Hi Alan Blue,

The saying lightning never strikes in the same place twice means that misfortune does not occur twice in the same way to the same person.

As for your suggestion to add explanations to each test, we think it's more interesting when people can interact with each other here on the forum. Asking questions is the most effective way to learn a language, wouldn't you agree?

I agree with you that each question has explanations in order that we can understand more about the situation used as well as the meaning of the question.

I think Torsten is absolutely right, it's worked for me.
Take this for instance, when you read something for the first time you're likely to forget it if you don't brush it up in a short time, on the other hand, if you take the time to ask in the forum and wait anxiously for the answer you'll probably keep that in mind for a litter longer without reviewing it so soon. At least it's my sudent's point of view.

Let me know if it makes sense to you.

Sorry just a typo above: little
