Good morning. You don't say what your scores were, so we have no idea of your weaknesses.
Two weeks between exams for someone with such low scores isn't very long. You need at least six weeks of fairly intensive tuition to improve.

Kitos.

well I will try to write about large city and it is advantages

In my opinoin, large city is my best choice because it has more opitions for transportation, it improves my relationships and most importantly it has range of facilities.

First of all, the variety in the transportation will give me a chance for choose the best way to achieve my goals. For instance, I have lived in a large city in my country and it has a train, buses and metro. Therefore, I was going to my work by different kind of transportations. Also, If you leave in a large city, you will need a car.

Social relationships, moreover, will imrpove if you leave in the large city. For example, usaully in the large cities there are different people from different countries. Thus, you might have friends from the south,east and the north.

The most important reason why I prefer living in the large city is that large citiy has range of facilities. It has univeristy, court, hospitals..etc. Therefore, I do not need to travel from city to city to achieve what I need. For Example, like what I mention I have leaved in the large city. Because of that, I did not need to change my city to study in the univeirsty. But some of my friends, who leaved in small cities used to change their city to study in the univeirsty.

In conclusion, I prefer living in the large city because the transportions, the socail realthionships and it has a range in it is facilities.

First of all, the variety in the transportation will give me a chance TO choose the best way to achieve my goals. For instance, I have lived in a large city in my country and it has a trainS, buses and A metro. Therefore, I was going to my work by different kind of transportation EACH DAY. Also, If you LIVE in a large city, you will need a car.

Social relationships, moreover, will IMPROVE if you LIVE in A large city. For example, USUALLY in the large cities there are different people from different countries. Thus, you might have friends from the south, east and the north.

The most important reason why I prefer living in A large city large citiy IS THAT IT has A range of facilities. It has A univeristy, A court-HOUSE AND hospitals etc,. Therefore, I do not need to travel from city to city to achieve what I need. For example, like what I mentionED EARLIER; I have LIVED in A large city. Because of that, I did not need to change my city to study in the UNIVERSITY(,) but some of my friends who LIVED in THE smallER cities(,) used to HAVE TO change their city to study in the UNIVERSITY.

In conclusion, I prefer living in A large city because OF the CONVENIENT TRANSPORTATION, the SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS and it has a WIDE range in it is OF facilities.

Well, that was pretty good ... so your other abilities must need improving. How is your speaking voice, and your hearing? I already know your reading if fine because your writing bears that out. (Apart, that is, from your spelling.)

USA studying english ) but actully I think my weaknes in the reading and listning sections I can understand for reading but I do not know how I can improve my self on it I bought bith barrons 2010 and princiton and I have been studying them

so I need some advice from you

alsoI need to get 80 as score during the next 4 months

so do you recommend that I take the test every time that avaliable to me or this will slow my goal

really I am confused about this point I can take every two weeks but I am not sure if it is good idea or not and I need advice from one has an experince for that so can you help me

[Kitosdad]

Well, I have no personal experience of taking the test, but I am a native speaker. I shouldn't take the test until you feel absolutely confident of your ability to pass it. Every time you fail it will reduce your confidence even more. Far better to spend a few weeks here writing and recording your voice.
We have hundreds of essays written here by your fellow students. I'm pretty sure reading the errors of others will make you smile and boost your confidence. You can also listen to many recorded stories that were written and recorded by myself and others on the Speaking thread.
Stick around a while. I'm sure you will find many benefits here.
