That’s great to hear, Elida. Maybe you can create just one sample to make sure we are on the same page? You will get paid for it of course.

Thanks Natalia! I appreciate your feedback. I clicked on the link you sent me and noticed that options A and B for Question 3 are the same. Could you please copy-paste B from my google doc again because that’s the right answer? Thanks!

Are you sure that the main purpose of the article to ‘advertise businesses in Rotterdam’? I think the correct answer should be ’ To emphasize the benefits of car-free zones.’

Oh, yes, that was a typo on my part in the answer key. Of course the correct answer is "To emphasize the benefits of car-free zones’. Thanks for noticing, Torsten!

Hi @bitarooh, I think you can improve your writing skills by reading the following text and trying to write it down again as exactly as possible. می توانید مهارتهای نوشتاری خود را با به خاطر سپردن جملات کامل بهبود بخشید. می توانید با نوشتن جملات در اینجا ، حافظه کوتاه مدت خود را تست کنید.
