Hello Simon!
First of all, I would like to express my grateful thanks to this website. It is extremely useful to me indeed. I am planning to take the Ielts test at the end of the year, so I am practicing now. Among the 4 skills, reading is my big deal esp the type of finding paragraph containing the information. I've been confused with this type and have no any tip to get through this problem. Could you please help me out with this point. Thank you a lot!
Posted by: Nhu Thien | Sunday, October 26, 2014 at 14:17
Hello Simon,
Can I ask you a question about the grammar in this paragraph?
Why 'The amount of British students' instead 'the number of British students'
thanks!
