Thanks for your reply. I will like to know why the phrase doesn’t sound very natural. I will say it differently in two ways whichever is ok please let me know.
(1) They all have different social /career affiliations (2) They come from all works of life |
Hi Julie,
I think the best phrase is "they come from all walks of life." Regards, Torsten _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Hi Sweta,
Many thanks for your message. I'm very glad you like the email English. As for the TOEFL, what exactly would you like to know? Regards, Torsten PS: Please remember the words "u" and "n" don't exist in English. Good spelling habits are vital if you want to score high marks on the TOEFL exam. _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Hi Waala,
8 out of 10 correct on the first attempt is pretty good. Now please try this one and let me know your score.

Hi Torstern, Even though these tests were not for me, I tried them. I had 6 out of 10 at the first one ( shame on me!!!!) and 10 out of 10 at the second one. What do you think of these marks and could you please help me to define my English level? Thanks in advance. Régine |
