits as well. And the States gives out the TOEFL. Both of them are too expensive for their own good.

Luth · « **Reply #195 on:** June 03, 2011, 03:30:29 pm »

Oh...well... speaking done! Unluckily I had not the chance to perform my Notessomist Special English today... perhaps I'll try with the Writing

I think I performed it quite well, at least I've comitted no deadly mistake I am aware of, and I didn't babbled too much. Does it counts?

Markus · « **Reply #196 on:** June 03, 2011, 03:41:49 pm »
