Hi, I´m Valeria from Argentina. I´m going to give an exam at Cambridge Institute in Argentina. It´s the last exam, Superior level , so i´ll be able to give classes at elementary school. (it´s not FCE)
I would like to know about some tips for the oral test! ( becouse of the nerves, i think i´m going to forget all :oops:)
Honestly,I haven´t a huge kwowledge about vocabulary, English expressions,etc. I don´t know if i´ll pass the exam, but i must try! ;-)

Please, let me know too, how my writting is. ( if there are many mistakes:-|)

Thank you!
Best Regard from B.A!

My main piece of advice for the oral test is don't panic! Relax, deep breaths, think about what you are going to say before you start a sentence and if you get stuck in the middle of a sentence, just take a moment to reconsider and then carry on.

I have made corrections in red to your piece. There are a few main problems:

- Remember that you must capitalise the word "I" (first person singular).
- Put the full stop at the very end of a sentence, even if that is after brackets.
- Do not put a space before a comma, but put a space after a comma.
- Do not put a space before a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark, but put a space after them.
- Put a space before an opening bracket "(" but no space after it.
- Do not put a space before a closing bracket ")" but put a space after it.
