The speaker is saying it as a fact - she must be very healthy - there is no doubt about it. She might be very healthy would mean there is some doubt about it. _________________ English as a Second Language You can read my ESL story Read all about it |

Good moning, Mr. T. I just took the test for lesson number 25, and I got them all rignt, I scored 10 out of 10. Can I take more than one test per day? Everey time I take a test, no matter the score, It is a challlenge for me, believe me, I want to improve my english. Since my mother tongue is Spanish, and I came to U,S. been an adult, it is iknd of hard for me to speak english, cllearly. In my mind I have all the words I need to express myself, but do not knoww hou to put them in the correct order.Could helpme, with some ideas?? Thank you very mucho for your help in everyday problem with thii class.

Dear Eduardo,
Many thanks for sharing your successes with me. Yes, of course you should take more than just one test per day. You can complete as many tests per day as you like. For more information on this, please read How to take the next test?
As for expressing yourself, I think the best method to improve your speaking skills is to listen to English dialogs on a daily basis. How much time do you spend listening every day?

Hello to everyone,
I'd try to answer this question # 3 on 'responses' I was incorrect. But, now I observed the word "always" and this mean a choice selection on the answers with a word "must" to be the correct answer, is this right Alan?

"They were all reluctant to speak to the journalist before he established his credentials, since they were wary that he might be an agent impersonating journalists." I dare to send the above sentence, which I think very helpful to better understand difference between the usages of "must be" and "might be". |

Dear Mr. Torsten
Thanks for your lesson#. 25 regarding TOEIC test. It's really very interesting and informative. I attempt it and got 9 out of 10 but I couldn't see my score...
Please explain from where I can see my score?
thanks and keep guiding in this nice way.....
Have a good day |

Sylla, you should post a seperate question, and not add to what is already being discussed. Go to the top of the page and press, " New topic."
You will then get a quick reply.

Hi! I've chosen the (b) variant, but what's wrong with (a) ('She is very healthy')? If Jane knew 'her', she could answer this way to the Mike's remark. Don't you think so?
Mike: 'She always goes to work on a bike.' Jane: 'She is very healthy and active.' |

Hi RB,
I think if Jane said: She is very healthy and active', this isn't really a comment that is relevant to what Mike has just said and doesn't as it were follow on.. Possibly she could say something like: In that case she is clearly very healthy ... or Obviously/Clearly she is ... That's why Jane should say: She must be ... and that sounds better because it is a conclusive comment based on what Mike has said.
Hope that makes sense.
