Hi everybody!

I've just bumped into this website and really think it's very helpful! I'm a CAE student... so if you want to share "english feedback" I'll be here.

Good luck!

Hola Patagonia (by the way, you've changed your name, haven't you?)
I don't think I should give you any advice, since I still haven't passed the exam. Haven't you done any exams in class or at home? I did, at home, and that's how I realized very soon that this exam don't give you time to think. Actually, I think that is very important to read quickly.
As for the writing exam, well, I was happy with the exam I did, but who knows. I have only done two writing exercises at the academy, and the teacher said they were OK, but... Anyway, if you can write correctly in Spanish, you will easier get a good level in English. When I talk about writing correctly I'm talking about explaining your ideas in order, linking sentences... Anyway, I'm sure that your teacher will give you better advice than me.
