I am new to this form. However, I have been reading many of your feedback. I appreciate your time and generosity in helping us non-English speakers to understand many complex English words and the usages of the language. I have always looking for someone to help me in improving my English skills. Some how the way you have made the language much easier to understand for me. It is a blessing for me to discover this website. I live in US, California, San Francisco. It might sound like a little bid inappropriate if I ask your help in some of my writing. I know you don’t have the obligation to say yes.
Question: Do you where I can get a comprehensive assessment for my English level on-line free of charge? I feel that I am not totally a beginner but not at the college level as I wanted to be. I would like to narrow down my learning scope. Thank you in advance.
Tiffany, I think you can borrow a TOEFL book from the library that has sample tests on CD-ROM. That will give you the assessment you want, I think, at least of your passive English, but not necessarily of your active English. If your library doesn’t have one of those, you can get one at a big bookstore. They’re not that expensive.
Thank you for your response. I am not sure I understand what you mean by “passive English” and “active English”. Please explain. hI will go to one of my local library or a book store to check out The TOEFL. It sounds familiar. I think I might have taken it once before I enrolled in my first year of college, but I am not sure. It was a long time ago.
